About

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.

Meilleure pizza margherita que j'ai pu manger à Montréal jusqu'à maintenant. Gros coup de coeur pour la pizza à la truffe & le gâteau au fromage dulce de leche! Service rapide & excellent. Les portions sont bonnes & les prix ne sont pas trop élevés (Environ 30-40$ pour pizza, boisson & dessert). Bonne ambiance. Plusieurs visites & jamais déçu!

Visiting the city on a work trip & kept hearing rave reviews about this spot-had to see what the hype was about. Spoiler: It absolutely lived up to the buzz! 🍤🍕

**The showstopper?** Their succulent shrimp pizza paired with authentic Italian pastries (trust me, save room for dessert). Consider me a convert-this spot just earned a *permanent* spot on my must-visit list whenever I'm back in town!
