Pizzéria Elena comes up in many reviews as a standout in Montreal, with many calling it the best pizza in town and praising elevated New York style slices, a light crispy crust, and top notch toppings like mushroom with goat cheese or spinach with a touch of honey. Diners describe a casual yet stylish vibe with friendly, attentive staff and a welcoming feel, especially in Griffintown where the place has become a neighborhood favorite, though seating is limited and takeaway is common; some note a similar appeal at the St Henri location. A few reviews caution about oil or honey finishes on certain slices and advise asking for no oil at the time of order, while others feel the price is high for the portion and size, arguing that the craft and rent in the area justify the cost. The pizza is frequently described as flavorful, artisanal, and satisfying, with a crust that stays crisp and toppings that are clearly carefully prepared, and desserts like ice cream often highlighted as a nice finish. Overall the place is repeatedly recommended for those seeking a serious, well executed slice in Montreal.View restaurant profile
