Moccione Pizza: Delicious neighbourhood pizzeria in Villeray

Opened on November 3, 2021, this pizzeria has been drawing crowds since day one — partly due to the reputation of the “Moccione” name, but above all thanks to the delicious pizzas on the menu.

This appealing new concept opened in the former Moccione location, which had become too small to accommodate the loyal clientele of the beloved Italian restaurant. It’s now the perfect spot to pick up a great pizza to go, and the menu is also available for delivery.

Moccione Pizza is a dream come true. Luca Cianciulli, co-owner of the spot along with his partner Maxime Landry, shares that pizza was one of his very first work experiences and that he never gave up on the idea of one day opening his own. And as luck would have it, his brother Giancarlo joined the venture, forming a dynamic pizzaiolo duo.

While pizza is truly the star of the menu, the starters are equally enticing — arancini, polpette, stracciatella, and seasonal salad among them. The Neapolitan pizzas served here are reimagined according to the team’s own tastes, without ever straying from Italian culinary traditions. The result is a lineup of pizzas with fun names like “Cala-boogie” (tomato, Calabrese salami, hot peppers, mozzarella, basil), “Johnny Roquette” (tomato, Taggiasca olives, mortadella, arugula, pecorino), and “Marc Rainville” (potato, rosemary, smoked mozzarella, pepper, and olive oil).

Also on the menu are Moccione Pizza’s desserts — tiramisu, cannoli, and gianduja gelato — all impossible to resist even when you’re full.

To round out this delicious meal enjoyed from the comfort of home, the address offers a short wine selection composed primarily of natural wines, curated by Catherine Picard.

When asked “What do you love most about the place, Luca?”, he answered: “The smell. There’s a nostalgic quality to the smell of pizza fresh out of the oven that makes me happy and takes me back years to Italy. Even if it’s only for a few moments when my customers come to pick up their order, I’m happy to share that with them.”
