“Ledos is our favorite pizza spot. We moved from Maryland 12 years ago and stop in whenever we look for reasons to head up north to go to Ledos. My son has never forgiven me for moving him away from Ledos, so I try to get him to the Damascus Ledos for his birthday. It's home for us“

“Had a fantastic meal here tonight. Stellar service by Faith. The food was fantastic. Incredible wine list. The GM was present and engaging with the patrons. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back.“

“I am from Baltimore and while working in Germantown I wanted something to eat other than fast food. I went into Paisano's around 530pm and was greeted so nicely by a young woman. I did not want a sub because Montgomery Co normally you get a steak um and that is what I am used too. I ordered the chicken Parmigian with pasta. Wow the sauce was amazing, pasta was perfect, the breaded chicken was covered in cheese. The garlic bread was so good. Great price, large portion that I could not finish. I told the girl behind counter that the food was awesome and it made this fatboy happy. I am 6'4 & 280lbs and I wanted to hug everyone but I did not want to scare anyone. Thank you!“

“I had such a great experience thanks to our bartender, Carlos! He was attentive, welcoming, and really knows how to make you feel at home. The drinks were spot on, crafted with care and exactly to taste. You can tell he takes pride in what he does and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves. Truly one of the best bartenders I’ve come across!“

“During a recent visit to Tony Pazzo in Mount Airy, Maryland, we had a fantastic dining experience that combined delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent service. With the playoff games playing at the bar, the restaurant had a lively, energetic vibe. Our high-top table in the dining room, close to the bar, offered a perfect blend of ambiance and comfort. We started with two standout appetizers: the baked figs, which were sweet, warm, and perfectly balanced, and the crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms, which were rich, savory, and cooked to perfection. As a side, we also ordered the Focaccia with Dipping Oil—toasted focaccia served with Pazzo’s seasoned dipping oil. This was excellent, with the bread toasted perfectly and the dipping oil adding a burst of flavor. For our entrées, we tried the Bruschetta Salmon, which was herb-marinated and topped with fresh heirloom tomatoes, basil, and Parmesan cheese. It was fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. We also enjoyed the Wild Mushroom Ravioli, served over a vermouth and mushroom tarragon Parmesan cream sauce. The dish was rich and creamy, with a deep, earthy flavor. While the hint of vermouth might not be for everyone, we found it to be a unique and enjoyable. The Bolognese with in-house, freshly made pasta was hearty and satisfying. The Margherita pizza was simple and fine, a classic choice for those who prefer familiar flavors. We initially ordered the Caesar salad but were brought the house salad instead. We decided to keep it, and while it was fresh and crisp, the abundance of red onions wasn’t quite to my taste, though it was easy enough to adjust. We ended the meal with tiramisu, which was creamy, light, and a perfect sweet finale. The espresso martinis were expertly made and paired beautifully with dessert. The service from Jan and Marissa was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout the evening. We also met Tony who was very friendly. We also explored the upstairs dining space, which is a charming area ideal for hosting private events. Tony Pazzo offers a great mix of authentic Italian-inspired cuisine, a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere, and outstanding service. Whether you’re catching a game, enjoying a casual dinner, or planning an event, this restaurant is a must-visit in Mount Airy.“

“Food and service were both excellent.
Great atmosphere. Cute restaurant.
Veal saltimbuca and veal piccata each with capellini. Portions just right.
House red wine( Chianti) for me and house white (Pinot Grigio) for my wife were very good.“

“I had the hot pastrami sub today , it was delicious and came out very fast“

“I have been going to Mamma Lucias for almost 8 years now and their food never disappoints.

About 2 years ago, the olney Mamma Lucias had a interior redesign and I have to say it is absolutely beautiful. The only issue is that when they did the redesign they removed the curtains that had framed the inner square dining area. By doing this, they removed the one thing that absorbed sound and made it a little quieter. But now that it’s gone, it is hard to hear the person sitting next to me and its just overall louder than it was before. I really think they should add the curtains back or find another solution.“

“One of the best Italian meals I have had outside of Italy! All dishes-appetizers, entrees and desserts were excellent. Will be back often!“

“We have had a great experience with service and food there!“

“It was a carry out. It started off a little challenging when I tried using the Yelp app along with the text coupon for a free dessert, then on J&P’s website trying to order on line without much success. However, I then decided to order the old fashion way and talk to a person and not a robot. Service was timed perfectly and the food & dessert was absolutely delish! Of course my wife and I was starving, but nevertheless we enjoyed it all…mummmm!“

“Our knitting group goes here for lunch at least once a month. Everyone enjoys the food and the atmosphere. Service is great too (shout out to Stacey).“

“The service and food at this Ledo's has always been great. We have been ordering from there since the location opened. The staff has always been friendly and the food has always been hot and delicious. The few times we have dined in there we have enjoyed good friendly service. Plenty of free parking. Highly recommend it.“

“Ledo is always tasty, but what would have been better is more attentive staff that were not looking at their phones. Food was ok but far from the best in the area. And don't go there looking for atmosphere there is none, unless you find it quaint that the owners kid is running around the place.“

“Pasquale’s delivery is a game changer!! They are always quick, even on Friday night and the food is delicious!“

“Clarksburg has Manhattan Pizza which has great pizza and much more. Both the Reuben and the Islander were super delicious. Onion Rings were great. Lays Chips were flat in taste. A bust. The Tiramisu made us very happy, easily one of the best. We will see you again soon.“

“We had 7 adults and 2 babies and our waiter was very patient with everything. We were there with family and were seated in the separate room so we were able to talk freely from one end of the table to another. Several of us had pasta, a couple had pizza and they serve breakfast all day so that was brilliant! Everyone enjoyed their food and our waiter Colby was very attentive. Thank You for accommodating us so well.“

“My favorite are their Calzones, I got cheese. I bought that twice on different occasions in April and June. Oh and a ceasar salad with chicken. Last week I ordered a large cheese pizza for $8.99 with a Pepsi and it was so good. Tonight I bought spaghetti, a side salad, three drinks and it was such great spaghetti. I was extremely pleased. Definitely grateful and completely satisfied ordering my meat sauce spaghetti. My next dishes to try are the chicken piccata, chicken marsala and veggie calzone. Oh and the cheesecake and cannoli.... I think you should produce Gelato too! Different flavors! Delicioso! Very happy customer. Thank you for such great food and service.“

“Ledo, a venerable fixture in the Maryland pizza scene for decades, known for their square pie crust pizza. The Olney Maryland location is no exception. Serving consistent quality pizza and they don't cut corners. Recently expanded their menu to include a chicken sandwich. Something I have yet to try. Their pizza though, has the same greatness as it always been. Bringing back memories of college and late night parties.“

“Had some delicious pizza this evening. Always love me some Ledo, but tonight you killed it with amazing sauce to cheese ratio! Staff behind the counter was friendly and engaging. Great job, Mt Airy Ledo!“

“Always enjoy Ledo’s! My favorite for many, many years?“

“Pizza Boli’s is one of my absolute favorites! Their food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. It’s great to know that everything they serve is halal — a big plus for our family.

Their pizzas are loaded with toppings and cheese, the pastas are rich and comforting, and the burgers are juicy and delicious. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The staff is friendly and the service is always quick. I recommend ordering directly from Pizza Boli's since you get points and the delivery time is the same as Uber or DoorDash. Please Note: This is not a sit down spot, only delivery!

Highly recommend Pizza Boli’s to anyone looking for great halal comfort food! 🍕🍝🍔“

“This is my first time ordering from Ledo Pizza in Germantown and I can definitely say that it will not be my last. I ordered for a group lunch today and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Everyone enjoyed the pizza and wings! I will be back to try a gluten-free pizza.“

“I got a steak and cheese with fries from their specials as well as western fries. Both items were really great and fresh. The other best part is that this pizza place is halal.
Even though there a couple of tables for dining in, it is a small place and meant mostly for take out and delivery.“
