The historic Pie-IX location in Montreal-Nord, at 10910 Boulevard Pie-IX, is Dic Ann's first permanent restaurant, opened in 1956, two years after the food cart at Crémazie and Papineau. It's the oldest location in the network, and it's still there.
The Sauce
The Dic Ann's sauce is the original 1954 recipe developed by founders Dominic Potenza and Ann Collecchia. The exact composition is a family secret. What we can say: it's unique to Quebec, it's been the same since 1954, and it's what makes every Dic Ann's burger instantly recognizable.
Dic Ann's famous sauce is sold at Metro and Super C. Our spicy mayo is at Metro (original and chipotle) and IGA (original). Both are also for sale at every one of our restaurants. We don't sell them online. More about the sauce →

Our History
Dic Ann's was founded in 1954 by Dominic Potenza (nickname: Dic) and Ann Collecchia. The chain's name is a combination of their two first names. More than seventy years later, the family is still at the heart of the business: the third generation, Anthony and Delbina, keeps growing the brand. The two restaurants the family long ran itself, Pie-IX and Chomedey, are now franchises in the hands of long-time employees. The original recipe is still used in every restaurant in the network today. Read the full story →
