Uncle Leo’s Pizza

Uncle Leo’s pizza is my new favorite pizza
Spot, what a deal two (2) Large one topping for $ 18.99, I ordered one sausage and one bacon, homemade sauce and provel cheese these pizzas are very tasty, another Failoni’s St. Louis hit, try this great find i’am sure you will enjoy!!!

I have been eating Leo’s Pizza in Kansas City MO for about 30 years now. This is my first time coming to Uncle Leo’s here in the STL area. I have to say that Leo would be pleased. This is like a slice of home for me. These guys know what they are doing. They are friendly and do a great job. I would give them 10 stars if I could. If you haven’t been to Uncle Leo’s yet please go! You’ll be glad you did.

i don’t know that I’d go so far as to say it’s the best pizza in south county, but we had this for lunch last week and it was delicious. i got the lunch pizza and salad. the pizza was good, your typical st louis pizza… but the salad was delicious and loaded with provel. if you work within the delivery area, it’s worth your time!

Stopped by this little gem because I heard it was good, best move I could have made. I ordered a pizza and a salad. The salad was amazing and the croutons to die for. Then the pizza came out. I ordered a small provel cheese with mushrooms and onion. The only thing I was upset about was I did not order a large!!! It was the best pizza I have had in quite some time. Not to mention one of the owners, his name was Alex, was so friendly and made you want to come back. I have told everyone to give it a try, truly delicious, you won’t be disappointed!!!

My first time tonight. I got mix mozzarella and provel with sausage, green pepper. The pizza well prepared but no real flavor. Cheese bland not much flavor to sauce.
I had order of toasted ravioli and it was good.
To many grest pizza options in SOCO to try this one again. Sorry guys.

Try the Donna’s pizza! Excellent with chicken, spinach, sauce, and bacon! The chicken cooked very well and blended in very well with the cheese. We also had the wings and T-​ravs also very good, will definitely order them again. The pepperoni pizza excellent crust very fresh and easy to bite into. Donna a wonderful host we even got the deal she pointed out on the menu!

Not very good. I can’t really speak towards anything in particular because there is no distinct flavor.

This was the first time that I was at Uncle Leo’s Pizza. I found it to be a very quaint little place just a few tables for EAt in mostly carry out. I think they have a real niche in the market. I love their pizza and try to get there any chance I can. All the staff was very friendly, very service oriented and wanted to make sure everything was perfect. i’m not sure how they make their pizzas the same every time you have them but I love the consistency that I know whether I get a pizza there this evening or if I get one there in six months it will taste just the same. That is so important in the restaurant industry.
I wish you guys all the success in the world for your new adventure.

Bottom Line:
Independent, Pizza — (Good Ingredients, Prep Needs More Care), Customer Service Needs Improvement
Overview:
The previous tenant, Lin-​Ferry Pizzeria, a decent pizza place with a very friendly staff, is now occupied by Uncle Leo’s. The interior may have one table for dining inside, but primarily, this is a carry-​out joint. The Uncle Leo’s owners have made some nice cosmetic improvements to the customer entrance, as well as to the exterior. Although these enhancements are nice, I must admit there are some other areas that can use some work, specifically, the food preparation and their customer service.
Food:
I ordered a large sausage and onion pizza, well done. I also ordered a large house salad requesting romaine lettuce only and leaving the cheese off, as I am not a fan of iceberg lettuce.
Once I got home, I was really looking forward to trying to Faloni’s sauce. As I understood, this location is an offshoot of Faloni’s on Manchester near Dogtown, which has been in business for some time. Well, I must admit, I did enjoy all the ingredients on this pizza. Everything worked well together. The problem I had with the pizza is that the sausage pieces on the pizza were almost patty size. This made the sausage a bit sparse on the pizza, as well as making each bite of sausage a mouthful of more sausage than pizza.
The house salad, unfortunately, was disappointing as well. The flavor was OK, but the leafs of romaine were miniature. It was like I got the bottom of bag of the leaves of romaine. Personally, I am not a fan of lettuce leaf «backbone». I felt like I was eating a full salad worth of backbone. I realize this is a personal preference, but I do think you would not make a salad that had nothing but small leafs.
Service:
As soon as I entered from outside, I was greeted by Donna. I remember her name because the lady who was in line ahead of me introduced herself to her. Well, when I approached the counter, the phone rang. I watched Donna answer the phone and then proceed to take the caller’s order, including answering questions about the menu. I thought given that I was standing in line and at their counter ready to order, I should have been given priority. On the same note, when I asked about the salad and the type of lettuce used, she acted like it was a problem. If I recall correctly, it was one of the food handlers in back that chimed in and said they could use the «caeser» for my salad to accommodate my request. I assumed that meant they use romaine only for Caeser salad. As a restaurant business owner, I think one would want to try to do what they can to please the customer and not react like the request is going to be a problem.
One other issue that came up for me was that it was not until I had picked up my completed order that Donna brought to my attention coupons were available. For the same price of a two-​topping pizza and salad, I could have ordered a large deluxe pizza and a chef salad; perhaps not the exact same price, but within a dollar or two. I would have appreciated the heads up, as a customer.
Summary:
I certainly miss Lin-​Ferry Pizzeria. Both the staff and the food were what kept me coming back. I am not sure what to think about Uncle Leo’s. When I posted on Facebook about the new business and my level of satisfaction, a fellow foodie chimed in that they had been there, as well. Their pizza box apparently was very greasy. I do not know all the details, but it does not sound like my friends enjoyed the experience they had at Uncle Leo’s, either.
In the end, I would be willing to give them another chance, but I think a few things could use some shaping up.
