When the nightlife winds down and hunger hits, Montreal doesn't disappoint. Beyond the regular midnight-closing joints, this city thrives with spots serving up tastes until the early morning, and some even round the clock. We’re talking about just as many cheesy and greasy diners as there are refined spots to enjoy your meal with a glass of wine. Pizza and paninis, Japanese ramen, shawarma, fancy hot dogs, you name it there’s a surprisingly large number of great things to pick from late at night in Montreal, but these are the best of them.
Montreal's most popular pizzerias over the past decade have taken a page from the world's top pizza cities. You’ve got places like Adamo and Pizza Toni doing New York-style pies, the airy crust and crispy-cheesy edges of Detroit-style squares at Hang Time and Brigade, Roman al taglio squares at San Gennaro or Segreta, classic Neapolitan-style pizza from new names like Magpie, Elena, Gema, and the local giant Pizzéria NO.900 that are joining famous old-school spots like Fiorellino, or Bottega. We don’t have a deep dish that’ll satisfy an ex-Chicagoan (yet), but we’re bound to get one soon enough. The one place missing from this list? Montreal.
National Pizza Day in Canada may be celebrated on February 9, but up to 700 lucky Montrealers will be able to grab a small Alto pizza for free on Wednesday, June 21. This collaboration with Skip The Dishes starts at 3 p.m. on the 21st and is limited to cheese pizzas, so no gaming the system by requesting 8,000 toppings.
if you're a self-proclaimed pizza lover, then chances are you're no stranger to Montreal's very own Alto Restaurant. The pizzeria is known for its top-notch pies and delish creations and you can now get your hands on one year's worth of pizza for free.
The Montreal restaurant scene is not to be toyed with, especially when it comes to our pizza scene. Considering Montreal's love for the iconic Italian dish, it's no surprise La Pizza Week had a stop in the 514 from May 1 to May 14. While Pizza Week may have come and gone, the judges have officially announced the winners of the top five pizzas in Canada, and one Montreal pizza restaurant made the cut. Alto's pizzeria on Parc Avenue secured a top spot as one of the best pizza spots in all of Canada landing a major win with their Alt-O-Max pizza.
