    Persian tea
    Tiffany D.

    Very nice staff, this is a really cute place. I had the roast beef pizza, persian tea and persian nachos. I really liked the pizza, it reminded me of a roast beef sandwich. There are are call buttons on each table so you don't have to worry about waiting for your server to notice you. It sits on a busy street with a nice view for people watching.

    Mortadella sandwich
    Sahar V.

    The sandwiches and Persian pizza definitely remind me of Iran! The mortadella sandwich was so tasty! It had pistachios in it and the sauce they add is super good. The Persian pizza is incredible. Tastes just like pizza in Iran. Lots of toppings and a nice crust. I've ordered to-go from here a few times and 9 times out of 10 it's been correct. Overall great Persian food spot to hit up!

    Spicy bomb pizza

    Amazing food - try the spicy bomb pizza it was so good and thin and we tried it with the special sauce (garlicky) and ketchup and it made it even better! The service was really friendly and the ambiance is casual but cute!

    *Currently take-out only but have implemented great safety measure for take-out* At present, they have set up tables at their front door containing the menu, where you just ring the number to order. Love grabbing sandwiches or pizzas from here when I'm in the area. They have a large selection to choose from of unique Persian style sandwiches. I have tried a couple but my favourite has to be their Roast Beef (lots of fresh parsley yum) and their Pizza Sandwich - full of flavour and fresh ingredients. The meat is Halal and service is great. Items are wrapped very well so you can just grab and go. A must to try!

    Restaurant looked completely different from outside. When we walked in we felt we were walking into somebody's home but in a good way. There was a family on the dining table who were enjoying the meal. We were welcome by two very nice people and they seated us. Decor looked fancy but the prices are decent. Food is delicious. Here are 5 reason why we will Absolutely go back when we visit again. 1. We ordered sandwiches and they were delicious. Parsley added great taste to the sandwiches. Bread was perfect for this type of sandwich. 2. We were not too hungry so we ordered one large sandwich which was good enough for two people. We ordered Tea and tea was as delicious. 3. Service was wonderful. They were super nice and accommodating. 4. All meats are halal 5. Their pizzas looked amazing on the menu and in pictures. We really wanted to go back to try it this trip but Montreal offered too many good restaurants and we didn't have a chance to go back. We will be definitely going back to try their pizza next time.

    With all the positive reviews, I honestly expected more from this restaurant. We came here only to try their famous Persian style pizza, but surprisingly, they were out of pizza dough! This was just so unacceptable! We had a few choices from the menu. Their menu was completely different from the one they have on their website. The prices and the number of meals were different. We tried the shredded-beef special sandwich and the pizza sandwich. I loved them both. The shredded-beef sandwich had an exceptional taste. I only ordered the pizza sandwich just to get the taste of their pizzas, which was amazing! P.S: Don't count on the 10% student discount cause they won't give you any!

    Vegetarian 10" vegetarian pizza

    You guys. I have the most endearing story to tell you about Chez Hailar. But just so you know, Chez Hailar is an Iranian restaurant that specializes in halal pizzas and subs with their own "special sauce". I didn't know this but Iranians seem to have their own spin on pizza (they add potato chip sticks and a special sauce on top) and it works! So here's my story: we visited Chez Hailar during #PizzaFest Mtl since I had previously tried it for delivery and loved it. While the food was delicious, the service was very slow. When I think of fast food, I don't think of sitting for 2 hours in a restaurant! It took 25 minutes before we received water. That's unacceptable! It also took a while longer before we received our drinks and pizzas - good thing it was worth the wait! The roast beef pizza is really unique and the vegetarian pizza is full of veggies. That Chez Hailar sauce though - yum. I could down that whole bottle. After another long wait and a failed attempt at getting a waiter's attention, I had to get up and ask for my bill. While that was annoying, the food is stellar. Chez Hailar felt so bad about my negative experience with the service that they sent an employee to apologize to my apartment in person. AND he brought me a freshly baked roast beef pizza. On the inside of the box, they wrote: "Please accept our sincere apologies. We would love to serve you @ChezHailar again." Maybe our last visit was a fluke and we were just unlucky with where we were sitting and how busy the restaurant got. Or maybe as they explained, it's normal as per Iranian customs to not want your customers to feel rushed. Regardless, I'm happy that management took my comments seriously and wanted to rectify the situation. It's rare that a restaurant would go out of their way to apologize face-to-face and send over a piping hot pizza! It's also heart-warming to see how important this family business is to them and I want to support that. Order in and enjoy their perfectly toasted subs and crispy, delicious and halal pizzas. I appreciate that while there's plenty of amazing halal meats available for the subs and pizzas, there's also a lot of vegetarian options. I'm really glad that I gave Chez Hailar a chance and I think you should too!

    The place looks cool

    For muslims: its all halal! Enjoy! We highly recommend Hailar special pizza (Persian-style pizza) and shredded-beef Hailar special sandwich. Really delicious!

    Revisiting No900 six months after my last trip to Montreal and the staff that I'd gotten to…read morerecognize and know by name were not present, and that was slightly sad. However, the staff I encountered this time were just as efficient, energetic, and competent. The pizza, which I chose to build this time, was excellent as always. One word of caution that if you use their online ordering and are therefore routed to Toast or some other order service: I could swear that I was shown that the order would be started immediately and ready in 25-35 minutes. When I arrived at No900 about 25 minutes later I was told that the order had been configured to be ready at a certain time, and that time was about 25 minutes in the future from the time I arrived. I was shown the order info and can't deny the fact...but that isn't what I thought I ordered, so pay close attention to what is shown when ordering online so you get what you want.

Wish they would have told us it was going to be last call before we tried to order one more drink. The server told us that the bar closed ten minutes ago, and was very apologetic. So we ordered another pizza to go. We also had our last meal there. It was a little busy and they were short-staffed so they did not come around much and it took a long time to get our food that time. But it was worth it. Pizza is very good. So we're the meatballs.

    Montreal now has world class pizza! After many years of coming here and being forced to eat…read morepoutine, smoked meat, great steaks, and Canadian interpretations on various cuisines ... I now have a pizza option that rivals the best of NY, New Haven, and all the rest! Pizza Bouquet is labeled as a hybrid of other styles (NY and New Haven) and they are spot on ... more leaning to the NY version. This is exceptional pizza created by an energetic and passionate staff. I have only been there once, but in that short visit it was obvious that the pizza reflects the people that work there ... creative, fun, unique, and welcoming. They sell several great pies and actually offer both slices and whole pies. I ordered a pepperoni and hot pepper pie but as I sat there I had to get a slice of their upside down pie. While they were both outstanding, I have to say, what I cannot stop thinking about was that upside down slice. That was freaking magical. I would eat it there through because of the complexity and nuances of the actual pizza. Do not let this one sit ... trust me. Overall, this is a destination pizza in my book ,,, welcome to the world of pizza relevance Pizza Bouquet ... you guys do it right. Special shout out to the lovely ladies that danced through the entire preparation of my pie. Loved everything about this place!

    New Montreal style pizza…read more Considering I've not heard of or tried "old Montreal style pizza"; just sayin'. The crust, similar to the NYC pie. Thin, gently crisp, some chew and char. Easily foldable. Follow it up with just the right amount of quality ingredients are brought together in just the right proportions with quirky flair. Upside down pizza (cheese first, sauce on top) or stranger still, a double carb potato pizza. Speaking of, the potato pie is so good. All the ingredients from a potato mille feuille with a hit of fresh rosemary and grana padano atop the well made crust. Rich, creamy, nuff said. Equally good the mushroom with its "mushroom cream" (think a thin duxelles) base, rosemary to season and meaty creminis and motz to round it all out. Finally the sopressatta. I mean, come on, who doesn't love a cheese pie made even more complex with goat cheese, honey and grana padano? Sold by the slice or whole 18 inch pie. Inexpensive. Is it better than the NYC pie? No. But it's definitely not as boring either.

I had researched it beforehand, and with all the excellent reviews and its prime location, I booked a table for 8. Let me tell you, it is one of THE best restaurants we've dined at here in Montreal. Location: It is nestled on the heart of Old Montreal- one of the prettiest parts of the city. Parking spots are found on the street- but be careful as this touristy part is notorious for giving out tickets. The best is to park in the science center garage close by - it's a bit pricy for $35 to park but you will not lose patience scavenging for a spot! The walk is also nice too. The service: We immediately were greeted by a hostess and seated at our table. We had a friendly waiter who provided great suggestions and pairings. He made sure to check on us through our dinner which we really appreciated. Food: Now the best part... the food was delicious!! We had a few appetizers to start: crispy calamari, arancini and a Caesar salad. They pride on their pizza being "authentic" Italian and after taking one bite, you can say yes it is! The crust is cooked to perfection, and they have many selection- we chose a classic margarita for the kids - and salame for the adults. Both were gobbled up quickly! Finally, we had said it was for a birthday celebration. And they brought out two beautiful dessert pizzas!!! I've NEVER tried anything like that before. They were absolutely delicious. Not only did we get one, but TWO which was more then enough for each member in our group to have one (and in my kids case, two or three haha). It was a major highlight to the night! So I definitely recommend coming here to celebrate special occasions as it will leave a memorable mark for you and each guest. I will definitely be back again soon!!!
