If you want to eat some of the world's best pizza, you don't need to travel to Italy. Two Montreal pizza makers earned third place at the 2024 Campionato Mondiale della Pizza (Pizza World Championship), an annual competition held in Parma, Italy last month.
Back for its fourth edition, La Pizza Week promises unique takes on everyone's favourite dish. With over 500 restaurants participating in the cheesy action, you'll be able to enjoy signature creations from some of the top pizza spots in Canada.
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.
A golden-brown crispy yet steamy crust that envelops a harmonious blend of tangy tomato sauce made with fresh herbs and spices, along with rich, melted mozzarella cheese. Now, that is the perfect slice of pizza. For those who are self-proclaimed pizza lovers and can't get enough of it, then you're totally going to cheese all over yourself this weekend. Pizza Charlevoix is giving away free cheese pizzas to Montrealers and visitors alike, and all you need is an app.
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.
