It has been many years that the likable Elio and his wife Nina from the province of Avellino close to Naples have opened the doors of Restaurant Elio Pizzeria. We must say that this restaurant is not just a simple pizzeria, Elio and family offer to their North American customers typical Neapolitans Home Style dishes. During all these years, Restaurant Elio has served numerous and faithful customers. When the restaurant first opened in 1964, it had the ability to serve only 18 diners. Today, Elio and family are proud of being able to accommodate more than 700 individuals due to their two reception halls (Buffet Anna Maria). With a gentle smile, Elio and Family wish you a great home style food experience, one you won't surely forget.
Elio Pizzeria Ristorante feels like a Montreal institution where authentic Italian cooking, especially pizza and pasta, meets warm, attentive service in a welcoming family atmosphere. Guests consistently praise a crispy, flavorful pizza, fresh pasta and rich sauces, generous portions, and good value, with several noting the option to take sauces and fresh pasta home. The staff are described as friendly and professional, making every visit feel like a homecoming, and the setting, sometimes with live music, offers a lively yet relaxed vibe. Recent updates keep the decor current while preserving a traditional, cozy feel. This spot is widely recommended for gatherings, date nights, and casual meals alike.
Ca fait plus de 40 ans que ma famille ayons à ce restaurant ! Leur sauce bolognese… WOW ! J'achète toujours 4 pots de 1L après notre souper pour manger du Elio à la maison ! (Car ce n'est pas très près de chez moi!) toujours des beaux souvenirs de famille

I ordered a small cheese pizza well done from uber eats. The top dough & cheese wasn't cooked through, dough was soft & the cheese wasn't completely melted.The cheese was only on one side of the pizza. There was too much sauce & the bottom of the pizza was burnt. The dough was thick throughout the entire pizza & chewy. I received a complimentary small peice of carrot cake with my order that was verry good & fresh & it was nice of them to include, that's why I gave 2 stars, but all I really wanted was a good cheese pizza.
This is without a doubt the best most satisfying pizza in montreal! I highly recommend them. Between the food & the fresh pasta, sauce & tomato pizza that you can just grab in their fridge. Today I picked up 4XL pizzas..for 14ppl at the office. 14 out 14 loved the pizzas so much. Thank you Frank & the staff at Elios. Always a hit!
The Good:
- Simple & delicious Italian Menu
- Their pizzas has a thicker crust with a nice chew to it
- Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente & the meat sauce had a rich flavor with perfect acidity
Things to Improve:
- The decor is outdated
- Cutlery need to be changed to newer ones
- Waiters can be more attentive
Entrée aubergine goûte rien .lasagnes au four grosse pâte coller avec sauce fade.spaghetti fruit de mer avec gobege imitation crabe.je ne comprend pas l achalandage.meme le pain sur la table n est pas bon.un pain industriel à rabais.sincèrement aller chez Pacini ou Mike.
This is so far the best pizza I've ever have in Montreal, the tomato sauce is something I've never tried before, spectacular. The owner is so friendly & kind, the staff are also so friendly. I loved getting to know this amazing place, I will definitely come back!

Ce restaurant vaut vraiment le détour ! La pizza est tout simplement excellente, le service impeccable & le personnel d'un dévouement remarquable. Même la sauce pour pâtes à emporter est savoureuse & pleine de goût. Alors, venez chez Elio pizzeria , vous ne serez pas déçus !
This restaurant is truly worth the trip! The pizza is absolutely excellent, the service impeccable, & the staff wonderfully dedicated. Even the pasta sauce to take home is full of flavor. So come to Elio Pizzaria - you won't be disappointed!
Tous les plats de pâtes que j'ai goûté à ce restaurant étaient excellents!
Mes préférés… fettucini mama & les sauces hihi, amatriciana & bolognese. Miam!
Mon amie m'a donné une de vos sauces comme cadeau & j'ai été totalement séduite...💋❤? trop bon maintenant je vais aller manger à votre restaurant assurément très bientôt 😀
It's always a pleasure to feel like you're welcome & at home eating with Nonna & Nonno. A casual restaurant with a variety of choices to satisfy your hungry appetite whether it's at lunch or dinner & also take out. They really put their heart & soul into everything they make. You can also buy fresh pasta & sauces to bring home. Having your meal at home with your family is another option when you have less time to dine at the restaurant. A RARE PERLE in LITTLE ITALY. A must go spot when you visit Montréal.

Un service bas de gamme sans bonjour & désagréable, une lasagne 90% pâte & 10% garniture & fromage (les couches de pâtes étaient collées entre elles), la sauce était industrielle avec peu de viande, pour 26$ c'est exagéré. Ce n'est pas la pire lasagne que nous ayons dégusté à Montréal d'où le 2, l'ambiance est moyenne.
Vous recherchez une place authentique, pâté maison, place familiale & sauce maison ? Vous êtes à la bonne place. Les staffs sont top 5/5 Merci à vous ! Grace a vous, nous avons a eu une très belle soirée en famille !
Wow! Simply the best pizza in Montreal, if not in the entire province! The sauce is delicious, authentic, & perfectly spiced. The crust is neither too thin nor too thick, with just the right amount of cheese. It's perfectly cooked, with abundant toppings, & most importantly, the taste is amazing! I will definitely order again. 11/10!

Ordering the thin crust pizza is a must, very good. The regular is too bready / yeasty, but the thin is very nice & lets the toppings shine. Also got the fusili gigi pasta. it was delicious & incredibly saucy, & the fusili was homemade. But the $24 price tag is quite steep for what amounts to sauce, pasta, some canned olives, mushrooms & bacon. Those ingredients can't be more than $2 a serving. All in all I recommend it if you're looking for some classic unpretentious north american italian food, definitely pricy for what it is, though, but so are most restaurants these days. Although, I will mention we didn't order a salad as the price was ridiculous. $20 for a ceasar? That's highway robbery. Who would pay that much for romaine lettuce with croutons & bacon bits?
Mama mia🤌🏻. I order the pizza Fini Boscaiola & it was absolutely delicious!! It was sauce cheese & mushrooms. The undercarriage is phenomenal🤌🏻. Very tasty, the sauce has a little kick which I personally enjoyed. If you want thin crispy undercarriage for your pizza this place is it!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it! They even added a little surprise of mini cannolis which were fresh & very tasty! I will be ordering again 💯. *I ordered off Uber*
Resto établit depuis 60ans on y sert de la pizza & des pâtes moi j'ai pris spaghetti sauce bolonaise & je suis assez difficile pour la sauce & elle était bonne mon ami a pris spaghetti boulettes de viande & aussi bonne moi je vais y retourner pour essayer la pizza & il y a pleins d'autres mets sur le menu je recommande & les prix normal
