The verdict
Most likely the Bernie's on Alessia's list: a kitschy pizza and martini bar in Dollard-des-Ormeaux with family photos on the walls. Order the Hot Pep and the Caesar, ask whether the pickle-juice Dill-ightful martini (from a 2024 review) is still pouring, and expect comfort food rather than a chef's statement. The catch is geography: it's a West Island suburban spot the owners pitch as an easy drive with free parking, so it only earns a slot if you are already out west or have a car and a free evening.
- From Alessia's list
- On Tastet's Best Pizza in Montreal list (updated June 2026)
- A martini list (classic and not-so-classic, per Tastet) next to thin-crust tavern pizza
Why maybeOpen, busy and well reviewed through early October 2026, but it's a suburban comfort-pizza night rather than a destination kitchen, and the trip is based in Griffintown. Worth it if Alessia confirms this is her pick or plans already take you to the West Island.

Tap the circle to want it. Tap again once it's eaten.
Bernies Pizza Martini Bar, the short list
Must order
Hot Pep
Tavern pizza with house tomato sauce, mozzarella, cup-and-char pepperoni, pepperoncini and Mike's Hot Honey.
The pie that keeps coming up by name in 2026 reviews: sweet heat on a thin crust.
Must order
The Signature Caesar
Baby gem, croutons, parmesan shavings, bacon and house Caesar dressing.
The most-praised thing that isn't pizza. Reviewers order it alongside the Hot Pep almost by reflex.
Cheesy Garlic Rolls
Six sweet rolls baked with mozzarella and garlic butter, served with ranch and hot marinara.
Tastet's reviewer singled these out in 2024 (made with King's Hawaiian rolls then). Pure nostalgia bait for the table.
All Dressed Burrata Dip
Burrata with hot honey and everything-bagel seasoning, with toasted focaccia.
The one starter the menu itself flags as Bernie's recommendation, and burrata shows up among reviewers' favourite starters.
Fun Guy
White pie with an herb and oil base, mozzarella, fior di latte, mixed mushrooms and truffle tartufo.
The no-tomato second pizza. The Main points to the mushroom-and-truffle toppings as part of what keeps the menu interesting.
Fried Chicken Sliders
Three house fried chicken thigh sliders with secret sauce and pickles, served with fries.
Sliders come up often in reviews and in both the Tastet and The Main write-ups. A good add if you're sharing.
Dill-ightful martini
House martini made with pickle juice and dill, as described in Tastet's October 2024 review.
The martini list is half the point of this place. This comes from a 2024 review and the official site publishes no drinks list, so confirm it's still on. The Dirty Margtini (tequila, triple sec, olive brine) was the other named example.
What people actually say
Recurring themes, not cherry-picked quotes.
Love
- Thin-crust, tavern-style pizza, with the Hot Pep the pie that keeps coming up by name in 2026 reviews
- The Caesar salad is the side order people rave about
- A playful martini list that runs from classics to pickle and tequila twists
- Friendly, hard-working servers and a fun, retro-kitsch room that suits birthdays and group nights
- Generous portions and fair prices for a night out
Know before you go
- Often full and noisy, with tables close together; reserve rather than gamble on a walk-in
- The pizza is thin by design; a few diners found it light on sauce and cheese
- Service can be uneven, and staff keep to the table time limits
- A few reviewers flagged extra charges or unclear prices on the bill
- It's in Dollard-des-Ormeaux on the West Island, well outside downtown; free parking at the door
- Book on Resy: the restaurant says it fills up fast and recommends reserving, especially on weekends
- Tables for two get 1.5 hours in the dining room; groups of 3+ get 2 hours
Dishes that keep coming up
Hot Pep pizza, Caesar salad, martinis, sliders, pepperoni pizza, burrata, meatballs, cheesy garlic rolls
- Room
- Kitschy tavern meets old-school Italian: orange, black and forest green, vintage pizza and martini posters, family photos and big booths. Lively to loud once it fills.
- Service
- Mostly described as warm, attentive and hard-working; a few reviewers hit slow stretches.
- Value
- Generally seen as fair for what you get. Tastet framed it as an affordable night out, though a few diners grumbled about add-on charges.
Vibe check
lively/loud/casual/group friendly/old school
Best fora loud, easy pizza-and-martini night, a birthday or group dinner, anyone already in the West Island
How much we'll spend
The official group set menu is $45 per person for a full family-style food spread (Caesar, cheesy bread, calamari, chicken sliders and fries, shared pizzas, skillet cookie), before drinks. Tastet put pizzas at $19-29 in Oct 2024. Two people sharing a pizza and a starter with one martini each should land in this range before tax and tip. The official menu shows no prices and martini prices are not published, so treat the range as soft.
