Elforne offre une expertise culinaire précise axée sur la préparation de pizzas artisanales et des techniques traditionnelles de fermentation de la pâte. Chaque pizza se distingue par des croûtes étirées à la main qui atteignent un équilibre textuel grâce à des processus de cuisson maîtrisés à haute température. Le menu met l'accent sur l'intégration de bases de tomates fraîches avec de la mozzarella de qualité supérieure et diverses charcuteries pour assurer des profils de saveurs constants. La clientèle découvre un environnement de restauration direct, conçu pour l'efficacité et le confort fonctionnel lors de chaque visite. La sélection couvre des interprétations classiques de bases italiennes ainsi que des variations régionales spécifiques qui soulignent des combinaisons de saveurs savoureuses. Cet établissement privilégie l'exécution technique pour maintenir des normes rigoureuses sur chaque commande servie quotidiennement.
Elforne est largement reconnu comme un joyau caché au centre-ville de Montréal, régulièrement salué pour servir certaines des meilleures pizzas au feu de bois de la ville. Les clients soulignent constamment la qualité exceptionnelle des ingrédients frais, la pâte légère et croustillante, ainsi qu'une variété de garnitures savoureuses, notamment les pizzas aux champignons à la crème, méditerranéenne et au pepperoni. Bien que le lieu soit parfois calme, l'atmosphère accueillante et le service personnel dévoué du propriétaire, qui gère souvent la cuisine et la salle seul, créent une expérience authentique et chaleureuse. Bien que certains notent que le service puisse être lent en raison de l'opération en solo, le consensus est que la qualité des plats délicieux et l'environnement hospitalier en font une destination incontournable pour quiconque recherche une expérience de pizza de premier ordre.
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.
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!
Pizzeria El Forne is a true hidden gem. This little hole-in-the-wall place delivers amazing Mediterranean food along with excellent pizzas. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with care.
What really stood out was the service-the chefs actually came out to check on us & make sure everything was perfect, which made the experience feel very personal & welcoming.
Cozy, authentic, & delicious. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to & recommending to others.

For some reason this place was empty when we walked in, so we were a little skeptical. However, not only is the owner extremely kind, the pizza is incredible. We got 2 pizzas (vegetarian & margeherita) & a bruschetta. The dough is airy & light, & you can taste the wood fire char in the pizza. The tomato sauce, basil, & even olives are far fresher than I had expected, with a very bright bruschetta. Ask for the complimentary chili sauce! It seems to be a housemade Italian chili oil & is rather addicting. I do not normally review, but I cannot recommend this place enough, it deserves far more customers.
A very welcoming restaurant with delicious pizza. The Margherita is topped with plenty of fresh basil, flavorful mozzarella, & a rich tomato sauce. The pepperoni pizza is generously loaded with slices, melty cheese, & a tasty sauce. The dough is light & perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is casual & relaxed, with a friendly chef & attentive waitress. A great spot for a quick & satisfying meal.
