A3 Napoli

Food, prices and service were all wonderful. Only thing missing is more drink selection. The place has a vibe similar to libretto, which I found it out coincidentally is part of the same group. Definitely will come here again.

The exact type of Italian place everyone needs in their life. Relaxed décor. Amazing friendly service. Delicious fresh Italian food. Cheap cocktails.
BF and I will be returning often. And soon.

This restaurant is kind of a take out joint with really good pizzas and other snacks, such as pizza fritta. :D
The margarita pizza is on point. Good mozzarella and basil. The sauce tasted super fresh.
The owner is very knowledgeable about pizzas and the different styles. I saw him inspecting one of the pizza artists working in the dough for my order and told him to ditch the whole thing in the garbage after he sauced it because he did something wrong with the kneeding. I’m sure I would not have tasted the difference but that just shows his passion for a good pizza.
Five star pizzas. This place is about that 00 dop life.

I stumbled across this place looking for a quick snack. I was impressed at the concept and the fact that Pizzeria Libretto is behind it. The staff and food are fresh. The place is casual and one orders and pays up front at a counter and then it’s a free-​for-​all for seating in the back — this could be a frustration if one were to visit when it’s busy and there’s a lack of seating.

Wow! So good. This is a spin off, little brother, brainchild of libretto and its so great. More casual and less opinions although I actually like the pizza at A3 more! It’s a bit more ‘rustic’ than libretto in the sense that it’s not as paper thin. We like that since its not to thin and wet like some of the really really thin pizzas can get. The oven is gorgeous and cooks the pizza very quick and evenly. A3 staff is nice and very knowledgable. I would hands down recommend going here! They also have beer and wine. Enjoy the Za!

After a dismal pizza experience at another restaurant last night, one of my dining companions asked me if there were any pizzerias I did like in Toronto. Well, there are two as a matter of fact. 1. Pizza Defina in Roncesvalles 2. A3 Napoli.
I remember the pizza from A3 Napoli being savory, fluffy, yet had good pull as you pulled on the crust. A good pizza must have a good base and that base is the pizza dough. They did it right, you’d never know they had recently opened at the time.
The margherita pizza was perfect, and I’d expect the others would be just as well made. The deep fried ‘il fritto’ choices were lightly battered and deep fried to perfection. To choose, at the counter they displayed some items but did not identify them with signs. Please identify your foods!
The beer selection is limited and a little pricey for a plastic cup of beer — seriously, for that price please provide glassware.
The ordering process needs improvement as they have a board behind the cash/​bar combos counter. This makes line ups longer than necessary as people try to decipher the menu vis-​a-​vis the food they are trying to identify. What is nice is that they do provide those buzzing gadgets to let you know your food is ready.
It is a small restaurant with plenty of seating so bring your friends (up to 8 per table), and enjoy some good pizza in Toronto, because there aren’t many good pizza restaurants here.

We always order the diavola pizza and it is consistently delicious. Specifically the crust is made just right. It’s perfectly charred in the wood fired oven. Sauce is very tasty with a hint of spice. And the toppings are high quality and match well. We have always found the service friendly. This is not a sit down dinner place. You order at the front and sit down with a number. The food comes super fast. Good value for the price. The décor works really well and provides a warm eating environment.

I had been wanting to visit A3 Napoli since I heard of their plan to open a restaurant that served Neapolitan snacks. And when I heard that they were also going to serve Neapolitan pizza a la Libretto — well, I was sold! Conveniently I recently returned from a trip to Italy, and on this trip I fell in love with Naples. So, fingers crossed that the food did in fact remind me of the amazing food I have in Napoli.
Two weeks ago, I got 8 friends together and we made the trek over to A3 Napoli on a Saturday evening. We agreed to meet for 6pm, and we squeezed in to a table in the back patio. Once everyone had arrived, we took turns ordering food. The process of ordering food was not as simple as I thought. Picture this…
1. Cash register with menu behind it
2. Across from cash you have the kitchen
3. In the display you see some fried items and pizza… but there is no name for each item and so you find yourself trying to guess…
4. When you choose what you want, and if ordering fritti, they ask you what fried items you want. The problem however lies in the fact that there are no names displayed next to the fried options, and they also have options that they don’t have displayed. Argh
5. You ask for a list of the options and the people behind you in line groan. So you try to focus on the list being given to you — with little enthusiasm from the cashier I might add — and give the people behind you a dirty look!
6. You decide on your fried choices and whatever else you feel like — in my case I got a small pizza, three fried items, and no drink (they offer free water from a tank — serve yourself). The drinks were too expensive. A pint was $ 9!
7. They give you a buzzer and you wait for it to go off. Once it vibrates you go to the kitchen and grab your food.
Vedict:
*LOVED the calamari
*Great portions
*Loved the batter used on the fritti
*Delish pizza, though not as great as the Libretto restaurants (though owned by the same folks)
*Affordable — everything under $ 20
What I did not love:
*The arancini balls, which was a shame since I had the best arancini balls in Naples. The balls were dry, small, and the flavor was over-​complicated by extra ingredients. In Naples it was about the tomato sauce, cheese, peas and meat. Nothing more.
*Beers were overpriced
*No name of the food in the display
Overall, I am definitely returning!

Went to A3 Napoli last night with a group of 6 and a toddler. Food was great, exceeded my expectations. We had the assortment of fritto misto — we don’t tend to a lot of fried foods but these were perfectly done, not too greasy. We also had a margherita pizza, their spicy pepperoni pizza and a fried pizza. The crusts were awesome!
Although the food was great I’m giving a 3 star rating for a few reasons 1. The women working the cash. Maybe she was just having a bad day but I found her very rude. I wouldn’t want this person representing my brand/​restaurant. It’s too bad because the three guys in the kitchen were awesome and very friendly. 2. Logistics; ordering at the front, not having paper menus and them not opening a tab. We wanted to have a drink prior to deciding what to order but this set up isn’t very conducive to relaxing. Very cafeteria like. Plus not having menus created a bottle neck of people at the front cash area — with people trying to decide what to order.

There is no contact info on your website — no email or phone number. How/​who do I contact about an issue I had at a3 Napoli the evening of Friday ⁰⁶⁄₁₉. Thank you.

Love this concept. I’m always on the go visiting clients, delivering, meetings here there everywhere and A3 delivers hot fresh (tasty) food fast.
Good pricing, friendly staff and delicious. Awesome for a quick bite or hang out on the patio.

The pizza quality is absolutely fantastic. Myself and 3 friends shared assorted fried items (the rapini being my favourite), a pizza bat, a calzone and a Diavola pizza — with all 3 dips on the side.
The staff was friendly and really took time to explain everything on the menu beforehand. The place is also gorgeous inside.
The quality was there, and the somewhat limited menu means that everything is made with care. I could eat the pizza crust just by itself dipped in any of the dips (my favourite being the lemon aioli), and I will be back!

Good beer and friendly staff. However, the frito misto came out cold and disappointing :(how long does it take to deep fry battered seafood? Not long at all. Plus, I wouldn’t mind waiting a bit for steaming, hot, and crispy frito misto.
