Cucina San Leone earns broad praise for pizza and pasta, with three large vegetarian pizzas arriving hot and crusty, good value for the west island, and convenient takeout via DoorDash. The Gigi pasta is noted as very flavorful with generous portions, arriving steaming hot with garlic bread. Reviews emphasize fresh, homemade quality and ingredients like real cold pressed olive oil, with dishes made to order and no pre made components. Friendly staff and a memorable, witty owner in response to reviews add to the experience. A minor hiccup is mentioned when an Uber Eats ticket led to a steak sub being served as something else, resulting in a partial refund. Opinions on pizza variety vary, with some calling it the best or a hidden gem and others finding some pizzas dry or pricey, though the vegetarian option and Gigi pizza are widely recommended. Overall, it comes across as a long standing go to for pizza and pasta, delivering homemade flavor and consistent service that keeps customers coming back.
Ordered three large pizzas for lunch time, 2 all dressed & 1 vegetarian. All three were hot with a good amount of topics. The crust/dough was very good.
Good value pizza place for the west island, would return in the future.
i ordered a 14in steak & pepperoni sub & the restaurant changed it to steak sub. (see photos) So because someone was lazy & didn't properly check the uber eats ticket, i didn't get to eat what i ordered. I received a partial refund from uber eats but would have much preferred to pay in full for what i actually ordered & wanted to eat. Pizza was good though.

Wanted to try the pizza, reviews sounded good but pizza ain't close to be good, dry, not much ingredients, people should stick with gigi's if they're looking for canadian style pizza.
I never write reviews for anything unless it's deserving... & these guys deserve it! For the last few years this has been the only one for pizza & pasta! Not only do they use quality & fresh ingredients like real cold first press olive oil & quality wines & vodka for cooking, as far as I can tell, nothing there is processed & dishes are not pre-made... everything is made live per order! This says a lot! Always happy & friendly staff makes it all worth the wait for excellent home-made food. Thank you! A++++++++++...
Heard so many great things about this place & finally had the chance to try them out. Ordered a Cajun chicken sub & oh boy was it ever delicious!!! Messiest sandwich to eat but each bite was like heaven. Will be going back there for sure & trying as many different dishes as I can. Edit: I went back for seconds & ordered the spaghettini Montanara this time. Once again, I was blown away. Generous portion & unbelievably good!! I usually don't take risks ordering a cream sauce pasta in restos as many of them have been disappointing but these guys exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to try their pizza!
First time eater. The meat lovers' pizza was to die for. Exactly what I wanted. Perfect crust & sauce & really high quality toppings. Will definitely order again.
Our first time trying San Leone we were blown away. It surpassed all expectations. We now order their pastas & pizza via Uber Eats on the regular, food arrives fresh & is still very hot, as if it just came out of the kitchen (quick tip - if you really like it hot, the spaghettini option retains heat very well). We have tried many Italian restaurants on uber eats, including some expensive/highly rated ones, & the taste & quantities of San Leone cannot be surpassed. Their side of bread is DELICIOUS unlike the usual commercial bread that can also be found on a plane lol. Our approved/loved dishes are: Torino, Aldo, Dalia pastas, their margarita pizza is a go-to pleaser for all tastes & their meatballs are also very good. Highly recommend!
Pizza is salty overall, & the center was mushy. If you have to get a pizza, the San Leone is the best combination of ingredients though. The chicken one wasn't great at all.
top pizza in west island & the all dressed sub very good too ... smoke a shparatel before mama mia u scoff half the pizza & the 10'incher & ur snoozing afte
I'm sorry I didn't want to be negative, but 30, 00 pizza, pretty skimpy on meats for 30 dollars, , no flavour, I'm sad, I was expecting more.. Live & learn..
Just an old fashioned, hole in the wall pizza joint. No eat in facilities. Barely any place to wait inside. But the pizza is worth every penny & every minute waiting. Friendly service. Best to call ahead.
