Leona's Cucina Italiana

Wow. Great service and amazing food! Had the Lasagna and Ravioli. Not everywhere can you get a vegetarian Lasagna. This place is really great Italian food!

Favorite Italian place in SD right now. Open later than most others, food is great and the staff are super nice and friendly. Recommend the magherita pizza but honestly everything I've had from there has been good. Prices are great too for the quantity and quality of food.

Great family owned pizza shop. For 20 years have searched for a great Boston/New York style pizza in San Diego. The only place I ever found was the Venetian over in Point Loma, which is too far from me, now being without a car.
Reasonable prices, pizza the way you wanted it and an excellent house salad. Are usually go for takeout there, and they are open late.
The first picture is of Leona herself as I am about to pay.
She’s working awfully hard, I’ve been there more than a dozen times the past 2 1/2 years and she’s always there making the pizza and manning the counter. This is the kind of business that deserves our support here in City Heights.

We love Leona's! Our experience has been nothing pleasant time after time. The pizza and service have been nothing less than outstanding as well. My children love it, and I do too. I order the eggplant parmesan sub and each time I get nice crispy eggplant and great seasoning.

Food was surprisingly fresh. Staff was attentive and service was quick. Garlic bread was hearty, salad was crisp, and dishes were large and tasty. I was satisfied.

Neighborhood is a little sketchy... If you live here though, make sure you check it out. Meals were a little pricey for me but included the bread and salad. I wouldn't necessarily make my way to visit again but I'd recommend it to those in the area.
