Olá,
I am Gabriel Leonel, hailing from the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. My journey as a pizzaiolo began in 2017, and over the years, I have immersed myself in the world of pizza, investing countless hours in studying alongside some of the industry's finest pizzaiolos from around the globe. This journey has allowed me to grasp the intricacies of fermentation and the art of selecting premium ingredients to craft the ultimate pizza experience.
Leonel's Pizza
While Brazil is renowned for its feijoada and churrasco, we've taken the pizza business to a whole new level, infusing it with unique and unforgettable flavors.
​
Pizza, for us, has evolved beyond being just a dish; it has become a means of uniting friends and family, forging cherished memories. In 2020, some friends approached me to start selling pizzas, initially as a hobby. Today, our endeavor is recognized by nearly every Brazilian in Austin.
​
I am profoundly grateful to my clients who have opened their homes to me, allowing me to share the love and passion I have for pizza.
