Ledo Pizza is among the most popular pizzeria franchises on the East Coast. Its claim to fame is the distinctive rectangular shape of its pizzas, a holdover from the 1950s were it was more common to acquire rectangular baking pans.
The chain has remained true to its roots; its unique shape and flavor has attracted the attention of athletes and journalists.

Review
Many of the restaurants boast of a chic modern aesthetic, nothing too flashy. What really makes this chain stand out, however, is its pizzas.
Its flavorful thin crust pizzas, along with their distinctive and popular thick-cut pepperoni and sweet-savory sauce, had made the restaurant chain a popular destination. Besides their unique shape, the thin-crust pizzas are also very large and can easily feed a hungry group. Many guests also appreciate its gluten-free options and assortment of craft toppings.
A few other popular items on the menu include salads and appetizers. Its Jumbo Wings were voted Best Wings in D.C. by Washington City Paper. Some places even offer crab cakes, a signature Maryland dish.
One of the major drawbacks of Ledo Pizza, however is that many of its franchises do not deliver, with the most common available options being dine-in and take-out. Dining in, however, is well worth it.
