Leonardi's Pizzeria

1st time - GREAT

by gusto at Citysearch

My daughter brought home a pizza from Leonardi's and shared it with mom & dad. It's something to die for. If there's such a thing as a "hearty" pizza this is it, no skimping on anything. A basic cheese & pepperoni doesn't get any better than this.

Would recommend to anyone along with St. Angelo's depending on one's preference of flavor.

Best pizza hands down!

by StuckinAlabama at Citysearch

I really wish I can find a substitution here in Alabama for Leonardis. You should consider selling pizza online like your competitor (Lanova's). If you can share your pizza with the rest of the country, THEY WILL BELIEVE!

• Pros: Best pizza in town
• Cons: Moved away from the city

Buffalo's Best Pie

by NativeAmerican at Citysearch

Please HELP! Moved south and can't live without Leonardi's Pizza for the SuperBowl. I grew up on Leonardi's and took it personal when they relocated to Amherst but made the short drive anyway whenever I had a craving. Only Leonardi"s can put half an onion on a pie and make it taste great. Mmm, Mmm!! I'm about to cry too.

• Pros: Call ahead for quick pick-up
• Cons: Bocce's Pizza is closer to the city

Best of All!

I worked there for a couple of years, and it's still the best in my book.

Whenever I come in from Texas, I "get some".

If Superman was a pizza...

by xiledangel at Citysearch

...He would be a Leonardi's pizza. I use to work next Leonardi's when it was on Bailey. When sign changed to "Avenue pizza" It was a dark dark day. I saw people get back into thier cars and drive away. Now my job takes me all over the country. The only place where I can get a halfway decient pizza is in New York City. Im sick of small,skimpy,exspencive pizzas. I geuss if I never had a Leonardis pizza the others wouldn'd dissapoint me so much.

• Pros: the best pizza you can get
• Cons: recommand ordering ahead

No other Pizza Compare!!!

by thornton3t at Citysearch

I grew up on Leonardi's pizza (the location was on Bailey Ave)... I left Buffalo 13 yrs ago and I didn't realize until I left the area how GREAT Leonardi's Pizza really was... I knew liked the pizza but, didn't realize I LOVED the pizza until I didn't have anymore and I had the pizza here... I live in the Tri-state area (PA, DE,NJ,MD)... I no longer order pizza... The pizzerias here (Delaware) has no idea how is make a pie... My first stop when I visit Buffalo is Leonardi's.... please please branch out to Delaware...

• Pros: Price, Friendly service
• Cons: more locations

Take out pizza restaurant specializes in one thing, pizza. Hearty pies and chicken tenders keep locals coming back for more.

There is no other pizza

by heykaz at Citysearch

We used to drive in from Cheektowaga down to Suffolk & Bailey to pick up Hector's masterpieces back in the early 70's....you could order either 1/2 or whole....double cheese and double pepperoni TO THIS DAY is the best pizza I ever had....wash it down with some "pounders" and life couldn't be better.

I think I just started crying...

• Pros: VALUE
• Cons: No seating...but that's OK
