Leo's Pizza

Its been many many many years since I've been to Leo's for their pizza. The ingredients they use are fresh and generous. The sauce is just right - not too plain not too sweet not too spicy. The ingredients give the flavors and the sauce just enhances it. I think Mrs. Leo is a beautiful person - inside and out, and if I may say so - steong and courageous. I did not know they lost their beautiful son (and his fiance) years ago. That she can still work so hard and show a customer service "face" that should be a perfect example to others. Some of the pictures I posted (poor lighting on my part) are of her son - to honor her.

So Leo's is a bright light in a pretty dismal restaurant scene in Jacksonville. We went there for a "passing-through" evening meal. The pizza was fresh, and the ambience was great ... halfway through our meal, the owner came out to check that we were enjoying the meal. Maybe it wasn't the *best* pizza that I have had in my life, but it was quite a nice meal. Wait staff was kind and attentive also.

This place is great! Every time I come back there, they greet me with a friendly smile and a welcoming phrase. They are genuine and trully want to make my experience top notch. As far as food, it is a bit of a wait, but oh boy is it worth the wait. I'm tellin' you: be patient and don't nah them. The pizza is a OK, no matter the day, no matter the weather. They got plenty of seating, games, and other machines to entertain you or your kids. Great for family and friends outings! Anyway, go see them and tell them Paulie sent you. You will not regret it. Now, foggeaboutit!
