Pizza might be the world’s best food: it’s portable, full of flavor, and endlessly customizable. When you’re looking for authentic pizza, your best bet is to head for a mom-and-pop shop, like this little gem in Burlington.
Leonardo's has been serving up tasty pizza pies for more than 20 years, and offers delivery or carry-out service. You'll find two locations in Burlington: 83 Pearl St., and 1160 Williston Rd..
This family-owned pizza place uses recipes developed and handed down by family members, with a dedication to fresh ingredients and creative flavor combinations.
The dough is made by hand every day, using King Arthur flour. Only the finest cheeses, meats and vegetables top the pizzas here, and you'll definitely be able to taste the quality when you sink your teeth into a slice.
...to specialty pies like the Fennel Sausage Gourmet that comes with olive oil garlic sauce, hot Italian sausage, fennel, red onions, spinach, and Gorgonzola cheese. You're certain to find a pizza that will tempt your tastebuds.
Leonardo's supports local community, with donations to charities and participation in local events. During the 2018 Vermont City Marathon, the pizzeria passed out 5,000 slices of pizza to runners, and the owners and several employees participated in the race or volunteered their time.
