Elena Pizzeria brings a New York slice sensibility to Griffintown, courtesy of the same team behind Elena, Nora Gray, and Gia. What started as a backstage catering experiment at Montreal’s summer festivals has become a permanent counter, serving 18-inch sourdough pies with crisp edges and generous toppings. Classics like cheese and pepperoni share the menu with Elena favourites such as the sesame-and-honey “Dany,” alongside sandwiches, salads, and soft-serve gelato. The setup is pared down—limited seating, a striking quartz counter, and plenty of room to stand with a slice in hand—but the details reflect the group’s usual precision. Natural wines and a small beer list round things out, making this corner spot equal parts neighbourhood slice shop and downtown destination.
