Pizzeria Libretto

Located in Toronto’s "Little Portugal" neighborhood is Pizzeria Libretto, specializing in real authentic Neapolitan pizza. With a strong belief in preserving the culinary heritage of Napoli- the birthplace of pizza, Pizzeria Libretto stands above many others.

What is their secret to making great tasting pizza? They use local, natural ingredients and bake it in a wood burning oven, hand built exclusively for them by a third-generation pizza oven maker from Naples, Italy,  achieving a crisp, charred crust that adds texture and even more flavor to the pizza. 

Using the freshest of ingredients, Pizzeria Libretto uses San Marzano tomatoes, which come from Mount Vesuvius in Naples, and Fiore di Latte Mozzarella, delivered daily.  Their dough is made with 100% organic stone ground flour and leavened naturally.  From the ingredients used, to the preparation process, Executive Chef, Rocco Agostino, ensures that Pizzeria Libretto delivers fresh, flavorful, and authentic pizza made with the most important ingredient of all: passion. 

The options available at Pizzeria Libretto are endless.  Whether going for lunch or dinner, the choices available will leave you deciding what to have first!  Traditional Italian Antipasti (appetizers) like warm mixed marinated olives, calamari, bruschetta, and seafood are just some of the options available.  They also offer a selection of Italian cured meats, like salami and prosciutto. When it comes time to decide which pizza to have, the options are all equally delicious. 

Whether you prefer a meat or vegetarian pizza, there is something for everyone.  At the end of your meal, indulge in some great Italian desserts, like Tiramisu, biscotti, or Gelato-just to name a few. Pizzeria Libretto also has a great selection of sparkling, white, and red wines.  Great company, a homey atmosphere, and delicious pizza will make for a good time out at Pizzeria Libretto.  

HelloToronto Tip:  Pizzeria Libretto also offers both lunch and dinner prix fixe menus, consisting of an appetizer, pizza, and dessert.  Lunch: $15, Dinner: $25.
