Da Bologna Pizzeria

Montreal North’s Da Bologna is a pure treasure! 💞 I had the Italian Salad which was fresh and super tasty and scrumptious — along with the Ravioli tomato sauce true comforting and delicious. Our waitress was friendly and welcoming, adding warmth to the cozy setting. You can truly taste the love in every dish—authentic Italian dining at its best. 🌟 Highly Recommend! 🌟

First off, this is a typical Quebec style pie to me. Not Italian as the restaurant name would suggest. The pie was well done, had an amazing char top and bottom. Sauce is good, nice tangy taste. Heavy on the toppings, too much pepperoni and cheese it made the middle soggy and not cook evenly. Pepperoni under the cheese, still not a fan of that. All in all decent pie, I give this a 5.2 that's a review.

I am from Ontario and had come down for my grandmothers celebration of life and we needed a locale for 30 people. I called this place based on high recommendation from others. I called and asked for the owner Vince and explained our short notice situation and asked him if he could accommodate a group of thirty with very little notice and right after Christmas holidays!! I explained we wanted to host a celebration of life. Vince not only accommodated all of us short notice, but, he even opened the restaurant a couple hours early to allow us to have some privacy for our celebration of life!! The food and service was impeccable, delicious, fresh and delivered in a timely fashion. The poutine was gorgeous the pizzas the best I’ve had in a while! The subs are made with the pizza dough and they aren’t doughy!!! Myself and 30 other people can’t say enough good things! Sadly I was too busy eating to take pics of food! We will be back it will be our new go to when we visit Montreal! Thankyou again Vince, Eva

Always great friendly, service ! The subs are awesome and filling. Nice crispy, chewy dough . Classic place :) Great subs, they are not full of bread like other places! They have plenty of fresh ingredients and fresh pizza style bread. Good pizza too. Our waitress was very nice, overall great experience. :)

Food was great. The waitress moved our seats when we were already seated. The cold air was coming directly on us. I will be back, but in the winter I will sit elsewhere.

Went there for a quick bite. As most reviews have covered if you want amazing tasting pizza and a decent price this is the place to go. Service is great and food top notch. Decor is typical euro italian style. Friendly staff. Bottle water is cute and available. If you need an espresso or great non filtered coffee Bologna has that to. Definitely would come back. Also if you live within range you can take advantage of there delivery service too.

My husband and I came to have supper here with my kids. The kids had spaghetti with tomato sauce and we had the truffle pizza. It was delicious! The service was also great!

Da Bologna is a diamond in the rough - literally cuz it’s in Montreal-Nord! Nevertheless, Bologna is a great local Italian diner - affordable and delicious. Their Club Sandwich is out of this world!

Ok, this place is definitely about the pizza and I had a submarine. So my 3 star could easily be a 4 star if I had the right thing. Why did you have the submarine then, you ask. I was in a sub mood the last few days and needed something easy to eat. The submarine was

Da Bologna has been a restaurant since 1958. That's pretty incredible when you think about it! Over sixty years of serving top quality reasonably priced Italian. I've dined here on multiple occasions and the vibe is local Italian joint serving comfort classics of pizza, pasta and MTL Italian subs. The pizza really is exceptional. It's dough is the perfect mix of crispy and soft doughy. For me this is the perfect North American style pizza done right. I will for sure keep coming back again for the delish pizza. The Italian got subs are packed full of toppings and hearty and flavourful. The pasta here is OK. Nothing special bit the pizza is outstanding. They also have a basket of fries that is gargantuan. You can go for 1/2 fries 1/2 onion rings and it's sinful and crispy. Word to the wise. The restaurant becomes hellaciously busy on the weekends. Coming very early is highly recommended. If you come at 6-6:30pm be prepared to wait for up to an hour. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Lunch with friends on a Thursday. It was quiet and we had time to chat. They ordered pizza on the lunch special. It came with soup, desert and coffee. The pizza was delicious but a little small. I had the tuna sandwich in a pizza bun. OMG that was awesome. Big portion with a crunchy crust. I ordered a side salad. It was excellent. If you like pizza just order it straight up. Its really good.

Absolutely blown away at the comfort food I ate here. If you're having a crappy/day/week/life, you come here and eat until you don't have any more worries! I must have driven past this place a hundred times in my life and never even looked twice. Their menu is pure italian/comfort goodness. We went with a medium pizza, a 14 inch steak and pepperoni sub and side onion rings and we made it a night of it. That pizza is the perfect mix of "italian style and north american style" with quality dough, plenty of cheese and just enough ingredients to put it all together without being a greasy soggy mess. Reheating the pair of slices I took home with me the next day was nostalgic to the prior night's experience. What a pizza! The sub is a beautiful thing, STACKED with the good and really came together well. I tend to like my subs a little wet so I'll make it a point to ask for extra sauce on the side the next time I'll come around. AND THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME! The onion rings was a generous portion and they were done to perfection! We didn't opt for dessert because we were stuffed but did take some cappuccinos and they were good. Service was quick and friendly. Never let us hanging and the entire experience was very positive. They were quite busy with a full seated resto and people coming in and out picking up the goods.

I had heard if Da Bologna through a Facebook post of one of my girlfriend's friend who raved about it. It's been around since 1958. It's the quintessential mom & pop corner store (really on the corner) that's become a neighborhood institution. I had to go. So about a year later, my girlfriend and I got a roundtuit and in we went... My expectations were dashed. I thought Da Bologna was an Italian restaurant. It is, but it's in the Pizza/Sub format but with a pretty dinning room and no visible stacks of pizza boxes. Don't get me wrong, I f'ing love pizza and subs. But I was expecting more of a Napolitano Pizzeria in the Italian quarter with nice Calabrese salad, grilled sausage, a ton of fresh pasta options, of course, delicious 'Za, some cannolis for desert, yada, yada, yada. But that sure as shit didn't stop me, because PIZZA! Good 'Za I could eat every day. I ordered the sausage pizza, my girlfriend had the all-dressed with bacon, with some frings. Da Bologna really doesn't skimp on the toppings and they are fresh & tasty. The dough is soft and chewy and yet firm enough to not flop down dumping all your cheesy goodness on your plate. I'm a folder. I told my slice to eat it like a sammich. It folded, but damn was it loaded. Tons of cheese, always a bonus and instead of having some cheap sausage sliced into tiny disks of jerky-like texture, they had the class of de-casing the sausage (if it was ever in a casing) and there's was a truckload of it. Nice sauce. Just meat & cheese, nothing fancy, just a very flavorful pizza. And upon reheating the left overs the next day, the crust remained chewy and didn't become concrete. The all-dressed with bacon was equally fantastic. Salty bacon, another plus. Frings, or fries and onion rings. This is where all restaurants lose me a little when I am served French fries that come from the freezer and not the slicer. You just served me this awesome, delicious, flavor packed 'Za but then you go a serve me some McCain's. Nope, just nope. (They were still pretty good). The equally frozen were had a pretty good crunch and were what you expect from frozen rings. (They were still pretty good). And for dessert, they have limited options. Rice pudding, cake which varies from day to day (probably means made fresh (why not the fries?) And Pouding Chômeur and I of course went for the classic Québécois dessert. And. It. Was. Awesome. Made in house? I don't know, but it was a hit. The dinning room isn't all that big (perfect) and the service was great even though the poor girl had the packed room to contend with. She didn't miss a beat... ok one. We waited a little to long for the bill. But I wasn't complaining. In any case, if you're looking for some amazing pizza, Da Bologna is a winner. Next time I might venture in the subs menu, but I'll probably have the sausage pizza again. Yum.

I love the pizza here. Worth the drive (I'm driving in from Laval). From the outside it looks like it's got the same sign it did when it opened over 50 years ago, which lends an antique charm and invites you into its history. More importantly, there's no frills to this place, they don't need to win anyone over with spectacular branding or fancy decor. Da Bologna is all about serving quality food. I haven't yet tried their subs, but the pizza sauce to cheese to other ingredients ratio has been perfected. It's not exactly the "thin slice" style pizza which has grown in popularity lately (and has its place!), but has a much more classic "New York" style pizza that has loads of delicious cheese, a perfect crust and quality ingredients. Everything tastes fresh with just the right amount of greasy! I recommend the Pizza "Special Maison" with it's big chunks of mushrooms. Also, they have a delicious house made style "pepperoncini" which is basically hot peppers in oil. I always get a side of fries which are delicious too! Overall the service was good, but I'm only giving four stars, only because after I paid, my friend and I sat and chatted for a little while, and we weren't offered any refills on our water--that would have reaped a 5th star.

This is an amazing family run business since 1958. I used to eat here starting from the seventies up to the nineties and then I stopped going for the longest of times for a variety of reasons. We did however order pizza delivery over the years and the pizza was always top tier with that unique Montreal style taste. Well today I visited the restaurant with my wife to reconnect with the past experience and let me say the food is as great as I remember it. That says a lot for consistency! We each had a sub with pepperoni, steak, peppers, onions, cheese, lettuce and tomatoe that were cooked to perfection. The spices and seasoning really make the difference. The main difference from other restaurants is that the bread is made with pizza dough. Delish!!!! It also brought me back to my teenage years. This place really is a hidden gem but the nearby locals know it's fantastic. If you want a great, unique tasting and delighfully delicious sub, you need to come here. Enjoy!

There's a reason why this place has been opened since 1958. DELICIOUS pizza! It was worth crossing the bridge from the South Shore over to this neighbourhood pizza joint. Hubby really wanted a salad so we ordered the the Italian salad that wasn't the star of the meal but still fresh and healthy ;). I had to try the Don Pasquale pizza and ordered a small side of onion rings (I need to say that it was a big portion). The crust was at the right thickness and boy was it on point!!! Everything was very good and the service as well. They also have specials running from Sunday to Thursday. For example: 2 Caesar salads and two pizza-ghettis for 29,99$. Our friends ordered it and said it was delicious. I will be ordering this next time. Because I live to eat, I ordered to go a special as well. I got the all-dressed with steak 8' sub with fries and a cola for tomorrow's lunch lol. I will be coming back for sure!

Pricey yes but is it crazy expensive no! But when you consider the quality of the pizza you truly barely think of the price! The pizzas are off the chain! The sauce is itself notches above other pizza places! I can truly say this is one of the best pizza places in Mtl and been going there or getting it delivered for over twenty years! I also love the fact that there's often a special of the day where you can get more pizza since the prices are reduced! I just wish there was more parking spaces but hey what can you do! It's a busy street but at least it's not as bad as downtown! Ps: maybe sell the sauce in a bottle if you aren't already doing that! Love the pizza sauce OMG so fresh and tasty!!!

A few weeks back I was in Montreal for the Formula 1 race. If you have been to Montreal you know that the amount of great food places is insane. The places that you want to visit are the hidden gems and let me tell you Da Bologna is just that. Its in Montreal North hidden in a small area surrounded with homes and small shops. When approaching this place from the outside you might think twice about going inside. If that crosses your mind DONT LISTEN to your self. If the line up to get in doesn't give it away then please take my advise. This place is awesomeeee. I ordered the pizza of course which is what they are known for and let me tell you I could not find anything wrong with it even if I wanted to. My biggest problem was trying not to steal my friends sub sandwich that is made from the pizza dough. That looked amazing also. Pizza is heavy on the toppings and cooked to perfection. Please make sure to call for a reservation and even still be prepared to wait but its well worth the wait.

Best subs in Montreal! The pizza is also excellent and more NY style than napolitani style pizza. It's not a pretentious place and the quality of the food is what keeps people coming back after all these years.

I have been ordering pizza here for years and there's a reason why. There pizzas are well cooked and the crust is the way I like it, a little crispy and a little chewy. You can also ask them to cook it more or less depending on your preference. On a Saturday night this place gets filled really fast, it's great for family parties. The only down side is this place is a little bit small and the last time I had my pizza I felt the cheese was a tad too salty, I would have gave it a 5 star rating. Anyway if you go take the Mercedes pizza... Absolutely delicious

A Montreal-North institution. I remember growing up in MTL-North and enjoying their amazing pizzas and subs. They still are amazing. Came here on a Saturday night with the guys and had to wait 20 minutes for a table but it was of course worth the wait. I have to admit it has been a few years since I've been here. It was a little hole in the wall but they have renovated it nicely and now accept reservations. Our usual waitress, Sophie, took great care of us. We ordered our subs (Bologna special for me, Steak, Steak and more Steak sub for buddy #1) while my other bud had a veal parm. All served hot and delicious. Such a treat to eat here. Never had one bad dish or service. They really take pride in their food and it shows. Ordered a small bacon pizza to go since my wife never had Bologna. She really enjoyed it! Oh before I forget try their onion rings, really crunchy and yummy. Now fair warning to all. It is an Italian family style restaurant. It is loud, loud loud. It makes Elios pizzeria sound like a church. So just letting you know that no, there is not a huge fight happening in the resto, it is just us Italians enjoying conversation :-)

Tried this pizzeria for the first time today and I was blown away!!!! My friend has been going here for years & I'm sad it took him this long to introduce me to the most an amazing sub. Easily top 3 in my lifetime. The bread they use which is made from their own pizza dough is cooked well done with burnt ends and very crispy. What happens is you get hot bread with the hot filling which they are very generous with. The place is a out of date from the outside but when the sign reads open since 1958 it's a no brainer in my opinion. Well worth the detour.

Very nice and cozy place. Not pretentious and amazing pizza! I hear they're very clean in the kitchen from former employees! I'll be coming here more often. Not sure what my servers name was, but it showed they enjoyed their job!

What a great little restaurant. Great pasta, good meatballs and a fantastic Nutella pizza. The salad was fresh and there was no lack of greens on my plate. Great experience !

Ordered a pizza last month in my opion it was one of the best I've eaten in a long time. Looking forward to eating there one day.
