Leña Pizza + Bagels

After years of missing opening days, my brothers and I finally had a chance to try Leña. Since we are only in the area when visiting our parents, the stars just never aligned. We are SO impressed with the quality and taste. The pizzas, bagels AND dessert are all incredible. As someone who travels frequently, this is some of the best pizza I've had. The family's favorite was the Stracciatella special and the Meat Lovers. We did try and enjoy the Prosciutto Arugula, Margherita, and the Mushroom Truffle as well. The Coconut Lime Cheesecake was AMAZING. I'm not a fan of citrus flavors in my cakes and cookies, but WOW. The Nutella Calzone, however, was not very good. It was probably the only thing the family disliked. The same morning, we also dined in for breakfast. Great bagels, but nothing like their pizzas. Bagels are worth a try, but you won't be missing out on much. The pizza? MUST try. We will definitely be back.

Do not miss out on this one, the food & service are excellent! We drove to Cleveland from Memphis just to eat here, we made it early Saturday in time for bagels, which were better than all the bagels I've had in NYC, truly wonderful. We came back at night for pizza, which was perfection, truly Neapolitan, few places I've had pizza in the south can touch this. I had their veggie special and my partner had pepperoni, we also had a delicious Italian Cab Franc to go with it, their wine list is small but mighty. They happen to have tiramisu on the menu, which we were lucky enough to get before it sold out, and it was amazing. On top of such incredible food, the service was impeccable, everyone was so friendly and super attentive! I will definitely make the drive again, it was absolutely worth it.

What a wonderful spot! We drove from the Jackson area, about 2.5 hours, and it was worth it. Despite the line, service was quick. Staff was friendly and you could tell we were in a small town because people were greeting each other by name. The menu is simple and everything we had was perfectly balanced and cooked. The dough is the star from the appetizer to the dessert. The sauce was clearly fresh and made in house. I think the Nutella calzone was my favorite. The warm dough and creamy Nutella contrasted perfectly with the fresh fruit.

Don't be deterred by the line out the door. The fresh bagels on Saturday mornings.are worth it!! We had breakfast sandwiches and took 1/2 dozen bagels home for later. Oh, and the coffee is excellent.

I knew I’d have to try out Leña on my trip to Cleveland this year. I have known Marisol and Rory for many years and was excited to support them. Everything was so flavorful and just delicious in every aspect. I was sad when I finished my leftovers the next day because it was just so good I didn’t want it to end. My friends and I got the Caprese Salad, Bread+Cheese, Chicken Capricciosa(white sauce), and the Pepperrory. We also went back Saturday morning for bagels and cream cheese. Also, so full of flavor. If you’ve been thinking about trying Leña, definitely makes plans to go soon. You will be wondering why you waited so long to eat this amazing food. ♡ ♡ ♡

What sorcery is this? Seriously, if all food was this good the world would be a different place. Some of the best pizza you'll ever try, but what I really love are the homemade bagels they serve on Saturday mornings (until they run out). Grab a bagel and a coffee and step out Cleveland, Mississippi's cute downtown greenstrip (just across the street) to eat in the shade. In the spring and summer, you'll also be treated to music from the cute little farmers market that takes place every Saturday morning.

We were excited to try Leña Pizza + Bagels after reading the NYT review. We live in the Bay Area and come to Mississippi about once a year to visit family. We were blown away! It’s more than phenomenal pizza. Marisol & her team are warm and welcoming and have created an authentic and inviting atmosphere where locals & visitors can come together to enjoy great food. We felt energy and community. Leña Pizza is a treasure. We’ll be back! 👏🏼

Lena pizza is phenomenal! The best. It never disappoints. There is a reason they have been voted as some of the best pizza in the U.S., and even in the world!

The pizza and bagels and well anything served here is amazing ! The staff and owner are super pleasant and so efficient. Quaint little seating area that you will enjoy!

Authentic Neapolitan wood fired pizza that is better than in Naples. The real secret is DON'T SKIP DESSERT. They are all amazing, but you will dream about the tiramisu for weeks afterwards. Located within walking distance of the Cotton House and the downtown green strip. It is a great place to grab a bite to eat with friends.

Great food and great service! Came for the bagels on a Saturday morning right when they opened and there was a line waiting at the door. Tried several bagels and both breakfast sandwich options. All was delicious!

Best food around. Hands down. Great food, great owners worth every penny. Support local and get amazing pizza is a win win for everyone. The place is clean and welcoming

This is the perfect cozy date night or casual dinner. The pizza ingredients won't make your stomach hurt unlike other pizza spots! Service was fast and kind. Truly authentic and so yummy! Support small, local businesses.

We stopped in after a baseball game and wow! These pizzas were made fresh right in front of us. The kids loved watching the wood fire pizza oven and were fascinated by the entire process. I can't recommend Leña's enough! Definitely the best pizza in the delta, so don't get "lost" on the way

Great food and atmosphere. Salad and deserts are just as good as the pizza. Check it out in downtown.
