| - Pendeli's Pizzeria on Cote Saint Luc Road without a doubt serves one of the best pizza pies I have sampled in Montreal. I grew up in Montreal and more specifically N.D.G. during an era where mom and pop style pizzerias were commonplace. Such places as Golden Moon, Bonora, Kent, Pompeii's and Vesuvio's among others, dotted the landscape. All have long since closed and Pendeli's Pizzeria remains, in business since 1958. I have been coming here for years.
I was in the area recently and stopped in to order a small pepperoni, well done, to go. The wait was not very long, approximately 15 minutes. During the waiting period I listened to the owner and delivery men talk about how the price of food was skyrocketing and began to wonder if this would be reflected in the price of my pizza (it was not). I paid $10.25 plus tax for my pizza. Cheap compared to some other competitors places (B&M comes to mind, way overpriced).
The pizza was excellent. Pendeli's serves their pizzas with long triangular slices of pepperoni, piled on thick and placed on top with the cheese underneath. I like this style. The dough is excellent thick crust, crisp and fresh. Carrying the box out of the Pizzeria I noticed the weight of the pizza as compared to other pizza joints. It is quite heavy! All in all, I would rate Pendeli's as one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. It doesn't get any better!
