About Us
Leonardi’s started with a bag of flour, a long-distance relationship, and a shared bond over great pizza. Back when Kris was serving as a Firefighter in South Florida and Amanda was living in Brooklyn, their love for pizza was an instant connection after meeting at a music festival. Their long distance relationship was spent touring New York’s most legendary pizzerias as often as possible, dreaming about one day having a place of their own.
Amanda believed in the dream so much, she bought Kris his first bag of flour—and the journey began in a tiny apartment kitchen in North Palm Beach. What started as homemade pies for friends quickly turned into swapping out the conventional home oven for a traditional commercial deck oven, revising recipes, testing every day, and a staggering amount of people waiting online for the opportunity to pick up pies out of their apartment. Two years (and countless pies) later, Leonardi’s first official location was born.
At Leonardi’s, Kris and Amanda serve traditional 18" New York-style whole pies and slices while cutting zero corners on ingredients and production. Kris spent 2+ years fine tuning the dough program that is now used to produce Leonardi's 48 hour cold fermented dough which is made in house every day.
Leonardi's from day one was founded on a love story in more ways than one, and we are so honored to be a part of this community. We hope to keep bringing this neighborhood the pies we always dreamed of making for years to come!
