Pizzeria Libretto
221 Ossington AveDesignated Gluten Free Oven
At the heart of the operation is the open kitchen with dual Ferraro ovens blazing away in the back. In textbook Neapolitan style, the pie is thin at its centre while a ring of puffy crust is chewy and blistering with charred little steam pockets.
Service is swift but reservations are still advised during peak hours, which commence the moment doors open for lunch.

The Dr. Pepperoni ($25) has always been a best seller, the classic double pepperoni or as Vrooman puts it, a “sledgehammer amount of pepperoni.”
This one also has ultra-stretchy mozzarella, parmesan and fior de latte that collects creamily in the curly little pepperoni cups, and a potent toasted fennel oil with whole fennel seeds.

Undoubtedly the most-visited museum in Toronto—nay, the country—this massive hub of world culture and natural history has over 13 million items on display. It's cool again, thanks to its Friday Night Live events, which let visitors party with the mummies and collections of dinosaur bones. It even has its own dedicated subway station.

2000 Meadowvale RdThere’s no better way to introduce yourself to Canada’s famed Group of Seven than a trip to the spacious art gallery on Dundas. This walkable museum has expanded several times since it opened in 1900, and with a Frank Gehry facelift, it's now an essential North American stop.

One of the most unique hotspots in the city, this footwear museum has been collecting and showcasing cool shoes since the 1940s, though its current building in the Annex has only been around since 1995. It’s a weird perspective, but learning about the past through over 1,000 shoes on display might be the coolest history lesson ever.

It’s home of the Stanley Cup—enough said. Load up on your jersey collection and check out the abundance of cool NHL-related paraphernalia at this museum by Yonge and Front. And of course, no trip is complete without an obligatory photo next to the ‘Our Game’ sculpture outside the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Both a landmark and epic event venue, this Gothic Revival-style mansion offers a glimpse into Toronto’s past: it was once the largest private residence in Canada. These days don’t be surprised to stumble on an opulent wedding ceremony happening in its hall during your visit, but you're more likely to be there during Christmas and Halloween.

Don’t be fooled, this sleek gallery on Front Street is far from your average trick art museum or collection of garish tricks-of-the-eye. Modern illusions and cool interactive attractions are all on display at this Toronto version of the Croatia-based concept.

The giant ceramic head is the piéce de resistance at this museum at Queen’s Park dedicated to ceramics. This six-foot-tall sculpture isn’t the only cool thing to see here, though: Yoko Ono has held an eventful exhibit there, and ceramic-lovers can ogle at the Meissen porcelain exhibits and world-class collection of Italian Renaissance maiolica.

Located in Flemingdon Park, this museum is the stuff childhood memories are made of. Most of us will remember a field trip here at one point or another, if you went to school in Toronto, but it also hosts a plethora of cool exhibitions that make it worth visiting well into adulthood. Plus it’s home to Ontario’s first IMAX dome.
