Transcript

00:00There are many different ways to interpret Leonard Cohen's masterpiece Hallelujah.

00:04My take on it?

00:05Well, he's a Montrealer, so he's probably talking about delicious food.

00:08Okay, maybe that's a little far out there, but this is Food Trip, the show where I travel

00:12across the Canadian city eating the tastiest bucket list foods that I can get my hands

00:16on.

00:17So I'm going to get ahead of myself.

00:18I'm Alex, and I love eating food, but I don't have a lot of time or money, so here's what

00:22I'm going to do.

00:23In under four hours, and with only $100 in my pocket, I'm going to try to hit as many

00:27of Montreal's hottest, tastiest food spots as I can.

00:30Two rules.

00:31One, no chain restaurants, and only one food per episode.

00:35Today, I'm eating pizza.

00:42Let's start things off by tossing four hours up on the clock and head to our first location,

00:47Pizza Danny on St. Catherine's Street.

00:49Pizza Danny is the pizza place next door.

00:51It's the place you end up at at two o'clock in the morning after a night out.

00:54My personal experience with it is whatever they have when you get there is what you eat,

00:58but my favorite has always been the spinach.

01:00So let's start things off healthy.

01:01Spinach pizza, a little bit of parmesan, chili flakes, oil.

01:18I don't know what it is about the crust, but the crust is actually amazing.

01:26The crust actually tastes like a loaf of bread that they then put cheese and some sauce on.

01:31That's one of the main reasons why I think a lot of people end up here.

01:33The ingredients are solid, the crust is fantastic, and it's always consistent.

01:38Good pizza.

01:45All right, time check.

01:46Three hours and 29 minutes left on the clock.

01:48Money check, 91.51 left in my pocket.

01:52Look, we're doing great.

01:52Next stop is Il Focolaio, also on St. Gavin Street, further in the downtown core.

01:57And the reason we're going there is because ever since they opened their doors in 1984,

02:01they've been pumping out pizzas out of a wood oven.

02:04This is the good stuff.

02:05This is the way they make it back in Italy.

02:22Oh, look at that.

02:43Oh, it's so damn cheesy.

02:45Black truffle, usually a very overpowering flavor.

02:49Not that overpowering.

02:50The crust is amazing.

02:52It's a good pizza.

02:53It's a good pizza across the board.

02:56Sauce is good.

02:56Ingredients are good.

02:57Crust is good.

02:59Cheese is excellent.

03:01My biggest takeaway, this is actually kind of crazy.

03:03Usually when tomatoes are on pizza, it's a very watery vegetable, right?

03:06So you bite into it, the juices of the tomato just kind of go everywhere.

03:10It stays in place.

03:11You're eating the tomato, it doesn't ruin the whole pizza.

03:13Beautiful.

03:13I'm trying to eat pizza here.

03:18Pizza in peace.

03:19Come on.

03:30That's how good this pizza is.

03:31Everybody wants a bite.

03:32Come on.

03:36Oh, .

03:37Oh, .

03:43I need more pizza.

03:52All right, time check.

03:53Two hours, 41 minutes left on the clock.

03:5572.25 left in my pocket.

03:57Moving on to the next spot, Amelia's on the edge of the Plateau Memorial.

04:01This place has history.

04:03Passed down from generation to generation, from father to daughter, since 1985.

04:07All right, so it's going to take about 20 minutes for the pizza to get made, but it's cash only.

04:11So I got to go withdraw some from the ATM.

04:27This is Amelia's famous white pizza, just to give you an idea of what we're dealing with here.

04:33Five cheeses, mozzarella, brick, ricotta, parmesan, and feta.

04:37If you like cheese, this is the pizza for you.

04:41This is 100% cheese.

04:45Like, this is like a cheese stick turned into a pizza.

04:47This is somebody who loves cheesy bread and said, why are we not just making a whole pizza out of this?

04:52That's what this is.

04:54People have been saying they drive in to downtown Montreal just for this pizza.

04:58And I got to say, I get it.

04:59All right, time check.

05:07One hour, 27 minutes left on the clock.

05:10Got a little sidetracked there with the whole ATM thing, but it's all good.

05:12We're making moves.

05:13On to the next one, 4725 left in my pocket.

05:16And our next stop is Magpie in the Mile End.

05:19Now, Magpie is younger than all the other places we've been to.

05:22But what they lack in age, they make up for it in creativity.

05:26We're going to taste their own unique creative take on the classic Neapolitan-style pizza.

05:31Let's go.

05:32Set 15 minute wait.

05:43Hopefully we'll be able to make the last spot on our list.

05:47All right, we got our pie.

05:48Let's go give it a taste.

05:54That's a beauty.

05:55You got the prosciutto.

05:56What is that?

05:56Arugula.

05:58Some cheese.

05:58What is that?

05:58Mozzarella.

05:59Tomatoes.

06:00Tomato sauce.

06:02This is maybe the prettiest one I've seen today.

06:08That's amazing.

06:09Way too much arugula.

06:11That's my only comment here.

06:13But the dough is fantastic.

06:14The prosciutto is so on point.

06:16The cheese is so on point.

06:18The sauce is so on point.

06:19Of all the pizzas I've eaten today, this is the lightest.

06:23In terms of flavor, it's one of the tastiest I've had, definitely.

06:26And it all comes down to the ingredients.

06:28These are fresh ingredients.

06:29This almost doesn't taste like a pizza,

06:31because of how fresh everything is.

06:35All right, let's move on to the next place.

06:37All right, time check.

06:3927 minutes left on the clock.

06:41Not a whole lot of time.

06:42But you cannot have a conversation about pizza in any city without going to Little Italy.

06:47It's just wrong.

06:48Pizzeria Napolitana opened up just after the Second World War.

06:52And for 70 years, it's been a place that Italian immigrants have gone to to,

06:55you know, just get a taste of back home.

06:57Well, they use the freshest ingredients and they go for authenticity.

07:01So let's see what they can do for me.

07:04We don't have a whole lot of time.

07:05So I'm going to hop in the car and we're going to head over there real quick.

07:22All right, the Tutta Bella.

07:35This is mushrooms, peperoni, mozzarella, tomato sauce.

07:39I mean, I don't want to get ahead of myself here.

07:45This is the best pizza I've had all day.

07:47This is the best pizza I've had all day.

07:49It's got a ton of meat, but it's not impossible to eat.

07:54The crust, thin, crispy, and I don't know how it can be so thin and not fall apart.

07:59As the owner mentioned, they go to Italy for these ingredients, for the tomatoes, for their sauce.

08:05This is, undeniably, one of the best pizzas in Montreal.

08:09Period.

08:10When you fold it over in half, look at the thickness there, because it looks thin.

08:14You see that?

08:15Stacked.

08:17I guess you just can't beat a classic.

08:21And that's it.

08:22We finished on time.

08:24While I was in there, the clock ran out.

08:25I have only 27 cents left in my pocket.

08:28I don't know how we did it, but we did it.

08:30Pizzeria Napolitana had the pizza of the day.

08:33Hands down.

08:34Chez Danny, best crust.

08:35Amelia's, great for white pizza, if that's your thing.

08:38Magpie, solid pizza overall, but very saucy.

08:41And Il Focalayo, black truffle or not, that is a solid AF pizza.

08:47All right, next time you're in Montreal,

08:48here are five new places that you can check out on your own pizza food trip.

09:03Good news.

09:08Good news.

09:11What is your favorite superherooot?

09:11Whew.

09:12You know we did it.

09:13You're the best one.

09:15He has a Harley Volkswagen Tesla.

09:15It's just got your favorite career.

09:16Look at the keratom at the testache.

09:16This is right, everybody.

09:17You always get집menteased.

09:18Look.

09:19Watchers.

09:20You know we're in Montreal.

09:20What's your day has gathered in the tent?

09:22Yes, there's one house with a flag on your own discipline.

09:23And it turns out, I guess we'll reach your agent back in front line and lay.

09:25So this will be very easily сист euhle for diğer career craziness.

09:27We know why this time I do want to undo that.

09:29I'm going togo that boundaries there a land where ever versions.
