Best Pizza in the city

With international travel on hold for a while I wanted to update the blog with a local post.
In a city as diverse as Toronto, it's hard to say with any sort of certainty which restaurant is 'The Best" in any category.  But I am convinced the best pizza in this city, by far, is Pizza Libretto.

This wood oven pizzeria opened on Ossington only a few years back but already has a popular following that would make most downtown restaurant green with envy. It's not unusual to wait upwards of an hour for a table, any given Tuesday evening.  Thursday-Saturday night you should probably have a snack before you head over and wait.  But I promise you, it is worth it.


My all-time favourite pizza's are either Nduja Sausage (Sausage, Tomato, Garlic, Oregano, Basil, Mozzarella, Stracciatella) or Ontario Prosciutto (Prosciutto, Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella). A slice of one of these with a nice glass of red wine is probably heaven on earth.

If you're not willing to make the treck downtown, Pizza Libretto has just opened a second location on the Danforth.
