My travel companion and I stayed in Montreal for seven days. We ate at Piazzetta on our first night there, loved it, and then spent the next five nights eating at places that weren't as good. Needless to say, we came back to Piazzetta on the seventh night! The prices are great, especially if you just split a 13" pizza between two people. You can get it made half and half so that was the best way for us to do it and still get two different tastes! The three cheeze pizza was my favorite, and my friend liked the Sicilian (I'm not a fan of spicy so that was what was great about having half and half). The decor is also very nice and pastel/colored, feeling upscale but also fun and bright. The servers were very friendly and helpful. They even warm your plates on a little contraption that they bring over and attach to your table. Once your pizza arrives, they put the plates in front of you and then put the pizza on the warming plate, so that it stays hot the whole time you're eating it! We loved everything about this place. Definitely recommend! read more

La Piazzetta is a very nice, quaint Italian restaurant in outer east downtown Montreal. The service was very good, and our orders came out within 10 minutes. Cheese & Basil Pizza - 4/5 This was a good personal size pizza. The crust was thin and crispy. The pizza sauce was a Pomodoro sauce, with mozzarella and fresh basil. A very nice simple delicious pizza. Italian Raclette - 4/5 This Italian roll was very good. It comes with Dijonnaise sauce, Swiss cheese, semi-dried tomatoes, red onion, grilled smoked prosciutto, mild salami, white wine onions, La Religieuse raclette cheese (Fromagerie du Presbytère) and chives, served with Dijonnaise sauce. This is a very good Italian roll to feast on. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at La Piazzetta. It's worth given this restaurant a try if you're in the area. read more

Last time I had some fettuccine and it was really creamy and delicious. I've had their pizzas before and they are thin and crispy, the way I like them. The menu is pretty large with lots of choices of pasta, pizza, salads, etc. Since its opening in March 1996, the Piazzetta Sainte-Catherine has been known as a meeting point for cultural outings in nearby theaters or festive in the effervescence downtown or in the Gay Village. Decorated with a terrace, the Piazzetta Sainte-Catherine is a really nice place to have a nice casual meal. read more

Very nice place in the middle of the Village. The ambiance was nice. It was about 25% full but the service was a bit spotty - waitress was a bit breathless trying to handle it. We had an apple and Brie salad which was really the highlight of the meal. Dressing was delicious and it was crisp, fresh, and a large serving. The pizza is on a delicious very thin crust but should have been in the oven a few minutes more to get some singe to it. The sauce and toppings were good, though they did err and forget to take the green pepper off of it. It was served with black olives - the canned kind - but could have been so much better with Kalamata olives. The bottle of wine was good - about half the selections on the menu aren't currently in stock though. Our bill with tip was around $140 CA which seemed high for what it was. It was good - it wasn't great. read more

Really bad "Italian" food. The bolognese was pathetic -- I have no idea where the meat was. The sauce was just plopped on top of the noodles, which is a telltale sign of fake Italian. My friends and I were severely disappointed. Olive Garden or less level. read more

Not as good as the one in Outremont. Service was amazing though, they went above and beyond and were so nice to us. Went to dinner after doing an escape room and we were hungrrryyyy. got seated right away but we were told the food was going to take longer than usual to come out because a show had just ended and so there were lots of orders. They do have a smaller menu with reduced choices when the restaurant gets busy and so the food comes out faster but we wanted things off the original menu which would take longer. It was pretty busy and very loud, we had to scream to be heard in the beginning but it was fine after the rush was gone. Ended up waiting maybe 35 minutes for the food but we got our drinks and entrees pretty fast. I got the spaghetti Bolognese with melted cheese on top. It was just ok, the pasta was a bit overcooked. We got a bruschetta to share as an entree and I loved it though. I also got a small ceasar salad as part of my table d'hôte and it was ok. As for desert we shared a creme brule, a tarte a tin, and a hazelnut cake. All were ok too. I like this chain and the service really was excellent so I would go back but this particular visit wasn't wow to me. read more

We enjoyed our impromptu visit to La Piazzetta. The restaurant is located in a busy area, but they are very well equipped to take care of such volume. The staff is very friendly and professional. We were seated quickly, and they provided us just the right amount of time to review the menu and took our order precisely. Our pizzas came out within a reasonable amount of time and were cooked to perfection. I ordered thin crust, but they do have other pizza base options you can choose from . Anyways, I don't eat cheese so I had a cheese-less pizza lol and my partner had it made with cheese. We both were very pleased with the pizzas. The quality of the dough, sauce and pepperoni were quite tasty. We will visit here again and hope to before we head back home. If you're around town, give them a shot; the food was fresh and delicious. Thank you La Piazzetta for a great experience. read more

Stopped here before the pride parade and the service was so kind and fast. They let me know they do offer gluten free pizza options and take the precautions seriously. I unfortunately didn't have time for pizza but I had a delicious Cesar salad with grilled chicken! read more

A week later im still regretting eating here so much I decided to write about it. The food was awful and overpriced.

A hoppin' pizzeria right in the centre of Le Village. Everything was so good...it was so good my friends and I visited twice in just a couple short days! I had the pepperoni personal pizza the first time and the seafood pie the second time. I'd ordered a Caesar salad with that as well...it was also tasty. read more

I like this place and tried it twice. I had a fantastic waiter the first time who made a great dry martini! I liked the pizza because the crust was perfect and they have many options for toppings. My one complaint would be hot peppers on the side when it's supposed to be ON the pizza... don't list it on the menu like that, then bring them on the side. It means I don't get that cooked in flavor they provide. I also tried one of their rolls! The Mexican I believe and it was pretty tasty! It is a share plate or a meal for one person. That day I ordered those and a pizza and the waiter tried to tell me it's to much food. I said "it's ok, I plan on taking the pizza home"... which I did. But when the food arrived, it was so much and people were laughing. I just said "this is how Americans eat" and we all laughed even harder... I also tried some wine, very nice... and a desert. The molten chocolate cake was very nice! I appreciated that they spoke English here and had an English menu! read more

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. read more

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! read more

I ended up at Piazzetta after the Metro was delayed for an hour due to a medical emergency at the Pie IX station. Opting to go out for supper in the Village instead of making it at home late I ordered a 10" Pepperoni pizza, glass of wine and a moelleux (chocolate molten cake) with regular coffee for desert. For starters the restaurant was open and airy with a nice view of Ste Catherine street in the Village. Inside it was modern but nothing fancy or visually different from other similar places. Service was very good and with a smile.. no complaints. Turns out I missed the wine glass size and ended up with a larger glass and more costly than I thought I had ordered., my error but how can I complain lol. The pizza came almost immediately suggesting it was preprepared or unfrozen and reheated.. the cheese wasn't fully melted and it wasn't piping hot. It was a very thin crust pizza and when cut in strips is best ate rolled over to give it some meat to the bite. Overall I wasn't overly dissatisfied but it wasn't anything to go tell friends about either.. it tasted good but I've had much better. The coffee came next and I took my time drinking it as I had extra time before the metro was suppose to resume service.. I managed to slowly drink it all and still no desert... so, I wasn't quite getting how the desert takes three times longer to make than the main course so being anxious to leave I cancelled it and paid up my tab and left. Weird though, the pizza should have been where they put their time and at no point should I be finishing off my coffee before they can get the desert to me.. they messed that up so overall it was just ok. I'm sure on another occasion I'd probably have no issues and be fine with it, but there were some hiccups this time and overall it was somewhat ordinary for the $34 detour I had due to the STM. read more

The food was good but not amazing. I got the pasta while my friends got the pizza. It was nothing spectacular but the atmosphere is very nice. The service was a bit slow but overall very friendly. Was a bit surprised that they don't give bread at the beginning. Everyone who got pizza though said it was really good so if you are going to order food I would recommend getting a pizza. read more

My partner and I both enjoyed pepperoni pizzas (his was cheeseless, mine was not). The quality of the thin crust was excellent, and they have other options for crust as well if you want healthier or thicker. We definitely plan on returning because the service was great with a smiling staff! read more

horrible pizza and over priced went for pizza week and we ordered the special pizza with duck and goat cheeze.the crust was bland and overcooked.ingredients were too little. duck didnt add anything special too it. second pizza buffalo cheeze pizza.so simple to make and they added dill and coriander which was too empowering for a pizza. pizzas were 19 $ each before tax and tip service was extremely slow on a monday evening and not very professional. would never go back and don't recommend it read more

Do not order a pizza from there. 25$ for the smallest, thinest pizza ever, does not even taste that good.

Italian in Montreal? Oui! Ordered Fettucine Carbonara with a Chardonnay Papillon. Prompt service, great food, perfect paired wine. read more

There are no chances to miss that place. Open terrace and most delicious fettuccine pesto I've tried. Seafood pizza was also really good

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Held Hostage! So the food ordered did not arrive as we had requested, the service was so painfully slow we actually felt more sorry for the customers next to us than ourselves, and then when I was purposely to leave not tip for such a bad experience, the server told me that my 10% was not enough and that j had to leave at minimum 15%!!!! I am so annoyed at this location I am going back to see the manage tomorrow. Ridiculous! If I could post a negative star I would ! People - if service is bad - refuse to tip! Do not reward bad behavior! read more

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. read more

It was ok. We both ordered personal pizzas that I was excited about because it was super thin just the way I like it but the suace made it quite mushy.....so there was that. It may have been great otherwise. The Rosè Sangria was nice.....refreshing. We were able to get a seat on the terrace very quickly and the service was great! read more

Very nice pizza restaurant. I like their pizzas very much. A little pricy but the waiters are nice.

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 Montreal compared to the USA, I have to admit. read more

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. read more

Incredible pizza- never had fresh Dill on a pizza before and WOW! Sangria was good, lots to look at on the patio if you like to people watch. Menu has a lot of refreshingly different options for a pizza place. The server was nice however wasn't really consistent on his service. Half of the group I went with did not speak French so we opted for English to make it easier for them and he kind of turned his nose down at the fact we spoke English- not cool! Other than that, the place is nice, and there is a lot of staff to keep things running smoothly. read more

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,Cafe filtre hot and strong. Thank you Philip ! read more

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. read more

Food was delicious, service was prompt & friendly with a very cosy atmosphere. The escargot appetiser was especially good. Will definitely visit again next time I'm in Montreal read more

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

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. read more

The food was amazing. I ordered an endive salad with apples pecans and prosciutto, i don't know what the dressing was but it was very good. My partner ordered a salmon wrap of sorts, it was also very good, the wrap bread was very fresh and there was some kind of sauce in it that was good too. It came with a green relish and sour cream. The service however was bad. It was not that busy, no one was inside, and the patio was 80% full yet it still took over 1h for our food to arrive. The big table of 8 people next to us got their food before us even though they got there 10-15minutes after us. The waiter did not come by to ask us if we wanted drinks (we had started with water) we had to flag him down to ask for drinks and he didn't come around to let us know that our food was on it's way, which would have been nice considering we had been waiting 1h+. The prices are reasonable for how good the food is, but the service was bad. The patio we sat on was nice because we were right on St-Catherine street and got to watch the people walking by. Bottom line: I would recommend this if you have 2 hours to spend and want good food, otherwise I'd say to go somewhere else. 2.5 star service/5 star food. read more

The "Siciliano" pizza was absolutely delicious. The waiter was very friendly & helpful in recommending a wine pairing. Overall great experience. Definitely going back read more

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 cafe. 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. read more
