As a University of Maryland alum, my bias toward Ledo Pizza is undeniable--it's not just pizza; it's a tradition tied deeply to Maryland sports and campus life.
This hometown favorite delivers a uniquely satisfying experience, from its square slices to its distinctly cheesy flavor.
During my most recent visit, I ordered a personal pizza with nine perfectly portioned squares, which felt just right--enough to fill me up without being excessive.
The hallmark of Ledo's pizza lies in its consistent quality: every bite offers a balanced mix of creamy cheese, well-seasoned pepperoni, and a thin, cracker-like crust that's sturdy yet light.
Unlike many pizzas that can feel uneven from slice to slice, Ledo's "tavern style" approach ensures each square is equally enjoyable.
This particular location stood out for its clean environment and welcoming staff, predominantly run by Black workers--a detail I appreciated for the representation and professionalism they brought to the experience.
My pizza, priced at $12, felt like a fair deal for the quality and portion size.
Ledo's thin, non-floppy crust is a highlight for me--it adds a crisp texture without overshadowing the creamy richness of the cheese and the mild spice of the pepperoni.
The flavor is nostalgic yet timeless, embodying everything I've come to love about Maryland dining.
For Marylanders, Ledo Pizza is more than just a meal; it's a local institution that represents the pride of Terps everywhere.
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning fan, Ledo's is always worth a visit for a true taste of College Park tradition.
