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.

Les pizzas sont savoureuses, pas grasses & biens garnies. Mention spéciale pour la pâte croustillante à souhait

I had Pollo Nostro pizza which is like chicken pesto but it has hot peppers. It tasted awesome. There was a reason that people waite in line to eat there. The staff were so friendly . Had a great experience.

Pizza buona con ingredienti di qualità, poteva esser lievitata meglio però. Da rivedere un po' il servizio non posso ordinare due volte da bere e non ricevere niente per tutta la cena.

The pizza is excellent & service was good thebother times I have gone there . But I was dessapointed today; I ordered a pizza to go, there was no one waiting in line & I sat at table . Then people arrived. & I don't know if it was coordinator but he said I should stand up out of the table, & then told the girls in the cash regist register people that take it to go should wait outside. I think as client (I was not ubereats or something like that) I also deserved to have a place because I paid for my pizza & even gave tip when I bought it, the only thing is that I didn't want to eat at the place just take home. I give this as advice but I felt bad As a client I feel I also deserved my place, I had to stay out stand up for ten minutes. Thanks

Si je pouvais donner 6 étoiles, je l'aurai absolument fait ! Rien à dire à part que c'est l'un des meilleurs endroits pour manger une vraie pizza italienne. On a eu un excellent service, la variété était au rendez-vous & surtout la qualité ! Je ne peux que féliciter toute l'équipe de la Pizzeria
