Bottega Pizzeria ~ Montreal, Quebec


(Rue Saint-Zotique - one block SE of Inferno)
This one will be more brief as I ordered carry-out after working late one night.

Primarily (exclusively?) a pizza joint - one that was started by the friend of one of my 30-something colleagues who studied / trained in Italy. I ordered a Diavolo pizza and a caprese salad to go. Salad was huge - probably could have done with a half size. Pizza was better than I had hoped - and I had high hopes! Very spicy (they cook in the crushed red pepper - more potent than sprinkling on top), excellent sauce, with salami, tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. Crust was good, wood-fired with some flare-spots where the bubbling had caused some extra-crispy cheese. Will go back and have one on-site since the to-go takes a bit of the crunch away. Still one of the better pies I have ever had.

Also, closed Monday.
