I'm not typically a pizza-fan but decided to come here upon a friend's suggestion. I ordered the Prosciutto & Arugula ($19) - it was delicious, not a typical fast-food pizza quality. Instead, this pizza was made well with fresh quality ingredients. read more

Pizzeria Libretto - Fresh bread on the house - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a larger, more spacious Libretto than the Ossington joint. Beautiful high ceilings with cool light fixtures. The food is on point. It's pretty much the same menu. We ordered the large charcuterie board, two plates of calamari, and 6 or 7 different pizzas to share amongst a group of 10 people. Some people ordered some beers and I had a cocktail. My cocktail was really good. Something Daughter? I can't recall now. At the end of our meal, two tiramisus were ordered, an affogato, and some coffee. The service was very good. It was attentive and pretty quick too. I would come back here before heading to Ossington. read more

In the Toronto Yelp community we have an ongoing Unofficial Yelp Event called Perfect Pizza Quest and this was the 7th iteration. I was asked earlier if this is in fact an actual search for perfect pizza or if this was just an event. I had answered that it's an event but knowing there's no such thing (as perfect pizza), the search will never stop and (the event) it will never end. This was my first attempt at organizing the PPQ and we had a decent turn out of almost 20 people. To get that many people into a restaurant in the downtown core on a Friday is a challenge but Pizzeria Libretto was more than helpful. Yes they take reservations. That is a huge deal considering I had large group (almost 20) coming on a Friday evening. Mind you the maximum they would allow for a single reservation was 10 so I had actually asked 2 more people to make reservations but it ended up we didn't need more 20. You can make reservations on line through Open Table or I did through the Yelp app but making an online reservation only allowed a maximum of 2 patrons per reservation. I did of course have to end up calling them and speak to a person there. There was no guarantee that we'd get seating together but I did intimate that we were a large party together and that the secondary reservation that I had asked somebody else to make well in advance, they did their best to seat us together and it ended up we were two long tables side by side in our own sort of area by the back near the ovens. The location works out well, being in the core and basically just a couple hundred feet away from St. Andrew subway station, it's easy to get to this restaurant at the north east corner of University and Pearl. A few of us were there for before 7pm and we were promptly seated as more and more of the party showed up. They have a modest collection of beers to choose some and some wine to select from. Our server took to the time to explain how their pizza is served and what we would expect. Libretto is a certified VPN establishment as well as DOP certified. Our server went on to say how the pizza is served and how the crust is thin, slightly charred on the outer and more moist on the inner parts. For some of us this was a given since we've had authentic Neapolitan pizza before but it's a good way to explain to the patrons who aren't familiar with Neapolitan style pizza and are probably used to something else. I had started with the calamari because my Yelp friend Darrin C told me it's amazing. I have to say anything he says I will get now since he basically got me to try Korean fried chicken. The calamari I have to say was just OK. I wasn't so blown away by it and it wasn't because expectations were high. The real deciding factor of how well Pizzeria Libretto was going to do with their pizza. I had ordered the duck confit pizza and my wife had ordered the funghi. I had asked our server if the Meal Share program was only for the duck confit and she said for now it is but that they will rotate the Meal Share menu item around so it would be something different in the future. For those that do not know or not aware Meal Share is a charitable organization that promotes restaurants to donate meals to their program. The way it works is that if you order a Meal Share item on the menu, the restaurant will donate a meal. The pizza was as I had expected but I loved the taste of the duck. I had a slice of my wife's mushroom pizza and it was great. I was sort of surprised that they actually sliced the pizza. Some Neapolitan places don't slice it but I didn't mind that is was sliced. I would have ended up slicing it myself if they hadn't. Overall I was very pleased between the reservations, professionalism, service, food and organization and accommodation. One of our group accidentally spilled a beer all over the table and floor and not only did they come over to help us clean up but they also took it off the bill. For having about 2 tables of 10 we were all given individuals bills and those that wanted to combine were combined when asked and they did not impose an auto-gratuity either. On top of all of this as far as authentic Neapolitan pizza goes it's one of the better ones I've had and their pricing is not ridiculous either. read more

Finally got to try Pizza Libretto - excellent Pizza. Just loved it. 4.5 stars, So happy this location opened up close to work on University. I wanted to try this Pizza for almost two years... Happy to say I was not disappointed. What a nice surprise - about 6 craft beers on Tap. This always makes me happy. Good wine selection as well. Service was excellent during the busy lunch hour. The server explained the menu and eagerly offered recommendations. He checked in on us throughout the meal as well. Started with the Beet Salad. Nice portion and the Mozzarella was perfectly fresh. Just melted in your mouth. On to the pizza. We ordered two Pizza's to share - the Margherita and the sausage. OMG this Pizza is stupid good. Loved the homemade tomato sauce, crust was nice and thin, cooked perfectly. Topped with that super fresh mozzarella again. The sausage was excellent, nice and spicy - incredible flavor. Yummy in-house Vanilla Gelato to end this perfect meal. What can I say... I can't wait to return and try all the Pizza's. TIP - $15 lunch special - app, full pizza and dessert... What a deal for food of this calibre. Note - some of the specialty Pizza's have an extra $5 charge ($20 lunch special). BK read more

We had a very large group; 3 tables worth! Unfortunately, we could only get 2 of the tables near each other, but we worked it out to have everyone together. It's a beautiful venue, large windows, high ceilings and comfy booths. As a bonus, they were have featured pizzas that goes towards the MealShare program. This place also has pizzas certified authentic by Italy. Let's do this! The server was very friendly and knowledgeable about, not only the food, but the certification by Italy and what it means. We ordered the Buttermilk Fried Calamari and I chose the Ontario Prosciutto pizza for my entrée. The calamari was pretty good! Not chewy and the batter was crispy and little addicting. It came with a red pepper almond sauce that was to die for. I wanted to dip everything in it. The pizza was exactly as advertised; super thin pizza with a fluffy crust and fresh toppings. It is not the pizza you have delivered to your house, so don't expect it. The sauce is crushed tomatoes, not tomato sauce. It's more acidic and tomato-y than I expected; the flavours are strong. There was a generous amount of mozzarella spread over the entire pie. The prosciutto sliced so thin, you could see through it. It was delicious, just like my uncle makes! This is definitely a pizza I could get used to. It was a Friday night, the service was phenomenal; the place was packed! Our drinks were refilled, plates taken away and tummies full. They even gave us separate bills with no hassle. I now see what all the hype is about. read more

So I love, LOVE both Pizzeria Libretto's on danforth and on ossington. So why not stop by the one on university as well? Maybe it's just this one experience, but I found the service here to be quite.. Not there. We walked roughly half an hour before our waitress came to take our order, and even longer for food, and even more longer for our check (don't they want us to leave after eating?!). Of course the food itself was a beaut, it always was. Sardines: I loooooove the salty bits of fish mixed with the slightly sweet tomato sauce. Pick this one if you love sardines (obviously, BUT ITS ACTUALLY SO GOOD). It's one of my fave dishes and its kid of sad but I've tried almost all of them. Overall, I would avoid coming to this Pizzeria Libretto and go to another one (also it's super crowded because it's smack downtown). But the quality is still deliciously the same as the others. read more

I really enjoyed the pizza and atmosphere at this place! It was a nice summer day when I went so we were able to sit outside in the patio. All the waiters were extremely nice as well! We ordered the Arancini (italian rice balls with cheese inside), the Duck Confit pizza and a special they had with soppressata (spicy salami). We really enjoyed everything that was ordered, especially the Arancini balls!! The green sauce with it (I think it's mint and parsley) went really well with the arancini !! You should definitely try it! read more

Quickness is the essence of the war - Sun Tzu Since the beginning of human civilization, mankind has failed to ascertain two things: death and time. Countless stories of human lives over the years have been focused on time and its elusiveness to our essence. The Greek Titan Cronus, in a futile attempt to prevent the overthrowing of his position from the throne, ate his own children to maintain his status as king over the millennia. Many regrets, choices and outcomes have been blamed on time, some on its quickness and often on the lack of amount given to us. Dr Suess perfectly captures the feeling of time with the quote "how did it get so late so soon". One day you wake up and realize many years have gone by. Pizzeria Libretto produces simple, original and delicious pizzas in a blaze. Like a forgotten song of childhood, their pizza brought me right back to my time in Naples enjoying fine wine and classic neapolitan pizza. Perfect crusts with blistered peaks, light red-tinged sauce and scattered mozzarella pays a respectful homage to the cuisine of Naples. The simplicity, timing and consistency is what makes this restaurant so good. 5/5 read more

I ordered the PROSCIUTTO DI PARMA & ARUGULA; The pizza taste exactly like the ones I tried in europe (Croatia specifically), I enjoyed the crust. Everything was good in general and was what I expected. I thought the portions would be smaller like Blaze's. The only con I would say it is expensive : it was $19 for my particular one, this is probably my favourite pizza in the city due to the style. I will not come here often because it will make me broke. read more

Not bad. Toppings were good, but the dough was much too soggy. Overall, I'd say good, but not great. That being said, I'd probably be back to give it another try since I work so close. Tip: it gets very busy at lunch, so make a reservation well in advance if possible (they do Opentable) read more

Great service, nice ambience and delicious authentic Neapolitan pizza. They are always busy there so make sure you make a reso if you are going for lunch, otherwise you won't get back to work in a hour. The positive is they offer a prix fixe lunch menu! For only $25, you get an appie, (must try the pear arugula!) selected pizza (or choose any pizza on the menu for an additional $5) and a dessert! My recommendation is to get the vanilla gelato and order an expresso separately to make an affrogato!!! You will need the caffeine kick after all the yummy crispy pizza dough. read more

Pizzeria Libretto - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I tried this place for the first time with a girl friend on a friday. Arrived at around 630pm and got seated right away. We ordered kale salad, crispy calamari, daily special pizza with spicy salami, and finished with espresso gelato and ttiramisu for dessert. I would give 3.5 stars for its food and 2.5 for its service. Appetizers were great, not a big fan of their pizza. The crust reminds me of naan or pita bread, i personally prefer crispy dough. When we inquired about whether it is supposed to be soft dough, our waitress said we could order well done next time since its how they normally make their pizza. Tiramisu was yummy, so so for the espresso gelato. I found the service quite unsatisfactory. The waitress had no smile to begin with, and after she dropped off the dessert, she asked us if we want the bill right away. The moment we finished dessert and started sipping coffee, she asked if we needed the machine. Feel like we were rushed to leave. We enjoyed the evening, but would rather try a different place next time and wont come back. read more

Came here on a recommendation from and friend and really liked it! Great atmosphere and didn't have to make reservations, we were able to get a table and were given a reasonable 1.5 hour time slot before a reservation coming in. Love the decor it's really homy and comfortable, there is a good space and it's not too cramped. The service was good, attentive and fast just a little awkward. The pizza was just how the server described it at the beginning of our meal. It's a Neapolitan style pizza that's baked in 900 degree oven which comes out a bit charred on the sides and soft in the middle but still thin crusted. It was perfect. Our meal even came with bread to start! Definitely going to return here to get my pizza cravings satisfied. read more

Came here for dinner right after work at about 6pm and dined at the patio. The patio is ideal in maximizing sunlight, breeze as well as city view, we were also seated right away. I've frequented this pizza place several times and the food never disappoints. On this occasion we ordered the octopus carpaccio as an appetizer and the featured tomato pizza. The pizzas are thin crust and baked in a brick oven giving it a awesome texture, this occasion was no different. The tomato pizza had four types of tomatoes and despite that it was not soggy at all. The octopus carpaccio was very refreshing, the octopus was cut thinly and seasoned with lemon as well as mint with a potato chip to top it off. When we come we usually get the buttermilk fried calamari which is highly recommended. The calamari is usually crispy and seasoned really well. read more

Pizzeria Libretto - Outdoor seating - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I checked out this place while stuck in toronto for 5 hours (transit time!). They have a nice kinda private patio and simple modern seating space inside. I had a drink, a vegetarian glutenfree pizza and coffee. All was agreeable. For me the key point, and the reason I'm giving this place 4 stars, is that I'm gluten intolerant and they had gluten free pizza crust and that the taste and the texture was very very satisfying :) to top it off, my server was particularly kind and patient with all my customization requirements. So if I'm stock in Toronto during transit time and craving pizza, i know where to go :) read more

I heard a new location had just opened downtown and I've been meaning to try it for a while. This location is huge compared to the Ossington one. When I arrived there was plenty of tables available, We were sat at a high top for 2. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We started things off with the fried calamary whitch was dellcioso. Next we each had our personal pizzas I went for the anchovy & buffala mozzarella pIzza as I was feeling adventurous =) no regrets here. Everything was quite good I just wish the atmosphere was a bit more 'hip" like in their other locations. It almost seems like this location is focussed on tourist and bussiness men. read more

Pizzeria libretto is our go to restaurant when we have a big group and want excellent food. The pizza is authentic Neapolitan style and is baked in a stone oven. The flavours are amazing, I usually get their feature pizza but also love their duck confit pizza. I love their wine and cocktail list, I had the white negroni and it was perfect. Their calamari is so tender and beautifully presented. Last night I had their dessert and tried the torta - a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream covered with honey and orange zest. It was delicious but was so filling, I couldn't leave any because it was so good!! read more

Great ambiance, vast selection of wines and beers and of course, Neapolitan pizza! Started off with the kale salad and it was literally the best I ever had. The salad is massaged in a creamy lemon chili vinagrette and topped with crispy chickpeas. Had the salami pizza and was pretty disappointed. The salami was deep fried and tasted like burnt bacon. And the pizza wasn't as flavorful as I hoped. read more

Good after work dinner spot but would not go out of my way to come here. Service is hit or miss, sometimes very personable and attentive sometimes pretty meh and standoffish. Highlights: kale salad, arugula salads are awesome! The margarita is probably the best pizza - safe yet good. Tiramisu for dessert is what I would recommend. They have a good local craft beer selections esp if you're into IPAs! Average: I had the prosciutto arugula pizza which is so-so, and doesn't really come with cheese !! I've had the spicy sausage one as well, also only average. Aracinis were ok. read more

Food: 7.5/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Overall experience: 7.5/10 Although my scores would indicate that I would give a 3/5 stars, I am giving this pizzeria 2/5 because I really expected better. And while it is unfair to blame an establishment for the reputation that precedes it, potentially furthered by great Yelp reviews, I do and rightly so. My date and I shared the calamari to start. I liked that it came with a red pepper sauce, something different for a deep-fried plate, but in the end, that's really all it was. A deep-fried plate with red pepper sauce. We each had a pizza - 1 cremini mushroom (with your good rosemary, thyme, mozzarella, etc) and 1 that I don't remember the name of. It was a meat pizza and had basil in it (insert more generic Italian language here). The pizza was hot - a plus. But honestly, I was disappointed. The flavours seemed to falter - I kept on adding chili flakes to mine in hopes of giving it some punch, and the thrill of discovering a great pizza joint slowly wilted in my mouth and my head. The bottom line: the food ain't bad, but it will not be your go-to pizza joint for sure. read more

After hearing about this place from several friends, I decided to give it a try on a Friday night after work with a friend. I made the reservation a week in advance and when I checked the day of, bookings were completely full. The restaurant was a lot bigger than it looked from the outside, we were seated near the back where it was quieter and allowed us to chit chat and catch up. My friend ordered the duck confit pizza and I ordered the house-made sausage pizza. Both pizzas were white pizzas which I personally prefer over tomato based pizzas. The pizzas were a good size to share or have as a personal pizza. However, I thought that the pizzas overall were underwhelming and not what I had imagined based on what others have told me. The pizzas were dry (not much sauce) but also oily from the oil that is drizzled on top of the house-made pizza. To finish off, my friend and I decided to get dessert. The espresso cinnamon gelato was super strong, even for my friend who absolutely loves strong caffeine. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience but I don't think anything will pull me back to try it a second time. read more

I am surprised that this location does not have as high reviews as its two counterparts in ossington and greektown. Personally I felt the ambiance of this location to be more upscale and less crowded. I got the nduja sausage pizza for lunch, and was not disappointed. What I really enjoyed (and quite possibly would go back for) was the chocolate affogato - chocolate ice cream with hot espresso poured on top. The blend of a caffeine and sugar high was just what I needed after indulging in an entire pizza! read more

We walked by this place to grab a quick bite. The service was very good from the start. The servers are knowledgeable about the food and let you know about the restaurant. This place makes Neapolitan pizza. They bake their pizzas for 90 seconds at 900 degrees so food comes out from the kitchen fairly quickly. I believe they have a feature pizza that changes everyday. We started with the prosciutto di parmi and had the feature pizza (it was like a meatlovers type of pizza on tomato base). The bread they served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar was very good. The cheesy bread that came with the prosciutto was delicious! Their pizza was good but not the best. I had a lot of trouble eating it without making a mess. It was hard to cut into pieces and hard to hold with my hands because it's so thin. read more

This place has phenomenal service. The staff was friendly and attentive and made sure our time here was enjoyable. Our glasses were always full and the manager came by to explain the delay in our antipasto when we didn't even notice! We got the piatto grande and it was so worth it! Great share plate & very nice plating. It came with a soufflé like bread that paired well with the plate. Pleasantly surprised with the portion. For mains, we ended up getting the margherita and nduja pizzas. They offer chilli oil that pairs nicely with the pizzas. The oil isn't too spicy so be sure to give it a try as it brings out the flavour of the pizzas. The two options we had were very similar in taste but very enjoyable nonetheless. Overall I enjoyed my experience here & I would come back to try their other pizzas and antipasto if I were in the area. read more

We had a horrible experience. We went early and asked the manager to make sure that we got the bill so our guests would not have to pay. He said it would not be an issue needless to say the message was not translated properly to the wait staff who took payment from our guests who are from out of town. When I realized the issue they were of no help trying to rectify this problem. Also during our dinner when we asked the waitress to take a picture of the group she said hurry up I'm busy. No customer service skills at all. Finally the food itself was subpar and it's laughable what they call focaccia bread for a so-called Italian restaurant. We're going out and trying to have a good enjoyable time we were utterly disappointed at the lack of customer service and care that they pay attention to in treating their guests. Needless to say this will be the one and only visit to this location ever, and I will happily pass on our poor experience to everyone we know. read more

It was my first time at a Libretto and I think it was a miss for me, but a hit for dinner date. Definitely 5/5 for location and service. It is closer to the downtown core than the two others, which was why my friend and I decided to give it a try. We were seated close to the kitchen so it was nice watching them toss the dough! 3/5 for food. We weren't super hungry so decided to stick to ordering a pizza each. My friend asked for a recommendation (the nduja sausage pizza) and I perhaps was a bit too adventurous/ambitious and ordered the white anchovy. They give you bread to start but the pizzas arrived shortly after. I was pretty impressed with everything up to this point, until I cut into my first slice. I found the taste too bland. My friend's pizza was definitely more flavourful yet still unimpressive. One thing I did enjoy was that dough was really chewy and thin! I still have mixed feelings about Libretto and will probably be back to give it another shot. read more

I've been here for lunches and dinners and while I'm happy to eat here for either occasion, I have to say that their lunch combos are the better deal. For $15 at lunch, you get: -Your choice of pizza (between margherita or another choice that I can't remember at the moment, but you can upgrade to any pizza on the menu for an additional $3 or so) -Choice of appetizer, which I believe is between a greens salad or beet carpaccio (I recommend the carpaccio) -A dessert I also really enjoy the beef carpaccio, which although is not part of the lunch combo, I often like to get on a bed of arugula as part of dinner. Pizzas are thin-crust, heated for a short time in the brick oven. I tend to go for the margherita, but all of them are good, so no need to worry about picking a "bad" one. The one Libretto is known for uniquely carrying though is the duck pizza (don't get it if you really hate rosemary though). If you plan to come here during prime lunch hours, definitely book at least several days in advance. Otherwise, you're looking to at least 2pm before you can get a seat. This place is popular for good reason! read more

I walked into there on an afternoon to a pretty sparse restaurant. We had ordered the kale salad and special pizza of the day, (some fancy variety of ham, some fancy variety of cheese, crimini mushrooms, and truffle paste) The pizza was pretty soggy due to the mushrooms, and fell apart. The pizza was a pretty underwhelming considering it was $18. The ham tasted just like ham, and the cheese was just like cheese. The kale salad was actually pretty good. For $11 it had a nice dressing with roasted chickpeas on it which added a nice texture. Overall it was over-hyped and over-priced. When splitting this among two people this came to almost $25 per person (with drinks) read more

Came here two nights in a row. First night was great. Sat at the bar, server was pleasant and attentive. Second night came in with a group of five. Four of the pizzas came out on time while the fifth was wrong. By the time the correct pizza came out the rest of the table was finished eating. That person had his pizza boxed up and took it back to the hotel, essentially turning him from a patron to a hungry delivery boy. When alerted the manager refused to offer any relief, saying the correct pizza came out in world record time. Maybe in his eyes, but not in time for our friend to enjoy his dining experience. The white pizzas are good, but not good enough to pay full price to watch your friends eat their food and get yours 45 minutes later. With so many options in the area, don't waste your time with people that don't value your patronage. read more

Good wood-fired pizza. This location feels a bit like a ship galley with a bank of large windows on one side, bar/kitchen opposite. Pizzas are wood oven quick fired to perfection. I had the Proscuitto de Parma & arugula. I love the contrast of the salty prosciutto with the fresh, peppery arugula. We went to this location prior to a show on King. Perfect for this. Restrooms are on the main floor and have separate single accessible stalls. read more

Decided to try out this pizza joint but couldn't resist having their apps before we got to the actual pizza. Ordered the beet salad - fresh and came with soft cheese. A good combo in taste and texture. Arancini - deep fried rice ball with cheese inside accompanied with tomato sauce. This was OK in my opinion. I feel like cheaper pizza joints make better arancinis than this one where it feels like it's missing something. Gnocchi - with tomato sauce and cottage cheese (?). This one was my boyfriends favourite amongst the apps. Not the greatest pasta but was worth eating. Calamari - my fave amongst the 4 apps... a little too crispy batter, which hurt my mouth when chewing but the squid was so tender meaning fresh ingredients :) the sauce that comes with it completes it all!! Recommended! Pizza - we had the spicy one (forgot name). The crust was the best part... nice chewy crunchy crust. Makes you crave the creamy garlic dip from pizza pizza. The toppings and sauce are very different from typical pizza joints. Very fresh and well accommodating with the actual bread. The desserts are AMAZING. Had 3 desserts: Tiramisu, affogato, and the Panna cotta. All three were equally delicious. Must have them on your visit here. Also, the service is typical. Kind and welcoming. read more

I come here often for weekday lunches and I am a very big fan. The pizza is consistently good and well priced. They offer a prix fixed lunch menu where you can get a salad, a margarita pizza, and dessert for $15. You can substitute the pizza for any other pizza from their menu for an additional $5. Their salads are good, their pizzas are good, their desserts, service, drinks and atmosphere are all good too. I would highly recommend Libretto and I would also recommend making reservations as they will have longline ups. read more

We went here for lunch and shared a Margherita pizza with vegan cheese and a kale salad. I can't eat dairy and not too many pizza places offer vegan cheese so this was amazing.

Went here for lunch on a Friday, we were told that the wait was not long and that we could be seated at the bar right away, but we ended up waiting closer to 15 minutes. The wine was alright, i ordered the Niagara Riesling which was more tart than I was expecting but its fine. We shared the Hawaiana pizza, i actually enjoyed this but wouldn't have minded it a little more crispy. Service was alright, the bartender was pretty attentive. read more

So many people were hyping up this place for me but unfortunately it fell flat. The bread they give you to start was great - I could probably eat it forever if I wanted to. Ordered the calamari because everyone seemed to have ordered it - was pretty good! The sauce was great. Things were starting off really well. Then the pizza came, we ordered the prosciutto and arugula pizza and the homemade sausage pizza. There was something missing in the taste of the prosciutto and arugula pizza, and the tomato sauce was a little too strong. The homemade sausage was a bit better (more cheese?) but mad oily. Needless to say the pizzas were quite disappointing and not something I'd come back for. read more

Came in on a weekday for their prix fixe lunch, which includes a salad, basic pizza and dessert. We got one prix fixe lunch (Caprese salad, margherita pizza, chocolate gelato) and one duck confit pizza, with a side of calamari. The calamari was amazing. Very generous and beautifully arranged on the place. Every piece was nicely fried and the romesco sauce paired well. Would go back just to order this! Their pizzas were underwhelming. The crust was chewy but in a soggy way and not an outside crispy kind of way. This was disappointing since you can see them fire them up in an oven in the open kitchen...maybe the temperature wasn't hot enough. The duct confit with pear wasn't a tasty combination and there was so little duck that it became a pear pizza. Another thing we disliked about it was that whole sprigs of rosemary were placed on the pizza, which is very difficult to eat and the rosemary taste is too dominating. Gelato was good, but gelato's gelato. Conclusion: would only recommend the calamari here, it's the real winner. read more

I came in not knowing anything about this place, the prices, menu, restaurant name, etc. I didn't even know it was a hyped up place. We ordered a variety of pizzas. The Duck confit pizza (recommended by a friend) was superb. Their pizza is pretty good, it's freshly made and hot when served. I just felt it was missing something, like seasoning or olive oil. I enjoyed the calamari the most. The dessert and icecream were delicious! By the way, they have the BEST SERVICE and amazing employees. 5/5 for these guys.

I came here for lunch on a Friday and to my pleasant surprise, they offer a lunch menu! For the price of a normal pizza (~ $15) you get a three course meal.. Talk about value! For starters you get a choice of salad.. The one I chose was arugula.. It was perfectly dressed lightly with some thin slices of pear.. It was delicious. For the pizza, I chose a margherita.. You can change it to any type on the menu by paying the difference. For dessert they offer a choice of sorbet or biscotti. read more
