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.
My husband & I spend a few days in Quebec City. We are from the US & we love our pizza! We had dinner here twice. The first night we a huge Mediterranean salad with chicken. It was delicious! I finished the whole thing. The next night I wanted pizza. We decided to return to Polina's. I'm so happy we did. Their pizza did not disappoint! The crust was thin. Which we love. The sauce was so good with gooey yummy cheese. The service was friendly & attentive. If you're ever in Quebec City, be sure & stop here.
We stopped by for dinner tonight, & everything exceeded our expectations. Our server (Esteban) was outstanding, the best service by far since being in Quebec City. He was very attentive & responsive. Really, everyone was great, from the lady that seated us when we got there to the staff that would bring out the food & pick up our plates. The food was excellent as well, from the antipasto, French onion soup, the lasagna, the chicken parmigiana, the salads & pizza. Would definitely be back if in Quebec City again.

Not coming back. It's a charming venue on a busy street so naturally attracted our attention. As we were famished from a day of exploring the city, we were eager to try out some authentic pizzas! We ordered a Mediterranean salad & 2 pizzas (one Margherita as I'm strictly vegetarian for religious reasons). Food & service are a bit on the slow side - a kid from another table approached a waitress & asked how much longer their food will be - we chuckled. Overall good atmosphere & good vibe, so we sat patiently. When the food finally arrived, the salad had no dressing. We pointed this out to the waiter who said he will get some dressing for us (which arrived much later as we finished our meals so we had dressed the salad ourselves with some olive oil). As I worked through my Margherita pizza, I noticed an odd looking piece wedged into the sauce - to my dismay it was a piece of meat. I immediately asked the waiter why there was a piece of meat on my Margherita pizza as I ordered it because I'm strictly vegetarian. He said it must have fallen from another pizza & said he will "see what he can do". I was famished at this point so decided that I'd carefully inspect the rest of my slices instead of waiting another eon, but felt uncomfortable as I finished my meal. He offered an apology as we paid our bill. Food tasted average, nothing exceptional. Sadly we won't be coming back.
Great service & food! Highly recommended, my family agreed to be our #1 resto we ate so far in Quebec. The pizzas are delicious, salad are small portion but good sides. The pasta is great as well.
Excellente pizza onna pris 3 différentes & elles étaient excellentes, on a pris aussi une salade super bonne vinaigrette. Belle ambiance, excellent service. Nous sommes très satisfaites.
My wife & I discovered Polina Pizzeria today. We split a Caesar Salad & Spaghetti Bolognese Sauce. The food was great, & Anthony, our server, gave us superior service. The food prices are good. This is a casual restaurant & well suited for a good meal without having to dress up. I highly recommend it.
