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.
Les avis convergent pour saluer des pizzas au feu de bois avec une pâte fine et croustillante et une grande variété de garnitures, dont des options sans gluten et sans lactose et des desserts italiens excellents. Le service est généralement rapide, chaleureux et attentif, et la carte propose de nombreuses pizzas, salades et desserts préparés avec des ingrédients frais. L'ambiance est conviviale et authentique, souvent décrite comme accueillante et dynamique, même lorsque la salle est bondée. Très appréciés aussi le rapport qualité-prix et la constance de la qualité des pizzas, faisant d'Il Focolaio une adresse souvent recommandée pour les passionnés de pizza à Montréal.
The pizza was amazing. We sat outside on the patio & the atmosphere was great. The seating was a bit packed/tight but still comfortable to have conversations without being too loud. There was a wide variety of pizzas to choose from. I picked one of the recommended ones & it did not disappoint! Also, I had the cannoli & it was tasty as well (disclaimer - I'm not sure what a good/bad cannoli tastes like, but it was delicious!).

My family of 4 stopped there for lunch on our tour of Montreal on a whim & usually when we do this we are left disappointed! However Il Focolaio did not disappoint at all the food portions & quality were amazing & we were served by probably the best server ever RACHID!!! I have never had someone be so genuine throughout a dining experience. Would recommend 100 times over!
This place is amazing. The pizza is unreal. Not having being before, the waiter recommended a pizza which ended up being the best one. & instead of me & my friend sharing two pizzas they went ahead & made the pizzas half & half which was really nice. Would go again!!
Meilleures pizzas que nous avons mangé. Juste magnifiques. L'accueil est très bon & les prix sont très raisonnables. Je recommande sans hésiter à 300%.
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.

This is one of my favourite pizza places in Montreal! There are so many varieties that you can have, & I haven't even tried the calzonis or the salads. Last time I went, we were able to get a reservation for 11am & were immediately seated when we got in. This time, I got a Campagnola, without olives, & it was absolutely delicious. I devoured the whole pizza. I noticed it was slightly smaller than it was when I visited in past years, but it was no less delicious! I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinne
This is one of the best Italian pizzas, I have ever had outside of Italy.
You have a huge selection of pizzas, more than 70 types of pizza.
I recommend it for sure.

Absolutely amazing! The food was incredible - hands down the best pizza I've ever had. The staff were so friendly, warm, & genuinely compassionate. The atmosphere was lovely, & everything about the experience was just perfect. Can't wait to come back. Highly recommended
Amazing pizza every time! Consistent, always fresh, & not shy with toppings. Plus they have delicious gluten free crust available & lactose free cheese for people with dietary restrictions! The servers are also very knowledgeable & friendly. Highly recommend!
Everything about our evening there was perfect. The service was impeccable & the food delicious, wow! I definitely recommend going there. They have a whole variety of pizzas that it was a struggle to choose one because everything looked delicious
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.

Absolutely loved this pizza shop! The pizza was genuinely tasty - fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked crust, & just the right amount of cheese & toppings. The price was very fair for the quality & portion size, which is always a plus. What really stood out, though, was the staff - they were incredibly nice, welcoming, & made the whole experience even better. You can tell they care about their customers & take pride in their service. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or dining in, this place is worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend it!
De très bonnes pizzas non bourratives. Le personnel est au petit soin. Je recommande. Cependant ne pas être pressé car pas beaucoup de tables & donc de l'attente.
Meilleure pizza que j'ai jamais mangé!
Toute ma famille a appréciée.
Beaucoup de choix, les employés sont attentionnés, beaux moments en famille pour nous hier soir. Je recommande fortement.
A pizza place from the 80-90s & still running must mean it's the best, well yes, it was great. The sauce & pizza are amazing, you can choose from your 70 options of pizza.
I'd definitely recommend, but the line up is an issue.
Pizza & service were great with good selection, I'd recommend ordering over sitting in to eat, the chairs were some of the most uncomfortable I've ever sat in
