You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Ledo Pizza''' is an American pizza [[restaurant chain]] in the [[Mid-Atlantic states|Mid-Atlantic]] and  [[Southeastern United States]] headquartered in [[Annapolis, Maryland]]. Their first pizzeria was opened in [[Adelphi, Maryland]], in 1955 on University Boulevard ([[Maryland Route 193]]) in [[Adelphi, Maryland#Adelphi Shopping Center|Adelphi Shopping Center]] near the [[University of Maryland, College Park]] (((coord|38|59|5.5|N|76|58|1|W|region:US-MD_type:landmark|display=inline))). The first franchise was granted to the Fireside Restaurant in [[Berwyn Heights, Maryland]], in 1979. Fireside Restaurant no longer exists. There are now over 100 restaurants in Maryland, [[Virginia]], [[West Virginia]], [[North Carolina]], [[South Carolina]],
[[Florida]], New York City and [[Washington, D.C.]]<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.ledopizza.com/locations/|title=Ledo Pizza Near Me - Locations on the East Coast|access-date=24 June 2018))</ref>

==Overview==
Ledo Pizza is rectangular in shape and is known for its very thin crust, sweet sauce, thick [[pepperoni]] (one per slice; optional), and smoked provolone cheese, often using the tagline "Ledo Pizza is square, because we don't cut corners."((Citation needed|date=April 2021))
[[File:Ledo's pizza (15249893846).jpg|thumb|left|Pizzas from Ledo Pizza]]
The restaurant chain has been called by several names, including Ledo Pizza and Ledo Pizza and Pasta.((Citation needed|date=April 2021))

The original location in [[Adelphi, Maryland]], at the [[Adelphi, Maryland#Adelphi Shopping Center|Adelphi Shopping Center]] was established in 1955. The name on its website is "Tommy Marcos' Ledo Restaurant".((Citation needed|date=April 2021)) The original location is not listed in the restaurant finder maintained by  website.((Citation needed|date=April 2021)) The omission from the chain's website may be related to a legal dispute between the Ledo chain and the Marcos family.<ref>((cite news|title=Ledo Pizza sues former partners in trademark dispute|url=http://www.gazette.net/stories/120806/businew191215_31989.shtml|work=Gaithersburg Gazette|first=Marcus|last=Moore|date=2006-12-08|access-date=2007-01-03|archive-date=2007-09-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927001007/http://www.gazette.net/stories/120806/businew191215_31989.shtml|url-status=dead))</ref> The same pizza based on the same family recipe is served at TJ Elliots in [[Bowie, Maryland]], along with many of the other signature Italian-American and family dishes.((Citation needed|date=April 2021)) TJ Elliots is owned and operated by Tommy and Jimmy Marcos.((Citation needed|date=April 2021))
