The nearest place to Saint Leo is a local family-friendly restaurant called Al’s Famous Pizza. It is located at the corner of SR-52 and Curley Street, about five minutes away from campus.

Open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Al’s Famous Pizza is a great place to celebrate National Pizza Month.
The second nearest place is Domino’s Pizza. One of the most well-known brands worldwide, Domino’s is now close to Saint Leo and is located on State Road 52. Domino’s pizza menu consists of sandwiches, pasta, desserts, wings, drinks, and a great variety of choices for pizza.

Celebrate this National Pizza month in a new and delicious place like ABC Pizza, which is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. all week.
Finally, when ordering for takeout, make sure to include the necessary details for your delivery. Since delivery persons cannot access your dorm, you have to let them know you live on campus. Be specific in the comment section of any pizza app or through a phone call. Give the delivery person instructions and set up a place where you can meet them without any problem. Also, make sure you tell them the name of your dorm and the street address closest to you. Lastly, provide your phone number to locate you easily, and enjoy your pizza this October.
