Restaurant Hochelaga is one of those unassuming neighbourhood spots that delivers where it counts: solid pizza, generous portions, and a few unexpected menu twists. Operating strictly as takeout and delivery since the pandemic, it skips the frills and focuses on thick-crust, cheese-laden pies that locals swear by. Beyond the pizza, the menu leans into classic diner-meets-Greek-joint territory, with burgers, fresh pasta, and hefty subs. The veggie burger with pineapple and BBQ sauce is a standout wildcard—an oddball combo that somehow works. If this place were in Mile End, it would have a cult following and a lineup down the block. Instead, it remains a low-key gem for those in the know.
