Leo's Chicago Grill (Round Lake) — Restaurant in Round Lake

“Hey, how about a slice?” the Pizza Lady asked. Hensel, 58, didn’t have to answer. He’s been living in Fern Alley for more than 10 years, and for the past 2½ this woman has been bringing him and every other homeless person on the block a free slice in the afternoon. He took a chicken-pesto piece.

“You’re a good soul, you know that?” Hensel told her.

The Pizza Lady’s real name is Andrea Carla Michaels, and at 58 she has made it one of her life’s missions to hand out pizza to the homeless folks in her Lower Polk neighborhood. “The people I deal with out here never ask what I do or did — it’s humbling,” she said, heading up the alley to a woman folded against a wall, head bowed. “We all take each other as we are out here, just human to human.”

In her non-pizza life, Michaels owns ACME Naming, a company that coins monikers for businesses such as the former Vanguard Airlines. Before that, in the 1980s and ’90s, she was a standup comedian who hit the circuit with the likes of Robin Williams and Will Durst and wrote for television shows, including “Designing Women.”

A Harvard psychology graduate at 20, she was also a quasi-regular on television game shows, famously winning $68,000 on Wheel of Fortune in 1991 by guessing “cabbage” with only the “g” and “e” as clues. “That, sadly, was the highlight of my life,” she quipped.

The pizza crusade started on Christmas Eve 2015 when she stopped by Nob Hill Pizza and Shawerma on California Street near Polk, saw a worker tossing an unsold pizza into an empty compost bin, and asked whether she could take it out to feed street people instead. It was still clean, so he heated it up and she passed it out. From then on, Michaels made handing out unsold pizzas from the shop a daily ritual — seven days a week, excepting occasional days out of town, at...

The place seems if it's clean and comfortable to be in with plenty of tables and chairs.

Food seems to be good - I had a steak fajita pita with fries and a drink. Steak wasn't something from Gibson's but still tasty and cooked well done, and the crinkly fries were hot and slightly crispy - it's all basically food from a food service company (what isn't) but still passable. My coworker had tacos, and though it's TexMex-ish, it looked good. Another co-worker had a burger and he was satisfied with it too. Had he have any issues with it, he'll definitely complain. I heard the pizza is good here so I'll try it next time.

Plenty of parking outside, a bathroom is in the back, and a TV is there for some entertainment. A good and decent place I'll...

Leo’s would get my full 5 star rating but ever since they hired the new guy I have had two orders that he forgets to put my entire order in or modifications or extras that I pay for. Twice now I have had missing items or modifications I don’t ask for/ don’t receive . The girl that works there is amazing and she always offers us a credit but to not have what you ordered when you pay and order it is extremely frustrating and I hope the owner either cracks down on the new guy or terminates him from the job from being lazy and careless. We haven’t ordered Leo’s in a while since the first time we had missing items and to our luck it happens AGIAN and of course it’s the same guy who answered and took the...
