Il y a déjà plusieurs années que le sympathique Elio et son épouse Nina originaire de la province d'Avellino près de Naples ont ouvert les portes du Restaurant Elio Pizzeria. Nous devons dire que ce restaurant n'est pas simplement une pizzeria, Elio et sa famille offrent de simples plats typiquement maison à la Napolitaine pour leur clientèle nord-américaine. Pendant toutes ces années, le Restaurant Elio a servi de nombreux et fidèles clients. Quand le restaurant à ouvert ses portes la première fois en 1964, il y avait une capacité de servir seulement 18 personnes. Aujourd'hui, Elio et famille sont fiers de pouvoir accommoder plus de 700 personnes incluant leurs deux salles de réceptions (Buffet Anna Maria). Avec un sourire, Elio et famille vous souhaitent une belle expérience de cuisine maison, une expérience que vous n'oublierez jamais.
Elio Pizzeria Ristorante est souvent évoqué comme une véritable institution italienne à Montréal, offrant une expérience chaleureuse et conviviale avec une cuisine italienne authentique, des pâtes fraîches faites à la main et des pizzas savoureuses à croûte croustillante et toppings généreux. Le service est largement apprécié: attentif, rapide et sympathique, et l’accueil donne le sentiment d’être chez soi, avec une ambiance chaleureuse et des touches de musique live qui renforcent l’esprit familial du lieu. Beaucoup louent la qualité et le goût des plats, le choix varié et le bon rapport qualité prix, ainsi que la possibilité de goûter à la fois pizzas et pâtes, tout en pouvant emporter des sauces ou plats maison. Des commentaires mentionnent aussi l’authenticité et le cadre familial, et l’endroit demeure une adresse prisée par les habitués comme par les visiteurs, tout en reconnaissant parfois des variations dans la consistance de la pizza ou des périodes de grande affluence qui peuvent rallonger le service.
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!
WAY MORE THAN PIZZA! The food & the service here are excellent. My husband had the pizza with anchovies & enjoyed it. I had the cannelloni. It was delicious. The veal dish & the fettuccine mama were also tasty. For appetizers, we enjoyed the eggplant & tomatoes with burrata. The eggplant was my favorite. We also enjoyed prosecco & some red wine. It was a lovely lunch. For dessert, we had homemade mini cannolis. Delicious! The menu is extensive. The restaurant itself is very clean. Very busy on a Sunday afternoon. Outside seating when weather is nice. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for quality Italian food.

We went to this pizzeria & it was a wonderful experience. From the very first moment, we were welcomed with kindness & warmth by the entire staff, & we truly felt at home. The pizza & their cuisine in general are delicious. The owner is a fantastic person, passionate & proud of his roots; you can clearly feel how much love he puts into preserving Italian cuisine & the traditions of his homeland. A place that warms the heart as well as the stomach. Highly recommended!
Update for Oct 2025
I agree with those who say that it used to be better - I mean the food quality
My updated grades are 4 stars (used to be 5).
One of the best gourmet experiences I ever had! The Pizza in the name & the location may not sound attractive, but I'm so happy that my airbnb & the reviews got me there.
Git a mix of pasta & pizza & loved it (I was smart enough not to eat too many of the complimentary rolled & butter on the table.
I don't eat meat, so this is definitely a great place for vegetarian, but looking on other people dishes - not only for those.
The got a generous patio, which is great these days.
Highly recommended!

Found this lil gem while walking around my workplace. Lovely vegetarian options & the service was wonderful, as a plus the vibe was very chill, which is a nice bonus for a lunch break. Highly recommend!
Great service & good food, you can understand how they've been open since 1964. Large portions, very attentive staff, & delicious wine. They were even kind enough to bring out a dessert with a candle for our friend's birthday upon request. Highly recommend!
I took my girlfriend to Elio Pizzeria for Valentine's Day, & it was truly a hidden gem in Little Italy. The service was amazing from start to finish - friendly, attentive, & professional. At the end of our meal, the owner personally came to talk with us & even offered us a free drink & dessert, which made the evening extra special.
The food was absolutely delicious, the prices were very reasonable, & the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Next time, I'll be bringing my mother here to celebrate her birthda
The pizza was really good & delicious. The aperol was nice & the salad & arancini were delicious. The pasta with peperoni was amazing! Definitely recommend.
Exceptional Service & Food-Perfect for Groups & Allergy-Friendly!
Elio Pizzeria went above & beyond for our group of 28! Despite our size, we were comfortably accommodated, & the service was outstanding from start to finish. The kids raved about how delicious the pizza was-but for me, the real highlight was the care taken to accommodate my gluten & dairy allergies.
The chef personally came out to discuss my dietary needs & prepared a special gluten- & dairy-free pasta just for me. As someone with food allergies, moments like this are rare & incredibly appreciated. I felt safe, seen, & truly taken care of.
Highly recommend Elio Pizzeria for its incredible food, warm hospitality, & genuine commitment to meeting guests' needs. A true gem!
J'ai choisi la Table d'Hôte du midi : Salade verte, délicieuse (8/10) & les pâtes Primavera : Très bon, portion généreuse 9/10 en plus du dessert inclus Gâteau aux carottes. Le seul point négatif, personne ne sourit dans ce resto, pas très accueillant, mais un très bon bon service puisque le resto était rempli à craquer. Je recommande ce resto sans prétention & bon.
Visiting from Tennessee for a concert weekend (Marillion Weekend 2025), went to Diplomate Music, & was recommended Elio's. We were greeted & seated by Elio himself. Service was awesome, food was awesome, & Elio came over & talked with us for 15 minutes or so. & don't miss the Dolce De Leche for dessert! What an incredibly nice guy, excellent food, excellent service! Highest recommendation! Thanks, Elio!

I have been eating their pizzas since I was a kid. My dad all the time, & now, whenever I'm in town, I have got to have some Elios pizza. Definitely recommend! You will not be disappointed.
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?
