What people say, in short
Many people recommend Leone's in Somerville, and some single out its Sicilian-style sheet pizza; one adds that it comes as a large sheet that could be cut into smaller squares. One calls the Sicilian fairly decent, and one says the walk from the station is worth it. Two are negative: one found the pizza warm but not very good, and one calls it very bland and does not see why it has such a loyal following.
