Pineapple on pizza is no longer the biggest conversation starter or stopper at dinner tables. The latest food trend making rounds on TikTok, honey-topped pizza, has made its way to a Montreal restaurant, where it's taking the city's pizza game to the "nectar" level. It's not just any honey, but the spicy, hot kind that promises to add both sweetness and a kick to your slice.
Pineapple on pizza is no longer the biggest conversation starter – or stopper – at dinner tables. The latest food trend making rounds on TikTok has made its way to Montreal, and it's sweetening the pizza game: honey-topped pizza. Not just any honey, but the spicy, hot kind that promises to add both sweetness and a kick to your slice.
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.
