Pizzeria Elena is highly appreciated for its tasty pizzas, with a crust often described as excellent and service that is generally quick and friendly. Many customers especially recommend the mushroom, spinach, and pepperoni slices, as well as the hot honey sauce, with a simple atmosphere that is convenient for takeout or a quick bite. However, a few reviews mention high prices and inconsistent service at times. A small number also report occasional quality or cleanliness issues, so the experience can vary.

I am extremely disappointed with my order. I ordered two slices for takeout: one spinach and one mushroom. When I got home and tried them, I was shocked by how they tasted. The spinach pizza had some kind of spicy, sweet sauce on it, making it taste more like a sweet pie than an actual pizza. The taste was absolutely unpleasant. As for the mushroom pizza, it had what seemed like five large dollops of cream cheese mixed with spices, with an extremely sour taste. Neither pizza was enjoyable, and I couldn't even finish them. I ended up having to throw both away. I was so disappointed that I considered walking back to the restaurant to complain, but honestly, it wasn't even worth the effort. This was my first experience ordering from your restaurant, and it will be my last. Such a waste of money and a very disappointing experience.

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Pizzeria Elena in Montreal is simply amazing. The crust is absolutely delicious, perfectly baked, and full of flavor. Paired with a glass of organic wine, it’s the perfect combination. Great food, great atmosphere, and an unforgettable experience. A must-visit for any pizza lover in Montreal!

Every single time I wanna go this place, I tell myself I’m just gonna get one slice, next thing you know I walk out with either a full pizza or 3-4 slices minimum Why? Because they’re so freaking good! The flavours are the perfect balance, everything is always fresh, the taste doesn’t change, they treat you like family, and more than looking for profit they’re looking for your satisfaction. I mean what else do you want from a pizza place? They’re amazing Thanks to their team Love this place

Let’s be honest! Your pizza is genuinely delicious, your staff are awesome and friendly, and the service is impressively fast. Honestly, the only downside I can think of is the price. When you add taxes and the suggested 15% tip (Of course, tipping is optional), a $6 slice of pizza ends up costing almost $8! , but for a takeaway spot that doesn't really provide any extra table service, that feels a bit too expensive, doesn't it? At that price point, I start questioning the value, especially when there are sit-down restaurants nearby offering full table service for a reasonable price. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're bad. Quite the opposite! Your pizza is fantastic, your team is great, and I genuinely enjoy coming here. But your prices are simply too high for what you're offering.

They ask 6 dollars for a can of soft drink. Yes free market but not this much. Probably they think griffintown people don’t care about the price because of “socioeconomic status”.. 2 slices of pizza and a can of drink 24 dollars and still asking for the tips. Couple of chairs inside and if there is no room you go eat outside on a sidewalk.

Decent pizza. Rosso slice was old and crust brunt on reheating. Maybe l was just unlucky, given the number of people, looks popular.

Brought a friend here since I really liked the pizza, but they had a poor experience with one of the girls - a blondish one. She had an attitude and was rude. It’s a bummer because the pizza is good.

Absolutely stunning pizza! We tried all six flavours and every single one was stellar. The staff were amazing too — really friendly and even let us taste the wine before deciding on a bottle, which was such a lovely touch. The only downside was quite a few flies around, probably because of the humid weather. An electric fly trap might be a good idea, as they were a little distracting while eating. Otherwise, a fantastic experience — the pizza really was exceptional!

Delicious pizzas! We tried their ricotta mushroom, margarita and spinach pizzas! Spinach wasn’t our best but still a good pizza to try! Their ricotta mushroom was absolutely delicious and we will most certainly go back to bring home a whole pizza! We liked that there was still quite a bit of seating inside and outside despite the size of the place, which was very good.

The high number of customers in the shop so soon after midday was the first indication I was in for a treat! I had a slice of the Champignons (mushroom) to go and it was delicious - light and crispy dough, generous toppings, generous portion - sublime. I had it with a black cherry seltzer and it was the perfect lunch! The service was warm and friendly, and my only regret is that I won't get to eat there again anytime soon as I'm a tourist in the city - but I'll be back when I'm next here!

Elena’s pizzas and salad are so delicious and I appreciate the care they take with delivery—making sure kale Cesar is dressed but crunchy, or adding extra fresh basil leaves with the margarita.
