Monty Q’s
“The brick oven turns the crust into a crunchy mouthful of yum, and the sauce and cheese were perfect.”
“Grimaldi's down the street is supposed to be one of the best, but I'm pretty sure they don't deliver, so Monty's it was and boy was it good!”
“Delivery service can be spotty and they once brought me a smaller size ( personal verses 18").”

Major fan. They have a repeat customer right here.
Ordered delivery from here with relatively low expectations. Delivery was fast, on time, hot, and most important of all FREE!
If you area expecting super thin new york style slices with next to no flavor then you may want to look elseware at your local $1 slice joint. But if you are a fan of slightly thicker slices that are lightly baked and on the doughy side this place is your jam.
The sauce alone is incredible and was perhaps my favorite part of the pie. It is super garlicy and while not being over salted generally very flavorful but well balanced.
They do not short change you on cheese. Each slice is adorned with a beautiful thick rich layer of cheesyness…think teenage mutant ninja turtles stretchyness. Check this place out.
For a street that is so highly trafficked by hungry pedestrians, Montague Street is surprisingly devoid of good pizza options. Monty Q's, with its small army of branded delivery bikes parked out front, would have you believe that it is THE place to satisfy your pizza cravings, but I'd respectfully beg to differ.
I work just around the corner from Monty's so I've watched as it has undergone a recent facelift, resulting in a noticeable sprucing up of the backboard menus and some rearrangement of the counters. Though they mainly pitch themselves as a pizzeria, the first thing you see when you walk in is a full salad bar, with the requisite array of greens, fix-ins, and dressings. Walk a little further along the counter (still no pizza) and you've reached the custom-order pasta section. Placing your order is a cinch since they provide pads of order sheets upon which you can pencil in your perfect pasta, choosing everything from the noodle to the sauce. Note that all add-ins are $2 each, which I personally think is highway robbery for a handful of mushrooms and broccoli, but such is the life of a diner in the city. Quibbles with pricing aside, my penne with add-ins and marinara smelled and looked divine after plating, so much so that my fiancé promptly dumped his sad slice of pizza (more on that soon) to fork himself nearly half of my meal. The actual pasta was obviously pre-cooked, reheated, and therefore overcooked, but this ain't no real eye-talian pasta joint. For a whopping $11 and change, I thought it was a decent portion and a fine enough meal, if a little expensive.
Now for the pizza. I'd already demurred by virtue of my vegan diet (dairy-free diners beware – no cheeseless options for you here) but any dummy with eyes would see that my fiancé's buffalo chicken slice was dripping with mediocrity. The copious amounts of cheese had already become unappetizingly yellow and gummy mere minutes after its retrieval from the oven and the crust was thick, chewy, and bready, which is a big no-no for any non-grandma slice. I want to believe that this was the exception rather than the rule to the pizzas here at Monty Q's, especially since we saw a decent flow of customers come through as we dined in (another plus – plenty of seating), but that particular slice committed some serious pizza crimes that renders us reluctant to try another next time. The pizza selection is sparse for any place that is serious about its pizzeria status, but all of the regular favorites are covered. Service is polite, fast, and friendly enough to make this a solid middle-of-the road option for one's pizza and pasta fix.
Over priced subpar pizza.
$4.14 for a slice of cheese and a bottle of water
Those are premo prices
-this place smells good
-surprisingly busy on a monday night
-grandma slice is yummy and crust is good
-salads are big. you can create your own for about 10 bucks
-no unsweetened drinks 🙁
-beware of the corner booth seat. there's a haven of small flies that stick to that wall
Not all pizza in NYC is good pizza, just like how not all BBQs in Texas is good BBQ. If you grab a slice off the tourists traps, you're not having a NYC experience. You're having a tourist experience.
Despite the average ratings, Monty Q's get pretty busy during lunch. Glad I got there early.
I had the White Pizza with truffle oil and the Chicken & Bacon. They were both great. Wished I had the appetite for the eggplant pizza which looked awesome.
The best thing about pizza by the slice is that all the flavors meld together and the crust gets crispy on the reheat in the oven.
Will RTE when I'm in Brooklyn.
We had lunch delivered from Monty's during jury duty. They came on time and had the order correct. What's impressive is that they even separated the orders. Everybody's order was in a separate bag.
I ordered the whole-wheat penne pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage, $12.50. Cooking whole wheat pasta is not easy. The pasta came a little overdone but it was still okay with me. The rest of my pasta was delicious I loved the sausage and broccoli rabe. For the price, the portion was okay. If I were in the neighborhood again, I would try the pasta again.
…my jury duty adventures continues…
So I was very surprised at myself that I haven't tried this place earlier considering I'm in the area quite often. This will be a quick review based on the chicken and broccoli Stromboli I ordered.
The Stromboli was on point, decent size (wish it was bigger) but had a god taste to it and the side sauce accommodated it well. The Stromboli wasn't too doughy so it had a lite crisp texture which probably made it so good. One major issue…..WHY CANT I EVER GET A PIZZA PLACE TO SERVE A HOT STROMBOLI or Chicken roll??? I always get my meal still cold in the middle and I didn't have enough time to send it back. A hot Stromboli would have scored the 5th star.
Place was great size and clean; staff wasn't the friendliest but I will give it another try.
Overpriced average pizza. The main issue is with this place is its totally and completely unorganized. Not worth the trouble.
