This is definitely a hidden gem in Montreal! When I walked in, the place was almost empty & the owner greeted me. The vegetarian pizza was amazing! It was flavourful & the thin crust was perfect. Definitely would recommend try out this place for your next pizza night!

Road tripped from Toronto to Montreal for the weekend & stumbled upon this absolute GEM! 🏎?💨 I've eaten pizza all over the world, & I can honestly say this place lands in my Top 10 of all time. 🏆
We ordered the Salmon, Mushroom, & Pepperoni pizzas-each one was better than the last! The crust is perfection. 🤤 Don't even get me started on the salad & that Tiramisu... the perfect finish. 🍰 Also, the chili oil they give you is literally TO DIE FOR. 🔥

If you're in the area (or even if you're not), you HAVE to eat here! 5/5 stars easily. ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?

Really nice ambiance. Pizza was excellent. I had the funghi & the flavours were deep & crust airy crispy light. The homemade chili crisps go super well with the cheese & tomato. Friendly owner clearly passionate about the food. Classy quiet decor too

I went to Elforne for lunch with a group of 10. We called in advance to let them know we were coming. When we arrived, the restaurant was empty - & unfortunately, we quickly understood why.

We waited about an hour for our pizzas. When they finally arrived, the crust was burnt while the middle was still raw. The ingredients did not taste fresh, & the cheese felt industrial & low quality. For $30 per pizza in downtown Montreal, this is completely unacceptable - especially in such a competitive market.

What made it worse was the service. Only one person was working in the restaurant. He never once came to check on us or ask if the food was okay. There was no follow-up, no acknowledgment of the long wait, nothing.

I genuinely wanted this place to be good. The concept has potential. But based on this experience, I cannot recommend it. With this level of execution & attention to detail, it's hard to see how it can compete long term.

Very disappointing.

Hidden little gem right here! Just had the pepperoni pizza & it was awesome! Cooked to perfection. The crust & sauce were great, next time I would just get the margherita pizza. Also ask for the hot sauce if you like....fire!

Fairly slow on a Wednesday night, I was only one sitting down. Hope more people find & enjoy this place!

The pizza was delicious. Right amount of sauce & toppings & crust cooked to perfection.
The bruchetta & basil is equally delicious with the freshness of the basil.

Right atmosphere, soft music.
