Depuis 1984, nos clients viennent chez Il Focolaio afin de rechercher le goût italien authentique fait à la maison. Il Focolaio signifie le foyer en Italien. Ce nom décrit parfaitement le four alimenté au bois d’érable où nous faisons cuire toutes nos pizzas, garnies de leurs succulents ingrédients. Notre foyer, comme en Italie, ne sert pas seulement à faire cuire la nourriture : c’est aussi un endroit où nos clients peuvent se rassembler, dans un confort chaleureux. La recette de notre succès est simple : nous servons des pizzas garnies d’ingrédients dignes des meilleurs pizzaiolos, tels que de l’huile d’olive extra vierge, des tomates de la meilleure qualité et des ingrédients frais. Ces pizzas sont préparées avec passion et un amour de la bonne cuisine, afin de vous offrir un plat inoubliable. Nous vous invitons à venir déguster le goût de l’Italie avec un bon verre de vin choisi dans notre liste de vins personnalisée. Vous pourrez l’apprécier cet été, sur notre terrasse au cœur du centre-ville.
Il Focolaio est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable pour la pizza cuite au feu de bois à Montréal, proposant un menu vaste avec une sélection impressionnante d'ingrédients frais et de qualité. De nombreux clients louent la pâte fine et croustillante, la constance des saveurs et l'excellent rapport qualité prix, ce qui en fait un choix privilégié pour les résidents comme pour les visiteurs. Bien que le restaurant soit souvent animé et très fréquenté, le personnel est régulièrement souligné pour son attention, son professionnalisme et son accueil chaleureux, assurant une expérience efficace même durant les heures de pointe. Malgré l'espace parfois restreint et l'ambiance dynamique, le consensus général est que la qualité des plats et la courtoisie du service font de cet endroit une adresse essentielle en ville.
Came here off of google reviews while looking for s sweet pizza spot. It did not dissapoint. Over 75 choices of pizza's & a bunch of other sides & options to choose from.
We had pizza # 27 Carré Phillips & pizza # 68 A La Griglia. Both were very good. Amazint crust & generous toppins.
For dessert i had the Duo Cannoli which was also very good!
Come here & you wont be dissapointed
Visited Montreal & stopped by for food & it was delightful. Food was awesome 10/10 service was 15 out of 10. It was fresh & would definitely come back. They use a wood fire oven & that gives the pie a crispy & delicious undercarriage & crust.The place was spotless & one of the cleanest restaurants I've been to.If you live or going to Montreal stop by you won't regret it.
There is a reason this place shows up on everyone's reviews. Awesome spot for a quick meal. Not authentic Neapolitan & they're not trying to be. But the crust was light, airy & crisp. Lots of options for everyone. Don't go expecting high end.

I used to be a long time fan of their pizza, but it's become mediocre. The crust wasn't great like it used to be nor the flavours impressive. It's sad but true.
Love the outdoor deck right by our hotel. I had the Campagnola, bf had the Said. Both were excellent. I judge my pizza on the crust, at this crust was delicious, crispy, & wonderful! Am definitely getting the Ceasar salad next time after reading the reviews!
Absolutely one of the best wood-fired pizzas I've had! The crust was perfectly crisp with that authentic smoky flavor, the toppings were fresh & generous, & every bite was delicious. The staff were friendly, the service was excellent, & the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic wood oven pizza! 🍕🔥
This review is long overdue. Having read lots of positive reviews ourselves & feeling like a really good wood fired thin crust pizza, we stopped in for a very late'long' lunch on our last day in Montreal. The outside is really quite unassuming - easy to miss - but it is the food that is worth going in for. Trade was quietening down (had clearly been very busy). The choice of pizzas was immense (never seen so much choice). We were assisted by a great guy (who's name I have sadly forgotten - should have done this review sooner - sorry). He asked what we liked, gave recommendations, followed by time to ponder. He also highlighted that some of the Calzones could be done as a'regular pizzas'. Decision made- two pizzas, salad to share & a bottle of red wine - absolutely delicious! Seemed almost rude not to consider a dessert. More recommendations - cheesecake, cannoli & limoncello. - Done! Wow fantastic! Completely exceeded expectation, which was already high. & amazing value. I cannot recommend highly enough! (Shame they can't deliver to the UK.)
Walked in & was immediately greeted & seated & within 10 minutes I was chowing down the pictured arugula & prosciutto pizza (they have like 75 pies to choose from). The atmosphere was lively & convivial & wait staff incredibly attentive but the star of the show was the food & it didn't disappoint. The crust & all the components I opted to have piled on top were a symphony of flavors. If you're craving pizza in Montreal I can't imagine there are better options than this joint.
By far, the best pizza I've had in Montreal. I went with a group of 7 friends. All our pizzas arrived in a reasonable time. I ordered a simple peperonata pizza. The crust was perfect in crustiness & the tomato sauce was rich & well balanced. Our waiters were very welcoming, friendly & professional. I highly recommend Pizza II Focolaio. They have over 70 options to choose from in terms of toppings combinations, so I'll definitely be coming back to try another!
