AFAICT Ledo’s doesn’t deliver. However if you do find yourself near one and don’t want to eat-in, they’ll half-bake a pizza that you can finish at home.

Ledo’s is my favorite local pizza place here in suburban Chicago (and that does sound like their style of pizza), but [it’s not a chain, at all – it’s one family-owned place in the west suburbs](https://www.ledospizza.net). I’m now wondering if there’s another one out there with a similar name.

AFAICT they’re separate establishments. [The DC-area chain](https://ledopizza.com/) only exists within a 30-mile radius of DC proper.

Hah! I’m not the only one who was wondering. I know this local Ledo’s relatively well, too, mostly because of the Discount Tire next door (or practically next door), but, after my first visit, because of their pizza.

So there’s no Ledo’s close enough to my house to make a convenient trip, but there’s one relatively near work, so a few weeks ago I went out and got three large pizzas for the office.

I liked the pizza, but it wasn’t like the pizza I’m missing from the Midwest. It’s thin crust all right, but it’s not crunchy.

I liked it better than most of the pizza available around here but it’s not so good that I’m going to go out of my way to get it.
