What people say, in short
Leo is a Williamsburg pizzeria that people recommend for a sit-down pie, with one diner praising the Margherita slice on the bakery side and another calling the New York pie good and the place underappreciated. A commenter groups it with other spots rated excellent but a notch below the most hyped names, and one person notes it leans more neo-Neapolitan than New York style. The clam pizza is mentioned as a highlight, though one commenter believes it comes only as a whole pie.
