Delicious! My wife loves them all. As for me, their gluten-sensitive dough and their vegan cheese are just perfect... one of the best pizzas I can have. And the outside deck is lovely in the summer.

Very popular place. Tight seating. Kinda loud. Pizza was good but not as crispy as I like. You have to order, eat and get out because there's a line at the door. Tourist spot

This place is really popular in Montreal, and 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 and fast too.

I love the service I get each visit. They are the best. The pizza is great and you share half pizza and salad. Yes it's small place and sometimes crowded. Lunch time get around 11h30 or after 12h30 otherwise you won't find a spot.

The pizza crust was good, but the toppings were completely average, such as canned olives, too much and too salty feta, etc.

Hello Neda, Thank you for visiting us and for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are happy to read that you enjoyed the pizza crust! Regarding the toppings, we understand that preferences can vary. Quality and consistency are at the forefront of what we do, and we take care in sourcing our ingredients accordingly. While olives are often associated with canned or jarred formats, ours are actually sourced in non-canned containers. That said, we believe the most important factor is the overall quality and taste they bring to the dish. We recognize that the balance of flavors you experienced didn’t quite align with your expectations, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. It helps us continue refining what we offer, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the future. Thank you🍕👌🏻

We dropped in for a Saturday lunch. It was almost full but we were seated right away. There was a real mix of families, couples and students. Our pizza arrived within 5 minutes and was delicious. Service was attentive and the price was reasonable.

Fantastic top-quality pizza! Amazing cannolis - much better than even in their birthplace - Sicily! Quality and attention that only honest family-run business can deliver.

Pleasant ten minute winter walk with lights and churches along the way from McGill campus. We came to celebrate a birthday with delicious wood-fired pizzas. (We hadn’t made a reservation and 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, and a superb little cannoli dessert for each person at our table. Thank you! Can’t beat a roaring fire and 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 and the tomato sauce was rich and well balanced. Our waiters were very welcoming, friendly and 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!
