| - We were vacationing in Montreal near the old city, and wanted dinner. Our first choice turned out to be closed for renovation, but we had spotted this outpost of a local chain on Rue McGill, and thought a good pizza sounded good.
It really is small, wedged into a parking lot with 50 tightly packed seats. The pizza oven is on display and looks very cool. Our waitress switched somewhat uneasily to English, but she did just fine in taking our orders and making suggestions. The beer selection was disappointing, so I had red wine instead, and when they ran out of that one, she suggested another that I actually liked more than the first.
We each had arugula salad and a pizza. The salads were quite generous and tasty, and the pizzas are the sort I favor: Neapolitan style with thin crust and light toppings, and they're small enough that one person can have his own. We loved the bright tomato sauce and cheese, but crust is the thing in pizza, and this is crisp and slightly chewy with those sexy char marks.
It's not the cheap, nasty product most people think of as pizza, and for that we were grateful.
