"Yes, there’s such a thing as Maryland pizza. It’s a thin-crust square pie, because, as the radio jingle goes, Ledo’s “doesn’t cut corners.” The College Park restaurant is the original Italian pizzeria, but there are many franchises located across Prince George’s County too." - Tim Ebner

Had a nice evening here with a large group. Great service. The food was average quality- very processed. Is this really pizza? People told me this place is an institution. Tasted like greasy sugary biscuit - not real pizza crust.

I Came Here For A Quick Lunch. I Ordered A Pizza Through The App For CarryOut, But Then Decided To Dine In & I Ordered A Caesar Salad(I Added Tomato & Onion). I Have Been To This Specific Location Multiple Times. The Appetizers Are Great. Pizza Is Great. They Have A Full Bar At This Location. The Service Was Not That Great(I Was Not Pleased With The Server). But The Food Was Good.

Cozy atmosphere with delicious pizza at an affordable price. Cindy and Seth were outstanding and could not have been more attentive and friendly. Makes you look forward to coming back. All around great restaurant for some Maryland pizza.

I ordered the vegetarian calzone, hoping for a delicious, veggie-filled meal. Unfortunately, the calzone was a letdown. While the crust was good, the filling was predominantly cheese with very few vegetables. As someone who loves veggies, I would have preferred a better balance of cheese and vegetables. The excessive cheese overpowered the flavor of the few veggies present. I hope the restaurant considers adding more vegetables to their vegetarian calzone in the future, as it has the potential to be a tasty dish. ⭐⭐

Good pizza for a chain restaurant. Their sauce is a touch on the sweet side (which I prefer). If you're ordering bacon, always get the pre-cooked, the regular bacon looks like it comes with a side of salmonella.

That thin crush tastes like pastry. As such, this local staple is a favorite among people from Maryland. The pizza lives up to expectations, and that pepperoni pizza is deadly good.

Came here for a late dinner because not much else was open after driving 7 hours to UMD. I ordered a chicken calzone and specified no mushrooms, and I what I received was a calzone that was about 40% mushrooms. I’m not allergic, so I picked around them, but it took like 35 minutes to come out when the place was pretty empty. The chicken was tender though, and the smoked provolone in it was really good too. The rest of the food is probably pretty good, at least for the prices.

Ledo's College Park is the best!! Great beer selection! Try the Terrapin Hop Station. Great cocktails, get a Cosmo! Decent wine selection. My favorite appetizer is the hot honey old bay wings! Ask for them extra crispy. They are amazing! The salads are good for folks that are eating light or that don't want pizza. Of course the star of the show is the pizza! If you don't know Ledo's, the cheese is provolone, and the pizzas are square! Don't be surprised, that is LEDO's! The toppings are generous and the pizzas are perfectly prepared. They can get slammed on weekends but the staff are pros and always helpful. We love the manager John and he runs a great crew! Give them a try! Go Ledo's College Park!!

I've typically only ordered take out from Ledo Pizza but on this occasion we actually dined in. In terms of parking, you'll have to park in the garage as there is only street parking for carry out which is limited to 15 minutes. When you first walk in there are a couple of stairs to go down into the dining area but there is also a ramp, so it is accessible. However, there are no automatic doors. We were greeted when we first walked in and were seated immediately. Rocsi was our server who was very nice and patient. We sat at a table and the general area was pretty forgiving for a stroller and high chair situation. The food is always good at Ledo so you must be new to the area or living under a rock if you haven't had it at this point. So go ahead and dine in too, it's a good experience! Cheers!

I find this Ledo location to be reliable. The pizzas turn out the same and are carefully made. Ledo doesn't skimp on ingredients; the pies are full of toppings and cheese. Their tomato sauce is on the sweeter side, however. I do enjoy the squareness of the pizza, seriously. This has been Ledo's calling card for a long time. For slicing, serving and storing, it makes a lot of sense. The boxes for transporting are well constructed, and I appreciate that. My fav is the Hawaiian; been chowing down on it for years. It was love at first bite and I've been loyal ever since. Ledo is a bona fide local institution in College Park.

It's weird knowing there's no original Ledo's anymore (for those of us who grew up with it). This spot is the closest we have now to the old real deal. Sometimes the pizza is perfection and sometimes they have off nights. Our most recent takeout order was definitely one of their good batches - the red sauce was perfect & the pizzas were all cooked just right. They were out of basil but otherwise had everything we ordered. Pro tip - there is a big difference between their bacon and their pre-cooked bacon for toppings. The regular bacon might as well be ham, it's not the crispy stuff you're expecting when you order bacon on a pizza. I'm a sucker for their red pizza with pineapple and precooked bacon (NOT regular bacon, I learned) & a white pizza with just sausage. I didn't spend much time in the restaurant as our order was ready and waiting but everyone I encountered during the pickup was super friendly and helpful. Can't wait for my next visit!

Service was subpar- the cashier was rude. The thought of paying $32 for a just ok pizza is insane to me! The pizza was not cut correctly, and it was not good. The new location in College Park is nowhere as good as the original location on University Blvd.

Over the years my family loved Ledo's pizza. We loved going to the Ledo on Westlake in Bethesda. They were very friendly and service was great. Our favorites are the delicious cheese and pepperoni pizza, my grandsons' favorites. However, due to change in our diets we don't eat pizza that often anymore. Recently, I met a couple of friends there for lunch and I tried the gluten free crust with sausage, mushrooms and onions. It was quite delicious, even my daughter and grandson loved it. I will definitely return for this again. I'm glad to see that they have added more variety so we all can enjoy eating there.

Ledos pizza is by far the best pizza in the DMV! I may be biased because I am from Maryland and I grew up with Ledos pizza at many group functions. The pizza is always consistent and never taste different and it's always giving cheesy, oily, and yummy! my guilty pleasure is eating Ledos pizza cold the day after. If you like deep dish pizza this probably is your place as the pizza is flat and has its own style. I love the pizza so much I really haven't tried very much else on their menu. The wings are pretty good and so are cheese sticks.

I am glad this restaurant is back as Ledo Pizza. Even though the food from the chain isn't as good as the original Ledo Restaurant, it's the next best thing now that the original is gone for good. They completely remodeled and have all new staff. Unfortunately, I think they are still fine tuning things in the kitchen, because we have ordered pizza twice, and something was off about the crust texture both times. It almost seemed undercooked, and was very chewy and bland. Aside from that, the pizza tasted good, with their typical Ledo-style sweeter sauce and provolone cheese blend, and had a ton of toppings. The menu is the same as the Ledo Pizza chain, so they have some more options that the old restaurant didn't have such as gluten free and cauliflower crust, a variety of salads, and more wing sauce flavors.

Renovated and updated and back to operating! We ordered a couple pizzas and salad and all was pretty good.

Glad it's not gone because the pizza tastes good but the service may as well not even be there. They should just make this like a kiosk where you punch what you want and it comes out. It's got a corporate McDonald's type vibe now compared to the original Ledos or owner run Ledos. It's sad when no real care is behind the service beyond "it's just a job" type attitude. Today is pi day. Blaze has $3.14 pizzas. Half the family went there. The other half likes Ledos. We paid $9 for Ledos small. Their pizza is square ‍ The pizza is good for a pizza. The service can be robotized with ONE good person overseeing because without self thinking helpful human beings, what's the purpose of them being their except for human error. Sad when corporations take over family run places. The warm personal vibe is gone. It's like a cafeteria to me

Wish i could add 1 star obviously these guys dont know their topping proportions correctly making your pizza a raw mushy mess . They put super extra peppers & mushrooms essentially making my pizza a mushie mess that wasn't rebakable or cookable, its insane how i didn't ask for extra but looks like i just got the toppings dumped on my pizza & the pepperoni was raw due to it. Ridiculous.

On November 10, 2023 approximately 6:30-7:30pm. Me and my pregnant girlfriend went to dine in for dinner at the college park location and the food was amazingly delicious as always. This is my third time dining in at the restaurant twice at the bar where I had fantastic service both times and this previous one time that I'm writing this review about. I've never had an issue with this restaurant however we had a young Caucasian server named Lauren H. She was very sweet and kind in the beginning of taking our order, but it literally took her more than 20 minutes to get our drinks which was lemonade and fruit punch, while everyone else got their drinks on time, and the restaurant was not that busy near her section based on what we saw. She was very sweet and kind taking our order but when I asked her about fries coming with my steak and cheese sub, she told me that the fries came with the sandwich. I still got charged for separate fries when she specifically told me that the fries came with the order but no biggie, I didn't make a big deal about it so I paid for my fries at the end. What I found very interesting was that right before we were about to leave a group of four Caucasian women and one Asian sat literally right next to us and she took their order and got them their drinks within under two minutes while we had to wait more than 20 minutes for ours. Then my girlfriend ordered a buffalo calzone and she brought out something completely different, but we still didn't make a big deal about it. We ate what she gave us. It was still a calzone, but it wasn't buffalo. Like I said, she was very sweet, taking our order and she probably checked on us twice, but we still didn't have our food on time. She kept saying that she was going to check the kitchen for our food while everyone else got theirs, nicely fresh and hot. I don't know, if it was the kitchen that was backed up or something that she brought out the wrong order but we strongly believe that she racially stereotyped us for being Hispanic. I didn't want to make a post about it, but I also felt the need to point this out. I love Ledos restaurant and I will continue to order from here from time to time but I don't think we will ever dine in at least get our order from a server, I'd rather just go to the bar they're actually quicker.

I only go to Ledos College Park, because they have the original ovens from Adelphi Road location. Best tasting in my opinion. The other reason is Ledos uses aged provolone and not mozzarella cheese (food allergy).

To all the misinformed individuals I saw eating here. I'm sorry, your about to receive the worst pizza that you will ever have! Never have I had a pizza so NASTY. I was excited to give it a try but that excitement was absorbed by immediate disappointment. Super soggy, tasteless and oily, I would rather have Pizza Hut over this.

We ordered pizza online at 4pm on Halloween, to try to get our toddlers kids fed and out the door. Showed up at the restaurant at 5, a little early for our 5:15 promised time. When we arrived, we were told that the kitchen was "a little behind." The clear insinuation was "it won't be 5:15, but it'll be pretty soon." That was a lie - the kitchen was extremely behind. Our pizza didn't even get into the oven until 6, and we didn't leave the restaurant until almost 6:30. So it was a two-plus-hour wait for mediocre pizza -- and cold french fries, which the kitchen made early and had sitting out the whole time we waited for pizza. Had they communicated and been honest, we could have driven home, taken the kids trick or treating, and then come back for our food later. Instead, we stood around, and missed Halloween with our kids. I don't give one-star reviews without asking a restaurant to correct things in the moment: we asked to speak with a manager, who came out, talked to one other long-waiting customer, and then went back to the kitchen and never returned. What a shame.

They've gotten really stingy with their toppings, especially since the ownership change. Before when I ordered bacon on my pizza, the pie was COVERED with bacon, now we're lucky to get a few pieces. We're paying more for a lower quality product.

I judge this place based on the quality of the thing it replaced, the Ledo Pizza run by the original owners of the first Ledo Pizza. Sadly, on several important fronts, the franchise that now occupies this space fails to measure up. The pizza is not nearly as good.... From the cheese, to the crust, to the sauce. Not to mention the fact that our veggie pizza showed up covered with onion, and I like onion. Then there's the ranch dressing. Ah how we loved the ranch dressing under the previous management. Definitely a "don't know what you got till it's gone" situation.

This is not the iconic Ledos that those in the college park area know and loved. We ordered a pizza and it was cold and not the same toppings we were used to. I thought I was eating cardboard. Very disappointing.

Delicious pizza and even better service! I did not get the name of our specific waitress but she was so kind and generous and even made us laugh pretty hard! We were in the room toward the back of the restaurant and she was kind enough to offer us a better spot near the front. I don't know what her name is but she definitely deserves a raise!
