I'm Italian & I can recommend this as a very good pizza place, where the pizza was prepared with fresh & tasty ingredients. The crust was perfect. Friendly service.

Absolutely amazing pizza. We had the pepperoni & the creamy mushroom pizza. Pepperoni was so fresh & the Alfredo on the mushroom pizza was so rich but light at the same time. To top it off there was 1 man operating front & back of house & the pizzas came in a timely manner. 100% worth a visit!

Stumbled upon this for late night pizza close to our hotel, tried the BBQ chicken pizza & Mediterranean salad, absolutely amazing!
Tasted fresh & flavourful. Would try more from the menu next time.

Probably the best pizza I ever had, made with fresh ingredients & friendly staff. The place just opened so it's very quiet but just go for it you'll not regret it!!

The pizza dough is fresh, chewy & supple. We had four cheese & chicken pizza as our main course. Impeccable taste & one of the best pizzas in Montreal. Definitely a hidden gem.

So glad to have found this gem that serves elevated pizza. I tried the marinated chicken pizza & the vegetarian one, both delicious options. What stands out about the pizza is the light & airy dough, along with the fresh toppings. The friendly owner served us also a spicy oil that added a tasty touch. Best part is that the menu is fully halal, making it suitable for everyone. I will definitely be back to try more pizzas.

Visiting from PEI. Was told by our hotel staff that this was the best pizza in town. They weren't lying!

Had to order take out as we had fussy kids with us. But we ordered the pepperoni & the 4 cheese pizza. Both were ready to pick up in 15 minutes. Very fresh tasting & full of flavour.

Happy to recommend!

Pizzeria elForne is such an amazing hidden gem, that my friends & I stumbled upon after searching for a nearby restaurant open late within walking distance to our hotel. We were happy to find this place, & were surprised to see it empty, but we walked in & were greeted by the owner who eneded up being the only employee working. It was stunning to see him be so diligent in every task, from working as our server, & chef.
The food was so fresh & tasting amazing. This restaurant has such a stunning authentic atmosphere to it, & I highly recommend & I will be stopping by on my next trip to Montreal.

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.
