Forget the frantic search for Drummondville’s hottest pizza slice. The secret? Patience. Those once-impossible-to-get pies have settled into their delicious stride, no longer demanding social media buzz for a seat. Here are 11 spots where the wait is over, and the pizza is as perfect as ever.
Boston Pizza
$$ | (819) 475-6222 | WEBSITE
How early should you arrive?Thirty minutes, with one important tip. Come on weeknights, ideally before 6pm, before the tables that were set for dinner are all taken up. The TVs are everywhere, tuned to sports, and the atmosphere hums with business chatter and family gatherings. While the service can be slow at times, recent visits have seen quicker turns, with some servers providing excellent, attentive experiences.
The food is the star—think chicken podos au miel et ail, the popular Hawaiian Royale pizza, or the recommended smoked meat pizza, all delicious and satisfying, though the pasta extras could use more veggies. It’s wheelchair accessible, with easy parking, and while suitable for families, there are some limits for younger kids. Overall, the food shines, the service is improving, and it makes for an enjoyable spot to catch a game or grab a meal.
Maxime

How much should you expect to pay? For a tasty and affordable poutine or pizza, around $15. If you’re willing to try the burgers, maybe $18, but some may not enjoy them as much. The decor is reminiscent of the 80s, giving the place a homey and unpretentious atmosphere. Parking is available on the street or in the public market lot. Service is generally good, but there have been some reports of unpleasant interactions with waitstaff.
The menu could benefit from some updates to highlight their specialties.
Resto La Muse Drummondville
$$ | (819) 471-4664 | WEBSITE
We used to spend a few hours every week fielding questions on where to find the best pizza in Drummondville. The city’s dining scene was perpetually lacking standout options. Then, in the past year, something wonderful happened. We discovered Resto La Muse Drummondville—mostly through word-of-mouth recommendations, but now it’s gaining well-deserved attention. Visit during the evening hours if you can. The signature salmon fillet and seafood casserole are worth it.
Restaurant Capiche
$$ | (819) 477-1515 | WEBSITE
When a culinary gem starts to lose its luster, you notice the telltale signs: tables become available at odd hours, and the once-impossible reservation slots open up—if you’re willing to plan far enough ahead. That’s precisely where Capiche finds itself these days. This downtown Drummondville favorite, where warm welcomes and attentive service feel as comforting as their braised pork cheek or that perfect shrimp and scallop risotto, is firmly in the second phase of its post-hype era.
Now, you can secure a prime-time table with ease, provided you book a solid three weeks in advance. The beautiful atmosphere and successful decor still shine, and the staff—those diligent ‘little bees’—remain as non-intrusive as ever, though the lack of wheelchair accessibility remains an unfortunate footnote. For those traveling through the area, it’s a must-visit, especially if you’re craving generous portions of quality, flavorful food, even if vegan options are scarce.
Just plan ahead, and you’ll snag that coveted spot.
Toujours Mikes
$$ | (819) 478-3030 | WEBSITE
The whole setup is a little surprising. One of Drummondville’s most reliable family spots is tucked away with plenty of parking out front. The welcoming restaurant has been steady for years, filled with regulars looking for a comfortable meal with the kids. Unless you’re seeking fine dining, you don’t need to rush over. The seafood casserole is, however, quite satisfying—and now you can enjoy it if you appreciate consistent service and vegetarian options like the sun-dried tomato salad sub.
Chez Louis Poulet Et Pizza
$ | (819) 474-3494 | WEBSITE
Chez Louis Poulet Et Pizza isn’t the quietest dinner. The family-friendly spot features a dedicated play area upstairs, complete with modules, air hockey, and electronic games, and word has spread about their delicious Galvo poutine and extraordinary chicken wings. But that doesn’t mean you can’t relax here. Walk-ins are welcomed in the spacious dining room near the cheerful cashiers, and, in our experience, those tables aren’t tough to snag as long as you arrive before the lunch rush.
Pacini Drummondville
$$ | (819) 474-6835 | WEBSITE
How early should you arrive? There tend to be spots available earlier in the evening, if you come right when they open. If you want to dine during peak hours, making a reservation is your best bet.
Resto Du Quartier
$$ | (819) 472-7200 | WEBSITE
How soon should you plan your visit? Look online for a last-minute table. You might get lucky. Or ring them up and inquire about availability a few days ahead.
Stratos Pizzeria
$ | (819) 474-0000 | WEBSITE
Well, look at that. When this pizzeria opened, things were a bit different. Now, they’ve settled into a comfortable rhythm. Even by Drummondville standards, the place feels relaxed, serving generous slices like the Special Stratos in a space with simple decor and warm lighting. It works, but you don’t need to order everything at once. Instead, grab a booth, enjoy the pleasant atmosphere, and try a dish or two, like the excellent chicken brochettes or the very good poutine.
Just be mindful with delivery—sometimes the wait means your pizza arrives less than hot, which isn’t ideal.
Pizza Salvatoré
$ | (866) 695-6666 | WEBSITE
Since it opened in 2024, Pizza Salvatoré’s bright, family-friendly dining room with checkered tablecloths has been overrun with fans of large, affordable pies. For the first time in its existence, a table is within reach, with one key caveat: It’s easier to get seated for parties of six. Convince a few friends to join you at the Drummondville restaurant, and make sure they’re all down to order the pizza.
Cantine Les Bessons
$ | (819) 477-6695 | WEBSITE
Cantine Les Bessons opened in Drummondville offering a pleasant dining experience with reasonable prices and drew plenty of attention with its extraordinary pizza crust, lots of pepperoni and cheese, and popular poutine with four choices of sauce. Now, the restaurant can be quite busy, especially on Friday evenings, as long as you arrive early. Pro tip: It helps if you’re a party that can grab one of the picnic tables outside for outdoor seating.
