★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Nina · Dec 2025

We wanted to try something outside of chain restaurants, but this place is nothing to "write home about." Upon our arrival, we observed a small child running around in the kitchen. Not only is this dangerous, but I'm sure the health dept would not approve. The food is overpriced. We ordered cheese bread as an appetizer, not realizing it is only individual portions. We also ordered the meat pizza and a beef and cheddar sandwich. The cheese bread was a bit dry and was served with a cup of under seasoned butter. Normally breadsticks are served with marinara so we asked the waitress for some, not realizing we were going to be charged for "extra sauce." The sandwich was next to bare and lacking (as you can see in pic.) It was served with cheap chips that tasted like they hadn't been stored corr

★★★★★ 5.0 Tommy Jackson · Jan 2026

Consistently great food and great service! This is our go to when we don't want to cook or when we want to take friends or family out to eat locally. Their staff is the best! Always attentive service, they have a good variety, always fresh and hot, the place is clean and we love the decor and shirts that clearly display their Christian values. Thanks Leono's, so glad your'e here!

★★★★★ 5.0 John Lineberger · Nov 2025

Stop by for a visit today passing through town. We ordered the thick crust supreme pizza. We have been stopping in off and on for years and the pizza and service are always great. The crust is nice and thick but crisp. Toppings are always top-notch. Our servers are always attentive to additional drinks. If you need a little extra dipping garlic butter they're always willing to bring it out to you. The prices haven't changed in quite a while. The pizza could easily feed three for a meal and it was $22 the atmosphere is quaint and you are able to have good conversation.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kyle Mullins · Sep 2024

I ordered the Leonos spinach pizza with sausage added to half. There was not much sauce on the pizza, and I couldn't determine if it was house-made. Based on its smooth consistency and sweeter taste, I would guess it was not. The spinach was fresh, tasty, and generously portioned. The sausage did not appear to be house-made either, resembling the sausage found in a Tostitos pizza. The thin crust was crispy, though I personally prefer it slightly more charred. The tomatoes lacked the robust, acidic flavor typical for this time of year. Pricing was average. The restaurant was meticulously clean, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. There were a few games for the kids and an expensive jukebox.
