Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
4.4 stars across 25 reviews, an F health grade — those two numbers are not describing the same visit. Where the staff comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength.
Serving size shows up in 16% of reviews as well, averaging 5.0. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 21 of 25. 21 of 25 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 3 are two or lower.
Set against that, the state's own inspection graded the kitchen an F (54/100), with 2 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 14 basic violations recorded. Reviews describe the meal; the grade describes the conditions it was made in. That result dates from December 3, 2025. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. Ranked against Volusia County, it is safer than 2% of the restaurants we score. What the inspector actually wrote up: food from approved source.
The practical read: people enjoy eating here, and the kitchen still failed its last inspection. Those are separate claims, and only the second one gets checked by anybody. Full reviews follow below in the order they were left.

This used to be a great pizza place years ago, but has really gone downhill. Decided to give it a try once again, big mistake and never again! Amazed this place is still in business. Well worth a drive up to Flagler Beach for a pie or even a frozen pizza.
-
Great pizza! The staff were so nice for our big party! Provided dough for the kids to play with, which never ended! We demolished 3 large pizzas and more. Would def come here again!
-
Wow, so much to say here you have got to just go in yourself I will not do it justice. Food was amazing. atmosphere amazing. Sidney, Our server was out of this world. I just cannot believe that we were even able to get a place to sit and eat here it was so good. And yeah, where the food was excellent and I’m definitely getting me some more of that eggplant Stromboli It was really our table service again Sidnee, the main reason I’m going again and again.

First time here. We went for lunch. Ordered the slice of white pizza and antipasto. Both were amazingly delicious.
-
Always get Pizza from Lenny's while visiting Ormond Beach Florida area. We've been coming to this area for almost 20 years and they never disappoint.

It's lenny's beachide
-
Giving 5 stars simply because they have lasagna pizza, which was very good. Haven't had anything else yet.
-
So I ordered the Lasagna for takeaway, and there was just cheese inside no meat, I don't think that's normal so if you order the lasagna just know there's no meat in it.
-
This place reheats pizza that has been sitting out for like the whole day nasty and its getting people food poisoned when I order a pizza I expect a new fresh one not one that was sitting overnight
-
Excellent 👌
-
Wings were so overcooked they where damn near inedible.The mozzarella sticks were the worst overcooked cheese sticks ever ,the only good part of our food was the Garlic Knots ..Those were actually pretty damn good..So disappointing from a place with a 4.8 rating
-
Great Spaghetti, just like grandma's. The Meatballs were just right. Awesome place to eat.
-
Shit was pretty dank. Not gonna lie. Got three pies lastnight and a couple two liters. Got the meat pizza. The lasagna pizza and a cheese. Pretty dank my guys. Keep up the great work.
-
Great local spot with awesome food. Reasonable prices for the large portions they give you.
-
Some of the best pizza we have had in a long time! Prices are great...I suggest getting some garlic knots!
-
Very small typical pizza place. Lots of NY pictures hanging up. The food was amazing!! I had an eggplant stromboli. It even looked beautiful on the plate! Definitely will be back!
-
I recently dined at Lenny’s in Ormond.It was the most authentic pizza and Stromboli I’ve had since moving from N.Y 17 years ago.The atmosphere was welcoming and the service(Sidnee)was exceptional,friendly and treated us like family.The pizza man/owner David couldn’t of been more friendly and welcoming to my wife and myself.They will have my business from this day on.Don’t take my word go and try it for yourself…
-
Huge portions , great prices. Friendly staff, can see the ocean from the window tables
-
Fantastic pizza!!! They delivered quickly and it was so good!!! Garlic knots and meatballs were spot on too! Will definitely get again!
-
Fantastic NY style pizza! Go for the za, not the atmosphere…
-
Great place to come alone or with friends and family. The pizza is most definitely NY style and the garlic knots are divine. They also have awesome Greek salad and gluten free pizza.
-
Quite literally the BEST NY PIZZA in Florida. Yes this is my opinion but I'm very picky when it comes to pizza and I have tried pizza from here to Canada. Only place that compares to Lenny's is actual pizza in NY. Thanks Lenny's for some delicious pizza and excellent service! Keep up the good work!
-
Great pizza. I wait until I can get over here from Orlando to eat pizza. Best pizza in North central Florida. Place needs some updating but I'm good, pizza is amazing.
-
First time customer. I ordered a hot ham and cheese sub for pickup. It was made exactly how I ordered, ready when I arrived, AND it was tasty! 😁I met the new owner and his staff. Everyone welcoming and friendly. great food, good vibes and I'll definitely be a repeat customer. .
