Lucali

absolutely best pizza i’ve ever had! line is long but soooo worth it 🔥🔥🔥

Just exceptional. John’s of Bleecker was incredible but this beats it. And that’s saying something. We had some pasta that shocked us how good it was. Staff were totally fantastic also.

Finally made it to the coveted and famous Lucali. Got here at 3 waited to 4 to put in a table for 2. Got seated at 5. Ordered one large cheese and one large calzone. To be honest I was underwhelmed. All the hype made it seem like this was going to blow me away but it really didn’t. Granted the crust is nice and thin made in a wood fired brick oven. Nice fresh good quality tomato sauce with what seems like good quality cheese and fresh basil. The flavor was very good but very simple. It didn't hit me in the face like i was expecting. the thing that was missing was a rich flavor you get from good quality cheese to mix in well with the tomatoes and basil. Considering the difficulty to get inside, I would not repeat a visit.

This is it, nothing else compares

Fresh and light but that’s it. Decent favor. Calzone was better.

Herd was hard to get a table. Got lucky that night drove right up somone canceled and me and my girl got a table right away. Amazing pizza one my favorite in NY

Great pie, love the crunch. Sauce was the best part. Glad to finally be able to make it here!

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. The calzone here puts any other calzone to shame.

Orgasmic. Unbelievable. Fantastic. To die for. I ran out of adjectives to describe this pizza. Perfect in every possible way. The cheese is amazing, the crust if fluffy but light and the tomato sauce is perfectly balanced. Love how they sprinkle the basil on top. But good god, heaven should be more accessible so set up a decent reservation system. Great job Mark!

Was a POTA to queue and wait, and like Dave, its not my style...but you can't help but respect the quality of the pizza. The crisp, the sauce, the cheese, basil etc. Its a superb pizza.

Near perfect. Light and fluffy. You don’t feel too full after eating. But somehow still crispy and has an amazing crunch to it. Best crust I’ve had yet and the sauce is spectacular. Calzone was equally awesome. I could do without the basil but besides that…worth the hype in every way.

Soggy and greasy Service was pretentious Don’t really need our business All hype There are dozens of better places in the area including Luigi’s Also expensive Don’t recommend

Good flavor crust was a little soggy.

Perfection, crust, sauce, everything

Light like an angle made it. Crust is crunchy/crispy at the top and more chewy/crisp in the center which is perfect. Sauce and crust objectively perfect. Cheese subjectively amazing. Contender for best pie I’ve ever had.

Lives up to the hype for sure. Simple and good. Quality ingredients & amazing ambiance inside. Thin crust with a good chew that holds up to all the cheese & sauce. Was fairly easy to get a table on a Thursday night @ 5pm by getting in line around 3:45pm so don’t be intimidated by what you hear.

Went on a 5000 mile journey to eat at Lucali, it didn't disappoint, would make the trip any day. Absolutely incredible, emotional experience. The best pizza I have ever eaten, and it was the last on our New York adventure. The blend of cheeses and the crisp crust was to die for, the aroma and flavour of the wood oven really came through. An overall tremendous experience. There is nothing I could say or do to make this pizza better.
