Now this is real pizza!

Rated this place:

Favourite ECO-ASPECTS 1. supporting local and sustainable food - try the margherita pizza to understand what using the best ingredients does for a simple dish! 2. They filter our Toronto water on site and fill simple glass bottles and serve...happily…without charge. Make sure you get to their door early (read as: right when they open, check website for times) because it’s the only way to get a table without waiting, no reservations are taken. Libretto deserves the success…delicious and unpretentious real food at real prices. They claim to be “Simple, Natural, and Honest.”, I couldn’t agree more.

Perhaps the best test of a good pizzeria is its simplest pizzas, like the Margherita. And Pizzeria Libretto does not disappoint with this or any of its other great options, like the delicious Wild Mushroom one. All of the pizza is cooked in a fantastic-looking wood-burning oven, which was made by a traditional pizza oven maker in Naples and then shipped over. How’s that for authentic! In addition to pizza, they have a great selection of appetizers (try one of the delicious cheeses) and desserts. A fun place for a quick bite with friends. Or if you’re not in the mood for a night on the town, they also do take-out.

Pizza

Rated this place:

Fantastic. You can definitely tell the difference between wood fired ovens and regular ovens. I ordered the Quattro Stagione (4 seasons) and each quarter was absolutely delightful. However, I ate a slice of my friend's House-Made Sausage pizza and that definitely took the prize. The meat was rich and demanded the spotlight in an otherwise subtle pizza. It's got a lively atmosphere and the wait staff were polite and prompt. But expect to wait in line as it garners more attention.

Pizza

Rated this place:

The pizza here is wonderful - thin crust Neopolitan style, with fresh organic and often locally sourced ingredients. For that matter, all the makings are also certified in accordance with an Italian code of gastronomic authenticity and purity - read the menu for more on that. The pizzas are delicious works of creative simplicity - 3 or 4 well-matched ingredients on any one pie. Salads and bruschettas are equally scrumptious. Enjoy a sausage pizza. Mmmm. And the great vibe too.

This new place totally rocks! The vibe is fantastic and the food is totally special. I am so excited to have this new place in my hood. The pizza is true Napolitan style pizza and the wine list is fantastic.

Marinara pizza, Trendy pizza place

Rated this place:

The pizza at Pizzeria Libretto is well worth the wait (On a Saturday night expect to wait approx. 30 minutes for a table, but pull through- there's light at the end of the tunnel!) Without a doubt the best and most authentic pizza I've had in the city - the pizza marinara was so garlicky, soft, tender and bursting with flavour. I asked them to add mushrooms to it, which meshed well with the large cloves of garlic!

Forget the large chains, Pizzeria Libretto cherishes the art of pizza. This casual-yet-trendy pizza joint on the Ossington strip is the perfect place to go for good, hearty food and a light bill. Check out the cool light fixtures above the bar when you're there..they're nice to look at while you wait in line for the newest gourmet pizza experience in the city!

It's definitely the best Pizza Place in Toronto, with casual Italian ambiance (I'm a huge fan of communal tables), fantastic service, and the best pizza I've ordered in the city. In addition, they have a strong commitment to authenticity and quality, which they detail on their website. They also have strong green commitments - for one, if you order take-out, you bring your own tupperware.
