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.
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!
We ordered pizza to our hotel & it arrived more than 30 minutes past the estimated delivery time. I waited in the lobby, & after calling twice for an update, the staff were incredibly kind & professional. On the second call, the customer service representative let us know the order would be complimentary because of the delay.
We truly felt cared for & valued. The pizza itself was absolutely delicious - even a little cool, it was outstanding. Great food, & even better customer service. We will definitely order again.

We visited from Hamilton, Ontario. We walked in the freezing cold & were so happy to stumble across this warm & cozy place. It was busy but very welcoming. We ordered the pepperoni pizza & it was probably one of the best I've ever had. Hot, delicious & made on the spot in plain view of the dining area. The crust was thin, crisp & perfect.
If I lived in Montreal, this would be a regular go-to place. ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
We stopped here to escape the -25°C cold, but I wish we hadn't. The pizza was just okay, but the service was shocking. We felt like a burden, especially when the server cleared my husband's plate while he was literally still chewing. It felt dismissive, as if our presence was an inconvenience, despite plenty of empty seats. Between that & the cramped, uncomfortable seating, this was the worst dining experience of our trip. Avoid.
We stopped here for our last night in Montreal for dinner. The staff were quick, attentive & very polite. The food was outstanding. We split a Cesar salad for starter & no word of a lie, it was just lettuce, croutons & dressing but one of the best Cesar salads I've ever had. The extensive pizza menu features tons of beautiful, freshly made items all prepared in a wood fired oven. I had the salamino (#54) & hubby had the arugula(#71). Both were fantastic. We took an order of cannolis to go, & they were out of this world. The cream was thick & delicious with just a hint of lemon. The restaurant was packed with a lively, friendly vibe. Plus it was super close to our hotel so it was a great choice. I would recommend it to anyone. Total for dinner plus hubby's two beers & tip was $122.23
