Pizza is my favorite food and no matter where I travel I always seek out the best pizza that place has to offer. Before I went to Montreal I asked some locals what the best pizza place was. I got mixed answers and finally settled on one place that sounded the best. Well I won't even mention that place as it was average at best, and that's being generous.\n\nAfter being in Montreal a couple of days I asked a few locals who were orginally from other parts of the country what they thought about the pizza in the city and the resounding answer was that there wasn't a great pizza spot in Montreal. After my visit I'm inclined to believe them. However Pizzedelic is a place that I would recommend. \n\nWhile a chain, Pizzedelic is not your typical pizza chain. It's more a local pizza chain than a national pizza chain and you can both see and taste the difference in the pizza. In fact I hesistate even mentioning that it is a chain. The Vieux Montreal location definitely doesn't look like a chain either. It was pretty nice inside and the patrons were largely drinking wine with their food. It also had a nice ambience as well, though I suspect this is due to it's location which is by the nicest hotels in the city. So if you go to another location, I would expect a more casual look than this particular location had as the one on Mont-Royal. \n\nI was pleasantly surprised by the pizza. I knew it was square shaped going in and that you could get some really interesting ingredients, but I like my pizza simple. The crust is very thin and was perfectly done. It was crispy at the edges but soft in the middle. And when I say thin, I mean thin. The sauce was good, not too sweet and not too much of it. The cheese was just the right amount and good as well. Being lunch I went with a soft drink as opposed to a beer or wine and I was pleasantly surprised to see they had Jones sodas. I was full after my meal and so I declined dessert, however the desserts I saw looked amazing. \n\nIf you're looking for a good thin crust pizza in Montreal I would give Pizzedelic a try. The square pizzas are nice personal sized pizzas and they have something for everyone.
