A little break between seasons—spring break is here, and the Easter holidays are [...]
Say what you will, but enjoying a delicious pizza on a Friday night while watching a good movie is a great way to kick off the weekend. To whet your appetite, we’ve put together a list of the best pizzas in Laval.
The little hidden treasure
The Gatto Matto restaurant is undoubtedly our hidden gem. With its avant-garde and modern Italian cuisine, Gatto Matto will charm you with its selection of pizzas. Whether you’re a “pepperoni and cheese” kind of person or more adventurous, you’ll find the pizza that’s right for you. Our recommendation for discerning palates: the “Funghi Tartufo” with its creamy truffle sauce, oyster mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, mozzarella, and chives. A pure delight!
A taste of California on your plate
Let’s now move from Italy to California. It’s at the ZIBO restaurant-bar that you’ll find classic West Coast cuisine, featuring salads, pasta, seafood, and of course, pizza. Not sure which one to choose from all these options? Try our favorite, the “Grilled Vegetables and Smoked Gouda” pizza, topped with fresh basil, mozzarella, smoked Gouda, grilled vegetables, arugula, and Parmesan shavings. You’ll be coming back for more!
A pizza baked in a wood-fired oven
For an authentic wood-fired pizza, head to the restaurant Le Vieux Four de Laval. From the very first bite, you’ll be transported to Italy. For a classic local pizza, try the “Lavalloise” with tomato sauce, shrimp, mushrooms, black olives, green peppers, and cheese!
Enjoy with the whole family
What's THE place to go for a family pizza night? The Boston Pizza , of course! The kids will love their mini pizzas, while Mom and Dad can create their own pizza based on the inspiration of the moment or choose one from the menu. If you haven’t tried the “Spicy Perogy” yet, we highly recommend it. With its cactus potatoes, bacon, green onions, and sour cream, you’ll love it!
