Ledo PizzaCHAIN

5.4/10Italian

AI-generated summary

People genuinely split on this one. Fans love the thin, buttery, cracker-like crust and the thick cupped pepperoni, and Maryland transplants are glad it's here. Others call it and say they'd take Domino's instead. Go in knowing it's nothing like a New York slice.

  • replying to u/eldersveld: It probably helps that I'm originally from Iowa and have an appreciation for a wide variety of pizza styles, including the Quad-Cities' own, Chicago, St. Louis, and New Haven. Hell, I even tried LaRosa's (a Cincinnati chain) at Edward's in Tribeca. "Why get *that* in NYC?" people asked. "Because it's an exotic item here" is the answer. The folks in the Cincy sub seemed rather less affectionate toward LaRosa's than Marylanders do toward Ledo. I posted about Ledo's midtown location a while back and some people commanded me to get whole pies only, for the sake of freshness. Since I usually dine solo, that ain't happening, but if the NYC version of Ledo's is good about keeping fresh slices available then it wouldn't matter. I guess I cheated by getting there shortly after they opened.

    I think because the crust is so thin/buttery/flakey/crackery it holds up better than a New York slice when cold.

  • Ledo is fucking awesome. Excellent party pizza and totally unique. The pepperoni is huge and delicious.

  • Check out Ledo Pizza on W. 38th Street. They do bacon cheese fries and use both melted shredded cheese and cheese sauce.

  • I would recommend trying it once and then probably never again lmao! Maybe I'm just nostalgic for the thick cupped pepperonis...
