Lenny’s Overview
Lenny’s is a new pizzeria on Henrietta Street in Covent Garden, from Max Lewis and MJMK Restaurants, the team behind Casa do Frango, Fonda, Luso, KOL and Anglo Thai.
The result of Max’s extensive travels to New Haven, Connecticut, Lenny’s is built around pizzas that are crispy, chewy and charred.
A revival of his much-loved pop-up, it will now have a permanent home in the heart of Covent Garden.
We’re building the opening team now.
