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.

Pizza was great! Had the chance to try types, number 74 & the other one was the portobello mushroom pizza. Both were delicious but I'd highly recommend number 74, super tasty & flavourful! Great service & easy to find in the heart of Montreal.

I'm sorry but I think this place is super overrated. I've come here twice & the pizza is super disappointing & expensive for what you get. It's really bland & soggy. The service is ok & the ambiance is pretty nice though.

I have eaten at Il Focolaio several times, & it never disappoints! #40 Al Prosciutto has to be my favourite, & paired with sangria, it makes it that much better. This is the place to go if you're looking for a solid pizza spot with a good atmosphere. 🍕
