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.

Currently sitting in my car after mowing through quite possibly the best pizza slices I've ever shoved into my mouth. Great staff but the pizza…good lord!
The absolute best, best, best team! Elena is right around the corner from my street, & unfortunately for my wallet, they serve one of my favorite slices & Caesar salads in town. Not only is the food amazing, but the staff is absolutely brilliant. The sweetest people out there ☀?
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.
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.
Good pizza, the service was fantastic, the guys there are amazing, really friendly & kind. Charlotte is wonderful. Fresh & warm pizza slice for a craving. A great spot right In the heart of Griffintown.

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!
