We feel so lucky to have this amazing restaurant just a 3 minute walk down our road. With it's open air atmosphere and cool vibe, La Leyenda's specialty is wood-fired pizza made before your eyes in their beautiful pizza oven.
Tips:

Their Diavola pizza is even spicier than it looks on the menu. Delicious, but not for the faint of heart. 2 slices in and you'll be crying tears of culinary joy!
