Papa Leone's Pizza

This place stole a piece of my heart on our recent visit. First time to Lake Havasu and this spot was a family favorite, to the point this was dinner every night lol. The cheese pizza is honestly the best, but the crust is the real winner! I see lots of reviews about the service/attitude of the owner, but this place is exactly how I’d expect a small, authentic pizza place to be. No complaints from us! Keep it up Papa Leone, we’ll be back!

spent 30 dollars on a half pepperoni half margherita pizza and the margherita side came with literally no sauce what’s so ever. genuinely was just cheese bread and some chopped tomatoes thrown on top. extremely disappointed because up until now we’ve enjoyed there pizza and never had issues ordering the margherita pizza prior.

We had the pizza, it was good. However the attitude of people/owner is not good. They were rude if asked any questions about the menu.

This place was awesome. Food was full of flavor. And we were able to watch them make everything from scratch. We had the barbecue chicken pizza and a regular cheese pizza. Even the cheese pizza was amazing. The guys in the back were friendly & helpful in our ordering process. We had "London Bridge Bucks" so we were able to splurge & the food did not disappoint. We will be visiting again 😊

Hands down one of the best pizzas in Lake Havasu! The crust is perfectly cooked, the toppings are super fresh, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the whole place has that true local-favorite vibe. Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or feeding the whole family, Papa Leon’s never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Been going here for years and I just can’t support this business anymore because of the customer service is so awful. Not only that, but the quality of pizza has gone down, but the price has gone way up. You would think after going in there since I was a kid( over 20 years now) that the owner would be a little bit more nice but nope their attitude SUCKS!!!! I’ll be taking my entire family elsewhere from now on. You guys need to work on your attitudes. People come to Lake Havasu to have a good time. From seeing all the other reviews, I could tell I’m not the only one that gets the vibe.

I appreciated the quick service and the pizza being hot. Taste was average. I was really excited to try this place out and the owners and workers were very kind. The pizza just didn’t stack up and could’ve used quite a bit more cheese and a little bit better flavor. Our favorite was barbecue chicken and we also like the artichoke pizza but like I said pretty average.

So I've been to Papa Leone's many of times they're one of the greatest Pizzas around. They've been here for quite some time since I've been here since 97. Also which I didn't know have a back patio deck that sees an overlooked the London Bridge. If you're looking for a back East Pizzeria you want to come to Papa Leone's located right in the English Village right by the big fountain you can't miss him. I ended up winning a free pizza in a gift certificate raffle and that's why I'm here but I'm going to come here anyway because they are one of the best in town. You can find them by going to the London Bridge Resort and they're right by the nautical pool or the London Bridge. They have an outside dining they have inside dining and I also looks like they have a outside back patio dining. Come check them out Papa Leone's Pizza. Face it promotions approved

This is my favorite pizza in Lake Havasu. Service is good and food even better. It is pricey for pizza but well worth it.

If I had to sum up this place in one word, it would be forgettable. Nothing about the inside, outside, or even the food stands out. The pizza was just okay, definitely helped by adding the hot honey for some much-needed flavor. The house salad reminded me of something you'd grab from a gas station cooler. My husband ordered the meatball sandwich, which unfortunately came out cold in the middle. The marinara tasted flat, almost like it came straight from a can, and didn't do anything to help the dish. When my husband mentioned the issue to the "server," the response was... nothing. No apology, no offer to fix it, he simply tossed the sandwich in the trash and walked back inside. Clearly, they care about their customers about as much as they care about the food they serve. Overall, not a terrible place, but absolutely nothing memorable--and certainly not somewhere we'd return to.

Owner is a heartless jerk. Closes up 15 minutes early and wants to fight clients when asked why he is closing early. Cocky POS. Kids with us looking forward to pizza and he did not care. Said they are closed no matter what , 15 minutes before 8pm. Even though we have supported his business many times. If you're gonna have a business, handle it correctly. Tiny restaurant needs a lot of upkeeping and the decor is outdated.

Nice ambiance, the services was attentive and gave the best advise as to what to order . The pizza was delicious, not too cheesy, not too saucy , not too salty. My favorite is the dough, it's crispy and fresh . Recommend while visiting Havasu.

We walked in one night and they were like we're so sorry we're closing...then the next day quite by accident we made our way back...and I am so glad we did...this is a great pie! Not a Chicago style by any means but still worth the money... The crust is crispy without being a cracker, yet floppy enough!! A perfect 8 on that one... The sauce was a little light but what I could taste was the perfect blend of spicy and sweet that we love...and the cheese was the best part... We also splurged on their garlic cheese bread and I almost ate too much of that! It was soooooooo good!!!!! I had to make myself stop so I could taste the pizza... This place is totally worth it!!!

Visiting from Pomona, California. Great pizza, love the wings. Cheese bread was amazing... service was fast and friendly. Scenery of the London Bridge!!!! Thank you for a great time. We will be back!!!

Moved to LHC a few years ago and this was the first time trying Papa Leone's pizza, after trying some of the few other pizza places around I'd say this is my favorite. I ordered online which was pleasantly uncomplicated, was given an accurate pick up time, and then given a friendly greeting at their cozy establishment when I arrived for my order. Overall great service, the best tasting experience I've had so far, and will definitely be returning for more. 10/10 recommend

Papa Leone's is a great place to order pizza while you are partying in the channel! They have great pizza and calazones. We were hungry and didn't want to leave our spot in the channel so we decided to call in our order. The guy on the phone is quick and efficient (straight to the point, which I appreciate). The best part is a young gentleman on a skateboard comes and delivers the pizza right to our boat! It was great service especially with the weather being so hot. The young man was polite and appreciated the tip we gave him! So every time we are partying in the channel, my kids say, "when are we getting our Papa Leone's??"

My wife and I were visiting Lake Havasu and the London Bridge area on our winter vacation. Next to the London Bridge Resort is this pizza restaurant. Not wanting to drive anywhere for lunch, we decided to have some pizza here. Service is quick and the pizzas are done shortly after you make the order. The staff are teens who are not the most chatty, but they get the job done. This is a classic pizza shop in a tourist trap area. Prices are a bit elevated because of the location, but convenient. The food is okay. It's fresh, and has your fast pizza shop flavor. There are two televisions so you can watch games that are televised. They do have beer, but I didn't order any, just a pitcher of soda. This is a great place when staying at the resort next door. Casual and laid back, you can't go wrong here.

Love this place,the pizza is always on point and the guys that work here are always friendly and the beer is cold ;)

Great pizza! Very good location near the lake. Friendly staff. Chill small place with great pizza.

Food was great! Ordered it ahead of time and it was ready quickly by the time we got there. Staff was friendly and attentive. 70$ for pizza though? I would do it again to try out some more of their specialties.

their pizza is bomb, i'm not gonna lie, but the employees (including the owner) seriously need an attitude check. they weren't welcoming at all and literally looked at us crazy for asking for 5 ranches... like hello, there were 5 of us dining in? it's not that deep. honestly, i'd order delivery because the food is good, but i would NEVER sit inside again. the vibes were so off, and now i understand why the place was completely empty on a Saturday at lunch. that kinda says it all.

$18.40 buys you a 10 inch pizza and a flat Coke. wasn't impressed with either one. I asked for some Sriracha, and when I got it, I looked at it, and there was mold on the top and in the cap, There was a older gentleman working with a group of young men, and they seem nice, but he didn't care if I would've been there or not. I just can't

Best Pizza in Havasu. Has been around for years and still is outstanding. If you fine in great balcony with tables overlooking the river, quite a view.

Excellent amazing great taste on this pizza right here. Gods blessing is on this place.

Meh. Got the pepperoni - tasted like greasy pizza. Loading up on toppings provided at the table made it better but still not my fav. Sorry!

Was looking for something to eat right fast after being out on the boat for hours, with 8 men. We just decided to come here and I'm not upset one bit that we did. Walked in, got the pizza ovens right there behind the counter to order at. There's a nice bit of seating in the restaurant with both small tables and bigger tables. Guy at the counter seemed a little, not upset but just a little worked up, but I guess I get it having 8 rowdy guys walk in the place. He also brought our food to our tables so, not much to say about service here. To start, the pizza here was outstanding. I didn't expect much when we chose this spot but the pizza was really really good! The wings on the other hand, amazing taste on the buffalo sauce, but the chicken wings themselves were pretty bad. Broken bones, real chewy meat, just low quality chicken wings. I think it was like $55 for 2 large meat lovers pizza and a draft beer, and he did give us a pitcher of water but I think that was complimentary. Overall, I guess this isn't a bad spot at all but there are so many more options. Given our situation I was happy with coming here. The pizza is outstanding, but the wings...don't get them.

I'm a tough critic when it comes to pizza. Papa Leone's hit the mark. We stopped in on a busy weekend evening. They were busy but attentive. Our pizza was hot and delicious. Our take out order delayed just enough so it was hot when we finished. I'd recommend to anyone wanting a good pizza in the area.

We going to havasu for years and every time we going to the pizza place the owner never ever smile say hallo don't welcome you and acting like he's the only pizza in havasu. The food ok the veggie sandwich basically salad inside the bread lettuce black olive and 1 slice of cheese not even hot or toasted bread. And the pizza not that great very thin .This year was first and last that our group will step at that place. we all have boats store at havasu we giving a lot Busniss to the town which we love. But not to this pizza place sorry .Change your attitude be humble smile its free .we all are Busniss owner and don't act like you .

My go to when hanging out in the evening in the channel. Creature of habit and always order a Margherita pizza. Sometimes I walk or they deliver right to your boat. I've also eaten on their patio which has a great view overlooking the Village and Channel.

They are pretty slow and they're always off task but somehow they get it done and they have really bad attitude towards people, including children, and the service was not very good in overall just not recommend it very thin piece of pizza and does not taste very good and has a really high price so overall would never go here again

Service sucks!! We love the pizza but if you're willing to wait for an hour and a half not worth it. Ordered our salad, pizza and drinks only to get drinks after a fifteen + minute wait. Continently asking when we would get our salads they came out 45 minutes later. Mind you we were only a party of 3 and the 2nd table there. So with that said we got our pizza an hour and a half later. Meanwhile others came in and left. When we'd ask about our food server was rude and said it coming out soon. It's happened before but never this long so we thought we'd give it another try. Never again.

I was there on Friday, July 25th, in the evening, and I ordered a Pinot Grigio. They were out, but the male owner offered to go next door to find another bottle to accommodate us. I have worked in the service industry in Alaska for 34 years, and this was a class act by the owner. We will definitely be back. Plus, they have BEAUTIFUL views of the London Bridge.

Wow what a great pizza place! I was here 20 years ago and it is the same great place for pizza! If you time it just right you can dine on the deck overlooking the London Bridge!

Really liked this small pepperoni pizza and pitcher of root beer, despite the owner being from Boston. The place says back east pizza, but usually you would expect New York, not Beantown. Anyway, the place has a nice patio for a lake view and the pizza had a good chewy crust and a sauce with some punch we both enjoyed. Good pizza near the bridge.

Good pizza, and convenient when watching the parade of lights and have a lot to feed!

Came for the Xmas boat parade and had an amazing experience. The place was packed. Was told we would have a 35 min wait. Turned out to be about an hour. Which is what I expected with how busy they were. It was so busy they had to stop taking pizza orders at about 530 pm because of how busy it was and wasn't sure if they had enough dough to accommodate everyone. Or pizzas were perfect. I had cheese. And my friends had a combo. Both looked and tasted great. I ate my entire small it was so good. The service was great. There were a bunch of young men working and they were amazing. Such hard workers to make sure everyone had everything they needed. And the gentleman that took our order(owner maybe) seemed to just make everything look so smooth. They have a big front window so you can watch the pizza maker making the pies. I'll for sure make it a point to come back anytime we're in the area. Sorry forgot to take pics of my pie I was so hungry and it was so good. Thanks again

Same great pizza it always is when I visit equally great view if you can find a seat outside

Nothing better than a great pizza delivered to your boat while hanging out at London Bridge! Never disappoints!

Solid pizza spot in Lake Havasu - GF pizza is good as well! Pepperoni and sausage is good along with margarita pizza.

The BBQ chicken pizza hit the spot after a long hot day of touring the London Bridge. The chicken was nicely seasoned and the crust was nice and thin. Yum....

This has become our favorite place to visit after a long day of being on the boat. The staff is friendly and helpful when asking for sides or to go boxes. The pizza is delicious, very flavorful and they are generous on the toppings. We went to our air bnb and wished we had taken food to go. The place itself is clean, lots of seating, tvs are on and there are a few arcade games for the kids to play on. Check this place out you will not regret it!

I can't deny I'm disappointed their pizza isn't the best in town. They are not the worst, this pizzeria has been a local fixture for as long as I can remember. I do recall one 4th of July weekend coming in for a pie while enjoying a ride on the lake. Obviously, it didn't leave an impression because I never went back this was some 20 years ago. We decided to give them another shot as our besties in town speak so highly of the pizza and the quality of their sauce. Sadly to say I still have my favorite and its stands as the best.... The pies are a nice size and the price is right but you do get what you pay for. Thin crust with easy sauce with zero zest and sprinkled pizza. The pepperoni is tasty and they use fresh mushrooms but their sauce is flavorless. I would suggest since you don't want to use oregano or rosemary in your sauce spruce up your cheese, maybe try adding some Asiago or parmigiano Reggiano. I am going to continue my quest for the best Pizza in town as for now my choice stands. Please read my reviews to see who the current winner is.

The best pizza in Havasu!! We look forward to eating here every visit. Quick service too!

Very good pizza! Sauce and ingredients were excellent! We had our pizza delivered and the delivery was quick!

Good place got a quick dinner. Delicious pizza at a fair price. If pragmatic, weathered and beaten is the intention of the decor, they nailed it. The staffers were friendly.

We left our coupon in the car and the owner still honored it. This pizza is good every time :))

Walked in to order - understood it was busy but was told no more orders for 45 mins. Offered to wait as long as possible and was told "no more orders call me in 45 mins to see if I can take your order" - doesn't matte throw good your pizza is if your customer service is that bad...

absolutely amazing pizza, 10/10. the flavors were really great, got a large pepperoni and it fed my group of 4 and we still had leftovers. also ordered the cheesy garlic bread , bro it was to die for. their crust was spectacular and i love the fact that they have a table shaker with garlic powder in it, like an absolute slay and genius

Pizza was good, but follow up customer service on a mistake pizza was poor. Said they'd replace the pizza, but then refused to answer the phone when we called for it. Thanks Nick!

Conveniently located in a hot spot next to the London Bridge. Great prices. Good service. Ok food. We saw the place the day we checked in to London Bridge Resort. We checked them out on Yelp. We called. And called. And called again, hoping to get delivery one evening because we settled in for the night. No answer. Website had a few different glitches, so it took some refreshing to figure out what was on the pizzas. Finally just decided to get dressed and go order in store. Luckily it didn't take too long - about 15 minutes. It was freezing out. :/ The pizza is okay. I think we expected better since the Yelp reviews were raving about it. The garlic cheese bread is probably best when hot and right out of the oven. It got cold by the time we started eating. :/

Not only is the pizza overpriced and cracker thin. They can't seem to order the proper amount of food product to stay open on a Saturday. Systemic management failures every day. Other than desperation and the desire to eat close to the lake, there is no plausible reason why any sensible person would even coincided going to this place . Do yourself a favor , and find another pizza place . Thank you l

The view from the patio at night Wow just wow Best Brooklyn style pizza in Arizona . Pay no mind to the attitude of the owner it goes perfectly with the true to core pizza roots . Authentic.... Period. P.S. add sausage to the Margarette pizza and you have a master piece!!!!!!!!!!

We called ahead to order and it was ready when we got there . We sat on the balcony and enjoyed watching the Christmas lights come on .

Best pizza in LHC for sure, and likely between LA and LV. Amazing hand tossed crust thats thin but crispy. Plenty of toppings to choose from and quick service

Pizza was bomb ! In town all week ate here 3 days ! We ordered a large pepperoni, Large all meat, Large supreme! Met the owner while waiting for pizza ! Super nice guy reminds me of an old school pizza parlor ! Definitely be back for sure !

Made my pizza incorrectly and wanted me to bring the pizza and the card down to refund. It was a $25 pie, but I don't have time for (likely MORE) bad service. Keep my $25, but here's your one star for not refunding or even offering to remake the pie.

Love going here to watch the boats go by while eating delicious pizza with a cold beer. All the guys working there are super friendly and attentive. Always recommend!!
