"I've been living in Montreal for years and hadn't actually heard about this place until I saw an episode of \"You Gotta Eat Here!\" on Food Network. I've read a lot of positive reviews and can say this place serves good pizza.\nFirst impression is that the place looks small, cluttered, and definitely very noisy. It's family friendly, not so much a good place for a romantic dinner.\n\nMy dining partner expected to order a classic \"all dressed\" pizza, but we were overwhelmed with the menu choices and combinations. It's a good thing the service was a little slow, gave us time to contemplate the options. After making our selection and ordering a drink, waiter informed us the soda was on the house due to long wait.\nWe got some bread and butter, which I found too chewy and tough. I can't tell if that's just its texture, or that it wasn't very fresh. \nPizzas were good, albeit very salty. I ordered the Rustica one: mozzarella, bonccocini, tomato slices and pancetta. I was very glad they left an entire carafe of water because I had to down so many glasses....\nPortion size was enough to fill me.\n\nFor dessert, we tried their Lemoncello and Ferrero Rocher cakes which were light and fluffy. Not too sweet. A good end to this meal.\n\nHowever main drawbacks were pricing, which I found a little steep. Their pizzas range from 10 to 20 $, most of them within the 15 $ range and these are individual portions. \nAlso, my biggest complaint is that this place ONLY ACCEPTS CASH!\nI guess they're keeping it old school, and not only that, even their ATM machine is outdated.\nBoth my boyfriend and I tried using their ATM and got refused, to find out that it does not accept cards with a microchip (which almost all bank cards have nowadays!) . Luckily there is a convenience store across the street where we were able to pull out some money.\n\nI never pay anything in cash and was quite shocked to find a well established restaurant, serving full menu and full house for years to lack any debit or credit card terminal.\n\nSo if you plan to go as a family or group, make sure you bring cash and lots of it."^^ .
