I was excited to try Brigade as it's not that far from my Montreal workplace and I had noted that it was highly rated on Yelp. Also, I love pizza and neapolitan style in particular. I just wish I had read the reviews before I went so I would have been more prepared and probably enjoyed it even more. It is very casual first off and that's not just a comment on the decor and seating but the fact that you walk in and line up at a counter to make your order (and you stand in that line while all customers who are ahead of you get their pizzas prepared). I had a lot of bags and a laptop so this made it a bit uncomfortable frankly. There's nothing I would have loved more than to be able to sit and place my order. The other challenge is that it is difficult to see the menu when the counter area is busy and you are at the side of the counter close to the entrance. Their menu is not online either so it is hard to order when you are not sure of the options. I decided therefore to keep it simple and have a margherita. The service at the front was very friendly. I asked for some extra basil leaves which they obliged but what I didn't realize was that those few extra leaves were 1.50 extra. That really surprised me. Overall the base price at 8.95 was really reasonable but I thought it was a bit petty to charge for extra herbs ( I learned later that it's 1.50 for each additional topping). So after I ordered and then paid it was a very short wait for the pizza. You take your pizza in hand, pick up your utensils from a side table and seat yourself. Luckily I had no trouble getting a seat and I tucked in right away. The pizza was a bit chewy which is not unexpected for that style of crust but it could have benefitted from maybe 20 seconds longer in the oven-it was just a tad underdone. Other than that, it tasted really good and it was the perfect size for one hungry person. For the pizza (with two additional toppings ) and a beer my total was $22.
