Leonardo's Pizza

Off the bat I have to admit that I am a little biased towards Leonardo's Pizza. Growing up, I ate Leonardo's pizza almost every weekend when I came to visit my grandmother's in Akron. Italo's Pizza and Leonardo's Pizza where the two pizza places that I grew up on. When I would come to visit my grandmother after moving away Leonardo's pizza was always something my family had to eat when we were in town. It was usually the first thing that we would eat when we arrived in town. If my memory serves me well then I have to say that the taste of Leonardo's pizza hasn't changed since I was a kid. It's still the same great pizza.There's something about Leonardo's pizza that makes it unique. And I think it's the crust that makes the pizza stand out from all the pizzas in the area. The crust is thick, doughy, and savory with a little gooey satisfaction and crispiness on the bottom and edges. The edges of the crust are just as good as the center crust. The sauce is sweet and savory with a spiciness that gives it a nice kick. The cheese is stringy, creamy, buttery, and satisfying. I got pepperoni and sausage on my small pizza. The pepperoni was just as good as any pepperoni I've tasted. The sausage was a little bland and tasteless. There is some sort of tasty oil on the crust which I think is a combination of what they may spread on it during the preparation and the oils from the pepperoni. Whatever it is and wherever it comes from it's delicious and makes the pizza .

No one wears masks here. I'm really not the mask police, but what's up with that? If it's a political statement, it's a stupid one. Otherwise, it's unfair to all the people and places that do the bare minimum of masking up and social distancing. Food brings back good memories but seems to be losing quality through the years. Super-greasy. Won't come back.

After 8 years of going to this place it won't happen again. Tonight we ordered a 16 piece chicken with jojos and a large pizza. Ordered at 5:49pm got off the phone at 5:51. I was told it would be 20 minutes. Picked it up at 6:15 got home and passed out the food to my kids. The chicken is dry and barely existent. So at 7:06 I called to ask them what happened. They get a "manager" she first points blame at the chicken vendor. Which I respond why would you sell this if it's coming in this way? Then she points blame to me. Saying they set it on top of the oven and it was picked up 5 minutes late. I respond so 5 minutes on top of the oven makes the chicken disappear? She says yes that's what happened. I didn't want a refund all I wanted was to be able to feed my kids edible chicken. This lady then blames me because I called at 7:06. I have chicken in the fridge I cooked from two days ago that did not "shrink" and become "dust" how does an hour do this to the chicken let alone 5 minutes on the top of the oven. So the vendor is to blame? Or is it my 5 minutes past the "time" I was to go in? There where two people in front of me when I went in. Should I have cut them and demanded my food, now? Never again. Beware ordering from them because you will get blame shifted in all directions but them.

This was insane,yesterday I realize how much of a greasy pizza place this has became . The lady that is running the place now is so rude she yells at the customers, even got to the point to where they told me to come down there and they were gonna be my ass this is ridiculous behavior to running a business, The food is disgusting now it's just a shit show but I was so angry because she was calling me names and the person that worked there I don't even know these people like I've been going there since I was a little girl with my mom but I didn't realize that I had to argue with somebody about my personal life I don't even know you and then for you to threaten that you want to fight was just beyond madness the owner of the place doesn't deserve his restaurant to be ran like a bunch of monkeys. I just wanted a pizza not Therapy and threatened telling me to come down there calling me names I mean it was totally ridiculous I I would not recommend anyone to go there especially it's just totally changed. Needless to say I am my family and I after 20 years would never walk into that place again. For the love of God do not ask for extra condiments you might end up in their basement, please don't eat at this now disgusting restaurant the pizza disgusting everything about it is disgusting.

Greatest burgers.Jus like thackers. White pizza with ham tomato and black olives yummmmieee.!!!!****!!!!

Very upsetting to see how Leonardo's has fallen. Grew up on this pizza. Now every time you call in the younger workers are on drugs. Whether or not it's pills or weed. The kids in there can't go a shift without being under the influence. It's hard to tell if they even know where they are. Sad to say this is my trip to Leonardo's. How the mighty have fallen. The kids that work here look like walking zombies and definitely sound like them on the phone. So long Leonardo's.

we ordered 2 pizzas because we had a coupon, buy 2 with 2 toppings for $20.00. we went to pick up these pizza and the person would not except the coupon. this person said we should have got 2 toppings whic we thought we did, extra cheese and onions and pepperoni. no matter what, she would not except the coupon! The pizza cost $31.50. These pizzas are the size of a medium pizza! I will not go here again! Very disappointed in more ways than one!

If I could give this business a zero, I would. As I'm driving through on the highway... I called ahead to place an order. I requested the meatball hoagie have the meatballs chopper or at minimum chopped into four pieces each. The man who took my order said that he would ask the kitchen to do so. After I picked up my order and I was driving, I realize that it wasn't the way that I requested. I called back and a woman answered the phone and I asked why the request wasn't completed. I told her how disappointed I was at the simple request was not accommodated.She told me that "we never chop the meatballs" and her "manager never told her that she had to." That, "it wasn't written on the ticket and that I'm a horrible person for calling." She then hung up on me. In no way shape or form is asking for a meatball to be chopped into four pieces or chopped in general make me a horrible person. I called back and when I asked to speak with a manager, the man who took my order originally hung up on me. I would not recommend this place based on the bland sauce on the pizza and even though the meatball itself is tasty, the customer service is horrible. I may be calling back to speak with the owner at another time because they deserve to know who is representing their business when they are not there.

I ordered a large pepperoni pizza from this shop for the first time in a long time. It will be a lot longer before I do it again.What a disappointment. At first I thought they made a mistake and had given me a plain pizza instead. Finally on the third slice I discovered three slices of pepperoni. Wow, three slices on an entire pizza.

This review is for pizza only. I grew up eating Leonardo's. If I'm ever craving old school Akron pizza, Leonardo's is definitely high up on the list. I recommend doing the sheet pizza. They actually come in 1/2 sheets, which I prefer bc Leonardo's dough and crust is so good. Make no mistake this is a no frills pick up and delivery operation here.
