I was in Colorado Springs and wanted pizza by the slice for lunch. A quick search and 20 minutes later I was at Leon Gessi Pizza. 21 minutes later I was happy to be here. The restaurant smells great with that wonderful Italian restaurant smell.
Leon Gessi's embraces the New York style pizza and culture. Not only with their pizza, but the decor. It works for Leon because the food is good and the place smells great. I'm often skeptical of "New York style" sales pitch for pizza because it can disguise that your pizza actually isn't any good. Leon's could go with any Italian theme and I'd enjoy it.
What I ate: A slice with pepperoni and mushrooms as part of the Daily Special, which is a slice, a salad and a drink. I should have ordered 2 slices instead of the salad.
Rating; 4 stars, out of 5
The single slice was probably only 3 stars. It was good; I wanted another slice; and I had a feeling that the whole pie would be better than a lunch slice. That is why I'm giving it 4 stars. If I lived closer, I'd go back again. I'd also like to go back here for their calzones and meatballs.
As I was in there a line developed that went to the door. There were police officers and members of the military. A good vibe all around. Maybe I will go back next time I'm in the Springs.
