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 offre une expérience italienne authentique avec une pizza au feu de bois et une carte riche de garnitures et de combinaisons créatives, une pâte croquante et des ingrédients frais qui séduisent dans le paysage des pizzerias montréalaises. La salle est chaleureuse et animée, le service est globalement attentif et efficace même en période d'affluence, et des options sont proposées pour végétariens, sans gluten et lactose libre; les cannolis et tiramisu accompagnent bien les pizzas. Bien que les files d'attente et des tables serrées soient fréquentes lors des heures d'affluence, les convives apprécient les portions généreuses, les prix raisonnables et la saveur authentique qui donne envie de revenir.
We eat here every time we're in Montreal! Very popular & delicious spot. They have such original, yummy pizza, plus you can get lactose free cheese, which I did. Nice to have the option! Service is friendly, but does not hover. Tight quarters - get there early so you can get in, but if you can't I feel like the wait is worth it.

This place is really popular in Montreal, & for good reason. The only challenge is choosing from their wide variety of options, but every choice we made was absolutely delicious. Service was really friendly & fast too.
Pleasant ten minute winter walk with lights & churches along the way from McGill campus. We came to celebrate a birthday with delicious wood-fired pizzas. (We hadn't made a reservation & arrived on a Monday at 5:45 PM just as it was filling up, just as a heads up! ). So many choices! Great place for having many amazing options for vegetarians as well as not-so-vegetarians. They arranged a cake slice with a candle, a rousing start of the birthday song, & a superb little cannoli dessert for each person at our table. Thank you! Can't beat a roaring fire & a warm welcoming staff for a March birthday celebration in Montreal! We don't eat out very often, but this place is definitely on our list.
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!
I went many times & it was always a treat. The pizzas are amazing, the menu has plenty of interesting options (77 pizzas) & the service is really good, even when the restaurant gets crowded.
Stopped in for a quick bite & was pleasantly surprised by how many pizza options there were. We ordered two & in both cases they were super delicious & baked to perfection. Drink wise it's wine or four beer options, I had an amber off the tap & it was fresh as well. Highly recommend Pizza Il Focolaio!
6/5 stars! Best service I have ever had at any restaurant ever. The staff were all so friendly & attentive. The food was also amazing! Great pizza & tons of options. Huge portions for the salads too.
They have so many pizza options to choose from, & it can be really hard! I was craving for seafood so I went by their seafood option, & they didn't let me down at all.

This was an amazing little spot with super efficient service. The food was fantastic & at points there were lineups out the door but within 20 minutes a giant line all seemed to be placed no matter how busy it was. The food was so fast to come out & it tasted incredible. There were so many options & you could change any of the toppings on the pizza so was easy even if you didn't want something exactly was designed. Also the dessert was well worth it.
Great pizza & a pretty good deal. I've paid much more for similar pizza & even not as good. The choice is a little overwhelming but it's great to have that many options. Staff is friendly & lively.
Over 70 pizza options! Delicious pizza & cannoli's! The service was amazing, our server Sohail was amazing, kind & patient with our table! All the staff were friendly & helpful & the pizza makers were something to watch! A must try if in Montreal!
Me & my family love the pizza here, lots of options for toppings, & the thin crust is delicious. Otherwise, the restaurant seems mostly intended for tourists who want to eat & keep moving. I recommend it for lunch. They could fix a little the atmosphere, it's too dark in some areas & the tables are quite small. The service sometimes is good, but sometimes it seems they just want you to leave as soon as possible.
There are a lot of options here for pizza lovers! The best ones are marked by *. For the first time I'd recommend to go with the * ones. You'll be given French menus but if you ask, they'll provide English Menus.
I didn't like the vegetable based pizza we got the second time we went there.
