Peter Stassinopoulos arrived in America early in the 1960s. Peter followed a similar path as his brother Leo, taking on several jobs including working for Chrysler from 1960 to 1965. He also worked in the restaurant business learning the trade.

The brothers’ initial success was due to their hard work and personal touch to the Coney Island business.The family recipe for their famous Greek Salad dressing along with the chili and other great homemade items has been the backbone of success for the company. The Stassinopoulos brothers, Leo and Pete, were able to build up a reputation for quality food and service and followed up by opening their second location in 1979.

However, throughout the years Leo’s has not strayed from the formula of serving the highest quality products and giving great service to customers. Leo has made it his mission to provide the experience of a Coney Island, while also offering delicious homemade soups and family favorites.

Its mission to participate in these worthwhile causes continues as Leo’s expands into new communities. Leo’s Coney Island will always be dedicated to bringing great food and service to our customers and providing the best experience possible.
