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.

This is easily one of the best pizzas I've ever had! I'm visiting from Toronto & a coworker recommended i try this spot out. I'm so happy I went. This restaurant is very easily accessible by transit. It's in a great location to start off. The service is amazing. Every single person working there was extremely welcoming & friendly. They have a very big menu - so many pizzas to choose from! I got the Denis pizza & it was amazing. Portion was great for the price. Would definitely say to come check it out!!
