Les avis sur Pizzéria Elena mettent en lumière des pizzas à croûte très fine et légère, avec des ingrédients de qualité et une ambiance chic et décontractée à Griffintown; les tranches variées comme champignon, épinards, pepperoni et calabrese, et la margarita, sont appréciées pour des sauces équilibrées et des garnitures soignées, et la pâte fermentée est souvent citée comme un point fort, tout comme le service chaleureux et l'atmosphère cosy; toutefois le nombre de places assises est limité et beaucoup privilégient les commandes à emporter, et certains trouvent le tarif élevé par rapport à la taille des parts, avec quelques remarques sur une huile trop présente sur les pizzas si celle-ci n'est pas demandée sans huile au moment de la commande.
Great pizza place. Nice staff. Delicious, artisanal pizza. Highly recommend. Many people who say the price is too high don't realize the rent in Griffintown. Don't blame small businesses
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.
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

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!
Fantastic slices! Definitely my favourite place for a slice in MTL now 🍕
I didn't find the slices small at all (I'm actually shocked by other reviews) They're good portion & considering the quality, I think they're well priced.
If you appreciate a properly fermented dough that tastes great, is airy & has a thin crust, with quality ingredients, this is the place. I tried three different ones & they were all flawless (2pm Saturday).
Think of it as if Badiali's (Toronto) & Roberta's (Brooklyn) had a baby 😁
