Finally checked out Lil' Luka's Pizza and it was great!
This spot comes from the original owners of Bakers & Baristas, so if you've been there before you already know they take their food SERIOUSLY.
Right now Lil' Luka's runs as a Friday night pop-up from 5-10pm in Artesia out of the bbSuperette shop. They take pre-orders ahead of time and phone orders during service, which I'd recommend because it definitely gets busy.
Most of the seating is outdoors. There's some standing communal tables inside and a few tables right outside the shop plus the communal patio tables in the quad area. Makes it feel like a chill neighborhood hangout.
One thing I like is the menu rotates, so their specialty pizzas change every month. Gives you a reason to keep coming back.
That said, Ilike to judge a pizza place by their Marg. If the Marg is good, the rest of the menu usually is too. Their Margherita was EXCELLENT. Simple, balanced, and the crust had that perfect chew with a little crisp on the bottom.
Don't sleep on the potato situation either. If it's on the menu that month, GET IT.
Low-key one of the better pizza pop-ups around right now. If you're around Cerritos/ Artesia, Long Beach or North OC, definitely give them a try. read more
