Ledo Pizza is rectangular in shape and is known for its very thin crust, often using the tagline "Ledo Pizza is square, because we don't cut corners."
While most of its restaurants do not offer delivery options, you can sit down and eat or carry out, differing from most pizza restaurants. When eating at the restaurant, customers are served by a waiter or waitress, rather than receiving the food over the counter. Also, Ledo offers many menu items, such as hamburgers, pasta, its own beer line (Ledo Lager), and more, in addition to specialty pizza types usually offered by pizza chains such as Pizza Hut or Papa John's.
They have been called by several names, including Ledo Pizza, and Ledo Pizza and Pasta.
The original location in Adelphi, MD, appears to now be called "Tommy Marcos' Ledo Restaurant." The Ledo Pizza System website does not list an Adelphi or College Park location in their restaurant finder.
