Good place, Chill vibes, Good pies, overall good, recommend this place!

Had a pepperoni pizza and it tasted great! The dough had enough structure to hold up the toppings, be lightly charred without tasting burnt, and the pepperoni had a nice full flavour, I’ll be honest I came here since the line at “Badiali” was too long and I was hungry, but this place did not disappoint and left me satisfied that night.

Honestly it’s no perfect layout or super well thought out design in here but it was cozy and had enough seating for me and my friends. The person serving was helpful and nice to recommend things he thought we’d enjoy and the overall atmosphere was def smaller scale but in a very good way.

my friends and i were the first customers of the day!! we got a pizza to share. the waitress was very sweet and told us we can order more if we still feel hungry later, but we were alright. the pizza itself was great - i was very happy to get a bottle of chili oil along with it!!! overall very affordable even if you're not splitting the bill with anyone. love this place and will totally be back
HI STAFF THAT WAS WORKING THAT DAY ILY!
I was coming home from school and was HUNGRY. My phone was dying, my tablet was dying, I was dying. So I found this place on google and decided to check it out. It’s in the middle of a location filled with really great restaurants, so I was excited to check it out.
I walk in, and I can immediately tell the staff there were extremely friendly and chill. They were very warm when taking me to my seat. Now as somebody who listens to music on the bus, my phone battery was a tad too low to be able to do anything of the sort. I am so grateful that they took my phone and charged it, so thank you.
I wanted to go simple, so I ordered a pepperoni pizza. The sauce guys, THE SAUCE. ITS SO GOOD. OH MY GOD. And the crust wasn’t like bread, so I managed to eat everything at once. They gave chilli oil on the side, which wasn’t very spicy, but it definitely added more flavour.
I sat at the front so I can’t really speak for how the back of the restaurant looks like, but the front was quaint and nice. Because my phone was gone and charging, I didn’t have any music in, and kind of just people watched. It was peaceful.
I left with a full belly and satisfied, it was great.
As someone in the restaurant industry, I find that a lot of servers tend to judge people who eat alone and don’t get drinks or anything as they won’t be paid as much, so I’m always scared for that, but they were really nice. Even complimented my drawings- you guys made my week :) thank you!

Visited the Ossington Libretto on a Wednesday night and got seated right away (usually it’s extremely crowded). We ordered a Bruschetta, a Classic Margarita and an individual portion sized Tiramisu! The pizza is amazing and is very similar to Badiali’s Vodka Marg. Pizza. The portion size is really good esp. for Tiramisu!
Best neopolitan pizza I've tried in Toronto so far! The dough had the right amount of chewiness and wood fire burn. Tomato sauce was perfect, could use a little more mozzarella but dang I ate it so fast. Best of all, I got it on special. Best $13 pizza.
Decided to go here with a friend after visiting the University Avenue branch. I had a pleasant experience eating the Beets Caprese salad past winter, only to find that the summer menu switched the beets with heirloom tomatoes instead. So we ordered the salad and Margherita pizza as lunch special, and a full sized funghi pizza just in case.
I remembered being very impressed by the Beets Caprese that we ended up emulating it at home. The heirloom tomatoes version was not as memorable in comparison, perhaps because it triggered a fond memory of eating the same dish in Naples, with locally grown San Marzano tomatoes (making it an unfair comparison by far!).
The classic Margherita pizza was okay. The sauce came from canned San Marzano tomatoes, so it was less sour than other smaller pizza joints. Unfortunately, my funghi pizza had spots where it was very salty, and with strong garlic flavour. Next time I would follow the server's suggestion to get la bufalina pizza instead, as I recalled it being tasty during my previous visit.

Pretty nice pizza spot on ossington. my favorite was the gnocchi and the diavola pizza. Be mindful the diavola pizza is quite spicy. Pizzas are a decent size but the classics are relatively tiny
