It is definitely time to update my review for Magpie as it was written early in my Yelp career.
Magpie is a sweet little restaurant that produces one of the best pizza in Montreal. The menu is small and is updated periodically. There is always a special pizza announced on the black board above the kitchen and I'm still raving about the lobster pizza I had a year ago, whether it was the special or not. The same board has a short list of the oysters available for the day.
The pizza crust is like home made, a little bit thicker for my taste, definitely delicious, you can't leave even a little piece on your plate, regardless how full you may be by the end of your meal. The magic in my view is in the little wood fired oven sitting proudly in one of the restaurant corners.
Normally you'd rather have a reservation for Magpie. My last visit was sweet, we showed up without reservation, sat on the bar and got the best service, including tasty cocktails fixed in front of us for our pleasure. This unexpected visit wins Magpie five stars.
