Husband and wife Chris and Lindsay Lyons purchased the three-decade-old Deli Italia in 2018 and saw the potential to transform it from an Italian market to a full-service restaurant with an expansive menu that includes subs, appetizers, salads and a retooled version of pizza. In August 2022, the couple rebranded the eatery as Pizzeria Leopold, named for their son, who was born just after the restaurant reopened following the mandated pandemic shutdown of indoor dining in March 2020. Today the Lyonses pride themselves on running a truly mom-and-pop-style pizzeria where everything is made from scratch — something that comes through in every bite.
