‘Gulfcoasting’ at the brand‑new Leoni’s Pizzeria & Bar in Fort Myers
FORT MYERS, Fla. —
Jason Drew went “Gulfcoasting” at the newest addition to Southwest Florida’s dining scene — the brand‑new Leoni’s Pizzeria & Bar, which officially opened its doors on May 29. This marks a major milestone for the Leoni’s brand: its first‑ever full‑service dining room and bar, and its fifth location overall.
This flagship restaurant brings a whole new experience to a local favorite known for its New England‑style pizza and crispy, authentic Philly cheesesteaks. Now, guests can enjoy those classics alongside fresh pasta dishes, salads, small bites for Happy Hour, and a full bar pouring cocktails late into the night — all the way until 1:30 a.m.
Owner Christo Venetis shared with Jason how this new chapter was decades in the making. His father’s original San Carlos location laid the foundation more than 30 years ago, building a loyal following and a reputation for quality that helped pave the way for this flagship expansion.
Inside the new space, guests will find a spacious dining room, plenty of TVs for game‑day viewing, and a lively bar atmosphere that makes Leoni’s a go‑to spot for dinner, drinks, or late‑night bites. Whether you’re craving a classic slice, a hearty cheesesteak, or something new from the expanded menu, the flagship location brings a fresh energy to a beloved local brand.
With great food, a full bar, and hours that keep the night going, Jason’s ‘Gulfcoasting’ visit shows why the new Leoni’s Pizzeria & Bar is already becoming a standout destination in Southwest Florida.
