Delicious pizza romana that highlights the italian tradition of simple, high quality ingredients well paired and prepared with love. The caprese includes perfect blobs of burratta cheese offset by a tart but light tomato base. The cacciocavallo is a masterpiece of comfort food and should be eaten WARM (or reheated) so that the potato layer is soft and gooey under its blankets of smoked cheese. You will likely see a lineup outside on the weekend but do not be deterred, joy awaits you inside. The pastries were fine.

Small Italian cafe, ideal for a snack. Pizza by the slice, pastries and coffee.

Best pizza in town honestly ! Sad that I don’t go to Mila campus anymore cause it’s on the same street but still worth the detour to Little Italy just to grab some. And they are always so nice particularly with tgtg pick up cause most restaurants don’t really act nice when you pick up bags but I think they gave me the best pick up experience ever and that what make me come back as a regular customer! Worth every penny!

Their pizzas are great and I think that’s already a general consensus. So today what I would like to praise is their customer service. I was met with so much kindness today that it took me back to when I first came to Montreal. I guess this review is the least I can do to say thanks! Will come again

Coffee is good. Pizza... I had high hopes but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The pepperoni was good, but the other pizza was mediocre. Place is a little small and crowded. Service was fast. Kinda regret not trying one of their desserts though. Those looked really good.

Service was nice and friendly with a cozy atmosphere. We wanted to try their zeppole’s but unfortunately they only start serving them on march 19. Instead, we tried their lemon cookie which had a nice chewy texture and a tasty glaze. Their cannoli were delicious with the perfect crunchy shell and smooth filling. The pizza looked very good, we would definitely come back to try them!

San G is a great spot with super friendly staff and a welcoming vibe. The team is always kind and attentive, and you can tell they care about their customers. The pizza is fresh daily and consistently delicious. Definitely a place a local gem I come back to when I’m in the area.

The perfect place for a delicious quick bite of pizza al taglio; it’s fresh, crispy, and savoury. Definitely recommend!

Love this little gem I heard about and pizza is outstanding. I picked up my order. Staff was friendly, prices reasonable, great counters for people to grab a pizza, coffee or dessert and sit. Pizza was fresh, fluffy, tasty and delicious. My family agreed as well. Being a pizza maker myself, this gets a 5 + ++

It was the first time I went there and honestly it wasn't what I expect based on the Google rate. Consider a Cafr style restaurant that you have to pay around 8 dollars for each piece of pizza! Their food and pastries was fresh but not like wow you for 4.7 rate. It worth to go once if you like Italian style cafe restaurant.
