We have different types too: from the Italian Poutine to ones with chicken and steak. Customers also love our homemade gravy, known for its wholesome, rich flavor. Come by for the best poutine in Montreal!

Why do you call it a “Peter’s Special”?

In the 1970s, co-founder Peter Tzouvelakos created a unique sandwich that caught the attention of regular customers—police officers from the station across the street. Intrigued by his creation, they asked for one themselves and spread the word to their colleagues, sparking the legend of the Peter’s Special.

Do you make your pizza and pasta sauces?

What’s in a Pizza-Ghetti?
