Portland Food Heads has published a review of Leonardo’s Pizza.
The crust is consistently crispy, the cheese is delicious and the sausage always has great flavor. The only element that doesn’t quite sit well with me is their tomato sauce.

According to an article in today’s Press Herald, a group of 22 current and former employees at Harding Lee Smith restaurants have written a letter in his defense. See the article for the full text of the letter.
Bob Murphy, a bartender at The Front Room, said he came up with the idea for the letter in support of Smith because he wanted the public to know that he and other employees feel Smith has treated them fairly.
