We had pizza & lasagne. Both were OK, but not close to five stars, but of course this is always a matter of personal taste & opinion. The pizza was too cheesy & saucy for me, which also lead to the bottom being on the soft/soggy side instead of nice & crispy. The lasagna ragu bolognese wasnt made with fresh pasta (which is not bad perse, but loses points), but also wasnt really a (slow cooked)'ragu' bolognese sauce. Service was fast & friendly.
Way more than a pizza joint. Ingredients were fresh, the pizza crust was flat-bread style & the service was kind, courteous & attentive. Prices were fantastique! Congratulations, you have found your "Old City" pizza place. Though we didn't get desserts, the table next to ours did & they said they were fabulous. 👍🏻👍🏻

"I had an incredible dining experience at Polina Pizzeria in Quebec City! The pizza was delicious, with fresh ingredients & a perfect crust, but the highlight of the meal was the crème brûlée. It was absolutely divine - creamy, rich, & perfectly caramelized on top. The staff was friendly, & the cozy ambiance made the experience even better. Whether you're craving great pizza or something sweet to finish your meal, Polina Pizzeria is a must-visit!"
After walking around Old Town on a chilly afternoon, my family & I decided to get some pizza. We saw Polina from across the street & knew instantly we wanted to eat there. We were welcomed with smiles to this quaint pizzeria. At the entrance, we walked in right behind the guy delivering fresh pizza dough. This was a great sign that everything is made fresh. There's a warmth to this place, & the scent of fresh Basil from the Basil pots they have alongside the windows & fresh pizza really make you long for some Margherita pizza's. So we ordered a large Margherita & a large Cheese Pizza. We also got some fries on the side. Everything was delicious!!! Fresh, fresh, Fresh & tasty! We sat in the corner by a window, so we go to people watch as well. We did not want to leave! Our server's name was Matt & he was really great at checking up on us & refilling the drinks! We highly recommend this place & we look forward to going there again!
Very addictive! We wanted to try other places while staying in Quebec City, but kept coming back for more. Tried their pizza, the smoked salmon pizza is by far the best I've ever had (11/0). The chicken Alfredo pizza is also insanely delicious. Everything is well balanced & full of goodness & fresh ingredients (I actually caught a glimpse of basil plant pots with kitchen staff picking out fresh leaves for orders ready to be served). Pasta, salad, & antipasti are all great as well.
After eating pizza at famous joints in NYC & other places, pizza has to be extraordinary to impress me & Surprisingly this place delivers to my expectations. They are using fresh ingredients (basil & other herbs growing on site). Great location, near to tourist attractions & wonderful atmosphere !! Highly recommend this place.
