Review Summary

Pizzéria Elena comes up in many reviews as a standout in Montreal, with many calling it the best pizza in town and praising elevated New York style slices, a light crispy crust, and top notch toppings like mushroom with goat cheese or spinach with a touch of honey. Diners describe a casual yet stylish vibe with friendly, attentive staff and a welcoming feel, especially in Griffintown where the place has become a neighborhood favorite, though seating is limited and takeaway is common; some note a similar appeal at the St Henri location. A few reviews caution about oil or honey finishes on certain slices and advise asking for no oil at the time of order, while others feel the price is high for the portion and size, arguing that the craft and rent in the area justify the cost. The pizza is frequently described as flavorful, artisanal, and satisfying, with a crust that stays crisp and toppings that are clearly carefully prepared, and desserts like ice cream often highlighted as a nice finish. Overall the place is repeatedly recommended for those seeking a serious, well executed slice in Montreal.

Update 22 Feb. 2025

I came back & asked while placing the order that they do not add oil. The pizza was very delicious with great ingredients. Make sure you request no oil at the moment of the order. It might be too late after that.

Oil with pizza flavour

First time I walk in a pizzeria, order a pizza & I am not able to eat it

The pizzas are full of oil or sauce & they don't tell you beforehand they cover them into oil

I had to give away the one I ordered because they dip it into oil & I didn't know it. It feels weird to see your friends eating & you stand there waiting

I suggest people who dislike pizza with oil (or honey depending on your choice) to inform the cashier you do not want to have your pizza dipped into oil

'Dipped' might be excessive but the quantity of oil they put is just insane & very uncommon in any pizzeria I have vsisited anywhere in the world

Best pizza around! The slices are generous & the sourdough crust is incredibly satisfying. As someone who really cares about ingredient quality, I love that I can enjoy a slice without it upsetting my stomach. Love the homemade sauces & great wine selection, too. 10/10!

The pizza here is on another level. The big New York style slices & 18 inch pies nail that sweet spot: crisp, foldable crust with just the right amount of chew. It's not greasy or sloppy & the homemade fresh ranch sauce is full of fresh dill.

Top contender for the best slice in montreal. Not surprising coming from this group. The dough is light & crispy, but has a nice soft chew that seems to be sometimes forgotten in the pursuit of a NY style slice. The toppings used are clearly of the highest quality & prepared with professional execution. The sauces & dips have the same amount of care attention put into them as the slice itself.

We had the danny (spinach), pepperoni, calabrese & the plain margarita. Every one of them unique in their flavour profile, & very delicious. The danny was creamy & so well balanced. The pepperoni tasted like none other in mtl… clearly they don't use standard Roma pepperoni. The Calabrese definitely had artisanal salami, you can tell by the distribution of fat pockets within the meat (generic brands tend to mix the meat a lot more). & finally the marg was perfectly simple… able to taste & identify every single ingredient.

Kale Cesar was a 10, cookie was an 11 & dipping sauces gave the slices that extra pop to bring it all together. Finally, the Ice cream brought everything together at the end & made me feel like a kid again.

Those who claim this place is'too expensive' most probably don't understand the cost of executing at this level.

Enfin une excellente pizzeria dans le quartier ! J'ai mis beaucoup de temps à trouver un resto qui fait des pizzas dignes de ce nom. La pâte, la garniture, la cuisson, la sauce, tout est parfait. & les portions sont généreuses.
