Review Summary

Elforne is widely celebrated as a hidden gem in downtown Montreal, consistently praised for serving some of the best wood-fired pizza in the city. Guests frequently highlight the exceptional quality of the fresh ingredients, the light and airy crust, and a variety of flavorful toppings, including standout options like the creamy mushroom, Mediterranean, and pepperoni pizzas. While the space is sometimes quiet, the welcoming atmosphere and the dedicated, personal service provided by the owner—who often manages the kitchen and front of house single-handedly—create a warm, authentic experience. Although some note that service can be leisurely due to the one-person operation, the consensus is that the high-quality, delicious food and hospitable environment make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a top-tier pizza experience.

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.

Quel régal ! La qualité des ingrédients se fait plus que sentir sentir dans l'assiette. Le propriétaire est très accueillant. C'est un lieu qui ne paie pas de mine mais vos papilles vous diront merci. Un vrai potentiel de pizzeria incontournable à Montréal en travaillant un peu la déco du lieu

La pâte est parfaitement levée, fine & croustillante, & les ingrédients sont d'une fraîcheur exceptionnelle. On sent la vraie qualité napolitaine. Je recommande vivement

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!!

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.

We stumbled upon Elforne on a Friday night without a reservation. Seeing it empty at first made us hesitant, but the owner greeted us so warmly that we decided to stay-& I'm so glad we did! The food was absolutely amazing. The owner was a one-man show, acting as our waiter, cashier, & chef. He was so attentive that he even asked if we wanted the pizzas customized to suit the kids. We ordered the Margherita, Mediterranean, & Poulet Mariné; every single one had a perfect blend of fresh ingredients. This is a true hidden gem with top-tier hospitality!

On a eu un très bel accueil du chef. Un monsieur attentionné envers ses clients.
On a pris une pizza au thon & une autre aux crevettes tomates.

C'était excellent! La pâte est légère & croustillante. Les ingrédients sont généreux.

Vraiment à essayer!

I tried to take it as easy as I could while still being honest, but the owner had a salty response so let me give an unfiltered review:

This pizza restaurant is comfortable enough but something about the dimensions of the place prevents it from achieving a desirable atmosphere. The pizzas here are rather uninventive. Nothing really shines about the ingredients they use, pretty average quality. The dough is alright but nothing masterful, doesn't seem like an authentic Italian recipe. I've been to a few similar pizza restaurants with far superior product. Pizzeria No. 900, Focoliao & Pizzera la Foccacia to name just a few. The service was good however. The owner needs to understand that reviews are a take of one's subjective experience, not everyone is going to like what you do & that's okay. Keep going for the ones who do.
