Large White Cheese Pizza with Regular Crust and 8 slices
Alexandria S.

Ordered carry out for a large white regular crust cheese pizza for lunch on Super Bowl Sunday. Delicious pizza with a perfect ratio of sauce to cheese to dough! Not too oily but definitely not dry. Pizza was ready in 15 minutes-- great service! Friendly employees and speedy service :)

Mozzarella, cheddar, jalapeños, mushrooms, Beyond burger, and hot honey!

Best pizza in Portland, hands down. Maybe even the state of Maine. I've yet to find another pizza that has more flavor than Leo's. They use fresh veggies and SLAMMIN' flavorful mozzarella. They have so many options- vegan, veg, meaty, gluten free- and you can build your own pizza super easily. Their cheesy garlic breadsticks are amazing, their Nutella sticks are amazing.... their delivery arrives SO FAST and the food is still SO HOT. Can't say enough about Leo's. The friendly staff and easy online ordering make them no doubt a five star place.

This is the BEST pizza we've had in Portland. PERIOD. I'm not kidding when I tell you I am still dreaming about our pizza from Leonardo's. It was a Friday night, drinks were being served, and naturally a pizza was the only thing missing. We decided to order Leonardo's for the first time and went on their very user friendly website to order one of their specialty pizzas. Everything looked amazing on their menu, but we decided to go for the Fennel & Sausage pizza, and I truly don't think we can ever go back now. They nailed absolutely everything about it - the crust, the cheese, the sausage, all of it. We also did a side of their cheesy bread and it was some of the best cheesy bread I've had. The pizza was also fairly priced for how big and packed it is. We obviously had leftovers, which tasted just as good the next day. Delivery fees were also affordable, especially for the Portland area, and they quickly delivered the pizza to us. We will be ordering again very soon. I think we found our pizza go-to.

pickle pepper ranch pizza w/some mods

I must have driven by the modest little blue and white storefront that is Leonardo's on Forest Ave. before deciding to give the pizza a try, and I'm super glad I did! I've tried some of the other Portland pizza places and they've been good, but Leonardo's has become my favorite. Pizzas are clearly their specialty (there are a few chicken and salad sides too), and you can either build your own or there's a great list of their original combos. I love the Pickle Pepper Ranch: shown in the photo with a few modifications (I swapped out the roasted red peppers for banana peppers, and added black olives and pepperoni). The online ordering system appears a bit dated at first, but it's actually easy to use and thorough--you choose your crust and can make any modifications you want! Easy! Gluten-free options available if you want them too. Toppings are fresh, generous, and tasty. Takeout only, FYI.

Best vegan cheese I've ever had on this broccoli mushroom pizza
Melissa D.

From the outside, this place could easily be overlooked. It's a place you might drive by and think "hmm...hit or miss." But it is a HIT. Leonardo's makes delicious, gooey, loaded pizzas that I think are the best in Portland, and it is always a great bang for your buck. There is nothing particularly fancy about the place itself, but they have mouth-watering pizza at good prices and the staff are always friendly. Plus they deliver for free! My favorite thing to get is the vegan pizza. It has melt-in-your-mouth vegan cheese and is loaded with fresh veggies.

Loaded with whole wheat dough
George M.

Yeah, they have good pizza with nice vegetarian options and, amazingly, whole wheat crust option. But why would I review Leonardos now after all these years? Because I just discovered they have the only BAKED chicken tenders I know! And they're delicious. No bready crumby deep fried nonsense. Just tender chicken and spices. Loved them! Sriracha option was tasty and spicy. Fav pizza is fennel sausage on whole wheat but we just tried the loaded and it was excellent. Nice that they still distribute coupons locally.

Chicken wings from Leonardo's
Kim S.

This is the chicken they gave me last night. Sad part is when I came back and told them about it they were smiling if not LAUGHING!! And definitely not surprised at all about it. Still feel sick to my stomach.

So much so that we ended up going two days in a row just to have it again. In fact, I actually haven't stopped talking about it since!

To the chef, any chance you'd be willing to share the recipe? Let me know who to email. I'm serious.

The restaurant is very romantic - dark lighting, chandeliers, ornate china, candles, on a cobblestone street. Our reservation was at their large wrap-around bar in the front. The bar seats weren't the most comfortable - they have no backs and they are drilled in place; if ever returning, I'd book a table. I didn't realize they had a whole back room which has two levels of additional tables and lounge seating as well. Even though the bartenders were very busy preparing intricate cocktails, we still received wonderful service. Our bar seats gave us a view of the kitchen windows, so we were able to see all the dishes coming out which was helpful in informing our decisions. We had the whipped ricotta and arancini to start. The ricotta was a large portion and came with tall breadstick crackers - it was really good, same with the riceballs. For my main, I got the radiatori pasta. I enjoyed it and brought some back as leftovers. Lastly, we shared the blueberry tiramisu for dessert. By the time the meal ended, we were sickly full since everything was so good and we wanted to clear our plates. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a date night or large groups.

With an 8pm reservation for Wednesday, we were seated promptly at 7:50pm. This lovely restaurant has a young, welcoming vibe. It's a mix of high-end dining (Italian) with a somewhat casual atmosphere (blue jeans). If you seek a formal "suit and tie" dining establishment, Leeward is not ideal. Although it is pricey, Leeward has many pluses. First, the service here is outstanding. Second, the wood floors, cork decorated walls, open space, and candles provide a nice ambience. Third, the food is delicious and ideal for sharing appetizers. We ordered several items, including focaccia (the olive oil is wonderful), and the Maine Bluefin Tuna Carpaccio (our favorite!). The Gnocchi Fritto with prosciutto is a must-order appetizer for groups. We then each ordered a pasta dish. I devoured the tagliatelle, which had fava beans. My wife enjoyed the radiatore (with pine nuts). My sons both ordered the rigatoni (but one disliked the heavy Bolognese sauce). Glad we were able to enjoy a celebratory dinner in Portland! Leeward contributes to the strong "foodie" reputation of the city.

Reservations booked almost solid for days if not weeks, they do "allow" walk ins for high end bar seating. I was lucky to get a preferred bar seat that overlooked the theater of the cocktail creations at the center of the bar. Very entertaining indeed. Prior to that, we had to wait in line at the door before opening and then be assigned a specific seat. As one who hates standing in line for food and specifically avoids food trucks or food festivals for this reason, I was already slightly disagreeable. Obviously I would have had better humor with a long time reservation. Add to that, in order to park not too far away we street parked earlier and had to send one of us out to electronically feed the meter on this early evening experience. I do admit that the creative flavors of the dishes were appealing, if not a little too rich in dressings. I should have asked to have the dressing on the side of my lovely kale salad, but I WANT to trust the chef of a truly reputable high end establishment to not drown it. Still it was lemony delicious. The pea pesto was also creative , but again, slightly less sauce is MORE, it would keep me yearning for another bite. My partners steak was a bit chewy in the cut, we very much respected the bartenders suggestion that he have it rarer than he normally prefers. The potato "hash browns" (my quote) with horse radish sauce had a distinctive flavor and texture which was also crispy and delicious and allowed for a few bites each, again, super heavy on the sauce/ oil? Trendy techno play list was the background music and several tables were set for larger parties, so this does have a celebratory feel to it and you could easily spend your weekly pay check on an adult gathering here. Terrific wine list and stunning cocktails.

The cozy, romantic atmosphere made it easy to settle in for a long meal. Sitting by the window overlooking the street, it honestly felt like a scene out of an old romance set in a brownstone in NYC. There was so much to love about the food, too. The pasta tasted fresh and perfectly cooked, my pesto had a great balance of flavor, and both of our drinks were beautifully made. You can tell the kitchen puts care into the ingredients and preparation. Unfortunately, my husband's chicken parmesan came out undercooked. The chicken was clearly raw in the center. It was disappointing, especially on a special occasion, and food safety issues like that are hard to overlook. I do want to highlight that our waitress was outstanding. She noticed something was wrong from across the room and stepped in right away. She handled the situation with professionalism and kindness, and we truly appreciated her attentiveness. What left us surprised was that no one else came by to acknowledge what happened. With something as serious and easily preventable as raw chicken, we expected at least a brief apology or check-in from a manager. It was less about getting something for free and more about feeling taken care of after a pretty significant mistake. Overall, there were some really lovely parts of the experience, but the food issue and lack of follow-up made the night feel more mixed than we had hoped for a celebration dinner.

I have to caveat my three star review with the fact that I have had Il Leone multiple times before…read morethis review and the pizza is always tasty. It's unique and it's simple -- but the flavors created are something to keep coming back for. In my most recent visit, we had a pretty bad experience leading up to the pizzas actually being served. We had some friends visiting and decided to go to grab pizza after sending a small group back to the mainland on the 6 o'clock boat. Our order must have been placed maybe 5 or 10 minutes after 6... we weren't served our first pizza until after 8 PM. And our second pizza lagged behind that one by nearly 10 minutes. I can understand how, taken out of context, this can be seen as a petty complaint. However, it really was a discouraging experience because we had multiple (at least half a dozen) other groups order well after us and enjoy their entire dining experience all around us. The group ordering behind us enjoyed their pizzas, bottles of wine and chit chatted for nearly a half hour after their indulgences... and still rode off in their golf cart before our pizzas even made it into the oven. The part that really baffled me was that we took the opportunity to speak with the staff about what was causing the delay -- simply asking if our pizza order had been started or not yet and the explanation was "our team has made several mistakes this evening and we don't have a good estimate on how long it'll take for your pizzas to be ready". We got the same explanation after waiting for 45 minutes and again after nearly an hour and a half. It seemed like a pretty inadequate answer when their wood-fired oven was often not full of cooking pizzas and their entire staff was dancing to the music playing on their speakers. In the end... the pizza was good (same quality as expected). But my experience left something to be seriously desired.

This was the best lunch on a gorgeous trip out to Peaks! They are literally a couple trailers and…read moresome picnic tables so if you need a bathroom look elsewhere. My friend and I decided to split a pizza and it was a good sharing size. We got the burrata and it was delicious! The cashier told us it would be about 45 and I think it was a bit less than that but expect a bit of a wait on a busy weekend. The crust is super thin and floppy but good texture and taste! The sauce was flavorful and the burrata was perfect.
