Pizzeria Libretto

Updated: Loved it when they had a dedicated GF oven (one of the first restaurants I went to after diagnosis and gave me hope about eating out). Sadly those days are over for Pizza Libretto. Boo.

(Updated) while they still offer gf crust they closed the dedicated oven. So now cross-contact is likely. Sad! ☹

Also a hands down from me. This isn’t just incredible gluten-free pizza it is just pretty amazing oven-fired pizza. Would HIGHLY recommend. King W. is the only celiac-friendly location with a dedicated oven.

Celiac friendly?

No

They do not have the Gluten Free specific oven anymore.

Celiac friendly?

No

they were great but i’ve heard they’re removing the celiac-dedicated oven :(( so sad. i hope it’s just temporary

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff very nice and knowledgeable, however they cook the pizza in the same oven they cook regular pizza and I was told they have no celiac dedicated workspace. Fast service and delicious food though!

Celiac friendly?

No

Sadly, the King Street location will be discontinuing the use of a separate pizza oven for gluten free orders as of January 1st, 2020. Therefore, this will no longer be celiac safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

Best GF pizza in Canada!!! Celiac safe at the King St location...pepperoni is GF too!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’m one of the celiacs who also got sick here recently. It appears to be going downhill. Reviews have been amazing but I’m not the first celiac to get glutened here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Got the gf pizza tonight and was glutened. Broke my heart, I was so hoping this was going to be a regular spot for me. It tasted great going down...

The waitress was really helpful. GF crust for pizza available and it was DELICIOUS, but the menu does say that it is cooked in the same oven and regular pizzas.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was seriously the best gluten free pizza I’ve had. Love that they have a dedicated over at the King street location.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

DELICIOUS!!! The best gluten free crust I’ve had.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf pizza was amazing. My 5 yo son with Celiac is used to Udi’s frozen crust and didn’t like the pizza at Pizzeria Libretto, but we would bring him back if we visit Toronto again. It was REAL pizza and he tried it with no negative repercussions.

Great GF pizza and cooked in a separate oven at the 545 King St location. GF salad options too. Staff well aware of celiac issues. We had a very nice dinner!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The one on 545 Kings is AMAZING! Separate oven for gluten free and my kid (Celiac) says it’s the best pizza he’s had in a long time!!!! Almost all pizzas can be made GF and they are cooked in a separate over.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My five year-old has a wheat allergy. They were able to make his kids’ pizza on their gluten free crust. Per the employee we talked to, the gluten free pizzas at this location are made in dedicated area and in a gluten free oven. The gluten free pizza was really, really good. Also, they have vegan mozzarella if needed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We got into Toronto around dinner time and after reading reviews we head over to get pizza. It was one of the best pizza restaurants I have ever been to. Not your average GF crust, this was soft yet crispy. Downright delicious. I loved the unique toppings choice. Arugula on my pizza? Yes please! All of the staff we encountered were very nice, especially our server. Since we aren’t from the area she gave us suggestions on what to do during our visit. We plan to head back for more pizza on our last night here.

I ordered two pizzas gluten free and they made a mistake and gave me a pizza with gluten. They apologized a lot!! And I was rewarded with 2 free pizzas and I didnt had to paid the one I ate. That was very kind. So you may ask twice when they bring you the pizza and that problem is not going to happen :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow. I have not had better pizza in a longggg time. I only had a couple hours left in Toronto, and I popped in right as they opened on a Saturday before my flight and they sat me immediately and had a GF pizza ready for me in less than 15 mins. The pizza was amazing, staff is friendly and I’m so glad I made the time to come here. Could not recommend more!

Celiac friendly?

Gluten free pizza in a dedicated oven

Celiac friendly?

Dedicated GF oven for GF pizza. Also had homemade GF Vegan mozzarella cheese. Best GF, vegan pizza. Taste incredibly similar to regular pizza.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I can’t recommend their King location enough. Incredible service, amazing pizza. They even do this tasty “bread” with the pizza dough. As a starter. We go there regularly and I have never been sick - and I’m very sensitive to cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am sooooo happy I’ve found a pizza place I can enjoy eating without worry! The staff was very kind knowledgeable about gluten-free and cross contamination. I am SUPER sensitive and has no symptoms whatsoever the next day. Overall an awesome experience!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Simply AMAZING - the best we've ever had

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Incredible experience!! They have mastered gluten-free pizza, and this location even has a dedicated wood-fired pizza oven. It is delicious! Many apps and also the dessert gelato are also gluten-feee. They seemed to really know their stuff and kept everything GF separate. Service was wonderful! Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ok wow this place is awesome.

I am super sensitive celiac so I was a bit scared about eating in a pizzeria at all. So much scary flour around! But my waitress was awesome, ensured me they take cross contamination very seriously. My pizza was brought out separately from my non-gf friend's so they wouldn't touch, and they clearly said, "Here is your GLUTEN FREE pizza" upon arrival so there was no worry about the order being mixed up.

TLDR, best pizza I've had since being diagnosed 12 years ago. Didn't get sick. Service was amazin'. Bit pricey but you get what you pay for, and it's so, so worth it for a place with such diligence about gf. Will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

King West location has a dedicated gluten free pizza oven. Delicious and best pizza since diagnosis! Lots of GF choices. Staff were very attentive and went through the whole menu with us to identify each menu item that is gluten free. Our server has a family member with Celiac so they definitely understood. I do wish that they would put the GF pizza on a different type of plate or something, as when they brought out multiple plates of pizza, they all looked the same and I was nervous about that, it would have been very easy to have a mix up with a pizza that was not gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The King St West location has a specific oven for GF pizza and the pizza is quite good too! (We are Italians!) We went by mistake to the other pizzeria libretto and we the manager knew we were celiac he was so sorry...because the have GF pizza also in the other location but only in king West they have a specific oven in which they can guarantee a dedicated space for GF pizza...and the manager offered to pay us a taxy and send us to the king West pizzeria! Very honest!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The king street west location has a dedicated gf oven. They also have vegan cheese. Great service and very tasty pizzas!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing gluten free pizza. It’s been years since I’ve had an authentic pizza cooked in a wood burning oven. It was delicious. The rest of my group also enjoyed their regular pizza. My cousin from Italy was very impressed how good it was. Highly recommend this place!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gf pizza I’ve ever had. From what I’m told by staff restaurant is celiac friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dedicated GF oven. Staff was sooooo great about knowing which ingredients had gluten and had options to replace. They even brought out the GF pizza separate and clearly stated it was GF. Which is good to know cause the pizza is so good you’d totally think it had gluten in it! Definitely go, and then go again, it’s that good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Unreal, amazing atmosphere, servers are very knowledgeable about cross contamination. FYI lunch special is 16 bucks for 3 item lunch, Choice of 2 salads, a gluten free pizza which is roughly medium size (add 4 bucks for gluten free) and he pizza is ridiculously good. And then gelato for desert. Will be going back 100 percent

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgeable staff, they even knew definitively which meats had CC and which were safe. Dedicated over for GF pizzas, told me that the chefs also wash hands before preparing food, etc. DELICIOUS pizza, can’t wait to return.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gf pizza I’ve ever had! So good I thought it was a regular pizza!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Myself (Celiac) and another friend of mine (also Celiac) ate here for a late lunch on 2018/05/13. I got the gluten free pizza with sausage and tomoto sauce, he got the daily special, some sort of gluten free pizza with basil sauce.

We both got sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

Hands down the BEST neapolitan pizza in the northern hemisphere, seriously. Trust the reviews!! Dedicated GF pizza oven at King location. A must if you're in the Toronto area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Hands down one of the best gf pizzas I’ve ever had! At the King St location they even have a separate oven. Staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating. Being from Europe myself I can really say that the toppings and selection of drinks are typically Italian. I was really impressed!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free pizza. The King street location has a separate oven for GF pizza. Very tasty!
