We had dinner at the 8.30 booking last night and were served by several different staff - all were the loveliest humans and the perfect combination of friendly, down-to-earth, and helpful. The food as always was exceptional - highly recommend the Zucchini pizza! We've been to Leo's countless times and have never been disappointed.

Service was warm and friendly as usual, and the food delicious. My only qualm was that the portion size of our pasta was very small, and we felt it could have been a bit more generous for the price.

📍Leonardo’s Pizza Palace, Carlton Is this the best pizza in Melbourne?? It’s definitely up there if you ask me. I also loved sitting by the open kitchen and watching them make the pizza, there is nothing better if you ask me. We had the: ➖Pork and Fennel sausage pizza (a MUST HAVE) ➖The mushroom pizza ➖The zucchini pizza with hot honey (I would skip this one) ➖Cacio e Pepe polenta (DELICIOUSSSS we almost got a second serving but were too full) $5 each Each pizza was around $30 each, which is spenny but they were MASSIVE. We got 3 pizzas between 4 of us (and we are all big eaters) and had more than half of a pizza left. I would say to get one pizza less than you would here due to their generous sizing, and think they are 1000% worth the price in terms of size and quality. I loved the thin bases and fluffy crusts. Unfortunately one pizza had slightly burnt crust, but that was the only fault. I also loved the wine list here and will definitely be back for delicious pizza. Overall 4.6 ⭐️ out of 5.
