The place was a great time, good volume to talk with friends and hang out. The pizza was good too; it's a thin greasy style, which some in our party didn't like but I do. Perfect size for one. Very kind service too.

Alyson was SWONDERFUL! Having never been to the area, every one of Alyson’s suggestions was out of the park. We had the hot honey pepperoni pizza and her tour guide directions were amaze balls. Thank you Ledo’s AND Alyson. 5 stars. We will be back.

This particular location was suggested to me and came here to pick up dinner. Was greeted by friendly staff and quick service. Plenty of TV options and sports of all kinda to watch if you dine in with a nice bar area. I kinda wish I would of dined in, but was looking forward to getting off the road and to my hotel. The pizza was amazing and really liked the crust. Garlic cheese bread was just as good. Definitely give this place a chance and try it out!

I would’ve given a 1-star rating, but I’m giving 3 stars out of respect for the genuinely kind and professional staff who work there—especially the gentleman who calmly explained the refund process. That said, my experience last night was upsetting. I ordered a pizza and waited in the bar area. I was fine with the bar being closed, but one of the servers kindly offered to check with the manager if I could get one last drink while waiting. Unfortunately, the manager who came over was unnecessarily rude and dismissive. Rather than simply addressing the drink request, she abruptly told me to leave the bar area and sit elsewhere. I chose to stay calm. The situation escalated when I went to pick up my pizza. The same manager followed me to the restaurant counter and asked whether I still wanted the pizza or preferred a refund. I asked for the refund. However, instead of processing it clearly, she made an extremely serious and false accusation in front of customers and staff, claiming I had made two of the servers uncomfortable by asking for their numbers—which was completely untrue. I’ve visited this place before and never experienced this level of disrespect. While I appreciate the other staff members, what happened here was not only unprofessional, it was defamatory. I plan to follow up on this matter with management, because false accusations can have serious consequences and should never be taken lightly.

My meat lovers Calzone was amazing and my wife's sausage and mushroom pizza was also exceptional! The toppings were very generous. Also she ordered it well done and it was crisp. We love Ledo's and really don't get pizza or calzones anywhere else!

I ordered 2 pizzas for a small office party. The Pizza was ready on time and they tasted great. But the pizza's were barely cut into slices, and we had to get a spatula and a knife to cut slices during the luncheon.

Best pizza I ever ate! The crust is like no other - flaky and pastry-like. Sauce is something special!!! If you like pizza, it's worth going out of your way to get Ledo's. I promise you'll be glad you did!!!

Parking in the structure behind is free on Sundays. Nice neighborhood to stroll and enjoy spring weather. Food was better quality than expected. Kitchen made a mistake on our order, and more than compensated for the 5 minute delay. Staff was all friendly and helpful for a 1st timer who didn't know the menu.

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.

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. I Went Around 12:45 P.M. It Wasn't Very Busy Not Were There Many Customers Dining In.

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.

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!
