3891 Saint-Laurent Montreal, Quebec Metro:  Sherbrooke, Saint-Laurent Bus:  STM 29, 55, 144 Visit:  June 27, 2012 It’s been a while since I had some pizza, save the slice or two I weaseled my way into getting from a elementary school classroom last week.  So, with that being said, I was hoping to get another shot at big time pizza in a sit-down restaurant.  The thing about it was I...
