Great family owned pizza shop. For 20 years have searched for a great Boston/New York style pizza in San Diego. The only place I ever found was the Venetian over in Point Loma, which is too far from me, now being without a car.

Food was surprisingly fresh. Staff was attentive and service was quick. Garlic bread was hearty, salad was crisp, and dishes were large and tasty. I was satisfied.

I like the place, I’ve ordered from here before and loved the food but it always been though delivery. This time I ordered online, and found that there was a discount that could be applied to my order. I ordered it and went to go pick it up. They charged me without the discount and made me pay even more than I was supposed to pay in the total without the dicount from what the online receipt stated. After mentioning this to the lady upfront, she stated that they didn’t have my order in the system but the food was ready go if that makes sense. And when recreating my order in there system, they charged me more than my online receipt.

Ordered a pizza at 8:05pm and was given “latest delivery” time of 8:51. Was told multiple times that the driver was “on his way” and it finally showed up at 9:41 after I’d asked to cancel it twice. So the food was sitting in the car for at least an hour? We refused the delivery and were only offered a 50% refund. Not cool.

This was a delivery order. The description of the dish led me to believe the linguine with sautéed baby clams meant fresh claims. They were canned.

I love Leona’s… Probably the first “quality pizza” that I had in San Diego (This is coming from a New Yorker!!) I’ve lived here for over 2 years now and this is one of the only pizza places I find to be even remotely acceptable. Not sure what it is about CA… but this state desperately struggles to produce good pizza. This place is one of the exceptions.

We love Leona’s! Our experience has been nothing pleasant time after time. The pizza and service have been nothing less than outstanding as well. My children love it, and I do too. I order the eggplant parmesan sub and each time I get nice crispy eggplant and great seasoning.

We bought 2 large subs & there was VERY thin slices of meat & cheese..and the oil & vinegar was omitted..plus the sandwiches weren’t cut in half??!! We will give them another chance since we’ve been there b4 & this is a 1st! Their antipasta & greek salads are great tho!
