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.

Buen precio, pizza no es genial pero rica para el precio. Servicio atento

Sono certa che se fossi del posto sarebbe una delle mie pizzerie preferite, vista anche la coda di clienti fuori il locale.
Purtroppo da italiana sono abituata a pizze diverse, un po più leggere nel condimento e nell' impasto. Ciò non mi ha fatto apprezzare al meglio la pizza, che, va detto, è sicuramente molto saporita.

Belle pizzeria traditionnelle italienne, mais un encore meilleur service du gérant Rachid! Très accommodant sur nos petites demandes & un service incomparable (il a même offert une bouteille d'eau à ma conjointe enceinte pour notre départ à pied)! 👌🏻
Je recommande à tout amateur de pizza & de desserts classiques italiens!

I am over 50 & have had thousands of Pizzas in all my days. This was one of the best, if not the best pizza I have ever had! My wife & kids also very much loved it. There are so many options & so many sounded so good. The waiter for very nice, helpful & patient. The price was generous. If I visit Montreal again, I will be sure to be back!

The pizza was delicious & perfectly cooked. The menu offers a huge variety of pizzas, & also has salads, & calzones. Pizzas are big enough to share with another with salad.

La pizza était ok, sans plus. Le menu avait trop de choix & c'était confus. Manque de simplicité. Le service était bon, mais ce n'est pas un resto où je reviendrai.
