I loved their small plates over their pizzas. It's thin but the crust is very chewy/almost tough. Toppings are great though! Loved both their salads, generous portions. Honestly great spot for appertivo and late night small plate eats! read more

Honestly, if you come here for pizza or pasta - supposedly their specialties - you'll leave content. It's not terrible, but not amazing either. A surprising standout dish, though, is their kale salad. It's my favourite in the city. Laced with slivered almonds, there's a satisfying crunch and the delicious dressing brings everything together. Their calamari isn't bad either. read more

Service was good at this location. They were friendly and attentive with making sure our water jug was refilled. Came by a few times to check if we were ready and were patient with us when we needed more time. Duck confit pizza was unavailable when we tried to order it so we got the sausage one instead. I didn't really like the pizza - tastes burnt even though it's not, and was too salty for my taste. The kale salad was delicious - the toasted almonds were a great touch and perfectly seasoned - not too saucy or dry. The gnocchi was average. Soft not chewy texture. The sauce didn't stand out. The mocktail was probably my favourite thing, it had little strawberry seeds in it and was very refreshing on a hot day. It was $9 though for a small glass. Wish they had a patio because it was so nice and warm out, would have enjoyed dining in more lighting instead of in dimmer restaurant when sun was still shining. read more

Pizzeria Libretto - Ossington is a great location. It was super easy to get to and had a great amount of space for dinner, parties, get-togethers. While we were here for a meetup (5 ppl), there was a birthday party in progress, combining a few tables together as a long table for the attendees. It was spacious and had many tables. As a table, we ordered three different pizzas... - Margherita - Diavola x2 - Funghi x2 Their sourdough crust was very delicate and thin, it very satisfying. The Diavola was the best, the Margherita was a good staple, but the Funghi was a bit underwhelming, probably due to the strong flavors from the other pizzas. The prices for what you get was pretty good and the time from ordering to pizza at the table was very fast, around 15-20 mins of everyone's order, all coming in together in about 5 mins. The staff was great and attentive, the atmosphere was very relaxed, would come again to try their Duck Confit, Prosciutto & Arugula. read more

Super helpful service but most importantly: really good gluten free pizza! Not for celiacs - not a dedicated kitchen - but if you can tolerate a little wayward wheat flour, I recommend you try it! Pro tip: The hot maple dipping sauce was delightfully weird and went surprisingly well with the prosciutto pizza. read more

January 2023: My husband and I unexpectedly had to spend a day/night in Toronto due to our connecting flight home being cancelled. I'm so glad he found this place based on Yelp reviews! This was some of the best pizza I've ever had! The staff was so kind to us and gave us great recommendations on which pizzas were most popular to order. I'd definitely make sure Pizzeria Libretto is on my list of places to eat the next time I find myself in the city! read more

I have been going to this restaurant since it opened and my experience on Saturday November 22nd was so negative that I genuinely might never eat here again. I am white and went to the restaurant with two people of colour. The server's attitude towards us varied in notable difference compared to the other individuals also dining, as I noticed that she did not attempt to connect with our table like she did other tables. The only time she attempted chatting with us, as she had done with other tables throughout the night, some tables multiple times, was when it was time to pay the bill. When we ordered, she did not repeat it back to us and completely forgot an appetizer that we ordered. After reminding her, and the appetizer finally arrived (after we had finished most of our meal), some of it fell on the ground when it was served to us. It was a different server, but they didn't offer to replace any of the food that fell on the ground, or even bother to apologize. We were not able to get our table cleared in a timely fashion because the server spent around 10-15 minutes talking to a single couple while physically leaning on another party's table. While this was happening, I saw back of house staff in chef's uniforms carrying food to the tables themselves, perhaps because a member of the waitstaff was completely ignoring everyone else in the restaurant. The name of our server according to our receipt was Nataya, but it's difficult to know who was actually serving us because no one bothered to introduce themselves or make any sort of connection with us, anyway. The food was nice, but it's not enough to go back, and likely have another negative experience. read more

Really great pizza and nice cozy atmosphere. I ordered the 'nduja which had spicy sausage, mozzarella, tomato sauce, fresh basil and garlic. It was quite tasty, my only "complaint" would be I wish it had a bit more sausage on it. It was very sparse and had maybe one piece per slice. Fried calamari was perfectly battered and seasoned. Light, crispy and fresh. I loved the slightly sweet but spicy sauce it came with. All in all, we really enjoyed it and I will be back. Just be mindful that you will have to find street parking. read more

The pizza crust was alright, tasted similar to that in Italy, but it's not worth it for what you have to endure. The environment came off as nearly hostile. Friday night, 5 pm, no we did not have a reservation but it took a good 5 minutes to determine whether they could accommodate us--and that was with at least a dozen empty tables. Thinking we were getting snubbed merely because we had no reservations, we were eager to make it past the host stand and enjoy a meal. But the unwelcome vibes continued. Our server was mostly absent, the meal was subpar at best, and we left wishing we never wasted our time. Suffice it to say the people weren't welcoming and I would not recommend the restaurant, period. read more

Went to Pizzeria Libretto for lunch it was excellent. Had the kale salad and a pizza. Both were delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Visiting from Toronto, and this is probably the best meal we've had here. Pizza is of very high quality and focaccia with oil and vinegar had immaculate texture and taste. The perfect dinner food-wise. -1 star because the restaurant was kinda loud and went with my family (mother and young brother), but nothing out of the ordinary. Staff is very nice! Surprised as to why this restaurant was the least busy of the entire Ossington Strip on a Saturday evening, totally worth it!!! read more

I live this place. The staff is so nice, the pizza and desserts are amazing, and it is so comfortable and has so much nice aesthetics. Get the margarita pizza, gnocchi fritti, meatballs, tiramisu, and gelato. read more

Authentic Italian pizza in the heart of Toronto! We ordered two pizzas, one an Americano and the other a gluten free house made sausage. Both were among the best pizzas we've had this side of the Atlantic! Ad appetizers we had the focaccia bread, it was so good we ordered a second serving! Service was prompt and friendly. We loved that it wasn't too busy or noisy when we visited at about 9 PM. We also enjoyed the ambiance with its multilevel lighting interspersed with plants. All in all a fantastic experience! read more

Does anyone disagree that this is the best pizza place? (Ok toe to toe with Terroni's).. but the pizza crust at Libretto is so good that... sometimes I just want the dough without any sauce or toppings. read more

We are visiting Toronto for the very first time and our hotel concierge recommended this place. We were excited until our pizza arrived and tasted as if it was dipped in highly concentrated SALT! We were cringing at first bite. We reported it to our waiter and he only offered us half off without replacing it. This is absurd and egregious. Do not visit this place or waste your time unless you want to turn into a pillar like Lot's wife in the Bible. This is a hard NO for us. ​ read more

This place has been on my Yelp-dar for years and it wasn't until recently that I was able to try the place that refined pizza for Toronto in a big way and really brought the Verified Napoletana variable into the lime light - prior to Libretto others had it but only those who were in the know, knew what that meant. For those still scratching their heads here is what is required for your pizza to be verified as an authentic Napoletana (true to the original pizza recipe passed down over generations): Taken FROM the AVPN International Regulations: Characteristics 1. The Neapolitan pizza is roundish, with a diameter of 30-35cm; 2. The Neapolitan pizza presents a raised edge (the famous "cornicione"), swollen and free from burns; 3. The Neapolitan pizza must be soft and elastic. The ingredients to prepare the True neapolian pizza's dough. The following doses are based on 1 litre (1000ml) of water;: - Water: 1 litre - Salt: 50-55g - Yeast: 3g - Flour, 1.7-1.8Kg (type 00 or 0) The Preparation: Blend flour, water, salt and yeast. Pour a litre of water into a mixer, dissolve between 50 and 55g of salt, add 10% of the total amount of flour, then add 3g of years. Start the mixer, gradually add the rest of the flour (W 220-380) until the desider dough consistency is achieved (optimal point of the dough). This operation should takes 10minutes. Mix the dough at low speed for 20 minutes. The Leavening (about 2hours), followed by the technique, known as "staglio a mano" that means making a dough ball (panetto) that must weigh between 180 and 250g. Once the "panetto" is formed, leave it in a "rising box" for the second leavening, which lasts 6hours at a temperature of 25C°. Forming: Following the second rising, we can finally roll our pizza with a motion from the centre outwards, and press with the fingers of both hands. The base must be prepared by hand. The use of rolling pin and mechanical presses are not allowed. Condiments. The true Neapolitan pizza must be garnished with ingredients from Campania regions. The oil used must be the extra virgin oil, and it's possible to choose between mozzarella and fiordilatte DOP. The cooking must be done exclusively in a wood-fired oven, which has reached a temperature between 430-480C°. With these temperatures, just insert the pizza for 60-90 seconds. The pizza will cook evenly across the entire circumference. So needless to say, with this review being 5-star, these metrics have been met and them some. I ordered the Diavola which had a spicy sauce in addition, spicy peppers and meats! It was fantastic! I also had an Aperol Spritz which was equally fantastic. Service for lunch was extremely attentive and our server even made us aware of the options (pizza or plain pasta) for kids. I really enjoyed the meal and experience and it's no wonder that after all this time this original location is still revered as one of the best spots for pizza in the city. Eatcrest Out! read more

Very disappointing. Have had many great pizzas from here, but terrible pizza this time. Crust seems to be undercooked. Was actually mushy, wet. Hardly able to pick up slice due to mushiness. Shame because the toppings were tasty and good quality, crust made it inedible. read more

What. The. Fuck. I saw this place on Yelp and we walked for a solid 20 minutes to get here in the cold. I could deal with the fact that there was a wait because it's supposedly popular, but there's no place to wait in the entrance. Once we were seated a half-hour later, we hungrily perused the menu. Our server was awkward and made herself scarce. She came by to make strange comments, forgot to take drink orders from half our table, and generally gave off a weird vibe. There were four of us, so we decided to split three pizzas, buttermilk calamari, and an arugula salad. Arugula salad was refreshing. Buttermilk calamari was okay. And then came the pizzas. We got: a salami pizza, a roasted cremini mushroom pizza, and a special pizza (with prosciutto, goat cheese, onions, etc.). All of our pizzas were burnt. Not just like a little crisp on the side, but like an unpleasant burnt crunch. The salami was too burnt, the roasted cremini had an overwhelming amount of rosemary, and the special was an odd combination of flavors. Just unappealing. I was so disappointed by all three, I didn't get to eat a proper dinner. So fucking mad. Still pretty fucking mad. In fact, every time I pass by this place, i AM INFURIATED. FULL OF REGRET. How is this considered a top restaurant in Toronto?! It took forever to get our server to bring our check. I think she could tell we weren't having any of that shit. She had attitude the whole time we spoke to her; do you think this deserves a good tip? I don't. Bad service with a side of attitude is on the menu, it seems. She boxed up second helpings of bitch and gave us that to go. Would not come here under any circumstance. I suggest you do the same. read more

Pizzeria Libretto - Burnt salami pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Over many visits, I've never had a disappointing meal, nor has there been an issue with allergens. Prices are commensurate with the quality of the food. Reservations highly recommended as places open up and people are getting out again. My dining companion and I arrived on time for our reservation and were seated promptly; not sure that it would have been as pleasant an experience if we didn't have a reservation. Do take the time to to read about their certification as it enhances the enjoyment of the pizze. Pies are a good size, so bring your own food containers because they reheat well as leftovers. Seating options pre-Covid included tables, bar dining and booths. Service ranges from good to great every time. read more

This review is long overdue. I guess I've always just taken for granted that this place is special, but that's no excuse not to sing its praises. Every time I've come here, it's like I'm having a meal with close friends (I usually come alone, which is why it's LIKE I'm with close friends). The staff is consistently super friendly. Cole in particular always goes above and beyond in making sure his customers are well-attended to, well-fed, and in good spirits. He's definitely one of the best restaurant staff members I've ever come across. The restaurant itself went under major renovations and opened again almost a year ago now. It subbed out it's warm wood, homey feel for a more California aesthetic with white tiles and stainless steel touches. It still looks great. I'm sure some people prefer the more hip look. I liked it before, and I still like it now. The food is consistently delicious. I don't think I've ever had anything here I haven't liked - Rocco's Salad, the Margherita, and the calamari are all delicious staples. But then they have the meatballs. God, are the meatballs good. Served with naturally sweet tomato sauce, cream, melted cheese, and olive oil, these bad boys are to die for. The sweet acidity of the tomato sauce cuts the richness of the other sides perfectly, and the meatballs themselves are done just right. I can't say enough good things about them. Also, they now serve Enoteca Sociale pasta so... I mean what else needs to be said. Overall, Libretto on Ossington has done me right time and time again, and I'm very grateful. read more

I've heard such great things about Pizzeria Libretto that I'm surprised it took me so long to finally try it out. The restaurant is rather narrow but the décor is bright and chic. True to what I heard, this place is extremely popular. We ended up waiting over an hour for a table for two and got seated at the bar. While the complimentary bread didn't impress me, I very much enjoyed our antipasto del giorno, which was some sort of marinated eggplant on a piece of toast. The Neapolitan potato croquettes were delicious, arriving piping hot. Can you really go wrong with a deep fried ball of potatoes? On the other hand, the buttermilk calamari wasn't impressive. The calamari itself was too tough and difficult to chew through, worsened by the fact that they were thick cut. However, the accompanying Romesco sauce was a refreshing departure from the usual mayo-based dips we get with fried calamari. Onto the pizza. Both the Italian Sausage and Hot Peppers Pizza were delicious, with the thin crust perfectly charred. I personally prefer the Italian Sausage white pizza. For dessert, we opted for tiramisu, which was more like a creamy pudding with mashed up pieces of cake stirred inside. I loved it! All in all, a very good experience, and I'd love to go back to try other variations of pizza! read more

Pros: Huge portions, greasy New York style pizza (tastes like deep dish), great deals on ritual app here and there, cute location, wheelchair accessible, vegetarian options, seating available, more grab and go friendly, price for the portion is fair - though the Ritual app (buy one get one deal) is a great way to try them! Cons: no notable vegan options, super greasy pizza, ***during the height of covid I noticed one of the staff members being leisurely with his mask on multiple occasions - possibly cause his beard was in the way (though the rest of the staff were being professional) Summary: I love their pizza and especially the classic margarita one. I really think they do a fantastic deep dish flavour (not sure if it is deep dish). It's super greasy which is also the con in my eyes... as I love greasy pizza! Altogether it's fun for date night and I will go back here again, we have ordered the pizza deal on ritual so many times - I worry about how they make money. Their cheesecake is good but I wouldn't say mind blowing. Otherwise I only have nice things to say about this location! read more

I just LOVE Lunch Specials! Pizzeria Libretto Lunch Menu ($15) is such a good bargain.. (+ 1 star) No wait on a Friday lunch time... got to sit at the bar... Arugula Salad (+1 star) - Love how it was lightly dressed with tons of fresh pears and walnuts.. - makes me feel I am eating so healthy.. but in 5 minute or so I going to stuff my face with a whole pizza Margherita D.O.P (-2 star) - I know the restaurant is busy.. yes even for lunch it is packed - but really, seriously why is my pizza so freaking burnt??!! one side of the crust was like charcoal black and the burnt bits like ashes crumbles under my touch..... (see my photos!) - please don't tell me that Canadians here like to have burnt pizza?? and even the bottom is burnt to in some part to a certain degree.... - Pizzeria Libretto's management really need to work on some quality control... and please don't burn my pizza again.... please... - I cut out all the burnt part and have it piled on my side dish.... my waitress just gave me the look.. I hope she won't tell me that's the best part of the pizza... - Pizza itself is quite good, the crust is so thin and light ...one of the thinnest crust I ever have outside of Italy Vanilla Gelato (+1 star) - I am all cool again when they feed me the gelato. Gelato so creamy and heavenly I would happy to give Pizzeria Libretto another try but only during lunch time... I will have to tell the kitchen NOT to burn my pizza... I will wait patiently for my food.. please don't ruin my lunch! read more

Has achieved near legendary status in the annals of 6ix gourmet pizza. But doesn't quite live up to expectations. Got the pepperoni pizza. Service was quick and ingredients are fresh.

Lots of other pizza places are comparable at lower price points. read more

The events that brought us to this establishment could easily be a foodie's version of a Rom-com with a happy ending. Boxing day on Ossington was quite a challenge. We walked down the block and almost every restaurant either had a 1.5 hr wait or were closed. Almost giving up hope we see Pizzeria Libretto open. We ask them if they have a table for 6 and we get the thumbs up. After 45 mins of walking the strip and it being fairly cold. We take our chances and request to be seated. Feeling defeated - rejected and somewhat desperate. What happens next is the perfect story book ending. After being chaperoned to the back- and peaking at fellow Italian food lover's plates. My eyes were wide open with enthusiasm and the scents coming from the kitchen and that beautiful clay oven- felt like the scene in a rom-com when the tension between guy and girl lock eyes and the camera starts panning closer to the face for the inevitable lip lock that creates all the magic in the movie. After several variants of Margarita pizza's- incredibly cured pepporoni and salami pizza's. Pasta with great texture and convincingly fresh and authentic sauces. We throw in a tiramisu for the hidden scene in the ending credits. I recommend pizzeria Libretto for a feel-good time that will leave butterflies in your stomach! read more

When in the mood for pizza one day, my father suggested Libretto. We went on a Friday night and waited for a good hour to sit down. They do not take reservations and are opened only during the evening hours. I don't live Downtown and found parking to be an issue. The service was great and the servers were quite helpful when debating as to which pizza would taste the best. The pizza was mediocre - I have had better. Come here if you plan to go out on Ossington after your meal, but I would not tell anyone to come here unless you're in the area. read more

Came here on a Monday evening and we were seated quickly as it wasn't very busy. The server, Aili, was really nice and helpful. I ordered the lunch special, which is available until 5. You get a pizza, salad, and 2 pieces of biscotti. I got the lunch special with the Bufula Ricotta Marinara and pizza and Beet side salad. The pizza itself is quite big and definitely enough for one person. The side salad and biscotti were also really good. This is an authentic Italian pizza place though so the prices are a bit higher. I would advise against the pasta as the portion size is really small. My friend got the $15 Linguine and compared to my pizza, which was $16, his portion was much smaller. The atmosphere here is as expected from a more expensive Italian restaurant. Mostly families and older folks at the restaurant. Overall, I would recommend this place and will come again. Despite the price, I think the value is there, especially if you get a lunch special. Great experience as a customer. read more

This is a loud restaurant. As new parents, we're still a bit nervous taking our little one out, despite her being generally very quiet. At this restaurant, it couldn't have mattered less. You are definitely not hearing a crying baby. Maybe that's a plus or minus for you, but regardless...it's loud.   But onto the food...I've been here (to this location) a few times now, so I can definitively say that the amazing pizza I had the first time wasn't a fluke...the pizza here is just GOOD. There's something about Neopolitan pizza (I think it's that you can eat a whole one, without feeling the same kind of gross as if you'd eaten a whole Pizza Pizza pizza), but the simplicity of their pizzas means that you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. If you're lucky, there are a bunch of toppings you don't like, and that will narrow the choice for you - but otherwise, good luck. Pick a random number. Have a friend order for you. It doesn't matter. The dough is going to be delicious, full of sauce, and covered in fresh versions of whatever toppings you landed on.   I'm sure all their appetizers are good, but we tried out the meatballs, and I loved them. Very saucy and very cheesy.   We had great service too. It was busy, but we never felt rushed to finish our bottle of wine. read more

Pizzeria Libretto - Bufala Margherita. So good. - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My husband and I visited Toronto for the first time a couple weeks ago, and we decided to get lunch in Trinity Bellwoods, as we wanted to explore the neighborhood. Pizzeria Libretto seemed like a solid choice, the original location of a local mini chain (it turned out there was another location right by our hotel) specializing in Neapolitan-style, with a lot of love on Yelp. It was a lovely spot, the kind of place I'd go to again and again if I lived in the area. We went for a late lunch, around 3:30 on a Saturday afternoon, and we showed up with stomachs rumbling for pizza. We were seated immediately, but the place was pretty busy for that hour, and I wouldn't be surprised if it got packed during peak meal times. The space was cute and hip, with cool hanging lights and a gallery wall. I liked the atmosphere, which was casual and relaxed but more trendy Neapolitan pizza joint than New York pizza by the slice. Service was friendly and attentive, and there was a full bar. We tried a couple of the rotating guest taps--the Henderson's UPA and the Flying Monkeys Saison, both great. I also tried one of the cocktails--the Toronto, made with rye, Fernet, and bitters. This was excellent, smooth and balanced with the cool herbal flavors of Fernet. It cost $12 Canadian, must cheaper than an equivalent cocktail where I live in LA. The food was fantastic. We shared a small antipasto platter to start, and it came with a strong selection of meats and cheeses: chorizo, soppressata, lanza, and speck; a cow's milk blue, a nutty sheep's milk, and a cheese made with ale and mustard called Red Dragon. The platter also came with marinated olives; fresh baked bread that might've been made with the pizza dough, pliant and nicely seasoned; and a housemade bomba, a spicy, tapenade-like spread that was delicious with everything. The pizza was some of the best I've had in recent memory, fresh fired individual Neapolitan pies with bright, flavorful tomato sauce and nicely charred crusts. I got the nduja while my husband stuck with the Margherita D.O.P. and we were both quite happy with our meals. The pizza was thin and floppy, definitely on the wet, soggy side, the slices easier to eat folded up. I guess it could've used a little more structure, but it tasted wonderful. The nduja came with tomato, garlic, oregano, basil, mozzarella, stracciatella, and plenty of zesty nduja sausage. Really good stuff. This was a tremendously satisfying meal for two hungry people craving beer and pizza. We had a great time at Pizzeria Libretto, and would recommend it to anyone looking for Neapolitan-style pizza in Toronto. read more

My wife and I usually stop at this place anytime we're in the downtown area. The pizza here is awesome. I always order one Margherita and 1 Nduja Sausage. They also have this flavourful spicy olive oil that's great to dip the crust in. I also appreciate the good service. The waitress noticed that my wife and I were going to a TFC game. She made sure to give us quick service. Great place to stop by if you're in the Ossington area. read more

There's many more better! Not up there. Services kinda scattered too. Not a lace I would recommend.

I was told this place is really amazing it is I was told I wouldn't be able to get in without a reservation. I got in just fine without one with zero wait. I swung by here on a concert night and I had a really good time with what was served. the waitress was super friendly, eager to help/make suggestions, and was very attentive to the time situation that I had and went out of her way at every step to inform me when other food was coming etc.(I hope that makes sense) my appetizer was absolutely awesome, super fresh, very balanced, creamy and rich in flavor and depth. the calamari was absolutely awesome and fresh, my complain was the oil and the sauce that came with the calamari, I would have much rather have the calamari without that sauce. the pizza that I ordered was really good, but I was a bit disappointed with the rapini being the stalks rather then just the leaf part(it was later explained to me that the stalks were more preferred over the leafs in Italian culture, im not a fan sad to say) the pizza other then the stalks was a killer pizza to eat. the dessert was the best piece of the meal, black forest budino...man it was so delicious, I wish that pizzeria libretto did different sizes of this dessert, cause I could have had a couple of these snacks all to myself. parking options are on the street, side streets, and private lots in and around the area. transit options are the 505 Dundas streetcar/bus and the 63 ossington. cant wait to come back and try other versions of pizza that they have on the menu, would highly recommend for some items, the service is really good as well. not a bad meal for a Friday night before a concert. read more
