I read what I believe was NY Times and they listed Lena’s as best voted zaaa for 2024. I had to try and was not disappointed!. Very chic’ place. Cozy and easy going (unless it’s opening time in the morning for fresh baked bagels (the line outside to get it!!)

Lena pizza is phenomenal! The best. It never disappoints. There is a reason they have been voted as some of the best pizza in the U.S., and even in the world!

So impressed we made 4 hour drive from coast the spent night. Absolute best pizza in the south. Passionate about her craft get the desert anyone of them....

We were excited to try Leña Pizza + Bagels after reading the NYT review. We live in the Bay Area and come to Mississippi about once a year to visit family. We were blown away! It’s more than phenomenal pizza. Marisol & her team are warm and welcoming and have created an authentic and inviting atmosphere where locals & visitors can come together to enjoy great food. We felt energy and community. Leña Pizza is a treasure. We’ll be back! 👏🏼

What sorcery is this? Seriously, if all food was this good the world would be a different place. Some of the best pizza you'll ever try, but what I really love are the homemade bagels they serve on Saturday mornings (until they run out). Grab a bagel and a coffee and step out Cleveland, Mississippi's cute downtown greenstrip (just across the street) to eat in the shade. In the spring and summer, you'll also be treated to music from the cute little farmers market that takes place every Saturday morning.

Please update your hours! I just drove an hour to be met with a closed establishment! I was really looking forward to some pizza and y’all are closed while Google says your open.

Amazing pizza in a great small town atmosphere. Price point may be a tiny bit high, but it's worth it either way. Highly recommend

A must try if you're ever in town or even driving by. A local person recommend this place and it did not disappoint. We were able to place our order as soon as we walked in on a Friday night. They had three available tables so we got lucky. If you are a bigger party seating may be an issue. The pizza came out quicker then I expected and was delicious. Easily sharable their smaller sized pizza was enough for each of us to get 3 pretty decent slices. Not your typical chain pizza taste which was good since we wanted to try a local place that was different. The service was exceptional, as soon as they saw we were finished a waitress came to clear our table so we can just have our drinks and take time to catch up. Did not feel rushed at all since their was not another party waiting to be seated. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Would definitely come back!

What a wonderful spot! We drove from the Jackson area, about 2.5 hours, and it was worth it. Despite the line, service was quick. Staff was friendly and you could tell we were in a small town because people were greeting each other by name. The menu is simple and everything we had was perfectly balanced and cooked. The dough is the star from the appetizer to the dessert. The sauce was clearly fresh and made in house. I think the Nutella calzone was my favorite. The warm dough and creamy Nutella contrasted perfectly with the fresh fruit.
I loved the place! Cool vibes, wood fired pizza 🍕 oven, and some amazing pizza. Definitely will return.

Do not miss out on this one, the food & service are excellent! We drove to Cleveland from Memphis just to eat here, we made it early Saturday in time for bagels, which were better than all the bagels I've had in NYC, truly wonderful. We came back at night for pizza, which was perfection, truly Neapolitan, few places I've had pizza in the south can touch this. I had their veggie special and my partner had pepperoni, we also had a delicious Italian Cab Franc to go with it, their wine list is small but mighty. They happen to have tiramisu on the menu, which we were lucky enough to get before it sold out, and it was amazing. On top of such incredible food, the service was impeccable, everyone was so friendly and super attentive! I will definitely make the drive again, it was absolutely worth it.

Fantastic meal….we had the arugula salad, pepperory pizza, a bottle of wine, and the pistachio ice cream for dessert. All were delicious and the whole staff was kind and welcoming. Got some of that morning’s bagels to go. Highly recommended!
