About Us

Since 1984 clients have been coming to Il Focolaio to get that authentic Italian taste that is reminiscent of their grandmother’s cooking. Il Focolaio, in fact means fireplace in Italian. The name depicts the maple wood burning oven where each and every one of our pizzas and roasted ingredients are cooked. Our fireplace, as in the old country, not only brings forth the food but also becomes the gathering place for our clients who always feel welcomed and right at home. Our recipe for success is simple, serving up pizza using ingredients that only a true pizzaiolo would use, such as extra virgin olive oil, top quality tomatoes and only the freshest ingredients, all prepared with passion and a love for cooking to bring you the end result that you will never forget. We invite you to come and enjoy the taste of Italy with a nice glass of wine from our wine list. Enjoy it all on our terrace in the middle of downtown during the summer months.

Best pizza & salad EVER!!! Authentic Italian food 👌 But disappointed of the delivery people....gave the guy tip & he was unsatisfied with the amount giving me attitude so from now on I am not giving any more tip at all since clearly they don't appreciate it. He had a very disgraceful & inconsiderate attitude.View more

Came to Pizza il Focolaio on a Friday afternoon. Upon entering, this establishment has 70+ different pizza options.. so you may feel slightly overwhelmed. As I do with every first time pizza I try at a new place, I ordered a margherita pizza. It was good, however nothing to go crazy about. I think if in Montreal, I would say there are probably better options but this was close to the hotel & wasn't that bad. 3.5/5 overallView more

Outstanding pizza! Outstanding vibe! When we arrived we had to line up & wait. Wait wasn't long & well worth the wait. Pizza was fantastic! Must eat here! When we left people were still lined up, I understand why!View more

This is my favorite Pizza restaurant. I try to eat here when I come to Montreal. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the pool chicken pizza. I will be back in the summer. It is a very busy spot but worth the wait.View more

The pizza & the service are outstanding. It's a very busy pizza place but totally worth the wait. The server was so attentive he understood we wanted to share the pizza & he asked if we wanted ours half & half. Not sure why we didn't think that at first but it's adorable that the waiter cared that much!!! I'll definitely go back! Try the grilled veggies pizza! Exquisite!!!!View more

La meilleure pizzeria à Montréal, à mon avis. Il faut toujours attendre mais il y a une petite surprise si vous êtes dans la file. La pizza es délicieuse & est prête rapidement. Il faut écrire des opinions aussi lorsque le service & excellent. C'est le cas.View more

There was a huge line outside the place but it was well worth the wait. The restaurant brought us some garlic bread while we were waiting outside in the cold, which was super nice 😁View more
