In the heart of Montreal’s vibrant culinary scene, a new flavor was born. Founded on the belief that the comfort of a classic pizza could be elevated by the bold, aromatic spices of the subcontinent, Pizza Desi began as a small dream with a big “zing.” Since our first oven was lit in 2020, we have been on a mission to redefine the “everyday meal” into a cross-cultural celebration. From our flagship on Jarry to our expanding footprint across the city, every slice tells the story of our heritage, our hustle, and our love for bold innovation.

Our Head Chef blends traditional South Asian spices with Montreal’s iconic pizza crust. From Sherbrooke to Jarry and Queen Mary, he ensures every hand-stretched slice delivers the perfect, authentic “Desi” kick. Experience the passion in every bite.
The Signature Spice: Our secret “Desi Pizza Sauce” is simmered for six hours using a proprietary blend of twelve different spices sourced directly from South Asia.
Hand-Stretched Daily: Despite our bold fusion flavors, we stick to tradition when it comes to the base—every dough ball is hand-stretched and aged for 48 hours for the perfect airy crunch.
A Montreal Hybrid: We are proud to be a local favorite where you can find a classic Montreal-style pepperoni pizza sitting right next to a fiery Chicken Tikka masala pie.
The Tandoor Touch: We use specialized ovens to ensure our meats have that authentic “char” and smoky flavor that you can only get from traditional clay-oven cooking.
