Their calamari would be considered their signature dish (IMO). However, the pizza are now a disappointment from yesteryear. They were once not as soggy. Their consistency of both quantity and quality has not diminished. I would prefer to see a less soggy pizza on my next visit. Perhaps I'll request it well done. Hopefully this solves the problem.

Ok, I haven't really been here enough to have a good handle on the overall quality of the food, but from what I have had here, it's worthy of three stars.

Friends and I had just gorged ourselves on delicious pho from Pho Tien Thanh down the street, and were heading up to College to catch the street car back home but were still hungry so....we stopped off to try Libretto. We ordered a medium... more

I am already preparing myself to be pelted by tomatoes for this review. I swear, I am by no means a pizza snob, and I can get down with a Domino's pizza every so often. Maybe I came here with expectations that were too high - after one failed attempt to go to the University location, I've had Libretto on my list for the past year. Don't get me wrong, the pizza was fine, but it wasn't anything... more

3 stars only because our server was pretty good. Our pizza took 45 mins to come out after we ordered. Burnt on the bottom and cold. A couple of tables arrived after us, ordered ate and left all before our pizza even came out. On a busy Saturday night slow service is understandable but to have at least 2 tables come in after us and leave before us is disappointing. Poor management of tables in... more

I have no idea why this place is getting good review. Traveled all the way and I was so disappointed. The service was horrible. Waitress refuse to suggest or recommend pizza. She basically told I don't have time to suggest anything call me when you are ready and walked away. Place was loud and crowded. Pizza was wet and you can see water dripping down from it. The dough doesn't bounce back when... more

With North of Brooklyn down the street, these guys shouldn't keep up their snobby demeanor. We've ordered take-out from Libretto at least 30+ times, have dined-in a handful of times. Has generally been decent.

My last experience was the absolute last time we will be ordering from them. Usually would call ahead for pick up, however this particular day I was walking by and decided to order at... more

Everytime I come here I am never disappointed! From the food to the service, this place is always outstanding. You can't find better pizza anywhere else!!

Pizza is amazing. Service is awful. We had to ask for menus. He asked if we wanted bread and never brought it out. After we inquired he brought it out after our meal arrived. Not somewhere I will return to anytime soon. Felt like we were troubling the staff the entire time.

This place is turning out awesome Neapolitan style pizzas using fresh, authentic ingredients and techniques. A great option for a casual no reservations type of dinner that consistently satisfies. The pizza is perfectly cooked with tasty options and flavourful crust. Venture into the starters and salads, you will not be disappointed. The calamari are crisp, tender and meaty, the salads are... more

This week I had my second visit at Pizza Libretto, the first was several years ago.

I had fond memories of the arugula salad and was not disappointed when we ordered it again. A lovely starter, accompanied by four small slices of bread, and a dish of oil and balsamic vinegar combined. Two slices were of a whole wheat variety and two were white, but a white of a light, airy texture, both were... more

This place is my religion.

Like the Phoenix, a bite of their delicious pizza will have you rising from the proverbial ashes. One bite! and you'll have the goddamn spiritual/emotional awakening you've wasted decades watching Oprah for.

I've tried every pizza on their menu, from the ever-classic Margherita to the red-hot Nduja Sausage. I'm equally well-versed in their Appetizers & Desserts. So,... more

Best pizza place ever. They have unique pizzas that are absoultly delicious. I've been to the Danforth location 2 times now and have not been disappointed. Can't wait to go back and try another kind of pizza.

Libretto is my go-to, come-as-you-are dining option that I keep coming back for. It's not fancy--so I have no problem dashing out in a sweatshirt--but it isn't devoid of charm either. It strikes a fine balance, makes a solid pie that carries out quickly and easily and offers up some nice salads and appetizers to tempt your tummy beyond the slice.

A standard greasy slice it is not, but a very... more

Pizza Libretto!!! If you want some quality pizza this is the place to go! I had went to the Pizza Libretto on 155 University tonight. It was good; however, I would still prefer the Ossington location. I have to say this place is just a little shy of the "Wow Factor!" I had gotten the Duck Confit, which was very delicious and enjoyable! Will definitely come here when I am craving pizza! Highly... more

Came here for dinner with my husband on a Saturday night. Wasn't too busy when we arrived (630pm) but it picked up as we were leaving (730pm). The atmosphere is a little noisy and there was this pesky fly that kept flying around our table since they kept the front door open. We were seated in a part of the restaurant where we could see the food being made and could see that the food was made... more

I went to this place for lunch and day drinking with my boyfriend and his brother a few days ago. It was excellent!

The server was so good, she was very knowledgable about the wine menu and was able to help us pick the perfect wine for lunch.

For food, the three of us split two prix fixes, each of which came with a salad, pizza and dessert. For salad we got the Caprese with the standard... more

I went to Libretto with a couple of friends as a recommendation for wood-fired pizza, which is not easy to find in Toronto. There was a 35-40min wait time but they text you 5min before your table is ready so in the meantime you can walk around Trinity Bellwoods which is a really nice area.

The service is really good, made us feel like we had a dedicated waiter just for our table. Everytime we... more

I was there with my friend before a show at Lower Ossington Theatre. This pizzeria was recommended grrr my colleagues at work and being a Terroni's fan, my bar is high. I must say I was quite disappointed at the food. While the salads were good, the pizzas were disappointing. The sauce was too watery making the pizza very soggy. It was never like this at Terroni's. When I asked about the wine,... more

Just finally tried this place out after hearing a lot of hype. Unfortunately it was a beautiful Saturday night in Toronto, which meant that any bar / restaurant along Ossington would be busy - which was annoying as they don't take reservations. Granted there were lots of options to have a pre-dinner drinks at while we waited for our table. Probably around 45 min for 2 people. They text you 10... more

I'm sure to came back again here.
Delicious pizza, nice atmosphere, we were satisfied with all.
For appetizer, I recommend beef carpaccio‼

We were referred here via a Yelp event promising a $3 special of their wild blueberry pizza. When we arrived, apparently we were misinformed as this location was not part of the promo (although the event said it was for all 3 locations). We weren't happy since we came all the way from Burlington so we settled with a Napolitano pizza. It was alright, nothing special. The pizza was quite soggy... more

I have been dreaming about the calamari since I had it several weeks ago. It's served with a fantastic romesco sauce with basil oil. The asparagus and whipped ricotta salad is very light and tasty. I had the special, a marinara pizza with ricotta and it was definitely the best pizza I've had in my entire life. The portion is fairly large to begin with, especially if you add on appetizers, so I... more

The calamari was really delicious and good portion. However, the white pizza was not an impression for me as a signature dish on the menu. I ordered tiramisu and strawberry ice cream for dessert but it were the same with tiramisu and strawberry ice cream everywhere and really pricy.

Got the duck and it was great. Friendly staff, fast service. The wine was a bit over priced for what they had. Try the lunch special, it's a great deal!

The pizza was DE-Licious! We ordered the flank steak skewers, the cacciatore salami and the DOP marinara. The skewers and the salami pizza were amazing! The steak was cooked to perfection and it melted in your mouth. The salami pizza had exquisite flavor and was not heavy. The marinara pizza though was just okay. It did not have a lot of flavor and was kind of plain.

The service on the other... more

fresh pizza i've tried!
but here is soooo noisy i've been

but maybe i will visit again

The staff was very friendly and the Ontario Tomato Caprese Salad was delicious. But the music was so loud and the other guests were yelling at each other that we couldn't understand the waiter. So we got pizzas without cheese even though he told us while ordering. The pizza base wasn't crispy at all. So they're definitely not italian approved like the pretend.

In a town that loves pizza and has a major pizza chain for every day of the week, Pizzeria Libretto carries the mantle as the belle of the ball when it comes to pizza.

The pizza here is delicious, yet the options are not limitless. Libretto works to serve only pizza that meets the highest standards for real pizza. everything from cooking temperature to the type of organic tomatoes are... more

We've had a lot of artisan pizza, and Pizzeria Libretto's Margherita ranked among the best. We ordered with extra mozzarella, which, if you're used to eating Americanized pizza, still didn't seem like much. On the other hand, if you're looking for a true Italian experience, it was right on the money-- I felt like I was in Europe again!

If we loved the pizza, though, I'm not sure how to... more

It's a good thing I don't live on Ossington, cus if I did, Libretto and I would be seeing each other weekly.

Duck confit pizza is amazing - crispy but still soft inside, with just the right amount of toppings. even better is their signature chili oil that you drizzle all over your pizza (I could drink this stuff). We also ordered a tower of their buttermilk calamari which was devoured in... more

I have to admit it--- I am sort of indifferent to pizza.

It may be the predictability of the cheese/bread formula, my everpresent although sort of incoherent fear of eating unhealthy (typed while literally warming up a brownie) or my only somewhat substantiated belief that I am lactose intolerant, but pizza rarely gets me. As a result, I went to the absurdly popular, ever lauded Pizza Libretto... more

Some of the best pizza in the city! Simply so delicious... Definitely check this place out. The line during peak hours can be long so don't go super hungry, but well worth the wait! Also, if you have room after dinner, you must try the tiramisu.... It's actually life changing.
Life changing.

Heard a lot about this place and finally made it for lunch on a Friday. Did not have to wait and got seated right away. Overall the food was very good. We opted for the lunch special which for $15 got us a salad, pizza, and dessert. Also, the staff was amazing - very friendly and helpful. The manager took my kids to show them the wood burning oven and even lent them t-shirts to take pictures... more

Not worth the hype. Pizza crust was burnt, tomato sauce was bland and the cheese was limited. Even the sparkling water was warm. Service was good. The calamari was the highlight of our lunch.

My favourite neopolitan pizza. I get the duck confit and the nduja spicy sausage, and often the feature pizza is great. Argula or beet salad is the perfect size for a green accompaniment so you don't feel so over carbed from crushing a whole pizza, which is easily done even for a small inactive frail tender 90lb women such as myself. Also the budino for dessert, because no matter how much I eat... more

My go to restaurant for many reasons:
Food is consistent and delicious. I have tried almost everything on the menu and recommend the burrata, any pizza w/gorgonzola, the rocco salad and the calamari. Drinks, especially wine, are reasonable priced.
I used to be a fairly regular (several times a month) customer at Terroni but I have not gone back there for years. Not only is the pizza at Libretto... more

Simply put- the food is consistently delicious and the service is great! Worth the 2 hr drive!

My partner and I were on a double date last Tuesday evening for dinner. We would recommend making reservations because it gets quite busy and loud. The bar has limited seating (maybe 5 or 6 bar stools) making it difficult to order drinks if you are waiting for a table. The kitchen is open and looked pretty clean which is a big plus for me. Here is what we ordered:
~ Calamari - Quite tasty and... more

A place worth trying,we came after friends telling us that they had some of the best pizza in the city.

This is what's we had:

butter calamari:crispy and tender one of the best calamari I have ever tried. 14 cad

meatballs and sauce: tasty meatballs surrounded by tomato sauce with cheese, the meat is just perfect and the sauce is rich and flavourful just a little too much cheese 10 cad

duck... more

Best pizza in the city and they have spelt crust! Make sure to ask for the chili oil. It is perfection and the staff is always friendly

I had the most basic pizza--the margherita, I believe--and it was amazing. I can't think of a single place that has better pizza than this place.

I loved everything about this place. The waiter knew the menu inside out and they gave great recommendations! I had this beet salad with a fried egg on top and also the arugala pizza. Definitely would go again!

Amazing, amazing, and what? You guessed it. Amazing! My favourite go-to restaurant. Delicious pizza (the duck confit is to die for), great selection of wines, trendy vibe and ambiance. And a heavenly tiramisu to finish with. What part of that does not sound like the perfect dinner out?

Went there with some friends on a Tuesday evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were very attentive to your table needs such as refilling your water glasses and taking empty plates away promptly.

The table came with free bread and oils to dip which was lovely. However, some of my friends were not into chili/hot foods and the oil dip had chili oil mixed into it.
We ordered the... more

Always an enjoyable experience.

Margarita pizza is great

Crazy busy most of the time... you'll have to arrive about an hour early on a busy night and maybe grab drinks at one of the local bars or diners on dundas

Doesn't live up to the hype

Came here on a Thursday night at around 8ish and had to wait 30 minutes to be seated at the bar. It was busy so service was not the best that night. There was a lot of waiting around for the food and drinks. Although, the staff were friendly. We ordered 'buttermilk' calamari and it tasted like boxed calamari on... more

Memories of Pizza in Napoli

Finally after a couple of attempts I was able to visit this place and try their pizza. Thankfully it did not disappoint. Service was excellent and the pizza was as close to the pizza I ate in Napoli. Many have boasted of making authentic Napoli pizza, but in my opinion have not made the grade. Pizzeria Libretto comes very very... more

Favourite Pizza Joint in the City

My partner and I come here all the time. It has a great atmosphere, extremely friendly service, and absolutely unforgettable pizza. I always seem to come back for the duck confit, a white pizza, which is simply mouth-watering. They have daily specials with some truly imaginative creations, so there's always a new option on top of old favourites. Their appetizers... more

A Must Visit Pizzaria in Toronto

I LOVE this place. It is one of my friends and I's favourite Pizza places in Toronto. Service is always excellent and fairly quick. Suggest making reservations because it's often packed :)

Best Pizza Ever

The homemade bread was fantastic - baked in house with with crust charred from the wood fired oven. It came with a hot chilli dipping oil - quite flavourful. The meatball and grilled calamari appetizers were both very good but the definite star if the show was the Margareta pizza - it was simply fabulous and the best pizza that... more

Got to admit its getting better

getting better all the time. So sang the Beatles and those lyrics reminded me of earlier experiences at this eatery--they had a ways to go yet. Pizzas were very inconsistent here, either burnt or undercooked. Bringing a relative here for a festive occasion turned out to be a bit embarrassing back then. Buit.....now things seem to have improved. At a... more

Real pizza by passionate owners

A nice cozy family style restaurant with reasonable prices for top quality product. I ordered the margherita with buffalo mozzarella and arugula on top. Incredible crust just like I had in Italyand the toppings were flavourfull and delicious. I had the tiramisu for dessert which came in a Masson jar. Different in the sense that the coffee flavour did not... more

Fantastic Pizza

What a great find! Excellent wood-fired pizza in a funky neighborhood. If you are in the area it is certainly worth a stop. Very unique toppings, excellent hand tossed crust, perfectly baked. The atmosphere is fun and service is top notch.

Found-Best Pizza In Toronto

Went on a Sunday for lunch. No wait at all. Ordered a pizza special. Homemade pepperoni, cheese and pickled peppers. Killer! A bit pricey-but you have to surrender to pay for perfection!

Nice popular spot, so so pizza

This is a popular pizza spot in Toronto for many years. It attracts a younger crowd in a more urban setting. On weekends there can be a wait time and frankly I'm not sure it's worth it. Noise levels are quite high and you're bound to be shouting across your table to be heard. Services levels are friendly. And like... more

Fantastic Authentic Pizza

The wait was about 30-35 minutes. Was worth it... The pizza was fantastic! It was only a couple shakes of the salt away from tasting exactly like the pizzerias in Naples Italy. Loved it and will definately come back to eat here.

Excellent

Great service, fantastic food, awesome atmosphere! Very lovely servers and the food is amazing. Despite it being a pizza place - don't be shy to try other options: the cured meat, cheese, gnocchi - all amazing!

Very good pizza

Delicious gnocchi and pizzas.
.................................................
Pizzas are kind of small (12 inches )

Nice place and food

We found a blog post telling this was the best pizza on Toronto so we decided to give it a try.
It was very good, we enjoyed it a lot! A personal tip, ask for prosciutto pizza and ask to add garlic. It's delicious!

Great service...food was ummmm....ok

We enjoyed this place for a few reasons. Loved the loud hustle and bustle atmosphere and we happened to get an amazing server who explained everything so well and was very attentive. Hostess service was great with a ten minute warning text message. Was the pizza the best ever? No, but it was good and the calamari was yummy if... more

Ridiculous wait times

We arrived at Libretto at 7 pm and were told that it was an hour wait for our table. So we went across the street to a fantastic bar called repisado for a drink. After an hour we made our way back to Libretto (now 8pm) only to be told it was another 90 min. We left and went to... more

Great Pizza

A highly recommended restaurant in the city! Great food, great service, reasonable prices. Even if there is a line up, it's worth the wait. I've been longing for some good pizza since returning from a trip to Naples, Pizza Libretto has definitely satisfied my needs!

burnt and raw

first time there...maybe just a bad night,,heard lots of good stuff about it but,not good. Ordered the classic Margharita(DOP) not so Dop at all. The dough seemed raw in the middle ,but burnt underneath,seemed that the dough had not risen at all....sauce was ok,basil seemed fresh but overall,couldn't finish it.staff was nice

Love the pizza

We've been to Pizzeria Libretto twice and have loved it both times. The crust in something between a pizza dough and a naan bread and it's delicious. Our favourite pizzas are the nduja sausage pizza and the housemade sausage pizza. The bread they bring at the beginning is fantastic and even better when dipped in the spicy oil they provide.... more

yummy pizza

pizza was blistery on the edges and lightweight everywhere else. toppings were plentiful. not too long of a wait for an early friday night dinner but this place gets very noisy and very crowded so table conversation isn't easy. service was okay, prices a little high. would probably visit again on a less busy night but not in any hurry.

Pretty good

This will be a short review, I went with my girlfriend and we shared our pizzas, I liked both but overall they were pretty average to me. It was my first time eating a super thin crust, I'm talking almost paper thin, and it was good. The crust started to get a bit soggy by the time we were finishing... more

Hip and happening, excellent pizza and the olive oil...WOW

Family members recommended Libretto to us and we were not disappointed. It was a busy Saturday night so naturally there was a wait for a table however the hostess took our cell number and we went next door for some cocktails and she texted us with a ten minute window when our table was ready. (convenient!) We were waited on... more

VERY good customer service and cool place.. BUT

My family and I came here about 3 years and and we had a great meal. We decided to come back here for lunch and I have to say although the staff is really great and the place is cool....the pizzas have gone downhill from our experience a few years ago.
Maybe they just had an off day when we... more

Hip place but

Food is good . Friendly staff and good service . Portions are on the low side . Prices are on the high side . Tries to be a hip place with nouveau cuisine ambitions . In general I do not understand why hip has to be more expensive than other "regular restaurants" . Why not keep the hip edge but... more

Delicious Price Fixe Menu! But be prepared to wait

We visited Libretto on a cold night in February of 2014. We were a group of six people and as this restaurant does not take reservations we were prepared to wait. However, we waited over 2 and half hours to get a table. Once we did get a table, our sever was excellent. The price fixe menu was awesome and... more

Wonderful pizza. Great service

This restaurant serves authentic, thin crust, Neapolitan pizza. The two pizzas we had (margherita and grilled eggplant) were both excellent. The service was fast and friendly.

Fantastic Pizza and Carpaccio in Toronto

Pizza you may find in every corner ... but not this real pizza.
And better than this, you find something very rare in Toronto ... Carpaccio ... if you do not know what it is, I encourage to to go to Libretto and taste it ... you will enjoy it ... unless you are vegetarian.
Don't miss this wonderful spot... more

Amazing Pizza

The Pizza is delicious! Very thin crust and all the ingredients are extremely fresh. If you like spicy, I suggest the spicy sausage. We had excellent service. We were at the Danforth location

Beautiful pizza

We shared a margherita pizza and a mushroom pizza. The margherita pizza was delightful but the mushroom pizza was so much more! I highly recommend this pizza for anyone looking for something authentic and delicious.
The service was great! We were well taken care of. Our waiter helped us pick a great wine to go with our meal. There always... more

Love this place

Whenever in this part of the city, a visit here is must. Whether it be business, family or a date, the food is fun, fresh and satisfying. Very casual atmosphere with welcoming staff eager to serve wine and Italian cuisine. Delicious, especially the left over pizza at home! They are wood fired and light. Non greasy and not smothered in... more

Pizza on par with Naples

Had the lunch prix-fixe ($15) beet caprese salad, marguerita pizza, and espresso gelato for dessert. I was recently in Naples and this pizza is equally as great as those I ate there. Highly recommended.

wish i was still eatting some

hands down best pizza in Toronto.
been here a couple of times and have never left disappointed.
there is often a waiting list to be seated but it is well worth the wait.
plus they do take out.
any pizza you get is served to you the way you like it.
the service is great, everybody working there always has... more

pizza not bad, too noisy and crammed

I would not call it best pizza in town, i have tried better pizzas in my life. However, it is still pretty good, dough is nice, i had mushroom pizza, it has really nice and deep mushroom flavour. Hubby had salami pizza that was a day special - and it was average. We had to wait one hour to get... more

Best Pizza. Ever

I would consider moving to Toronto. Just so that I could eat this pizza on a regular basis. It really is that good.
As others have said, either get there early, or go have a drink at one of the nearby hipster pubs while you wait for your table. It's worth the wait.

Amazing napoli style pizza

We had the one with mushrooms and cream and it was really good ! The only drawback is the time it takes to get a table but well we went there on a saturday so just plan in another day and you'll be fine !

Amazing Pizza

The food at Libretto is amazing! the pizza'a are probably the best you will have in the city! The menu has many meatless options which is great. The place is always full with a bustling atmosphere and service is friendly and efficient. What more could you ask for?

The best

I've eaten here about a dozen times and I've never been disappointed. It truly is the best pizza I've ever had. It's worth the money, trust me! The lunch special is always interesting and delightful. Meatball sandwich also rocks!

Matches the hype

Three of us went and we all ordered separate pies: Margherita, Ontario Prosciutto and Nduja Sausage. We all agreed the sausage was the best but the other two were really good as well. It's expensive ($14 -$17 each) for what you get but if you can finish one to yourself you will be stuffed. We all took home a slice.... more

Great Pizza

People gladly travel from all over the city to eat at this restaurant. It is crowded, noisy, but no one cares, the food is so good it is worth the wait.
Leave your phone number with the hostess and they will call you when your table is ready. In the meantime wander down the street grab a drink at the... more

Probably the best pizza ever

We stayed real close to Ossington Av. and wanted to have a pizza/pasta. The guy we stayed at pointed us at Pizzeria Libretto.
First we enjoyed a glass Steamwhistle (nice beer) and then we ordered a pizza. The pizza's are just perfect. A thin crust with just the perfect amount of toppings. Taste's like heaven!
Really, if you're somewhere near... more

Excellent

Our evening there was fantastic. The food was delicious, complimented by a great choice of wine from our lovely waitress. Unfortunately we don't remember her name but she had short, dark hair and a nice smile. She was so friendly that we were simply blown away. Later that night the manager came to our table to thank us and gave... more

The best pizza in Toronto

This restaurant had really good reviews, so we decided to try it when we visited Toronto.
We were not let down : first of all we were served incredibly fast (we got our pizzas about 5 minutes after having ordered them) and then we were thrilled while eating them. The dough was really well done and every ingredient on our... more

Living it up at Libretto

The past two or three years have seen an explosion of pizza offering around Toronto and Pizzeria Libretto has consistently led the pack.
One of a handful of VPN certified pizza places (i.e. endorsed by Italian government), Libretto is consistently excellent, though at times almost too popular.
Personal favourites include their buttermilk calamari as an appetizer and while they have... more

Fantastic Pizza

Make sure you make a reservation, otherwise you can just turn up and if you tables are available go and have a drink next door in the wine bar (Salt), a good excuse for a pre-dinner drink or two!.
The food is amazing and the service is extremely friendly and attentive.
Thank you... more

Best Pizza ,nice atmosphere

Located on Ossington & Danforth ( Portuguese area in Toronto) this Pizzeria offers the best pizza,
Made in the traditional Neapolitan manner.we started with buttermilk calamari accompanied with a delicious dressing, I strongly suggest to try,salads were great,and the pizza was something else, a thin crust baked with different toppings .A nice atmosphere,the personnel extremely friendly, Mathiew... more

Just like in Italy

Libretto is very busy so be prepared to wait for a table and your food but it is worth it. The pizzas we had were very tasty with a thin crust...if you like american pizzas that might not be for you!
The pizza there reminded me of one I had in Florence many years ago! Bellissimo!

Average

My girlfriend and I were looking for a new Italian restaurant in the neighbourhood and gave Libretto a try. We had the Grilled Peach & Prosciutto Salad, Caprese Salad, Ricotta Gnocchi Fritti, Buttermilk Calamari, and shared a pizza, the Margherita D.O.P.
My companion loved her grilled peach salad, said it had a nice combination of flavours. My caprese salad was... more

Tasty pizza

What makes a perfect Neapolitan margherita pizza? The three ingredients of course: dough, tomato sauce and cheese. Often, the cheese lacks taste, but in this place the bufala mozzarella really is bufala with the perfect taste! And to make it a complete meal: the appetizer salads and deserts are delicious as well. Only the best and freshest ingredients in this... more

Naturally, the pizza is excellent, but I really like the creative cocktails, lovely charcuterie board, and the affogato for dessert. If you go early, it is a good place to bring children (coloring books and crayons offered). Don't bother with takeout--thin crust pizza goes limp in minutes.

I love the little individual thin crust pizza's here, but I hate the crowds and service (sucks big time) on Friday's and Saturday's after 6pm. I'm not sure about how busy they are at any other time. For me, it's not worth driving out to Ossington Ave from Lakeshore and Bathurst when you get in the mood for their pizza with the uncertainty of how it will all play out.

Achingly good. Delicious and affordable wines. Boisterous atmosphere.

nothing special at all

This place was pretty disappointing. My friend said its great but the wait was ridiculous; the pizza was soggy. I would never return.

The pizza was soggy; I was expecting a spectacular pizza after waiting an hour to get a table. very disapointing and not worth the wait.

"""A locavore take on the authentic pizza craze sweeping the city...love the lunch prix fixe and the piadini. When it's crazy it loses its charm...but lovely staff, strong tight menu. A lazy friday afternoon treat."""

Pizza is authentic when you get it.. but gets soggy by the minute. So eat fast!

Great pizza. Lots of fun - worth the trip.

"""Great pizza, baked in an imported oven"""

"""a real find. very good food at reasonable prices. fun, hit ambiance w/ helpful & friendly servers. love their prix fixe lunch menu. a steal for 3 courses @ $15."""

I could eat here every night. The pizza's are to die for. They are cooked in a wood burning oven and are super thin crust with a variety of toppings. They don't take reservations but put your name in and then go walk around Ossington for a while - it's th

this high temp oven cooked pizza is a must. the light fluffy crust simply melts in your mouth. also try the buttermilk calamari. if this place is good enough for gaga you will go gaga to.

great pizza

Good Pizza. But not the best in town.

"""Grazie, PL, for the most authentic pizza this side of Napoli. Amazing wood-oven chewy crust perfection!"""

Overpriced and snobish place that doesn't have a foot to stand on - it is definitely not the best pizza in town

pizza is number one the king of thin amazing pizza lives here

one of the best pizzas in town.

Food's fantastic. Good looking place. But the noise levels... I'd rather stand next to a jet turbine.

"""Toronto's current fave thin-crust blistered pizza out of an imported Neapolitan oven on the city's upandcoming hippest strip, Ossigton Ave. Inventive sides and alternates. Small and crowded with almost communal seating, but nobody minds. No reservations--"""

Toronto is becoming a centre for great thin-crust pizza and Libretto serves some of the best.

Extremely good pizza -- if you can get in. Long waits on weekends and around 8 p.m. Other menu items less great (the calamri's an exception) but who cares.

Hands down best pizze outside of Italy.

Good pizza. Amazing crust.

Loved the place!! My friend and I went for a late lunch there and the first thing I loved was the decor, very unique and trendy! Next the service was great, our waiter took the time to carefully answer our questions about the menu items and recommended a great fresh white wine for us to try out.
PIzza was delciiouss, will definitely come back here and recommend all pizza lovers to try this... more

Whenever I go to TO, I include a night here. Literally, it is a night out. Show up anytime after 7pm and you're going to wait- longer with 5 people. Don't bother asking how long it will be- the time you're given is probably an overestimation, especially near the end of the night. However, once you're in, you're well-attended to and your food comes out very quickly. The olive app, and the local... more

With all of the hype we wanted to check this place out. We waited for 50 minutes to get in. The restaurant has local food but they could not deliver on their main hyped-up product, pizza. I do not profess to be a pizza connoisseur but soggy pizza, really? When we picked up our pizza all of the toppings fell into a gooey mess on our plates. Definitely would not recommend this place, I think the... more

Definitely place to go!!!

What a great place, We showed up right when they opened on a Sunday and I could not believe how fast it filled up. I did find that the Tables we to close together for my liking. overall I will for sure go back here sometime!

Went here with my girlfriend on Saturday night, and we were definitely impressed. They told us the wait would be 1.5 hours, so we went for a drink, and sure enough we got the call 1.5 hours later. It was well worth the wait, the pizza was incredible!

This is a pizza that every one should try. Absolutely unique in Toronto and great tasting !!

Great food, particularly the pizzas, odd decor, and inconsistent service; however, all of this does not justify the one hour wait for a table on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

A fun place to dine. Inventive pizzas, casual atmosphere. Long waits.

Real Neapolitan pizza if you can bear the wait in line

Superb pizza... yet not quite what you get in Italy.

Easily the best food I've experienced in Toronto. Pizzeria Libretto features southern italian style pizza baked in a wood-fired oven. Don't expect your neighborhood pizza parlor; eating at Libretto is a true culinary experience. Expect a wait. 7pm on a Mo

This place serves real authentic Neopolitan pizza. The service is fast, and the food is amazing!

Best pizza in Toronto!

Torontos best new pizzeria. Innovative pizzas including the Duck Confit and Bosc Pear Pizza. Always packed.

They don't make pizza like I'm used to in New York city but the crust was nicely cooked. Pizza could use alittle better sauce.

Great pizzas. Wait was too long.

The best tasting pizza in the west end of the city.

Pizza like the real thing. the wait is always worth it.

Good pizza from their imported wood oven. Not worth the wait to sit four people at a tiny cramped table. Would recommend but the place was so cramped that I had to go outside just to change my mind.

great vibe. excellent service. great food.

Unbelievable pizza - seriously best in TO. 221 Ossington Avenue At Dundas and Ossington
