“ Great NY thin crust pizza! Friendly and knowledgeable service. When you walk in the place feels like a total blast from the past (80s) in a very good way. This place feels like a comforting and fun refuge in a currently insane world. ”
“ The chopped cheese is insane!!! Best pizza ever! Hard not to order the whole menu every time. Open more locations pleassssee!!! ”
“ The pizza here is bomb!!! The closest thing you can get to an authentic NY pizza down here in the Charlotte area. Also, the chopped cheese sandwich from their Junior's NY Deli menu is de-freaking-licious!! Like wow! I just can't stop coming back to this place! The service is great & the staff is friendly every time I stop in- even when it's just to pick up a DoorDash order. They have a bar so you can come order a beer & a slice of pizza any day of the week! They also have some outdoor seating for beautiful days. Awesome, AWESOME little bar&restaurant! They have a digital jukebox & some kind of computer golfing game, but the only thing they don't have that I wish they did is a dart board in one of the corners, that would be really fun! :) ”
“ In Ballantyne is a delightful secret nestled within Libretto's Pizza--a ghost kitchen by the name of Junior's NYC Deli. It was an Instagram post, a visual siren's song of a Cuban sandwich that first beckoned me, only to find myself further enchanted by the allure of a house-smoked pastrami Reuben sandwich. Unable to resist, I marked my calendar for a weekend lunch escapade. I boldly ordered both the Cuban and the Pastrami Reuben. Yes, both! Half of each was thoughtfully boxed to prolong the gastronomic joy into the evening. For those whose appetites wander to different cravings, fear not, for the Italian embrace of NY-Style pizza and dishes stands ready to satisfy. And for those in pursuit of libation, a full bar awaits. The Cuban sandwich, priced at an inviting $13, was a masterclass in sandwich craft. The house-baked Cuban bread, lovingly baked with bacon fat, cradled house-roasted mojo pork, ham, mustard, pickles, and Swiss cheese--a press sealing the deal. This, my fellow foodies, is the Cuban sandwich of my dreams. The mojo pork moist & tender, the Swiss cheese a gooey delight, and the balance of mustard and pickles, a harmony of flavors that danced in my mouth. Next up, the house-smoked pastrami Reuben, at $14, a spectacle on thick slices of house-baked sourdough rye bread. Each element, from the buttery crispy sourdough rye to the savory thousand island dressing, melded with the Swiss cheese and, in my case, sans sauerkraut. The pastrami, oh the pastrami, smoked in-house to a level of perfection that would make NYC delis weep with envy. Mike Libretto, the maestro behind the curtain, has channeled the essence of NYC's Sarge's Deli into every bite. And for the insatiably hungry, a mere $5 promises a double mountain of meat, though I found the standard serving more than ample. Ease of access? Check, with parking aplenty and free. Comfort? Assured, amidst a dining area that welcomes with open arms. My visit, at the peak of Saturday's leisurely hours, found the place abuzz with satisfied patrons. The soundtrack? A soothing blend of Norah Jones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Jack Johnson that serenaded the dining experience. Savannah, the ambassador of Junior's/Libretto's at the order counter, navigated the menu with an expertise that was both impressive and reassuring. And Mike, the visionary behind this culinary haven, radiates a pride in his offerings. Support this beacon of local business, and treat yourself to a meal that resonates with the soul seeking Cuban and Reuben sandwich enthusiasts. ”
“ I came here for Junior's NYC Deli! Located inside Libretto's Pizzeria is Junior's NYC Deli. The deli sandwich options are located on the restaurant menu with the rest of the pizzas, etc. So I was a little confused about the process. I guess I was expecting an actual deli counter inside the same building as the pizzeria or something? I'm not quite sure what I was expecting to be honest. Either way, both of these business are located in the same kitchen under the same roof. CHOPPED CHEESE! I've been wanting to try a chopped cheese for as long as I have been following Matty Matheson and this was the place to get one! My first chopped cheese experience will definitely not be the last. It's basically ground beef chopped up fine smothered with melty cheese along with toppings of your choice on a sub roll. I'm obsessed. My husband and I got a Reuben which was just fine in my opinion. I could not stop eating the chopped cheese. They make their own breads in house which was delicious and so fresh! Big fan, ya'll should try it. ”
“ Librettos is serving up New York style Pizza for sure ! Mike the owner makes everything great & with love & you can tell he truly cares about pleasing and taking care of his customers! Everything we tried here was bursting with flavor ! One bite and you feel like you have been transported to the bustling streets of NY city . Outisde of the NY style pizza our favorite was the stuffed pinwheels . The combination of peppers, onions , cheese & sausage had my tastebuds having a full blown party because it was jam packed with plenty of flavor so I highly recommend the pinwheels . Soon they will have small plate/tapas options which I am excited about . Give them a try and enjoy a slice of the big apple right here in the Queen City ! ”
