Pan-American Pizza: The Return of Danny St-Pierre – La Presse

Danny St-Pierre has settled in Mile-Ex to open his new restaurant, Pan Américan Pizza. The snack bar with an “Italian twist” offers its famous pan pizzas and subs.

Since October, the team has been welcoming customers to its small premises on Rue Jeanne-Mance (in the former Mile-Ex restaurant). You can eat there for lunch and dinner – reservations are recommended – or have Danny St-Pierre’s creations delivered to your home.

We therefore find the pan pizzas delicious and surrounded by crispy cheese. And the choice is numerous: pepperoni pizza (Pep su’l top), smoked meat (Smo kede meat), Fortuna (with oyster mushrooms from Ferme Fortuna), onion soup and many others.

Danny St-Pierre also offers a few subs – which are back in fashion – including the flagship Echo, a “nod” to that of a renowned restaurant chain, and the Pan Am, completely vegan with its chickpea plates.

We are also tempted by a French fry (still very savory) like the clown with its Big Mac toppings or by an appetizer of cacio and pepe croquettes. When it comes to desserts, we have a few options available, including Nanaimo bars.

  • Pan American Pizza has taken over the premises of the Mile-Ex restaurant.

“We’re celebrating what the continental restaurant looked like back then, where you had a little bit of everything,” explains Danny St-Pierre, who wants to keep his cuisine accessible and very family-friendly. Takeaway options include two or four pizzas and sides, ideal for families or groups.

We drink wine by the glass from the menu lovingly put together by Steve Beauséjour and Cat Fabi, beers from West Shefford, a homemade cocktail or a lemonade.

Already embraced by people in the neighborhood, Pan American Pizza plays on our nostalgic side by serving us rich and comforting dishes, but with a little touch of je ne sais quoi.
