As beach week draws to an end it wouldn’t have been complete without one last stop on the way home at the new Pizzeria Lucci in Belmar that many say is already amongst the elites of NJ and more. The near social medialess is headed by a familiar name in the pizza game Mike Gallucci that you’d be living under a rock if that didn’t sound familiar. No phones, no slices just amazing artisanal pizza cooked well done as you can see below. The fermented dough is thin, light and airy charred perfect to my liking with a milled tomato sauce, a great blend of mozz and the “lifestyle” topping of choice roni cups. It’s a damn perfect pie that exceeds its hype of one of the best in NJ ignoring any new kid on the block vibes. This place has already cemented itself as one of the greats and created a Lucali like aura minus the hours of waiting but it took Mark years to get there Lucci has exploded in just a few months, do yourself a favor and get here now as it’s sure to be the next destination pizza mecca!!! I also had people asking me after what I thought of the pizza as if I weren’t just some doofus that killed two pies but someone who’s opinion matters, maybe I’m getting somewhere
