"Owner André Theriault landed on something special when he began crafting pizzas from behind a counter tucked within LGBTQ hangout Notre Dame des Quilles on Beaubien. Since a move in 2021, he and a team have been running this pint-sized slice shop across the street, now drawing fans who spill out the door as they wait or squeeze onto the bench out front while juggling their stack of paper plates and warm, cheesy slices. Available for takeout, on-site at a handful of counter stools, and delivery for 16-inch rounds — or swing by the team’s new full-service pizzeria Star Bar. Though it’s been open for less than a year on Saint-Laurent, Star Bar already feels like it’s been there for ages, with solid cocktails and a fun bar setting featuring trivia, bingo, “Elder Babe” nights, and more. Must-try dish: The Upside-Down, with mozzarella at the base and a garlicky tomato sauce and gremolata drops up top — along with a slice of whatever quirky new special they’re testing at the moment." - Valerie Silva
