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.

Woow did not expect that! The score on google doesn't do the justice! Pizza is light, very thin. Great vibe!

Delicious, properly made pizza. Yes seating space is limited, but that's not hampering the good vibes. The back is also clean & enthusiastically kept with a caring attention to detail.

This is by far the best elevated New York-style slice in Montreal. The crust is perfect, the char is spot-on, the ingredients are top-notch, & the overall flavor is incredible. It's the closest thing we have to places like L'Industrie in Brooklyn, Cello's in the East Village, or Grandma's One Pizza on Bleecker Street.
The vibe is exactly right, the staff is friendly, & every slice tastes amazing. The guy who seemed to be the chef or owner even came over to chat with me for a couple of minutes & offered me a sample of ice cream because he could see how interested & enthusiastic I was about the place. That kind of genuine hospitality just adds to the whole experience.
People saying the slices are too small or too expensive don't really get the style-this isn't a classic Joe's slice in NYC, nor is it one of those big cheap'dollar slices' (which aren't even a dollar anymore & don't compare at all in taste or quality). It's an elevated slice, & for that category, the price is right. Trust me, I've been to many of these spots, & when you factor in the currency difference, the pricing lines up perfectly with similar places mentioned above & is cheaper than l'industrie.
I've seen comments about a $40 pie, but honestly, that's the going rate at big chain restaurants for the same size-except here, you're getting a way better product & experience here. Special shout-out to the mushroom pie: usually mushroom slices are either bland, too dry, or too soggy, but this one was absolutely perfect.
I fully recommend this place, & I'm planning to come here pretty much every time I'm in Montreal. If you're craving real New York-style pizza, this is the spot. If Dave Portnoy ever rated it, it would probably land in the high 8s-which, if you know his scale, is pretty amazing.

Really good tasing variety of pizza slices. Only thing I would improve would be the price to size ratio, it's expensive for what is given. That said quality is great & staff are very friendly, good vibes

EDIT:
Asked for a mushroom pizza & staff saw that the slice was small so they gave me an extra slice!
