There are places you eat, and then there are places that become part of your story--and Leo's is exactly that for me. I've been coming here since I was a little kid, back when Leo himself was still behind it all. There was something special about walking in then, and somehow, that feeling hasn't changed. It's rare to find a place that holds onto its soul like this. And the pizza... I don't even know how to fully explain it, but if you know, you know. The cheese is unlike anything you'll find anywhere else. It has this unforgettable texture--perfectly gooey, rich, and somehow it sticks to the roof of your mouth in the best possible way. It's not just cheese, it's an experience. Every bite is layered with flavor that you can't quite put into words, but you crave long after you leave. This isn't trendy pizza. It's not trying to be anything other than what it's always been--authentic, nostalgic, and absolutely delicious. Leo's isn't just a restaurant to me. It's memories, it's tradition, and it's still one of the best slices you'll ever have. Forever a fan. read more

I was told about this pizza for ever and finally decided to try it, we bought 2 small pizzas for $50 and I will tell you it was not good at all, I put a pizza in the oven the other day and it was better. The lady there said the cheese was something special, and they act kinda stuck up like they are the best thing since sliced cheese. I will never eat there again, the pizza was horrible. And me and my wife are here at pizza shoppe right now as I'm writing this review and Leo's does not even come close . read more

I like ALL pizza and sometimes I want that St Louis style thin pizza crust. I had takeout here. The place was very cute inside. The pizza was like Imos went gourmet and homemade. Very delish with quality ingredients and PROVEL cheese. In the future we will order a size down. We like to reheat leftover pizza and this doesn't do well for leftover's. Definitely will go back. read more

If you like a thin pizza with a cracker type crust, this is what you will find. But....... It took 45 minutes to receive my personal pizza order. No they were not busy. The group that placed their order of three small pizzas received their order prior to mine. The elderly female running the counter acted like having to wait on me was interrupting her day. I will go to dommminos before I ever return to Leo's. I will not be back read more

The taste of the cheese was overwhelming. The crust was good, but that's where the good ends. if you like a mountain of Swiss and provel go. when you can't taste Canadian bacon and mushroom or the sauce.....HARD PASS! read more

A local institution. Worth a 30+ min drive every time. If provel cheese isn't for you, they have regular mozzarella as an option also. Best sausage on any pizza!! read more

I eat here with my girlfriend this evening. It was actually really good. But that shouldn't be a surprise as the reviews have been pretty positive. It is a small place only about a half dozen tables. But there was a lot of traffic coming in for carry out orders. There's several different options, meat lovers, and veggie lovers. It looks like the crust is only one kind, which is thin so if you're not into thin crust, this might not be the place for you. The seasoning, the cheese a lot of it is made in house. And a medium pizza with two toppings and two large sodas or run you about $30. If you're wanting to try a new pizza place which might become your favorite. Don't miss out on Leo's pizza in Gladstone, Missouri.. read more

Leo's Pizza - Dinner for two pepperoni and meatball - Pizza Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Best pizza in town! Super cheesy and full of top[pings. it's worth it to order ahead. You will love it!

St. Louis style thin crust pizza. Tastes delicious. Its a kansas-city staple for several years.

30 years I have come here. Great pizza but I will not return due to 4% surcharge. Nothing was mentioned when I placed order online. Sleazy business practice. read more

Pls send cutlery with Door Dash for the motel dwellers. Excellent salads, even when eating them by hand.

I hate party cut pizza and wish I had known that before they cut it. They didn't say anything about that. Not everyone likes party cut.

Got a Canadian bacon, onion, mushroom and pineapple with their 'Provel' cheese (sweeter then mozzarella) ... excellent! They will use mozzarella or cheddar you just have to ask. Really good pizza. read more

decent pizza but try getting seated if you bring a kid. they'll tell you it's 2 hrs for a pie. you can't be that obnoxious when your pizza tastes like provel on sheet rock. read more

Originally I decided not to review this place because the whole experience was so bad that I'm still not convinced it's not a front. But after seeing that somehow, people actually, of their own free will, like this place, I decided to add my two cents. "Leo's 'St. Louis Style' pizza is an unforgettable experience, and not in a good way. Let's start with the cheese. Imagine the worst grocery store brand frozen pizza you've ever had. Now lower your expectations. The provel/mozzarella mix tastes like someone melted plastic over wet cardboard and called it a topping. It doesn't so much sit in your stomach as it does set up camp and wage an angry protest, leaving you queasy for hours. The crust? Oh, it's thin alright, thin like my patience after interacting with the lady behind the counter. She greeted me with the warmth of a DMV employee and the charm of a tollbooth operator. Apparently, ordering a pizza at Leo's is a personal offense to her. I've traveled to over 30 countries, eaten everything from street food in Bangkok to haggis in Scotland, and I've had what the locals call pizza almost everywhere I've been. I can honestly say, nothing has ever made me long for airline peanuts quite like Leo's. Save yourself the trauma and just grab a frozen pizza from the store or some day-old slices from QT. Trust me, that's gourmet by comparison. read more

Great pizza and salad! Love their cheese, unlike any other pizza in KC and it's a locally owned business which is a plus.

Leo's Pizza is unique and some may even say an acquired taste. With its thin, cracker crust and the provel (yes, we like provel ) option you get a custom pizza like no other in KC. Leo's is a good change of pace as we usually stick to a Sicilian style. Leo's is more cheese heavy over a lighter sauce. Hamburger is the way to go because if you can't make a hamburger pizza taste good then what's the point? But I'm not hating on those that like a heavily topped pie. It's worth a try and we will continue to keep it in our rotation. For those wanting to dine inside, it's a smaller place so if you have a big group you may consider doing carry out. Also, there is a 4% fee when you use credit/debit. Enjoy! read more

My wife had never had Leo's Pizza, so I had to change that for her. Last Saturday we were in the area and were hungry, so we stopped in for one of their delicious pies. We went with the Meat Lovers and it was fantastic. It's a fun place to eat, and the ladies behind the counter take great care of you. It feels like the pizza places I grew up with, soft lighting, TVs playing sports and great pizza! read more

Leo's Pizza is the absolute best!!! Super delicious, love the provel ! The staff is always friendly and efficient.

Leo's Pizza - Best pizza in the northland! Make sure you order when you are not in a hurry. It takes about 40 minutes but is definitely worth the wait! - Pizza Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I saw some one write, "If you know - You know!" So true. Grew up eating Leo's - George's in OP KS - then that went away so we made a pilgrimage to the original in North KC! I've had a lot of good pizza in NYC, LA, Miami, Cincinnati and even my college town of Lawrence KS, LEO's if the best in the US! Try the Leo's salad too, it's a must. The restaurant itself only has 7 tables with a small kitchen so it takes time to get your Leo's pies but it's worth the wait. Try the ham/Canadian Bacon or pepperoni mushroom- the perfect combo of a unique sauce and St Louis style provolone, chefda & mozzarella cheese (called provel) absolutely coated over a crispy brown pizza pie crust! Amazing! read more

Pretty good! I love their thin crust and how their cheese is so melty. If you don't like Provel cheese, then ask for mozzerela. But this pizza has a thin crispy crust and cut into squares read more

We've been going to Leo's for at least 40 years. Excellent quality. We love the deli deluxe. Yum!

BEST PIZZA AND SALAD EVER!!!!!! The provel cheese and house salad dressing are amazing!!!!!!!

Prices are up quality is not there. Leo and Anna would not be happy with quality of these pizzas.

Absolutely amazing food that is consistently fresh and delicious! If you're ever in KCMO this is a must have.

Been going there for over 40 years! The best St. Louis style pizza in the city. Great Italian steak sandwich as well. Miss Leo and Anna Marie. read more

We really love Leo's. The crust is always baked just right. The sauce is excellent and the cheese is nice and creamy provel. For those who don't care for provel cheese, the also have mozzerella available. read more

This Pizza is amazing. Coming from Detroit, we have high expectations. Perfect, semi-crunchy crust and exquisite cheese. 10/10, we'll be trying to ship this across the country going forward. read more

Best damn pizza in KC or the Midwest even for that matter hell I rate all my pizza where ever I go in the country to a standard of comparison to Leo's it's a must go to if your in KC!!! read more

We had never been here before, my boyfriend and I got two pizzas total. 2 topping pizza and veggie pizza. His was good, but for my pizza it honestly looked like someone who hasn't seen a women in years, jizzed all over my pizza pie. Nothing else negative happened besides my bf getting onions on his pizza when he asked for no onions on it, but for me I think it was just mozzarella cheese on one of the pizzas I had that made me lose my appetite. read more

This is the Best st louis style pizza around, hands down. Love it! Go get you some now!

Best pizza in Kansas City!! Their thin crust is delish and that provel cheese is the best!

The provel cheese sooooooo gooood! Couldn't stop eating it -- definitely my favorite pizza in the area

Use to be a good place 10 years ago, one of the worst pizzas north of the river. Said it would be 1 1/2 wai. Pizza cold and awful b

Oh my sweet baby loving Jesus. This is the most insanely delicious thing I've ever had in my mouth. My boyfriend had been talking up the place for months and we finally had it tonight. Pineapple and Canadian bacon pizza with side salads. Can we talk about the Provel cheese? It sticks to your teeth, it orgasmically assaults your emotions... I want to fill a bathtub with it and bathe in it. The crust is crunchy. It's solid. It holds everything in the universe together that makes me think world peace has actually been accomplished. Thank you. Thank you for this experience. I'll be driving over from Lawrence every chance I get to be able to satisfy my new addiction to you. read more
