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 de choix pour savourer d'authentiques pizzas cuites au feu de bois à Montréal. Les visiteurs louent régulièrement l'impressionnante variété de choix, incluant des combinaisons originales, ainsi que la grande qualité de la pâte fine et croustillante et la fraîcheur des ingrédients. L'atmosphère est souvent décrite comme énergique, vivante et chaleureuse, rappelant l'ambiance animée des pizzerias italiennes. Bien que le restaurant soit souvent bondé et qu'il faille parfois faire la file, les clients soulignent que le service efficace, attentionné et courtois rend l'expérience digne d'intérêt. Que ce soit sur la jolie terrasse ou à l'intérieur, la plupart des convives repartent très satisfaits de la nourriture et du professionnalisme du personnel.
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!
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.

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!
