Date Visited: 19 September 2008Meal: Dinner
Diners: 3 - Me, Wendy, & Alicia
Experience: On the one hand, Vocelli's is just another pizza franchise, but on the other hand, it's one of the good ones in Leesburg. After yet another all-day LCHS marching band competition, we were ready for a simple pizza dinner.
On this particular visit, we got our favorite "Deluxe" Gourmet Pizza (pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, red onions, black olives, and spicy Italian sausage). Wendy also got the Steak Panini (seasoned steak, mozzarella cheese, red onions, green peppers, mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and Italian dressing), which for some unknown reason was not shared with me this time. Alicia got the Vocelli Chicken Caesar salad (fresh mixed greens, tender chicken breast, imported Pecorino cheese, and traditional Caesar salad dressing), but without the chicken!
It was all good, and I'm sure we'll be back. However, now that Domino's has sub sandwiches in addition to the basic pizza menu, Vocelli's will be getting some competition.
History: The location where Vocelli's is today used to be a Little Caesar's when we moved to Leesburg in 1987. Some years later they closed most of their locations in Northern Virginia; the closest one is now in Martinsburg, West Virginia! The store was empty for quite a while, then another non-descript pizza place opened up there, called Pizza Time, or something like that. They lasted only a year or so, then Vocelli's took over and has been doing fine.
UPDATED, 8 December 2008: A comment by Anonymous confirmed that the old name was Pizza Outlet, and that it is in fact the same company as Vocelli's.

Vocelli's Pizza is actually the same company as Pizza Outlet, they just changed their name, just figured i'd let you know ;]
Today, I ordered the hot wings. If you love hot wings, I would not get them here. Otherwise the chicken was good.
They did forget to deliver the anchovies on the side for the pizza, and delivered over an hour later.
Stopped giving my business to the Leesburg Vocelli pizza after they messed up my order, told me they would give me a free pizza on my next order and then accused me of lying when I took them up on the offer a month or so later. The manager is a cocky little SOB. The pizza does taste good but when a loyal customer is treated this way, the flavor is disgusting.
