Leonardo's Pizza - Peoria, IL
Next stop was Leonardo's. Whatever scale we finally come up with for rating pizza will have to show Leonardo's at the top. They have been my favorite pizza place for 9 years. I can't say enough about them so to avoid sounding like a commercial here are some factual details:
CRUST - Yumm. Oh, it has some parmesan in the dough mixture, gives it an odd but great texture. Never doughy.
SAUCE - Yea!there isn't any! Yup. Leonardo's puts tomatoes on TOP of the pizza instead of sauce under the toppings. Hence the toppings don't slide off and you don't get big bites of tomato sauce, which I don't like anyway.
TOPPINGS - They use FRESH mushrooms, NOT CANNED. (triple bonus points for this)
Like I said... Top of the Scale!
