Ledo Pizza

My order on Sunday ⁵⁄₂₉:
one large cheese
one large white
one Veg In
one Pop Pie
When I arrived to pick up, the cheese pie had been omitted from the order, so I had to wait 15 minutes for grumpy cook to make one. They gave me a whopping 10% discount (like $ 1.20) for my wait. Should’ve opened the other boxes while I was waiting, because when I returned home with my now cold pizzas, the Veg In was covered with cheese.
(It is supposed to be: sauce, spinach, tomatoes, red onions, black olives, jalapeños, fresh basil. Served without cheese. *Vegan).
The vegan in our group went hungry. Bah. Will not return… ever.

Steak and Cheese Subs are awesome!

Well it got worse. Just look at the picture of the chicken parm sandwich I posted.
Took FOREVER to make a simple sandwich and they weren’t particularly busy. I urge you to look at the picture of what I received. I am sure people in prison have food that is prepared more carefully! Hardly any sauce, chicken was cold and folded over.
Done with this place.

This place is hit and miss. I run a blog on FB called Fauquier Foodie join for free and check out where we all like and for discounts. I am a food blogger/​critic in Fauquier and surrounding counties in NOVA. The pizza is just ok my kids like it as does hubby — me not so much but it is all in whom you are feeding and as for a pizza I feel it is better than many chains you can order from but nothing excellent. Service is a hit when the owner/​manger is there but late at night a disaster. On late evening with my family, I ordered some chicken wings that were fried to death that came way after the other food, waitress was a careless teenager who had no care and spent her time in the back kitchen not asking us if we wished for refills nor cared that my dish came after the mains and was overcooked. Other times I have gone service has been good as it often is. The pasta is not as good as it could be, overcooked and not home made just blah but better than some frozen crap you would buy from the store — go to Café Torino in town review up on my Fauquier Foodie FB page the owner there makes it fresh and you can hear him singing opera in the kitchen. I hope they improve it is ok for families better than some other chain joints but if looking for real Italian check out Café Torino. I am generously giving them 3 stars.

went here last night for a meeting. I do not eat pizza but it looked great. So what if it’s cut into small squares. We had the banquet room completely full and our server handled it very well. Everyone around me looked like they enjoyed their food. By the way they DO sell beer and wine~

Every time we go here, or place an order for carry out … it takes forever! Called in an order tonite for 4 steak and cheese, said 15 minutes, so ½ hour later I’m calling asking why they haven’t brought out the order as they said to my mother waiting in her car as they asked her to do. My mother is sitting in the car watching the girls chat and our order sitting on the counter!!! Go into eat, still wait. rude service, heaven forbid you ask a question about something on the menu! We normally love ledo food, but this location leaves a lot lacking in food and service.

I stopped by Ledo’s tonight for the first time and had a great meal. I was greeted with a welcoming smile entering and exiting by the front cashier and Brittany also gave excellent service with a great, positive attitude. The pizza was good. I also appreciated the local community supporting atmosphere, and the bathroom was very clean which gives me hope that the kitchen is clean as well. Overall, Ledo’s was a good stop for me to grab some local town pizza.

We haven’t been to a Ledo’s Pizza in quite a few years, since our first visit was more than a little disappointing. But times & restaurants do change, so we decided to give the Ledo in Warrenton a shot last night for takeout.
I called the order in from home for hubby to pick up on his way home from work. The young lady taking down the order was very pleasant & polite, even though one could hear that it was quite busy in the background. Placed one order for an appetizer of «Spicy Toasted Ravioli» ($ 5.99), consisting of 6 or 7 medium-​size ravioli stuffed with Ricotta, Mozzarella, and Jalapeño peppers, breaded, fried, & served with a side of «LEDO sauce»; & one of their «Craft Pizzas» — the «Italian White Pizza» (18″-$ 15.74), consisting of «Garlic herb aioli sauce, Italian Fontina, smoked Provolone, Parmesan and Asiago cheeses».
The toasted ravioli were quite good. Nicely crisp without being tooth-​breaking, & completely greasefree. Mildly spicy in a good way, & served with a decent-​size plastic cup of a very nice thick well-​flavored marinara sauce.
The pizza was another story. If you’re not familiar with Ledo-​style pizza, they’re square (or rectangular) with a super-​thin, almost cracker-​like or flatbread-​like crust, & are precut into — ready for it? — literally (I measured) tiny little 3″ x 3″ squares. I don’t know if they do this because the crust is so thin & cracker-​like that it’s the best way to try to eat it or what, but it simply doesn’t work for me. Maybe if one planned to serve the pizza as party finger food, but as a meal item, it’s annoying. But the architecture of the pie aside, it went downhill from there. The sauce & cheese layer was so thin it was welded to the pie. And you honestly couldn’t taste any of the cheeses at all — just an overpowering saltiness with a touch of garlic. And the grease, oh the grease! (Or oil, or whatever it is.) I kid you not when I say that this pie had to be one of the most unpleasantly oily pies I’ve ever had (& I grew up in NY, where pizza ain’t pizza unless there’s olive oil running off of it — lol!). There was literally so much grease/​oil on this pie, that it soaked completely through the bottom of the paper-​lined thick cardboard pizza box. ALL the way through it to the point of leaving an oil slick on the counter! Frankly, neither one of us felt very well after just a few small pieces of this oily, salty disaster; & we ended up throwing most of it out. Just way too much oil & way too much salt. Heartburn heaven.
Bottom Line: Bill total came to $ 23.75, & while we might return for those cute & yummy ravioli & perhaps to try their sub sandwiches, we’ve crossed their pizzas off of our list for good. Hubby did say that the place was packed when he arrived for pickup, so perhaps we either ordered the wrong type of pie, just received a stray bad one, or maybe it’s just a personal preference thing.

OK, I know it isn’t fast food, and normally the quality is good. However it took one hour and 20 minutes to get our food. It was a simple order. Medium cheese pizza, a Stromboli and a salad. The ladies running the front counter tried to make it better with continual apologies. Service has consistently declined since the place opened. It used to be one of my favorite places to eat. but over the last year. it takes longer and longer to get my order which is not a hard order to accommodate. I think i am done no matter how much I like their pizza and Stromboli.

Years ago I used to eat at Ledo’s Pizza in Hyattsville, MD, and love the salad dressing and the pizza. I’ve been to this Warrenton location several times, hoping it will get better. It’s just awful and today was my last time there. The service was pretty good, with 2 friendly young waitresses, but the food is truly… ick.
My kids got pizza, which was average in my book. I wanted to try other things on the menu, so I ordered the soup, salad, and breadsticks. The soup of the day was French onion, my favorite, so I was excited about that. Oh, it was so awful I couldn’t eat it. Tasted like powdered bouillion, frozen to boot, served luke warm in a regular soup bowl (not crock) with… gasp… shredded mozerrella pizza cheese on top? I’ve NEVER not eaten every drop of my French onion soup, always wanting more because I love it so much, but a few bites of this and I pushed it aside and drank down a soda to wash out the powdered chemical taste from my mouth.
I asked to try the other soup, which was Italian wedding soup. This, too, was served luke warm, but the meatballs were COLD. COLD! Tasted like it was right out of a can, too. And this is an Italian restaurant? Truly the worst soup I’ve ever had… both of them.
Asked for the salad instead. I had fond memories of their house salad from years ago in Maryland, so I was hopeful I would enjoy it. It was a pile of chopped iceburg lettuce with VERY little of anything else, just a sliver of carrot, cherry tomato, and a bit of cheese/​salami. The house dressing wasn’t the same delicious vinagrette as years back, but an over-​flavored, over-​poweful, over-​cheesy conconction that was really disappointing.
The one tasty thing I had was the marinara that went with the breadsticks. The breadsticks were over-​flavored, too, so I just ate the marinara by itself (drank it — ha!). The sauce was truly delicious, so much so that I nearly bought a $ 4.99 jar of it to go. I would enjoy that with linguini.
Sorry, Ledo. I really want to enjoy you, but there are so many Italian restaurants, and yours is truly at the bottom.

OK, so another sandwich shop in the ubiqutious world of sandwich shops.
But wait… they also have pizza… and calzonnes… and lasagna… wait
a sec… this must be more than just a sandwich shop.
And it’s a franchise… but a Regional one with HQ in Annapolis.
Took a break from working in the Warrenton office today and checked this place out
with one of my co-​workers.
I followed his lead and had the steak and cheese sub. It was ok… not spectacular like PizzaRama but OK.
It comes with fries and I ordered sweet tea… wow…very sweet… had to order a side of water to diulte it.

Unlike some other reviews I actually enjoy eating at Ledos every now and then. There is no denying that food seems to be frozen or comparable to store bought pizza but it is cheap, fast, and the service is fast. I love the fried raviolis, even though I can make and have had much better.
My biggest complainant is what I have witnessed on my plate and my soon-​to-​be mother in-law’s take home pizza. There is a massive amount of grease on the pizza. When she took her pizza home the grease was destroying and pouring out of the box. She brought the pizza back and told them it was too greasy. She got a rude response and then preceded to show them by tilting the box and letting the grease pour from the box onto the counter. I would say point made.
It was voted Best Pizza in Warrenton, but I do not see how. There are many other pizza places that are far better, like Joe and Vinnie’s.

Pretty good food, pretty good service. I normally get the steak & cheese lunch special ($ 6.99). If it’s for dinner, I love their pizza. The best thing at Ledo’s (besides the pizza) is their sweet tea. :) They also have a back room for parties or large groups that come to eat there. Also a little secret — their honey mustard sauce is just Ken’s Honey Mustard dressing — you can buy it at the grocery store if you’d like to use it at home!

Ok… even after reading the reviews… I said I would try it. I’ve eaten at numerous of Ledo’s before, but this place taste weird. The sauce isn’t the same & we barely got sauce on our pizza. Definitely will not be returning

Look — this is a pizza place, right? So we ordered pizza… served on cafeteria trays? The pizza tasted like something my high school cafeteria would serve and my ceasar salad had a nice pool of water at the bottom of the bowl. (I guess it’s nice to know they wasted the lettuce).
The baked cheese fries were not bad, so if you’d like a colon-​blocking dish, be sure to order that.
Our friends ordered stromboli, and it actually looked pretty good. Maybe we should go and try that? But we ordered pizza… because it’s a pizza place… and it was the worst pizza ever.

I will NEVER go again… for two reasons. First of all, I came home with my pizza and ate two pieces and went to bite into the third and there was a pubic hair baked into the cheese of my pizza. OMG!!! This was not a case a mistaken identity… I know what a pubic hair looks like. So, I called Ledo’s to complain and I got the manager/​owner on the phone. I was very polite considering the situation, explained that I was very disturbed about almost eating a pubic hair. What did he say? Nothing worthwhile!!! Not a sorry, no offer to re-​make my pizza, not an offer to refund my $ 23, just a nonchalant denial. What? He practically called me a liar. So no, I never will eat there again!!!
