Libretto’s in Ballantyne: a neighborhood ritual, not a debate
There are nights in Ballantyne when the conversation has three moves: “Libretto’s?” “Yes.” “Same order.” You claim the booth, fold the first slice, and remember why a reliable pie is civic infrastructure. Libretto’s doesn’t posture. It just feeds people—teams in uniform, neighbors still in work badges, the couple negotiating over who gets the last square of Sicilian.
