Les avis sur Pizzéria Elena évoquent d'emblée une pizza au style new yorkais, avec une pâte légère et croustillante et des garnitures de grande qualité. Plusieurs commentaires signalent une quantité d'huile considérable sur certaines pizzas et recommandent de demander sans huile au moment de la commande, car le choix peut être limité ensuite. Malgré cela, les pizzas sont largement louées pour leur saveur, leur garniture généreuse et leur pâte fine et bien cuite qui rappelle le style NYC. Beaucoup apprécient les options variées et l'originalité, comme des pizzas aux champignons ou aux épinards avec une pointe de miel, et les sauces maison. L'ambiance dans le quartier Griffintown est décrite comme conviviale et le personnel est souvent qualifié de sympathique et attentif, mais le lieu peut être petit et privilégie surtout l'emporter. Le rapport qualité-prix fait débat: certains estiment que la qualité et les portions justifient le tarif, d'autres trouvent les parts petites et les prix élevés pour ce que c'est. Dans l'ensemble, Pizzéria Elena est perçue comme une adresse majeure pour les amateurs de pizza à Montréal, alliant pâte, ingrédients et ambiance chaleureuse.

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 pizzapizza or something. Prices are good for the size & on par with other non chain pizza joints
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.
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!
Finally a great pizza slice in Griffintown! Everything was amazing, the sorpressatta is the best one imo. Get yourself a slice id you are around totally worth it!
Friendly, accommodating service. Loved the classic rock playlist while I was waiting. I enjoyed my spinach, mushroom, & soppressata pizza slices, especially the thin crispy dough.
Went on a Saturday evening, the vibe was great the service was excellent & the attention to detail was all there & the pizza Rossa was delicious & well worth it.
Welcome to 2025, where your local
Neighbourhood pizzeria charges $50+ for a single PEPPERONI (nothing fancy here) pizza. I gave 5* for the service because the cashier was very friendly & the cooks inside too. But why is my'quick' take out pizza costing more than at a sit-down Italian restaurant? Anyway, would go back if I could afford it - I can't justify spending this.
