Review summary

What guests say about Restaurant pizzeria elforne

The reviews are overwhelmingly excellent: the pizza is often described as one of the best in Montreal, with well-baked dough, fresh ingredients, and several pizzas that are highly praised. The service is also very often described as warm, attentive, and welcoming, and the place as quiet or cozy. A few customers note, however, that the wait can be a bit long when the owner is working alone, and two reviews mention a few things to watch for regarding service/orders.

Everything in this cute place was delicious! We had a margarita pizza, Mediterranean salad, and the bruschetta. We loved every bite.

Wonderfully cozy restaurant with fantastic pizza. The service was good and the owner was very friendly. Make sure to try it and share it. It was a Monday night but was empty at 7:30. They've been open less than a year but based on most reviews people are having good experiences. I hope to go back when I visit Montreal in the future.

We found this little pizzeria while visiting Montreal. We were a party of 8 (4 adults and 4 children). The place was empty but we decided to give it a try and it didn't disappointed. The pizzas and the service were excellent, and the place started to fill up quickly after we ordered. They run out of tiramisú that night so, maybe it's a sign and we need to come back again another time 😉

Thank you so much, Arancha. We love the fact that you took a chance on a quiet little place during your visit to Montreal — and that it turned into such a good experience for the whole family. At Elforne, our pizzas are prepared to order with hand-kneaded dough, and sharing them around a table with adults and children together is very much the Mediterranean spirit we love. As for the tiramisu… we owe you one. 😉 It’s made in-house, and unfortunately that evening the last one disappeared before you could get to it. So maybe you’re right — sometimes running out of tiramisu is simply life’s way of saying: “You’ll have to come back.” 😊 Thank you for choosing Elforne during your stay in downtown Montreal. Our table — and hopefully a tiramisu this time — will be waiting for you. — The Elforne Team

Quick service, amazing food and awesome hospitality. Definitely a must visit. The gentleman served us with so much love. It is definitely better than some other over hyped restaurants in the town.

Thank you, Parthi. Your words about the food made us happy, but what touched us most was what you said about the hospitality. At Elforne, we believe a restaurant is not only about what comes out of the kitchen. It’s also about how people are welcomed, how they feel around the table, and the care they receive while they’re with us. That spirit of hospitality is at the heart of the Mediterranean way of sharing food. And being called a “must visit” — especially compared with some of the more hyped restaurants in Montreal — gave us a pretty big smile. 😊 Thank you for discovering Elforne and for taking the time to share it with others. We hope to welcome you around our table again soon. — The Elforne Team

Thank you, Yvette — “the best pizza I’ve had in some time” is the kind of sentence that stays with us. 😊 We put a great deal of care into every pizza, from our hand-kneaded dough to the ingredients and the final bake, so knowing that you enjoyed yours this much truly means a lot. Thank you for discovering Elforne and for sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you back next time you’re looking for a great pizza in downtown Montreal. — The Elforne Team

Thank you, Aser. We’re really happy Elforne was part of a good evening with your friends. A restaurant is at its best when the food, the welcome and the people around the table all come together — so reading that you enjoyed the whole experience means a lot to us. And we’re especially glad the smoked salmon pizza was a favorite. Thank you for recommending our little Mediterranean restaurant in downtown Montreal. We hope your next gathering brings you back around our table. — The Elforne Team

Wow, Glo — “the best pizza I’ve had outside of Italy” is a compliment we’ll remember for a long time! We’re so happy you loved the Margherita. Sometimes the simplest pizza says the most: hand-kneaded dough, good ingredients, careful preparation, and nothing to hide behind. And we love that you mentioned our homemade spicy sauce — it has its own little fan club around here. 🌶️😊 Thank you for bringing such wonderful energy to Elforne. We hope to see you again next time you’re in downtown Montreal. — The Elforne Team

We had Smoked salmon and it was fresh and well cooked. The ambiance is lovely and there is light music and scented candles. The person who served us was a pleasant gentleman who made us our food as well. Definitely worth the money.

Thank you, Alireza. We loved reading this. At Elforne, we believe value isn’t only about what’s on the plate — it’s also about how you feel around the table. A carefully prepared smoked salmon pizza, soft music, candlelight, and genuine hospitality… these little details are all part of the experience we want to create. Knowing that you noticed them makes us especially happy. Thank you for spending part of your evening with us in downtown Montreal. We hope your next visit feels just as special. — The Elforne Team

Alex, what a wonderful compliment — hearing that our pizza brought back memories of the ones you enjoyed in Italy truly means a lot to us. We’re especially happy you enjoyed both our Mediterranean and Pepperoni pizzas. At Elforne, our artisanal pizzas start with dough kneaded by hand, and we try to keep things simple: good ingredients, careful preparation, and food made with heart. Thank you for discovering our little restaurant in downtown Montreal. Whether it’s dine-in or takeout, we’ll be happy to welcome you again next time you’re in town. — The Elforne Team

Went there yesterday with my daughter before the Alouettes football game and didn't really know what to expect. The restaurant was calm and the food was great! We really liked the pizza and the service was fast. The cook (which is also the owner and was the waiter I guess) was really kind. I will definately come back there if I'm in the area.

Thank you so much, Pierre-Luc. We’re really happy that you and your daughter chose to stop by before the Alouettes game — and even happier that Elforne turned out to be a good surprise. We believe a good pizza is more than a quick meal: handmade dough, carefully chosen ingredients, and the simple pleasure of making people feel welcome. Thank you for your kind words about the food and the service. If your path brings you back to downtown Montreal, our door will be open. — The Elforne Team.

Thank you for such a wonderful review. Knowing that both our smoked salmon pizza and our four-cheese pizza left such an impression means a lot to us. At Elforne, every pizza begins with dough kneaded by hand and a simple idea: take the time to do things with care, so that even a relaxed dinner can become a little moment worth remembering. Thank you for recommending our little restaurant in downtown Montreal. We hope to welcome you back soon — perhaps to discover another pizza next time. — The Elforne Team.

Been to Pizzeria Elforne twice this month already and I keep thinking about the pepperoni pizza. Everything on the menu has been delicious so far, and the owner is genuinely so nice, the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back. Already looking forward to my next visit.
