Well, it’s finally here! The brand-new Industria Pizzeria + Bar – YUL officially opened its doors to the public inside the terminal on October 30. Located on the city side, right across from checkpoint A, the restaurant offers the best of Italy: classic pizzas, fresh homemade pasta, shareable sfizi dishes, desserts, and cocktails.

During our visit, the chain’s executive chef, Pietro Lavoratore, was there in the kitchen. A member of Industria’s original team since 2014, he was busy stretching his pizza dough and tossing it into the air in the purest Italian tradition. Beside him, pizzaiolo David Wais was spreading fresh mozzarella over the traditional tomato sauce base before grabbing his peel and pulling two steaming hot calabrese pizzas out of the oven.

 

Visually, there’s no missing the new restaurant. With its high black ceilings and mid-century-inspired look, Industria offers its customers about a hundred seats, whether at the tables or at the bar in the back. Its prime corner location gives the space a grand, wide-open feel—a touch appreciated by any traveler about to head abroad for a long flight.

Members of the airport community are of course welcome! The stacks of pizza boxes behind the counter make it clear that takeout orders are popular. In fact, we spotted several uniformed staff members around the terminal carrying Industria boxes. Were they planning to enjoy it solo or share it with colleagues? Either way, it smelled great!

Keep your eyes peeled—more new shop openings are coming very soon!
