Food tasted fresh. Been scouting out a place for pizza and pasta since my favorite local spot closed last month. Focaris had some good vegetarian options which I was happy to see. Especially if you’re a mushroom lover! Portions could be a bit bigger but still left feeling satisfied. Servers were super friendly too.

Food is sensational. Had the Foccia appetizer and the mix olives. Then the Diovla pizza and the Pesto pizza. Both were delicious, hot and worth watering. Dessert was pistachio truffle. Creamy and delicious. A must go to place!!!

Such an amazing place. The fresh pasta and pizza were light and delicious so my family and I didn’t feel heavy afterwards. If this place was on the main Lynbrook strip it would be packed daily but it almost seems hidden unless you go to the movie theater. Highly recommend. We will be going back.

Sunday lunch at this Neapolitan-style Italian pizza spot was a wonderful experience! The restaurant’s setup and design were warm and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a family meal.
We started with fresh, crisp salads that were full of flavor and paired beautifully with warm, baked bread. Then came the highlight—the pizzas. As someone who has made pizzas myself, I can honestly say these were outstanding. The crust struck the perfect balance: soft and airy on the inside, crisp and slightly charred on the outside. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the blend of cheese and toppings was spot on.
To finish, the espresso was strong yet smooth, with no bitterness, and a spoonful of creamy chocolate gelato made for the perfect ending to the meal.
Service was excellent throughout—friendly, attentive staff who made the entire experience memorable for my family. Thank you for a truly enjoyable lunch!

I’m so impressed with Focaris. The quality of the food is top-notch. We tried the Diavola pizza, Spinach pizza, and the Rigatoni pasta, and every dish was delicious. What really shines through is the effort they put into their food, the homemade quality of the pasta and pizza dough (both of which they said are made fresh daily), the freshly made mozzarella, and imported liquors. If you’re looking for authentic, handmade Italian food, this is the place to go.

We had a fantastic experience at Focáris!
We ordered the Diavola pizza, spinach pizza, rigatoni pasta, and the pistachio truffle dessert—everything was delicious, but the Diavola pizza really stood out. You can truly taste the quality in their ingredients—the mozzarella cheese was incredibly authentic and fresh, and every bite was full of flavor.
The service was great, and the ambiance made the meal even better—chill music and a relaxed atmosphere that made us want to stay longer. If you’re a fan of authentic Italian food, this spot is a must-try. Highly recommend!

Stopped in for a quick lunch before a movie, thinking this was still a Greek restaurant. Pleasantly surprised to find it turned into a pizzeria serving some of the best pizza I’ve eaten in years. Thin, crisp crust, fluffy dough, and fresh mozzarella, sausage, and tomatoes. I ate the entire thing. You could taste the authenticity and the flavor of the wood-fired oven. The staff were friendly and helpful, the restaurant itself was spotless and well decorated, and the calm acoustic music playing in the background made this lunch an all around great experience. We will be back for more.

We ordered 2 pizzas. They were both delicious. One was gluten-free. The dough was delicious and cooked in a coal fired oven. Highly recommend.

This restaurant was a wonderful hidden gem!!! This was the best pizza we ever had! They make everything in house… the pizza crust is legendary in my opinion… The people were fantastic also. Our waiter Brandon made wonderful menu suggestions, was very attentive and treated us to tiramisu at the end. The Chef came out to talk to us also after we complimented the cuisine. Tiramisu for desert was out of this world….
