    Best Pizza in town!!  So many choices and so many possibilities to satisfy the picky eaters.  Personally I prefer my pizza nice and simple (Vegetarian style).  Don't forget to bring your wine.  The ambiance is fun and the service is very friendly.  Don't forget to try out the Salsiccia alla Rocco.  

    I did not try their pasta but I am sure you cannot go wrong.  I believe that Pizza Napoletana and Pizza Focolaio are the best Pizza places in Montreal in that order.

    Maybe the best at what they do!

    Fantastic thin crust pizzas. OMG. I ate there for lunch, I'm still full, yet I'm craving more. I'm out of control!

    Now if this wasn't enough... It's bring your own wine. BYOW!

    Friendly staff. Fast service.

    I come here every few months with my friends and I'm dazzled by the food every single time. The food is... AMAZING.

    This is a typical Italian pizza and pasta restaurant that has a "cafeteria" style décor (which I love). The place is usually full and a line-up is normal.... It doesn't take that long for us to get a table, and the wait is so worth it.

    I would suggest you split a pizza and pasta dish with a friend as there is so much on the menu that is divine.

    Please note, this is a BYOB and they only take cash.

    I strongly recommend to anyone!

    Great pizza with many other selections I want to come back to try.  Service was a little slow, but I came in for lunch at 2:30 so I wasn't expecting much.  

    BYOW, so come prepared.

    I love the Pasta here, and the Pizza too. The owners are really Italian, and its not the typical Italian restaurant, It is kid friendly, and it is higher paced then most Pizzerias.
    THIS IS NOT PIZZA HUT. and should not be compared to Italo-American Standards.

    Pizzeria has been has been in business for over 50 years. They must be doing something right. Don't go here to expect a romantic evening, it's quite small, and always busy.

    I have to give Pizzeria Napoletana the five stars. The reason for such a high rating is because when my mouth meets an amazing dish of pesto pasta - I am a very happy girl! The restaurant may be small, but the portions were not. The dish of spaghetti swam in the pesto. They nailed it.

    My husband had a really good cannelloni and agreed that Pizzeria Napoletana was a good choice for our Italian food night while visiting Montreal for a short time.

    One of the downsides is that they do not accept credit cards, so I think they should step into 2011 and figure out a way to start accepting cards. We did not have enough cash on us and had to use the in house ATM.

    One other thing is that I think they could do a little better on the bread selection - I feel like I was eating a hot dog bun instead of Italian bread.

    This place is seriously delicious and the most perfect portion size ever! I got the mushroom and black olive pizza and it was delicious! The toppings are under the sauce and cheese as well as on top so when you bite into your pizza, everything stays in place instead of toppings and cheese sliding off and burning your chin. (That always seems to happen to me haha)

    Had the tirimasu also and it was soooo good!

    I definitely recommend this place!

    I went here during a recent weekend trip to Montreal.  While the restaurant is billed as "authentically Italian", in my opinion, it's far more Italian-American than traditional Italian fare (fine, if that's your thing).  Reminds me of the "red sauce" Italian places you find commonly in NYC.

    First up was a mozzarella di buffala with tomatoes and basil - a simple, classic dish that I love to make at home.  The dish was edible but the cheese was too firm, the olive oil was thin and watery and finally the basil was chopped too finely to be tasted.

    Two pizzas were up for dinner, the Toscana with prosciutto, arugula and diced tomatoes and the "chef's special" with Italian sausage, rapini and parmigiano.  The first was fresh and tasty but a little uneventful.  The second was loaded with a cheap, salty parmigiano cheese that overwhelmed the flavours of the other ingredients.

    The bring-your-own-wine, cash-only bit is a bit downscale given the prices. The servers are all in a tremendous rush to keep the food coming which makes it a difficult place to relax.  Great place to bring the kids since it's noisy and bustling though.  Given the chance, I probably wouldn't go back.

    You remember that scene in Sopranos when Toni and Paulie go to Italy, so excited for the Italian food?  But once they are there, everything on the menu seems foreign to Paulie?  This is what I imagine some Italians must feel after coming to this pizza joint.

    It is a cute restaurant located in Little Italy, and there are usually lines outside.  It has a family run feel, and has been there since 1948.  There are plenty of selection of both pizzas and pastas.  We sampled both pizzas and pastas, and didn't feel like either were exceptional in any way.  The pizza crust tasted store bought, and the pasta was bland and creamy.  It wasn't what I was hoping for, but maybe that is because everyone has told me that the best pizza in Montreal is found here, and I guess I was a lot disappointed.  And the house-made tiramisu was so wrong, we couldn't even finish it.  

    It is a very family friendly spot, and the service felt uneven.  One other thing, you should BYOW, which again made me feel very very far away from Italy.

    Basic perfectly decent quick italian-ish food. Authentic? Nope. But good enough to do the trick. Seems to be a family joint. Lot of crying babies when I was there. Comment si dice "earplugs"?

    Some websites list this as the best pizza in Montreal. I love pizza, and today was my birthday so that's why we trekked all the way up to Little Italy for this pie. When we entered, there were only two other tables full, and the waiters were all standing around talking. We walked in, looked around, started wandering for a place to sit. The waiter then came up to us. I asked if it mattered where we sat. "Actually it does, you can sit here or here," was his gruff reply in a nearly empty restaurant. Ok, fine at this point I just thought that his rudeness was minor. But it became a pattern amongst all the servers. After the appetizer, they took our spoons away, quickly took our plates when we were finished, and did not ask us how the food was or if we needed anything else. I ordered the Margherita but it did not come with basil, and had the sauce on top. Ok, sauce on top does not make or break the pizza I just thought that was weird. And when I asked for basil, the waiters then loudly talked amongst themselves, "She wants basil?" "Basil." "Basil?" It was really rude. Then he brought me dried basil, a little bowl of it. It's a pizza margherita, fresh basil is pretty much the norm everywhere else I have been in my life. So when I made a face, and said "nevermind", another waiter came up and said, "Oh you want fresh basil? Well we have to take your pizza back for that." "Can't you just bring me some basil?" At this point I was worried that they would do something weird to the pizza. I've worked at restaurants. So he brought me five leaves of nice basil, unsliced. Which was fine. My partner ordered the cannellioni. The waiter corrected the way he ordered it, but not in a "fine no problem" way, in a "you dipshit" way. The cannellioni was nothing write home about. Good sauce, but without the spoons, hard to eat. The pizza was ok, the mozzarella was not fresh, it was the brick kind, and the crust was good but not amazing. When we went to pay they said cash only. Which is just ridiculous. Cash only for a full menu restaurant? This place was not worth the 30$ we spent. At all.
