First visit there tonight. What I got: 12" All-dressed pizza with extra olives and mushrooms. I ate the first slice there, to get the best possible fresh and hot experience.
Good Pizza. Could be AWESOME with easy changes. Pros: VERY Generous toppings, REALLY hot out of the oven, cheese nicely browned, with the classic pizza dough ball in the center to prevent the box from sticking to the pie! They even added masking tape to keep the box secure during transport. I appreciate this attention to details.
Cons: The juices from all the toppings made the dough really soggy it just tore apart when cut. Don't even try eating this without a plate and utensils.
Can't taste (or hardly see) the tomato sauce in there. Sauce is what makes a pizza stand out, and it's an easy fix at home with a pizza sauce and/or hot sauce or spicy oil. Still, we shouldn't have to doctor a pizza to really enjoy it. I wish they'd try a classic tomato pizza sauce recipe. Pizza sauce should be thick enough to stay where's it's spread. This pizza had a few spots of hazy pink over the dough, making the sauce...an imprint of a ghost of a flavor.
There was too much cheese in my opinion. It became this thick rubbery layer that fought the other textures and flavors for attention. I love pizza mozzarella, but this was way too much.
I'll order from there again, it would be very practical when I shop in the area. It could easily become a craved favorite, if only the cons listed above...
Read moreDeliciously warm pizza served here. Decided to dine in at nighttime after searching for Montreal pizza recommendations. I noticed this name popped up and it caught my attention by the amount of popularity it received. And boy was the popularity justified.
One of the unique things about this pizza place is that they serve something called pizzaghetti. Which is pizza and spaghetti combined in one. Super cool idea, not sure where it originated but I'm glad it has been established here too in Montreal!
Although the pizzaghetti was tempting, I decided to go with the classic pepperoni option and save the new for another time. My +2 went with the bacon option. Something cool that the pizzeria permitted us to do is to split the entire pie into 2 sides. One side with only pepperoni and another side with the bacon. Super cool of them for that.
The pepperoni slices were awesome. The actual pepperoni had the original taste that is derived from the pork itself. As soon as you taste it, your taste buds will recognize it. Even on the pictures, the meat looks different from other typical pizzeria places. The meat, and the cheese is what sets Marconi's apart from the rest. As well as the pizzaghetti option of course.
For the cheese, it was smooth and the texture, well, cheesy. It definitely added a joy to the dining experience. The appearance of the food was a light golden brown shine. Quite the attractive design. The ingredients, organic, and...
Read moreRecently ordered from Marconi Pizzeria for a big Haitian family dinner, and it was a crowd-pleaser all around. We went with two of their extra-large pies…and when they say extra-large, they’re not kidding. Each slice was massive, we had to cut them in half just to make serving easier!
We got Special No. 2 and Special No. 3 ($58 each), which come all-dressed with toppings under the cheese…except for the bacon , which gets nice and crispy on top. The bacon and onion combo on No. 2 was my personal fave, but the sausage on No. 3 was close second place. Crust was solid, sauce had flavor, and they definitely don’t skimp on toppings.
Heads up: it came out to over $100 for the two pizzas, so it’s a splurge.. but a delicious one for feeding a crew.
No frills, just good pizza made for sharing.
Not a collab… just a happy customer. But I do spotlight my favorite local gems on TikTok @foxy.appetite and IG @foxyappetite —...
