I think I’ve been to Leonardos about 4 times now. 2 for lunch (pizza by the slice) and twice to pick up a pie on my way home. Each time the service was excellent - they certainly have a friendly staff.

Pizza by the slice was great on the first trip but a notch less than great on the 2nd. Maybe the pizza had been in the warmer too long.

Both take home pies were good - I especially like the BBQ chicken and the Monster Meat eater. Kids love the basic pepperoni.

That said, prices are a little on the higher side but if that’s what it takes for them to stay in business I don’t mind an extra buck or two.

On a related note - I stopped in at the Mahtomedi Carbones last weekend and picked up two VERY good pizzas. Some new 20 something kid just bought the place last week. The pies were excellent and the staff was great!

I’d highly recommend both spots for a great pizza.

As Slice linked yesterday, the pizza business is hard. I hope Leonardo’s makes it work, honestly.

It’s not far from where I work, I’ll stop back again some time.

Favorite little place to go get pizza. Great place to go over lunch. Great overall experience. Nice, polite staff.

Highly recommend!

I haven’t had the magheritta yet but its on m list. I had the MOSNTER MEAT pizza and the virarity of toppings on it you can’t find anywhere else, puts it in a league of its own. It was so GOOD,there was the right amount of mozzerella cheese and sauce to balance out the toppings!

OH, the chicken wings were really fanominal. I couldn’t figure out what seasoning they used never tasted it anywhere else.

Going back again soon!

My first experience was dine-in with a good friend who was in town over the Thanksgiving weekend. We decided on the “Tuscan Vegi,” with white garlic sauce and without olives. When it came it was covered in green olives. I pointed this out to our waiter and he replied by telling me that I said “No black olives.” He offered to make a new one, but being hungry and a little disappointed by his attitude towards my apparent mistake we just picked those little green buggers right off. Once the olives where off the pizza it became pretty obvious that what we had before us was just a mangled cheese pizza. Where were the other toppings? Oh well, I thought — they where in training, and it was a great cheese pizza.

Last night I decided to give them another chance. We called and ordered a large cheese with artichokes and basil. We were told the total would be $18.10. It arrived in about 40 minutes. When the delivery guy came he told us our total was $44! Somehow a Sicilian Supreme Pizza was added to our order. He insisted we did order it and thats why it took so long to arrive. We gave him the $18, a tip and had him leave with the Sicilian.

Thats it! I’m tired of this pizza shop telling me its my fault they are still working things out in the company.

Own up to your mistakes, make them right, and treat your customers with grace.

One more thing: when you order a pizza for delivery, make sure you have a pizza slicer! Our pizza came whole.

JW- Nick and I visited the Little Oven last week but we weren’t inspired to write anything about it. We’ll probably visit there again soon.
