Piazzetta

On the Streets of Rue St Catherine– walked into a well reviewed Italian Pizzariea. We started off with their original Sangria– rose wine. The the Dukka– Egyptian dish (medley of spices) and fresh bread and oil. You would pull off a piece of bread — drench it in some oils and dip it to pick up the spices. Main meal we shared two types of pico pizza. Definitely reasonable to have two ppl share. We ended the meal with biscotti and chocolate café. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Explained the dishes well and provided time between meals– not rushed at all. We experience a few uninvited visitors off the patio– some street people– although they seemed harmless they did interrupt out meals. The staff were extremely protective and polite when turning the «uninvited» guests away. Did not at all taint our experience — in fact — added to the entertainment. The only thing I didn’t like was that people smoked too close to the patio.

Maybe it was our choice of dishes but I don’t see myself coming here again … and I live about a two minute walk.
The patio makes for a good hangout in the summer and the service is exceptional. The food however, wasn’t anything to run home about. The menu is innovative, I’ll give them that. We joked around and called it a ‘hipster’ Italian restaurant since they serve «Italian» food like smoked salmon pizza rolls, and cheeseburger pizza.
We tried both these options, and our third diner had her favourite thing to order at Italian restaurants, seafood linguini. We had salads to start and I think that was the most memorable part of the meal.
The pizza rolls seemed exotic and delicious on the menu, but once served, lacked as a dish. Was it flavourful? Yes. Did these flavours all work together? I’m still not sure. The cheeseburger pizza was reported to be okay, and our third diner became sick shortly after having her pasta.
If we do return, it may only be for drinks on the patio.

We went to this restaurant for dinner on a Saturday night and sit on the terrace… It was full ! The server was so friendly and helpful. We ordered some Bruschettas and Pizzas. The Bruschetta chèvre was delicious with the dry tomato on the top… The Elegante Pizza was not on a Focaccia dough as we ordered, but more a traditional crust… But it was tasty and fresh.
The Spanish Syrah red wine had a strong character but it was perfect with the pizza.
The only comment is the waiting time to get your plate probably because it was so busy, but other than that, all was descent and good.

Very good service.
Very good food.
Very good drinks.
Good desserts.
Good price.

we were warned not to get pizza in montreal, so naturally we did (because we’re rebels like that). i’m not really sure why we were warned away from pizza, but this place was great! it’s a nice place, but not too fancy (c’mon, it’s pizza).
there was a mix of clientele the night we went– several groups of friends/​colleagues, couples, a couple with a baby, and me with a teenager.
you know those servers who can read your face and bring you what you want? yeah, our server was THAT GUY. simply outstanding. cheers to you, my friend! do servers normally make sure you like the wine before they pour a glass at a pizzeria? not generally at pizza places in my state, that’s for sure. perhaps i just don’t normally get a chance to visit those fine establishments. 5 stars for service!
there was a mixup in our order (probably the mumbly teen’s fault) which they promptly corrected, and very well. the pistou and vegetarian pizzas were both fantastic: pretty good flavor, super thin crust, maybe could have used some more herbs and spices (but that’s my preference). i did have to teach the kid to eat it with a knife and fork, as she’s never seen such a strange thing.
the kid also got a nice tiramisu at the end of dinner, which aturally i had to check for quality before i could let her have any. it was not the traditional tiramisu– no detectable ladyfingers– but still a tasty dessert. 4 stars for food.
would definitely visit again!

The food here was excellent, but it took an hour for my order to be taken, then almost another for the food to come, and yet another hour for me to get my check after finishing. The space was nice and inviting, but WOW was the service slow.

Simply excellent!!! Great service, delicious food, and the ambiance is delightful. Thumbs up to this spot!!!

Great pizza choices, and they have undoubtedly one of the best patios on St. Catherine. Service was perfect — the staff was always there when we needed something but didn’t bother us in our conversation. They have a good menu, not too big or complex but informative & easy to read. The best thing about this place, and the thing that separates them from other quality pizza places is their $ 12,50 meal. For that you can choose an appetizer and a dessert. Most of the desserts are $ 8 to $ 9 so it’s a great way to have a complete dinner experience at a reasonable price. As for the pizza, they clearly use fresh herbs & high quality cheese. My prosciutto pizza was fabulous; I’ve never had a better pizza. The ambience here is great; they have a good selection of beers on tap and it’s not too loud but yet has a fun feel to it. This is a great choice for larger parties because they have the patio available.

I really like this place but left disappointed. The vegetarian pizza deluxe is amazing and the bread pudding delicious. However, the service tonight was uncomfortable, I felt like I was bothering the server. This is my third time at this restaurant but after today it will be my last .
Food 4 stars
Service 1 star

i ordered delivery from here recently. i assumed that an $ 18 basic cheese pizza would have high quality ingredients, but this was not the case. there was absolutely nothing about it that could justify the price… i’ve had better for under $ 12 elsewhere, so that was disappointment #1.
#2 was their bruschetta. i HOPE it was just a mix up, but the bruschetta had parsley on it??? and no basil. so basically it was just sloppily diced tomatoes, parsley, and a negligible amount of garlic and olive oil on untoasted white bread: i.e. not something i would ever purposely order.

NE PAS commander autre chose que les pizza (qui sont bonnes). Pourquoi payer la même chose qu’une grande pizza mais pour une petite portion de pâtes??? Autant mieux aller au restaurant «Le Planète».

Great restaurant! Very efficient service, and very courteous server. The focaccia pizza is great, as are both the soup and salad! They also serve awesome bread rolls, piping hot from their oven (which makes for an amazing pizza experience — they know their bread (and it’s delicious!)). Very trendy and stylish to boot! Their table oil is pretty good too.

On our second visit to Montréal and our third visit to Piazetta. This is a cosy atmospheric restaurant. Food is tasty and reasonably priced. The waiter remembered our drinks order after a year! That’s impressive! Highly recommend for a casual supper

Nice place among the many restaurants on Saint Catherine’s. The pizza was good and the waiters were friendly. Also the price was very reasonable. Comparable to places like California Pizza in the US.

Bön choix pour une bonne pizza a croûte mince. Il y a pas mal de choix possible de pizza. Le service est rapide et l’ambiance est décontracte.

Great place. Not feeling up to huge New Years Dinner with friends, so I dined solo. Server and staff very friendly. Great thin crust pizza. I had the Generosa, it comes in 3 sizes, including the Piccolo for one. Bravo 5 stars, Café filtre hot and strong. Thank you Philip !

The conference folks picked this place for the gay dinner. It’s basically a step or two above Pizza Hut. Waiter was nice and very cute. They all seem to be very nice here in Montréal compared to the USA, I have to admit.

A problem with the restaurants along Sainte-​Catherine rue is that they seem to fall into two categories: hole-​in-​the wall, mostly take-​away dives aimed at drunken university students, or much more upscale restaurants populated mainly by romantic-​looking couples perched at tiny tables. I was in town for a conference and a friend had had to cancel at the last minute, so I was wandering around looking for a late dinner by myself.
Piazzetta seemed pleasantly casual in an upscale way and also did not have a wait. In the event, I was very pleasantly surprised by the food.
The Caesar salad was a very tangy, caper-​laden composition and very tasty. As the name of the restaurant implies, they specialize in delightful thing crust pizzas, some quite traditional and some more experimental. I was tempted to try the Germaniinspired special, with sauerkraut, red onions, and I believe sausage, but instead I went for the pizza Diavolo. It was surprisingly spicy and flavorful. The crust is particularly good – quite crisp with a hint of Parmesan baked into it. They have a number of decent Italian and Californian wines by the class.
I asked the waiter’s recommendation among several very tempting dessert options and followed his guidance in ordering the Praline royale. I am fairly picky about chocolate desserts, but this was perfect. Rather like a light chocolate mousse cake, with several layers and it crossed with a pleasantly sharp crunchy sweetness to it. Overall, it presented a satisfying chocolate richness without being cloying or overwhelming the way that some chocolate desserts can.
Definitely a fan, and would actively come back to try more of their pizzas and more of the desserts when next in Montréal. I am giving this 3 stars rather than for only because I try not to give 4 stars on a single visit.

Sunny tables, sublime music, great food and good service…
Great for people-​watching, good wine list too!
Staff very patient with me practicing my rusty Francais
Free wifi spot if you register too!

Marjorie’s Pizza: quel délice!

My trip was interesting to say the least. I ordered the Creole pie and my friend ordered the Seafood pizza. The food arrived and looked amazing and did taste good for a gourmet pizza. However upon leaving the restaurant, my friend didn’t feel so well. I am not sure if it was the pizza or if he was sick, but ended up being sick the entire night.
I’m sure the food is good, after all I had the Creole pie and was completely yummy and will return here again. I am however reluctant to order the Seafood pizza.

Yum! We had the Prosciutto pizza here and it was delicious. Our waiter was very friendly (and attractive). The price for a medium-​sized pizza was pretty good ($ 13 – 18) and we had plenty to eat. The prices for wine were decent as well. This is a nice place to go for a gourmet pizza and get a lot of bang for your buck. Also, it is decorated very funky and cool, which is fitting for the Village/​Latin Quarter area of Montréal.
