Leo Grill & Pizza

Leo Grill & Pizza is a restaurant on Moskovskaya Ulitsa in Pushkin, St Petersburg, focused on food cooked over fire. Its open kitchen places the cooking process at the centre of the dining room, with a grill station combining charcoal grilling, an Argentine-style grill and hot smoking. The result is a menu built around steaks, grilled meat, kebabs, burgers, fish and smoked produce.

Pizza is the restaurant’s other main focus. Traditional Neapolitan-style pizzas are prepared in a wood-fired Italian oven positioned near the entrance, adding a visible element to the room and a warm, informal feel. The menu includes familiar Italian combinations as well as more individual toppings involving beef, lamb kebab, fish, vegetables and cured meats. A thinner pizza style is also available, giving diners a lighter alternative to the fuller Neapolitan base.

The grill menu covers pork, beef, chicken and fish, with accompaniments such as grilled aubergine, roasted potatoes, vegetable mixes and smoked vegetables. The in-house smoking approach extends beyond fish to include other ingredients, while burgers provide a more casual option. Salads, side dishes and sauces make it possible to build either a substantial meal or a simpler lunch.

The cooking style gives Leo Grill & Pizza a relaxed, contemporary character rather than the feel of a formal Italian dining room. The open kitchen, visible oven and fire-based menu create a setting suited to diners who enjoy watching food being prepared and sharing dishes across the table. Pizza and burgers work well for informal meals, while steaks, grilled fish and the banquet facilities provide options for longer gatherings.

Families are catered for with a dedicated children’s menu, and the broad choice of pizza, grilled vegetables, fish and meat makes the restaurant workable for mixed groups. Vegetarian diners can choose from meat-free pizzas, vegetable sides and salads, although the menu’s central emphasis remains open-fire cooking and animal-protein dishes. The restaurant also accepts organised tourist groups and has a banquet hall for group occasions.

Leo Grill & Pizza suits visitors exploring Pushkin who want a substantial meal in a lively restaurant with an active kitchen. It is particularly appropriate for groups with different tastes, diners looking for grilled food, and pizza fans seeking a wood-fired style alongside a wider menu.
