About Ledo Pizza
Discover our journey of serving authentic Italian pizza with passion and tradition since 1952
Our Story
Founded in 1952, Ledo Pizza began as a small family restaurant with a simple mission: to serve the most authentic and delicious Italian pizza in America.
Our founders, Giuseppe and Maria Ledo, brought their traditional Italian recipes and passion for quality ingredients from their homeland to Connecticut. What started as a small neighborhood pizzeria has grown into a beloved institution, but our commitment to quality and authentic flavors remains unchanged.
Today, we continue to honor our founders' legacy by using only the finest ingredients, traditional cooking methods, and the same family recipes that have been passed down through generations. Every pizza we serve tells the story of our heritage and dedication to excellence.
