I recently had lunch with my cousin at Pizzeria Villeray, and I can see why itâs been a local favorite in Montreal for over 30 years. From the moment we walked in, it felt like more than just a mealâit was an experience. This cozy spot in the heart of the Villeray neighborhood blends tradition with a modern vibe, serving everything from mouthwatering pizzas to Greek-inspired classics. Itâs the perfect place for a laid-back, satisfying meal.

In-Depth Review:
Atmosphere and Ambiance Pizzeria Villeray immediately feels like home. The rustic decor, accented by Greek touches, creates a warm and inviting space. The Santorini blue walls and exposed brick add to the charm, and watching the chefs work their magic in the open kitchen makes the experience even more authentic. The restaurant is small, so it can get packedâespecially on weekendsâbut that only adds to the lively energy. If you canât get a seat, they offer delivery through all the major apps.
Service The service stood out as exceptional. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to share their recommendations, making you feel genuinely welcomed.
Menu and Food Pizzeria Villeray offers something for everyone, with a variety of options. Hereâs what we tried: âą The William (Off-Menu Special): Crispy chicken tenders, spicy sriracha mayo, melty cheese, and savory gravy on golden fries. Indulgent and worth asking for by name. âą Pork Gyro Pita: Juicy pork with vibrant flavors and classic gyro fixingsâmy personal favorite. âą All-Dressed Sub (Steak, pepperoni, peppers & mushrooms): Flavor-packed with savory steak and tangy peppers. âą Crispy Fried Chicken with Gravy & Coleslaw: Comfort food at its finestâcrispy chicken, homemade gravy, and refreshing coleslaw. âą Churros: Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with creamy caramel fillingâan irresistible finish. âą Fudgy Chocolate Cake: Decadent yet balanced, satisfying without being too heavy.
There are so many options, and while I didnât get to try everything, what I had was exceptional. Pizzeria Villeray delivers satisfying dishes that will have you coming back for more.
Drinks I stuck with water, but thereâs a solid selection of soft drinks available if youâre craving something fizzy.
Pricing Pizzeria Villeray offers family combo deals and different sizes for pizzas (10-16in), subs (7-14in), and poutines. The portions are generous, so youâll definitely leave full.
Overall Experience If youâre looking for great food in a cozy, vibrant spot, Pizzeria Villeray should be at the top of your list. The creative pizzas, comforting Greek dishes, and welcoming vibe make it a standout in Montrealâs food scene. Whether youâre a local or just passing through, this place is a must-visitâyou...
   Read moreSo I used to really like this place. But over the course the past year or so it's gotten really rediculous. Never a whole order correct.
My last 2 orders looked like this. Poutine fries well done extra cheese.
The cheese came in a side container. And the fries were raw. WOW.
And tonight they didn't even bother to deliver the poutine. GOOD JOB!
When we called and said screw it... Everyone else is eating now, just refund the missing food. They started a screaming match then....
They brought me back 10 dollars of a 12 dollar + txs poutine. Like they did me a favour. Like I owed them for the delivery of my own money? I spent a minimum of 40 bucks at least 2 or times a week...
   Read moreWhat an amazing classic Greek pizzeria in MTL (Villeray). First of all, the modern decor with Greek details is very cute. We were pleasantly surprised by all the dishes we tried. The portions are massive, the service was super nice and quick. Everything is loaded, VERY generous on the toppings. We LOVED the Philly burger, the textures and flavours paired perfectly. The pizza has so much cheese, yet the crust keeps its crispy texture. The onion rings are amazing too! The menu is very wide and it seems like there is no bad choice, you can tell almost everything is homemade. I will...
