Dirty Pizza- Mt. Royal
Located at 25 Avenue du Mont-Royal E, Dirty Pizza is the place to go to for amazing poutine and pizza. Mount Royal is a major tourist attraction here in Montreal, and you can count on seeing hundreds of people enjoying Tam-Tams every Sunday while the weather allows it.
Being a stone throw away from the mountain, makes this restaurant the ideal place to stop at. While we were eating, we overheard the passersby say that the food looks so amazing, that they will have to come back. The customers of the pub next door, kept looking at us while we enjoyed our meals- with looks of envy and jealousy- with good reason.
While the indoor customer capacity is bit limited, it is cozy. The walls are filled with pictures of celebrities enjoying pizza. It is fun to try and spot your favorite celebrity while placing your order- which, took us several minutes to do because everything sounded so good. I had looked at the menu all morning, and I still couldn’t decide what I wanted because everything is so appetizing.
They also have seating outside, which makes enjoying a meal in beautiful Montreal weather that much better
We ended up ordering La Angry Goat Pizza (Goat cheese, roasted red peppers, pesto sauce, balsamic reduction), La K-Pop Pizza (Kimchi, BBQ sauce Dirty Dogs, black sesame seeds), La P.I.G. Mac Poutine (4 Cheese Mac & Cheese, pulled pork, caramelized onions, BBQ sauce Dirty Dogs).
Delicious.
The poutine alone has ruined all other poutines for me (and I love my poutine). I used to love going to La Banquise, and while it is amazing that they are open 24/7, I honestly enjoyed the poutine from Dirty Pizza more than any of the dishes I have ever had at Banquise.
I was hesitant when it came to the Mac and Cheese, since you never know what kind it will be. Anyone can make Kraft Dinner at home and I didn’t want that to be on a poutine. However, it was (thankfully) a homemade quality mac and cheese. It was such an amazing addition, that I couldn’t believe I had ever doubted the idea. Add the pulled pork, their trademarked Dirty Dogs sauce, and you could not ask for a better poutine.
The pizzas are amazing. Any fan of Kimchi, needs to try the K-Pop Pizza. It had the perfect amount of heat to compliment the cheese. Just like many of the dishes, they offer toppings that you can’t get at your local pizzeria. There is a reason they say they offer gourmet meals!

The goat cheese, mixed with arugula on La Angry Goat pizza, was perfect. Plus, any pesto lover will love the sauce.
If you ever have any issues concerning the toppings, they will work hard to accommodate your needs. Half and half pizzas, vegan options- they want to ensure that you love your meal.
I will definitely be returning to enjoy several other meals, and I hope to see you there!
