Luigi's Pizza

Old school Brooklyn pizzeria. Crust is amazing. Sauce is delicious. Perfect amount of cheese. Small store front with plenty of NY personality. Excellent !!!!

I’ve been looking forward to trying Luigi’s…and my god was this worth the wait! Simply put, this is the best pizza I’ve had in New York and the second best pizza I’ve ever had in my life! I pulled up, old school spot, tons of neighborhood people grabbing slices. Giovanni was in house and seemed to know almost everyone who was pulling up. The smell hits you when approaching and my mouth instantly started watering….everything about this pizza was near perfect….insane level of flaky crispiness with the crust, it was razor thin with zero flop….the sauce was present in every bite and was incredible! Loaded with flavor and worked perfectly with the crust, the cheese….melt in your mouth smooth and creamy and also flavorful…the complete bite brought me back to some of the first bites I can recall having of pizza in my life. Incredibly affordable per slice, amazing story, the neighborhood loves it and as I said earlier, this is in my opinion the best pizza in all of New York!

Everything about Luigi’s was worth the trip! The owner Gio became one of my favorite people within 5 minutes of meeting him! The interior is everything an old school pizzeria should be! Nostalgia oozes out of this joint!! Oh yeah and the pizza!?!? Phenomenal!!! I’m not a regular slice guy and I’m saying it’s probably the best regular slice I’ve ever had. I give the Margherita slice just a slight edge, but both are incredible. I could hang out there all day!!! ⭐️ Regular Slice - 8.8 ⭐️ Margherita 9.0

Great texture; cheese was sharp yet undistinguished; fresh, yet not overwhelmingly so.

Thin slice, a bit over cooked which killed the flavor.

Slices are fine but far under Dave’s score. Grandma’s wasn’t good.

Fantastic crisp, amazing cheese. Distinctive sauce. The best.

As good as advertised

Has two regular and one mozzarella slice the plain was better but both were thin but great flavor!!!

Place is as good as it gets I’ve had the regular also a 9.5 calzone 9.5 this is the fresh mozzarella pie absolutely amazing. Same crispy crust zero flop. Friendly inside the most energy the man gio actually makes the pies great stuff

Good spot just doesn’t have the crunch I was expecting

Nice crispy pie, quality cheese, the sauce was right there

In full transperacy I have eaten at Luigi’s more then any other pizzeria, the benefit of living down the street 37 years of my life and always knowing the Gio and his family are some of the best pizza makers around. Sadly, I don’t have the luxery of walking up the block to grab a slice and hang with Gio, discussing life The Mets or what’s going on in the neighborhood anymore. Visited recently, nothing changed and it was bit of childhood nostalgia for me. Pizza is always incredible, the Sicilian was even better then the regular slice, I ate it so fast forgot to snap a photo, Gio’s chicken rolls and calzones are phenomenal as well. If you are in area stop in grab a slice and experience a bit of old school Brooklyn both in the pizza and in the owner.

This is what it’s all about. Right here. Right now. I don’t go into the 9’s that often, don’t plan on it either but Luigi’s might be the best pizza in the world. The great Gio is one of a kind, you go in there Gio puts on a show. The Sicilian is the pie to get. Yes the round is great, and it’s old school. But the square is on a different level. My black friend Elroy said this “I wasn’t alive to see Beethoven orchestra a symphony. I wasn’t alive to see Elvis bring the house down. I wasn’t alive to see The Babe call his shot. But I got see Gio make a pizza” high compliment from Elroy who is a black man, and it was a good thing he wasn’t alive because they probably wouldn’t had let him sit at any of those events. Anyway 9.6 for the great Gio.

Easily the best pizza I’ve ever had

A pretty incredible NY slice. Nothing fancy. Slices were fresh out of the oven. Amazing sauce. Grandma pie was also outstanding.
