Pizzeria IL Leone in Lindau (Bodensee)

Very very good pizzeria. 🍕 Beautiful location with attentive staff. Price-performance is totally appropriate. We received our pizza very quickly, even though the restaurant was completely full. Can only be recommended!

Super tasty, can be recommended 100%

Very good pizzeria, service is very attentive and friendly. Pizza is very good both in terms of price and taste. Only the salad 🥗 was a bit neutral and unfortunately without bread. Otherwise everything is well and comfortably furnished.

There are very good pizzas here, the service is very attentive and friendly and the price is right too, gladly again

According to self-promotion it's the best pizza in Lindau, but that's not true for me! It was the best pizza in a long time! Thanks. The service was also very friendly and welcoming. It's a shame you're so far away.

I would like to share my experience at this restaurant, which unfortunately was very disappointing. When we arrived at 1:30 p.m. we were already greeted at the entrance with the question "What do you want here?" stopped. We said we wanted pizza, but the answer was simply "No, we only have pasta." This was particularly frustrating because we were traveling with two small children and were looking forward to a delicious pizza. The entire situation was very unfriendly and made us feel unwelcome. Me and my children were very disappointed with this experience and therefore cannot recommend the restaurant. In addition, in many restaurants on Lindau Island, card payments are not possible in restaurants. In times of digitalization, this is an impudence and suggests that you are being ripped off (tax?).

We were sent back and forth and in the end we had to sit at the counter because there wasn't enough space. Pizza was good in terms of taste, you have to give it to them, just an absolute cheek for an extra plate of €1.50, which is actually completely normal when two people share a pizza. I felt pretty uncomfortable and wanted to leave as quickly as possible. It was also noticed that other guests also felt very uncomfortable.

The food was quite ok, although it was very nice there. I can recommend it, but it's not a big deal at the moment, it can also be done elsewhere

Very nice service. The pizza tastes excellent. As soon as we ordered the pizza arrived within 10 minutes. The ambience invites you to linger.

The two of us had pizza. The food and service were great. Plus Italian pop music (most of it from the 80s). We really liked it.

As the Italian says, “meraviglioso” is simply wonderful! A magical, cozy little pizzeria with really the best pizza in Lindau, if not in the Lake Constance area! Even though it can be a little more crowded during rush hour in the evening, it's worth waiting at the bar and you eat right there 👍🏾 A must have in Lindau

Tk pizza base. You have to eat quickly, the cooler the pizza gets, the slipperier the base becomes. €17.90 for a terrible pizza. The next table had ordered a tiramisu and it was also a ready-made product. It was nothing for us, never again.

I like this pizzeria. In summer Sit outside the restaurant. On these simple chairs. Table slightly slanted because of the cobblestones. Has Italian flair.

Unfortunately, the landlady is not very child-friendly and overall very direct. Not everyone can handle that. Unfortunately not the right place to eat with children. Our son “clattered” with his building blocks. We were then rudely told that the landlady could no longer hear this and that he should look at books instead. We were pretty horrified. We usually like to go to Italian restaurants with the children, as they are otherwise very friendly to the children and it's no problem if things get a bit busier. We also noticed how a couple wanted to sit down at a “big” table. The instructions then came pretty straight away that this was a table for 5-6 people and only the small tables were for 2 people. The large table then simply remained empty. We paid just under €38 for 2 pizzas and 2x 0.4 l drinks.

A wonderful restaurant with a very warm landlady. Finally no island gastro rip-off! Fair prices and really great food.

Very tasty and friendly, I spontaneously got a great pizza late in the evening! Great ambience and reasonable prices.

Unfreundlicher Empfang und nicht wie auf der WEB-Seite gezeigte warme Speisen (es gab ausschließlich Pizza). Wir sind wieder gegangen, können also die Qualität des Essens nicht beurteilen.

Very tasty pizza🍕, definitely highly recommended 👍👌

A nice, well-kept, clean and cozy restaurant. Delicious pizza, tasty/fresh salad and good ambience. Service was also good and friendly. Very tasty tiramisu - definitely try it!

Unfortunately it is not recommended! Ambience is nice, the pizza doesn't have a crispy base, but that's definitely a matter of taste. I'm almost at a loss for words about the service. We were eating here and sat outside, a single woman sat down at the empty table next to the two-person table. But she was told that the table was reserved and she should sit down in the restaurant, which she did. It's not pleasant next to the stove in summer. After about 10 minutes, a single person sat down at the table again and it was said again that the table was reserved. A table was set up for her a little ways away where she sat down. A minute later a couple asked the manager if the table was free. And then suddenly he wasn't reserved anymore. When I asked why people were being turned away, she simply said "she has to earn money to get through the quiet winter." That's all I can say. They definitely won't survive the winter like this!

The food tastes very good, it's the best pizza I've eaten, I felt like I was in Italy for a moment and the service is also great. I can only recommend it

PIZZA FRIENDS, unfortunately you will be disappointed. This is just a lousy customer catcher. Anyone who knows Italian pizza is in the wrong place here. Service, well, which one is more of a question. Of course, forcing customers to do something is also a measure. Once and never again. In terms of price, it's also a terrible rip-off. 50€ for 2 pizzas and 2 drinks plus 1 salad is really steep

The staff is very rude. They treat customers badly and don't do their job well. The cook is dedicated to annoying the customers and being rude to them. This restaurant needs a change of staff. The waiter who served the tables was correct, but the cook and the person who claimed to be the owner were terrible. If you ask for an empty plate to share the food, they charge you 2 euros. We ordered 4 pizzas for 5 people, we ordered plates to share the pizzas and it turns out that they charge 2 euros per plate. A nonsense.

Very tasty, homemade pizzas and very nice service. There were five of us and we all got the pizzas at the same time. Nice ambience. We'd love to come back.

The pizza is really delicious 😋. I had one with goat cheese, dill and honey...I was really impressed. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is cozy. We really didn't expect something so great in such a small side street. Will definitely come back

Shop advertises "best pizza" in the pedestrian zone🍕 and yes, I can confirm that, large pizza with fresh food. The only drawback is that no card payment is possible. Otherwise recommended 👍👍

Tasty pizza. Friendly service. What more could you want?

We each ordered over €10 for starters and got more or less good bruschetta on soggy Aldi baked rolls. Given the price, I expect clearly, clearly: SIGNIFICANTLY, more. Really disappointing. The pizza was quite good to very good. We became aware of the shop through a display saying "90% of our customers think we have the best pizza in Lindau". Pizza may be, but the rating on Google is still dubious. If you want to stop by, treat yourself to a good pizza but skip the bruschetta.

Very good service, dogs are welcome here.

Pizza 🍕 is really very good....

During our school trip we came across the Pizzeria il Leone. We arrived hungry with eight friends and were immediately warmly welcomed. The shop is small but very cozy and clean, perfect for a relaxed meal. The pizza was absolutely delicious, especially the Margherita and the salami. The dough was nice and crispy and the ingredients were fresh. The prices were fair and the portions were generous. We were particularly impressed by the friendly service. The staff was attentive and managed to serve us quickly and in a friendly manner. Overall, the Pizzeria il Leone was an unexpected highlight of our school trip. If you're looking for good pizza in a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place for you!

Very tasty pizzas and friendly service. We can only recommend it.

Good service, great atmosphere... mediocre to bad pizzas (parmesan powder and soggy bruschetta)

Please avoid this place at all cost. Very rude the blond old waiter staff and insulted my mother with „favanculo“ not a way to talk to anyone. This is unacceptable and I would go to the police next time. This woman has to be fired and send back to Italy .

Top quality pizzas. We were attracted by aroma, and were not disappointed. Thin crust and use of High quality ham and cheese. Can recommend.

We had dinner for 5 people. They sat us next to the oven and the heat was unbearable. We asked the cook if we could bring a fan closer to the table and he told us, very rudely, no. We told him that we were going to move to the terrace since it was unbearably hot. Since the space was very limited, we moved an umbrella about 5 centimeters to be able to place one more chair next to the table. The cook came out from the kitchen and told us that the umbrella could not be moved. When the owner saw the situation she told us that this was Germany. When we placed the order, 3 pizzas and a salad, we asked them for some plates to share and it turns out that each empty plate cost 2 euros for what they said was for water and electricity costs. Go cheapskates/rats!

The pizza was quite acceptable and the ambience in the small alley conveyed a pleasant holiday feeling. Unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed focused on refilling tables as quickly as possible. The behavior of the waitress was particularly unpleasant, as she was very cheeky towards all the guests. A family who came after us was told that they were only allowed to stay if the children also ordered individual dishes. To make matters worse, the waitress became abusive when the tip didn't meet her expectations.

Good pizza. We took pizza here twice. Was always ready quickly and of good quality. The prices are okay.

Es war alles soweit in Ordnung. Die Pizza war okay, doch leider befand sich in einer Pizza eine Fliege. Das kann vorkommen, aber die Kellnerin hatte uns mehrfach Begründungen geliefert, warum das nicht sein kann und wir doch mal „ DENKEN“ sollen. Zumindest gab es einen Espresso aufs Haus.

Cozy restaurant, nice service, but the food is too expensive for the quality. No real parmesan on the pizza and 5 shrimps (not fresh and not digestible) on the shrimp pizza

Every time I go to eat in this pizza restaurant I am very satisfied, the pizza is delicious, the environment is serene and the location is excellent... the owner is very kind and the guys who work there are always friendly and kind, highly recommended

Wonderful pizza with great ambience and good service.

Very cute little shop. Super nice staff and fast service. Only recommended 😁

In this restaurant I had a pizza frutti di mare, but unfortunately it was in the oven for too long and half burnt. The dough is brown and hard on the outside like a biscuit, partly black at the bottom and lightly coated on top. A few small mussels, 2 pieces of squid and everything swam very oily. Absolutely no masterpiece and when we removed the 3/4 pizza we didn't even ask what was going on, that says it all. No recommendation.

Very friendly and cozy, always again🥰🥰

Great pizza place! 1a recommendation for everyone who likes real Italian pizza. The dough is made with Tipo 00 flour, as it should be. Hand-processed, freshly topped. No frills, just really, really good pizza. When you're there, definitely try the bruschetta, it's worth it The staff is very friendly and the food was ready very quickly. The European Championship games are currently also being shown!

Great food, quick service. We will be back

Great food, great pizza and cheap, service very friendly and good atmosphere

Fantastic pizza. It's been a long time since I've had such good pizza. The creativity of the various pizzas is also particularly noteworthy. Lots of variations that I haven't seen in any other pizzeria. Very friendly and fast service.

Pizza came very quickly and was super tasty. Very nice atmosphere. Service to us was good. It was a bit irritating that new guests who politely asked for drinks at the counter were asked out/chased out in a relatively rude and unprofessional manner (because it was the wrong time or something).

The pizza tastes very tasty. We recommend.

The salad was half broken and old. The pizza was not the best as advertised, but rather standard. The lemon in the drink was also saved.

Very unfriendly, unfortunately there is nothing more to say.

Stupid, rude restaurant rule: 1. You have to pay €2 for each extra plate 2. You are not allowed to order 1 pizza for 2 people, otherwise they wanted to charge us 1 bruschetta (1 bruschetta approx. 10€ -> almost the same as 1 new pizza). Nonsense!

We wanted to eat. We didn't have much of an appetite. And so we ordered one pizza and two wines. We were told that we couldn’t order one pizza for two! You must to order another bruschetta (for 9€). Shame...

Were there at a quarter to twelve on Whitsunday. Three of the service staff (a woman and two men) sit at the tables in front of the door and smoke. We've just been told that we don't start until twelve o'clock. We are the first guests to sit down and quickly go to the toilet. Going back and looking at the map shows on page one that only cash is accepted. We have no cash and leave the restaurant. The woman asks if we just wanted to use the toilet, but we say we just don't have any cash with us. This is followed by the unfriendly hint that there is a bank up there. We just think to ourselves, I'll probably never be here again. Gastronomy is all about food, service and ambience. From our point of view, this shop failed in at least two situations, because we are now in Engel for food. They are friendly and we pay with the card as if it were 2024.

Disappointing, unfriendly service, pizza below average

Bei einem Spaziergang hier vorbei gekommen. Am nächsten Tag sind wir direkt dort essen gewesen. Und was soll ich sagen? Richtig gut! Tolles Essen, tolles Ambiente, super liebe Bedienung und unser Hund hat sogar eine Knabberstange bekommen. Wenn wir nochmal nach Lindau kommen, gehen wir gerne wieder hier hin.

What seemed to be the owner of the establishment, quite rude, spoke badly to several customers we had nearby and when we asked her not to explain the bill, she did so in a bad way and somewhat aggressively. We tried pizza and salad, they were correct. Ah! If you ask for an empty plate to share something, they charge you 2 euros per plate..... (empty), anyway, I won't go back.

Schlechtester Service, den ich je erlebt habe. Unverschämte Bedienung, die die Gäste anschreit und sich weigert, Kindern einen Platz im Lokal anzubieten. Von diesem Lokal ist absolut abzuraten!

Unfriendly staff, ordered pizza caprese and didn’t even had mozzarella on it.

Attentive service and good ambience. The pizzas on offer are OK, but the price-performance ratio doesn't suit me. I don't think €1.5 for an unheated additional plate when sharing food is okay.

Good Food and Even better Service

Very good pizza, nice restaurant, with a bar and lots of drinks

Very friendly staff and good food + drinks at a good price!

We were totally thrilled! The blonde lady who served us was so incredibly friendly and nice! It was great to have a conversation. The other waitresses also looked after us very well. Ambience was a dream! Incredibly beautiful little street with Italian charm. Pizzas were fantastic and on point. The pizza was prepared exactly how I wanted it. Homemade tiramisu was equally sensational. Any time ! It was incredibly good 😌 Very best regards Stefie and Luke

Very very very nice staff, very tasty and high quality food, a cozy restaurant where you don't have to wait long. You will always receive a friendly welcome. Always my pleasure. Keep it up dear team

Pizza inedible, the dough was obviously made from a frozen semi-finished product. Service staff rude. There's nothing on the menu from Italian cuisine except bad pizza.

Bedienung unhöflich, unsere Pizza war aus gefrorenem Teig und nicht durchgebacken. Unser italienischer Freund hat die Pizza reklamiert und er wurde von der Serviertöchter beschimpft. Das Restaurant ist definitiv nicht empfehlenswert.

Easy and good. Simply good! Great pizzas, cozy atmosphere and friendly service

Disappointing experience. Pizza tasted frozen and dry. Not recommended.

Nice service, but we didn't like the pizza and it wasn't through... No card payment possible 🤦🏻‍♀️- a no-go! Unfortunately we will never come back...

Delicious food, very friendly service, nice atmosphere, actually there would be more stars if there wasn't an absolute no-go - no card payment possible - and that in the 21st century, where I can pay for my butter pretzels with a card in every village bakery and that in Lindau on Lake Constance - doesn't work at all. I found out about it by chance because it was on my wife's menu (not mine!!) But otherwise really recommended

We were very surprised, the staff is so child-friendly, something I haven't experienced in recent years. The food was great, the taste and the quantity was great, it was like that back then. Well, our daughter wanted to come back today, but nothing happened. The internet says from 5 p.m., nothing happened. Closed, no opening times sign, no information about whether or not. Very bad for a city like this

The pizza was very good on both visits. The staff makes every effort to satisfy the needs of the guests. We'd love to go there again.

!!!! NEVER AGAIN !!!! Just walk by! As many other users have already written: - Totally RUDE, food doesn't taste good at all with such unfriendly service - Children not welcome at all, boss not courteous - Wrong food is brought, instead of apologizing the wrong food is aggressively slapped on the table again, only after explaining the situation does the correct order finally come without an apology after such behavior And now comes the kicker: Since the cash register machine wasn't working, only a handwritten receipt could be issued, it was only when we were outside that we realized that we had been overcharged for the food than it was on the menu (9.8 instead of 10.8, etc.) , that adds up and doesn't give a nice feeling of completion. It's a total shame about the store, but you wouldn't want to eat here under these circumstances! 1 star

Very good pizza, highly recommended

Super delicious, there wasn't a crumb left and the tiramisu was a poem.

The pizza is really excellent! A visit here is definitely worth it 👍

Delicious pizza. Highly recommended.

Pizza isn't bad. Service very unfriendly.

Very comfortable when it's cold outside and nice to sit outside in summer. Very good service, good wine, delicious pizza and salads

Cute little pizzeria, nice atmosphere and very tasty pizza ended up here by chance. The only main course in the restaurant is pizza, but this is really great

Das Essen war schnell zubereitet & es war auch lecker. Zudem fanden wir die Bedienung freundlich, aufgestellt & Kontakt freudig. Die Einrichtung ist modern gestaltet jedoch gab es keinen Kleiderständer (für Jacken & Mäntel). Aber wir kommen gerne wieder.

the best pizza I've eaten. I found this restaurant on a spontaneous vacation. Service was very nice. The food was really tasty. I felt really comfortable and safe. I'll definitely be back.

Durch Zufall haben wir dieses tolle Restaurant bei unserem Besuch von Lindau entdeckt. Mit Abstand die leckerste und außergewöhnlichste Pizza, die ich seit langem gegessen habe. Die supernette Chefin hat uns jedes Mal sehr herzlich empfangen und wunderbar bewirtet. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Liebe Grüße aus Stuttgart

Meiner Ansicht nach wirklich die beste Pizza auf der Insel, auch das hausgemachte Tiramisu war super lecker! Sehr nette Chefin und ein schneller, toller Service. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder und kann das Il Leone nur wärmstens jedem empfehlen der auf der Insel ist.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

süß, essen lecker und hübsch, geht soo schnell, richtig gemütlich hier

Noch nie so eine Unfreundlichkeit gesehen!

Sehr gute Pizza, sehr nette Betreiber, super nettes Lokal. "Wärmstens" zu empfehlen, wenn man nach Lindau kommt!

" Die beste Pizza auf der Insel ", kann ich so nicht sagen, ich kenne die anderen nicht. Einer der besten Pizzen, die ich je gegessen hab, ja.....absolut. Boden - top, Belag super, Preis-Leistung wie es sein soll. Und selbst im Vollbetrieb habe ich noch nen Platz bekommen, wo andere Restaurants abgewiesen haben.

Ein süßes kleines Lokal mit toller Pizza, sehr nettem Personal und einer super netten Chefin! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!! Danke für die zwei netten Abende!

Super leckere Pizza! Krosser Boden, hochwertiger Belag und passende Weinempfehlung.

*** KEINE STEINOFENPIZZA *** ***UNFREUNDLICH GEGENÜBER KINDERN*** Wenn man es "Freundlichkeit" nennen will, so wirkte diese eher aufgesetzt. Es ist nicht so schön wenn man sich als Gast eher als lästig empfindet. Die Kinder wurden mit einem "schhh" zur Ruhe gewiesen. Dabei waren die zwei Kids wirklich nicht laut. Die Pizzen waren nicht gut. KEINE STEINOFENPIZZA - wie angegeben! Die zwei Kinder essen sonst jeder eine ganze Pizza und aßen hier nur zwei kleine Pizzaecken. Bei der Abrechnung wurde einfach mal zuviel berechnet. Da fühlt man sich auf ganzer Ebene abgezockt.

Ob es Absicht war oder nicht, aber es wurde uns deutlich zuviel berechnet. Wir haben es zwar zurück bekommen, aber nur weil wir auf eine Detailauflistung bestanden haben und mussten es selbst zusammenrechnen (kein Beleg, händisch aufgeschrieben). Pizza war eher mittelmäßig, Ambiente jedoch ansprechend. Standard Pizzaelektroofen wird als ein Steinofen verkauft.

Bleicher Teig. Unfreundlich. Und sehr hasst erfüllt gegenüber Kindern. Lasst euch nicht von den Fake Rezension täuschen.

Sehr gute Pizza! Top Bedienung! Herzlichen Dank! Wir kommen wieder! 👍

Nette kleine Pizzeria, die auch die ein oder andere besondere Kreation auf der Karte hat und sich damit vom 08/15 Italiener abhebt. Waren zweimal ohne Tischreservierung da und hatten Glück mit dem Platz. Aber besser reservieren da es wirklich nicht so viele Plätze gibt. Im Sommer gibt es draußen ein paar kleine Tische, die in der kleinen Seitengasse echt super passen. Wir haben uns als Einheimische wie im Urlaub in Italien gefühlt.

Die Pizzeria bietet die beste Pizza, die ich je gegessen habe. Der Teig ist außergewöhnlich luftig und der Käse ist wirklich besonders. Auch die Bruschetta ist ein absolutes Muss – einfach genial!

Pizza is amazing. Truly authentic and flavorful.
