My uncle lives in Montreal, and when I came to visit in 2009, I remember him taking me to Amelia's and having an amazing spinach and artichoke pizza. For years, we tried to go back, but some how it never worked out. Finally last year I went back to Montreal, and Amelia's was on DoorDash. I finally got to have this pizza again (Pizza Florentine, in the gourmet pizzas section of the menu). 13 years later. I thought for sure I would have romanticized the pizza in my mind and it couldn't live up to the hype. It was still amazing. Every bite was delightful! Can't wait to have it again, hopefully it doesn't take another 13 years. read more

Food: Great. Tasty pizza and generally good food. Service: Prompt and attentive, no complaints. Ambiance: *Cash only*, but quaint and cozy. Overall would highly recommend for the area and stopping in for some great food. read more

There are two things you need to know about Amelia's: they are closed Sunday Monday and it's cash only. Oh wait! 3! Bring your own wine! This is my favorite place in Montréal. And all I ever order is lasagna. It feels like coming home. Super cozy and warmly cramped. The tables are small, everyone is a local, we get the same nice server every time. I've been coming here literally for years and it's consistently wonderful. Do yourself a favor and add this place to your list while you're here! read more

Amelia's - a salad with carrots and lettuce - Pizza Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We stopped into Amelia's to grab our small cheese pizza for pick you up while visiting Montreal. We were recommended by our tour guide for a spot great pizza. It seemed to be quite a popular night so much that we didn't even get greeted for nearly 15 minutes for a simple pick up. Once we did, we also found out very quickly that the kitchen did not have our pizza ready let alone didn't even make our pizza even though we arrived 5 minutes after they told us it would be ready for pick up. Needless to say we were annoyed about that situation and not even an apology or explanation was provided for the mishap. Service is a huge part of the experience and I wish it was better. However, giving 3 stars because all in all the pizza was quite delicious. read more

I have to expand my review to yelp because of how unprofessional the management is here. I had an extremely negative experience here and instead of correcting the issue management decided to gaslight me while claiming I'm disrespectful for not allowing them to be hostile towards me. I'm appalled by the lack of decency at this establishment. I understand it's a family-run business but they should learn how to handle a customers negative experience in a professional manner. Instead they insinuated I "played the race card." How ridiculous, childish and really shows how low they are morally. I suspected the waitress of being racist because of how she acted around us and her lack of competency. They blamed it on being Friday and busy, but that was a lie because they skipped over our table intentionally multiple times to serve both tables beside us. The other table wasn't even ready and their people were not even all seated at the table. If your waitress is incompetent in waiting tables then she should not be working busy nights. This is not my problem. When we were seated at our table. She dropped a bottle of water with no glasses and proceeded to wait the other tables (which didn't even have everyone seated yet). She knew what she was doing and was purposely ignoring us and giving attitude. I do not come into establishments with attitude or ego, so I was really put off by her behaviour. For the record, I did not say hi and waited for her to open her mouth to greet us. She didn't say a word. So they lied when they said that she did. I don't have the energy or the audacity to make up lies for a business that I actually LIKE the food. I'm not delusional. When I say she didn't do something, she didn't. And when I say i suspected racial hostility, I did. I don't care if you have Africans working in your kitchen as they mentioned in their reply. You treated me, a customer poorly. Don't use your employees as a shield, it's pathetic. We left after we had enough and clearly it was a hostile environment. I don't know what would happen to the food when it would come out and I did not want to find out. I SUSPECTED racism as I said, but your reply was alarming to say the least. I won't be patronizing here at all and this is a warning for others. They are extremely ill-mannered and unprofessional. This is my honest review of this establishment and my experience. Do not try to diminish/downplay my experience to compensate for your lack of professionalism. read more

We visited Montreal for the weekend and were in this are and decided to try out Amelia's. We had a pepperoni pizza and it was so delicious. The salad was delicious as well. Loved that you could BYOD. Would definitely go back read more

**NOTE: CASH ONLY!!** Came here for the pizza which did not disappoint. It can be busy during the dinner rush so be mindful as the place isn't huge (you may feel a bit cramped in some tables). However the pizza itself was stellar! The 4 of us got a large Ruben pizza, and two 10" pizzas (Vegetarian and a gourmet artichoke pizza). The Ruben pizza was actually quite good (I've had some pretty mediocre ruben pizzas unfortunately) with a nice salty flavor. It also came with a side of Russian dressing and mustard to help enhance the flavor. Prepare your palate for a sodium overload though if this is the only thing you're eating!! The vegetarian pizza was also delicious and helped offset the salt from the Ruben and had a wide assortment of vegetables on it. My friends like the artichoke pizza (I was beyond stuffed at this point so I didn't partake) and they also really enjoyed it be told me that the sauce was while delicious, incredibly rich (we had to take half of it home). The crust was light and buttery and was definitely good enough to eat on it's own! read more

Adorable family/neighbourhood restaurant. It's super cosy and inviting. You descend these little stairs and you're welcomed by the lovely smell of pasta and pizza. Looking at their menu, I love that they offer you the choice of spinach vs white pasta. It's such a change because you usually never get to choose. I ordered the spinach pasta with meat sauce and my friend ordered the lasagna. We shared both and it was so delicious! Their lasagna is so cheesy, warm, comforting, and filling. Their spaghetti tastes fresh and the meat sauce is so well made. I don't like that they are cash only but at least the ATM fees are just 1.95$. A great place for a date, a friend lunch/dinner, a family meal, or a solo adventure! read more

We came down to Amelia's after multiple locals recommended it to us! I looked it up on Yelp, and decided on the list of things I wanted to try! Read here that it's BYOB and that sealed the deal. Ordered the French Onion Soup & a Small White 5 Cheese Pizza to share with the husband. Quality of ingredients was excellent!! We are in love with cheese, and the amount and type of cheese in the Soup & on the Pizza was a literal dream come true! The portions are huge, so these two items were more then enough for us and we ended up taking a few slices home! The ambiance and service were a 10/10. Would definitely recommend this spot to everyone. Definitely worth making the effort to this part of the town for dinner! P.S. It's Cash Only. read more

I have to give this place 1 star because we never received our pizza order. They asked us to order through UberEats which we did, waited over an hour for our pizza and then 1 minute from delivery it was cancelled. The restaurant needs to pick a better deliver option. read more

What the heck happened to my Amelia's?!?!? I ordered the same thing I've ordered for the past 20 years (no joke...I was a fan when they were Amelio's) and my vegetarian pizza was...meh. It used to be a spectacular concoction of wondrous elements that schmecked and were cooked to perfection (eggplant, zucchini, green peppers and that magic tomato sauce). Tonight's fare contained the same old same old as any vegetarian pizza (peppers and mushrooms). Amelia's used to be my reward for a tough week; I live in Verdun and came all the way out to the McGill ghetto for it. I'm not too proud to BEG you to bring back your original recipe! read more

You can't go wrong with Amelia's. It's a great little pizza place in the McGill ghetto and their pizza is amazing! They deliver or you can order take out. Last time I was there, I ordered the onion soup, like always, and it's really good and cheesy, as it's supposed to be. I've had their lasagna in the past, which was very tasty and, well, you can't go there and not order a pizza. It's a good place for date night, to hang with friends or to go out with the family. It's really cute and tastefully renovated inside. Did I mention it's BYOB? Like, does it get better than that? Just make sure to bring cash; they do not accept cards. read more

5 slices on 5! They deserve around of applause due to having the best pizza in Montreal! -quality Ingredients -unique If you're a pizza fan and are fed up with that cardboard crust and cheap cheese then give them a ring! The white pizza (Blanca) is out of this world (my personal fav) The amount of cheese they put on this lovely pie is super and they mix it with cheese of course, I can see why it's the most popular. The Reuben is so unique I've yet to have anything like this i was craving smoked meat and boy did they deliver plus they give to types of sauces mustard and a sweet mayo which is hard to beat. You will be extremely full but you will be overly satisfied. read more

Been there the first time yesterday. A former colleague recommended the pizzas of this place, and he said he especially likes the vegetarian pizza. I went with two other friends and we ordered all-dressed large (16 inch). It was soooooo good and also the price is rather fair (30.75 dollars for our order note that they only take cash!) *haha yesterday when we grabbed our order and was heading back, it suddenly started raining heavily we struggled hard to protect our precious pizza against the rain Thankfully the pizza was still pretty much intact when we got home (though I did feel it might have lost some of the crispy texture due to the moist...) Very good over all! read more

Clearly I had to eat here! I mean who wouldn't want to try a place with their name involved?! Amelia's is a busy little family style owned restaurant in Montreal that is a BYOB policy! It's tucked in more on a side street than a usual busy street. We walked in on a Thursday night and they were packed, luckily we were able to get one last table to accommodate the 5 of us. This cheese ravioli dish was everything! This dish was made to perfection, my friend and I shared the dish and honestly I wish I got my own because it was just soo good! The pizza on the other hand didn't appeal to me as much, I've definitely had better bbq chicken pizza. The breading was personally a little too dry for me. But overall, cute little restaurant where id definitely recommend the cheese ravioli! read more

Pleasantly impressed by this Italian restaurant. I went here a while back with my husband and some friends. Our waiter was very accommodating and i could feel that genuinely wanted to serve us well and make sure we have a good time. I ordered the lasagne, and was left astounded by how perfect it was. There was flavor, texture and a whole lot of cheese (yay!) They also served us a little simple salad before our main course which I happened to try (I normally skip salads when I have a heavy main course coming). I enjoyed every bit of it and infact recreate the same at home often. I'm already excited to go there again and I would be lying if I say I didn't already decide what I want the next time I visit, the same night I dined here. Kudos to this place and the staff! Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. read more

So I'm long time Amelias fan . There are many tourists in this area and I often tell people looking for restaurants on the street I will stop and suggest they go to Amelias. I'm definitely sad I have to write this bad review. But they need to do better so I'm Doin it ;). To my dismay the last two times I was there I was rrushed and told my server was leaving . PoLitely I might add but I it's the second time we were pushed out . The visit before it was a very busy night and the inexperienced waiter kept asking if we were done and obviously wanted us out for the next table . A bit more professionalism is needed here . Another strange thing is when we walked in last night the cook from behind the kitchen glared At us with no smile in the eyes . I said hello because he was looking right at me and he continued to glare no words ( he's obviously not the greeter then lol ) Then we stood there while the staff was doing other things and we had to say hello first . Kind of uninviting right from the start . Waitress was friendly but no suggestions ,no have u been here before , very rushed . So the food . Wow I feel incredibly sad to write This because the lasagna here is very great ! Don't ever order regular pasta at Amelias . I had rose Fusillli , and French onion soup . M'y French onion was extremely salty but good as French ooinion soup goes . The bread we were served was burnt a lot very hard . Fusilli was so watery and bland . Had no cream I had to put a lot salt because there was clearly none at all in my dish . It was pretty bad .I waited for this all week and I could have made myself better pasta . Then we were told waitress wasdone her sshift and she gave us thE bill . I think you need to step up your game Amelias. Don't loook so freakedout that you are busy .it shows . If u hire students , train them on the basics of hospitality . Salt and parm goes in rose sauce to finish .mr glare from the kitchen .. Overrated , I'm disappointed and not going back unfortunately. read more

The only reason I don't give Amelia's five stars is because of the main dish I ordered :( I got the cheese Ravioli with tomato sauce. I was so excited because I love ravioli, but this dish left me hungry for a lot more flavor. It was so disappointing to eat this last because everything I received beforehand was so yummy! I also ordered the French onion soup as a side (about $6.75)-- Wow wow WOW!! Amazing. You might not even need a main dish after this soup. Then, I had no idea but when you order a pasta dish (or probably any dish) you also get fresh hot bread with a side salad! The soup, bread and salad were my favorite parts. ALSOOOOO, this is a BYOW restaurant, so do that. It makes the experience even more fun. Overall though, we were seated quickly and our waitress was very attentive to our needs. I was so happy we found this little Italian restaurant (-: read more

Been eating pizza from here for almost 20 years. The white pizza is my favorite and is awesome! Stopped by for a small vegetarian the other day, cheese is the best, dough is outstanding. People are nice. Everything you could ask for read more

We traveled in from out of town and were looking for a quick pizza spot with good ratings. We noticed Amelia's and figured we would give it a shot. Wow - what can I say?! Awesome restaurant with fantastic servers and great food! Ordered large pepperoni pizza with garlic bread for family of 4. Delicious. Our waiter was so friendly, prompt, courteous, and patient with us. We have a family member with autism and everyone was so welcoming, understanding, and engaging. Such a great, pleasant dining experience! We discovered it was cash only and our waiter was very accommodating when we started to pay with a card but accepted our USD ( we didn't any CAD on hand yet). Such a great place! You have to try this place if looking for a good pizza stop in Montreal downtown. read more

Good spot if you like American style (thick) pizza. Had the penne arrabbiata which was very average (and full of olives, which is not typical) but the half sausage and half mushrooms pizza was very good. Had the cheesy garlic bread as well as a starter, which was good but the cheese wasn't broiled enough. The tiramisu for dessert was yummy. Also very convenient that this place is BYOB. Ca$h only. For my full review and more photos, check out my blog: Turquoise Blog (link in bio!) read more

Very cozy little operation. There are nine small tables, always see a line in busy hours. I had French onion soup and all dressed medium pizza. I noticed others having five cheese. I think it's their specialty. My friend knowing my taste told me it is too heavy for both of us. So I avoided it and kept wondering is it good? I like their bread, perfectly toasted. The French onion soup was one of the best. The pizza had too much sauce inside so that the dough was too wet to my taste. They offer complimentary salad. Yummy. This place is BYOW. Very good. read more

This place is the epitome of family-run. The second you walk in, you feel like you're walking into a Nona's dining room, it's inviting, comfortable, and cramped. We ordered two pizzas (artichoke and italian sausage) and the meat lasagna. The artichoke pizza was creamy, unlike any pizza I'd ever had, fantastic! the Italian sausage was spicy, with a very sweet tomato sauce - possibly sweetened with sugar. the lasagna had almost no beef in it, despite it being a "meat lasagna". Overall, great little spot, but could have been better. The artichoke pizza is a must have, everything else is standard fare. read more

Don't live in the area but visit a couple times a year and wanted something other than a salad. Saw Amelia's had almost 5 stars on a delivery app that rhymes with Floormash. Did my Yelp research and ordered a cheese with extra sauce. And it was really bloody good. The sauce is the thing. Tangy, zesty, super flavorful and just lifts the pie up from decent to great. Cheese and crust both solid. Not sure what else there is to say - great job. read more

Perfect onion soup and pizzas! It was very tasty and the restaurant is cozy. Would go there again :)

I mean, seriously THE best little neighborhood spot! The food is absolutely amazing and the service is just as great. Couldn't have been nicer. The chef even gave our little one a bag of treats at the end - so let's just say everyone was happy read more

I visited Amelia's in late July with my husband and his family. We ordered two large pizzas for our group; the vegetarian and the five cheese. The service was timely (we were after all their only customers at the time) and our waiter was friendly and attentive. The pizzas however were just OKAY. It's not that they weren't good, but rather Amelia's slightly greasy pizzas stand at the border between fast food and proper restaurant food. They're good, but as I chewed through the fat, the fluffy crust and the cheese, I couldn't help but feel the same way as when I order a pizza from Pizza Pizza; doubtful of my dietary choices, and wondering if I might have gotten a better deal in terms of quality for the price elsewhere (the answer is "yes", especially if you are hungry for real Italian pizza). Amelia's serves American pizza. That's alright, so long you don't expect high quality food. It's good, but not great. I wouldn't backpedal if I was invited for dinner, but I will avoid going back again by myself. read more

One of my favourite comfort food spots! And it's BYOB - bonus!! They also do a delicious complimentary salad to start, which I am usually very excited about. I have tried their lasagna, arrabiata ravioli and baked eggplant. Really like everything but baked eggplant has won my heart! I always recommend this place to my out of town friends when they visit Montreal. Very reasonably priced menu. The service is great, never been disappointed. It gives a very homely and cozy vibe. The only drawback is that they don't accept any other payment tenders except CASH. So if you're like me who doesn't carry cash, make sure you do. They do have an ATM there. read more

7.8/10 Excellent pizza, a little bit on the thicker side of crust. Took the artichoke pizza,it was delicious and creamy. They only had one size for those specialty pizzas,it was 10 inch,and i though it was going to be small,but to my surprise it was enough food. There was lots of cheese on it and it wasn't overly salted. It came with a green salad,which helped on the digestion.simple and not overly sauced. We also took fettuccine alfredo,i found that plate just average,it was a bit small. Ordered a side of meat balls,was pretty good,the sauce was a tad bit sour for my liking. Byob which is a great add on,and lastly service was excelle t. Would recommend going to this place if u want pizza dt!! read more

I came here a couple weeks ago and it was seriously the best meal I've had in 2018 so far! I've had my eye on Amelia's for a few months now and finally dropped in for a dinner date on a Friday night. We arrived around 7 and waited around 15 minutes to be seated. Once seated, we were warmly greeted by our waitress and were given an ice bucket for our wine (BYOB!). I knew beforehand that I wanted the famous white cheese pizza and hubby created some concoction of his own. Within minutes, we were given the side salads which were delicious and a welcome balance to the carb/fat overload that was to come. Despite the restaurant being jam packed, service was quick and we got our pizzas in no time. Honestly, I have never tasted a pizza SO amazing in my life (well maybe except for the stuffed pizza in Chicago..) - the crust was buttery and flakey and just soooooo good you wanted to die and live inside it. The cheese mix was phenomenal... and by some stroke of genius, they managed to make this pizza not so heavy that you felt gross afterwards. So so so soooo good! 20 stars overall! Amazing food, ambiance and prices! Will 1000% be back and if you haven't been yet, I'm not sure what you're waiting for! Go! Now!! And bring me a slice back with you :D read more

Amelia's pizza. A classic Montreal BYOB Italian restaurant in the heart of the McGill ghetto - and somehow I hadn't tried it until recently! DROOL! Their food is literally dripping in ooey-gooey cheese goodness. We went for #Pizzafestmtl, and after reading that this place always has a line-up, we were surprised that the restaurant was relatively empty at around 7pm on a Thursday evening. After maybe 15 minutes though, it started to get crowded so I think we just got lucky with the timing. The service was efficient and our water was always topped off. They serve warm bread (just one bread for 2 people though?! That was weird...), and a carrot, cabbage and lettuce salad with Italian dressing before your food arrives. We ordered the small white pizza (5 cheeses) and the baked vegetarian lasagna. Their food does not disappoint. The pizza and lasagna are very decadent and filling (we took 1/3 of the food home with us). I loved the flavour and texture of their dough, and the fact that the sauce used in the lasagna isn't your average tomato sauce. They used eggplants to liven up the sauce and it was a delicious success. Everything is made to order and is bursting with flavour. The funniest part was the fact that they have parmesan shakers on each table, as if anyone's going to need extra cheese!! Let's just say we went on a really long walk back home in an effort to burn some of the caloric goodness we had just inhaled. Please note that it's cash only but I was prepared thanks to all the Yelp reviews. It cost around $40 for 2 people. I will for sure be going back for a BYOB dinner the next time I'm craving comforting Italian deliciousness. read more

Amelia's is my all-time favorite pizza when I am in town in Montreal! The white-cheese pizza is worth every heavenly bite you can possibly fit into your stomach!

I am EXTREMELY surprised this place hasn't more reviews. It's probably one of Montreal's best Pizza spot! Located in the Mile-End, this place will satisfy your taste buds. The price/quality ratio is quite decent and everything on the menu is AMAZING. If you can, have a Pizza and Pasta and share or if your alone, it's fine just take the rest to go and it tastes even better the next day ;) Oh and for the complicated ones like me, no worries you can also make your own Pizza :) Pro's: - Bring your own wine - They serve you a nice house salad with your order (Making you feel less guilty for the delicious cheesyness you will end up having) - The small pizza could easily be shared for 2 Con's: - Cash only - Kind of small, if your claustrophobic... but still very cosy setting. - Closed on Sunday's read more

We were looking for Italian-style pizza - thin, doughy crust, a sweet, ripe tomato sauce, plenty of fresh bufala mozzarella - and sadly, this was not it. Don't get me wrong - it's good pizza, but more Canadian style: thick, almost shortcrust pastry crust, with heavy, cheddary cheese on top of the toppings, and lots of sweetness. I can't say it was my style, though. If you like thick pizza, perhaps it's for you! We did get a nice, generous side-salad as part of the meal cost though - that was very nice. I do feel like this place (considering that it's in, or near, the McGill ghetto) is more for students! And for students, it's very good. read more

The pizza's were good but very overpriced and the service was very poor. We called for takeout and were told it would be ready in 25 minutes.

My boyfriend, best friend and I have been staying nearby on vacation, and when hunger struck we thought we'd take the opportunity to get some non-NY pizza. You know, in the name of science. Well while at Amelia's the smells wafting around us inspired an order of vegetarian lasagna in addition to a medium mushroom pizza. Again, for science. Though we remain loyal to the greasy, ubiquitous goodness of NYC pizza, we've got to give it to Amelia's for creating a cozy environment with friendly service and very tasty food. We'll be using this data for future studies. read more
