Review Summary

Reviewers describe Pizzéria Elena as an elevated pizza spot in Griffintown with a warm vibe and friendly, attentive staff. The pizza is consistently praised for a light, crisp yet chewy crust, high quality toppings, and a range of flavors from mushroom and spinach to sopressata, calabrese and classic margherita, with sauces and dips adding extra bite and ice cream finishing the meal nicely. Many say the slices are substantial and good value for the quality, while others note the price can be high and the seating limited, making takeout the norm. The overall consensus is that the pizza by the slice or whole pie delivers a true New York style experience and stands out in Montreal, with enthusiasm for the vibe, decor and hospitality that encourages returning for both pizza and dessert.

I had to try Elena Pizzeria out after hearing so much about it since the opening. It was the best pizza I've had (mushroom one) in a long time. Picked up a whole pie. Crust was amazing, topping was super flavourful. It's too bad there's only like 2 small tables to eat in - so basically just a takeout counter. Would love to be able to eat there or in the summer maybe a terrace. & wish there was easier parking for the non Griffintown people willing to drive for amazing pizza. Will be back to try the other pizzas.

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.

Most of the 1 star reviews are ridiculous to some extent. I do agree that the price is very high. The slices size is inconsistent. Does it deserve a 1 star, no. It is overpriced but the pizza is excellent.

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.

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.

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.

So happy Elena opened a dedicated pizza spot! Slices are a good size, nice ingredients & fresh. The negative reviews are quite ignorant, if you are that price sensitive, visit a pizza pizza or something. Prices are good for the size & on par with other non chain pizza joints

Little gem in Griffintown, only two tables for seating so mostly to go. Crust on Pizza is Top Notch.

Meilleure sauce tomate de pizza à Montréal! Mon top 3 pizzerias à date!

Very good! It would deserve 5stars if you cut your whole pizza in 6 slices instead of 8. Your slice is ridiculously small for the price.

Response from the owner:'Lol'.

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.
