New York-style pies & slices, Upside-Down & Soppressata
"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
"Owner André Theriault landed on something special when he began crafting pizzas from behind a counter tucked within bowling alley bar and LGBTQ hangout Notre Dame des Quilles on Beaubien Street. Now, the slice shop occupies its own space just across the street, allowing it to ramp up production. Available for takeout by the slice or the 16-inch round, Bouquet’s pizza reads as a sort of hybrid between New York, New Haven, and what the team calls “New Montreal.” Favorites include the Upside-Down (mozzarella below, garlicky tomato sauce and gremolata drops up top), the Soppressata (featuring Italian spicy salami, goat cheese, red onions, and honey), and specials like the Pickle Surprise with tangy dill pickles, red onions, mozzarella, and cream sauce. This spot gets busy, so if you need a full pie, call ahead." - Valerie Silva
"In response to the “lack of slice culture” in Montreal, Pizza Bouquet opened in the back of the popular, LGBTQ-friendly watering hole Notre Dame des Quilles at the beginning of 2018. Now with a standalone location across the street, it’s become even more of a sought-after slice shop. Owner-operator Andre Theriault sells pizza topped with everything from soppressata to potato and rosemary — both by the slice and the pie." - Joel Balsam, Valerie Silva, Eater Staff

"For cheap, street-side pizza this year, I often turned to this place as an affordable go-to." - Eater Staff
