About Green Mill Restaurant & Bar

A legend has to start somewhere, right? Ours began in St. Paul in 1935. For forty years, Green Mill was a neighborhood staple & is still the oldest licensed pub in St. Paul. In 1975, on a trip to Chicago the Green Mill owners fell in love with the deep dish pizza and added their version of it to the Green Mill menu. What happened next was pizza history. Word spread. Lines formed. Awards were won. A legend was born.

We are a 100% Quebecois brand, started in Montreal, owned by Montrealers and growing. Double Pizza has been awarded the Consumer Choice for the past 6 years.
Double Pizza is the largest independent franchiser in Montreal and growing. Our growing loyal customers have always been surprised and satisfied with our expert delivery service of quality pizzas at incredible prices. Our menu has expanded from pizzas and calzones, to steak subs, burgers, hot dogs & fries, and our famous chicken wings and poutine (try them and you will see). We have expanded to 35 locations in the greater Montreal area, South Shore and Laval. We prepare our pizzas with fresh dough, home-made sauce, fresh not frozen crispy vegetables topped with first-quality cheese before being put into our oven. We buy only Quebec produce and products from our crisp fresh vegetables to our mozzarella cheese. We are so pleased that every dollar spent and every dollar earned stays within the Quebec economy. Every pizza and every penny is enjoyed right here in Quebec!
