This is one of my favorite pizzas in NYC and it's right in the heart of Flushing. It's a small store with only 6 seats so most of time I'm standing. They sell individual slices. The best way to eat it right there at the store when it's served piping hot. I have burned my tongue a few times! It is piping hot, crispy and oily. Exactly what a NYC pizza slice should be. They just opened a new location in Bayside. If I'm ever in that area, I will go there for a taste. read more

The real deal here, great tomato sauce, cheesy and great crust and fresh from the oven. Boy I wish they deliver to Jackson Heights, I came to flushing just for this and it was worth it!. Great quick and friendly staff too. Can't beat that. read more

Perfect classic old school cheese slice and my favorite cheese slice in Queens! This is a classic pizzeria that reminds me of my childhood favorite in Brooklyn. Everything from the old fashioned stools, menu, and the soda fountain machine. Classic cheese slice is my go-to here. I love the crispy texture of the pizza dough and how cheesy it is when I bite into it. It had just the right amount of tomato sauce and it tastes so good! You get your slice pipping hot so don't burn yourself! read more

When in Chinatown, this pizza joint is a great change of pace! Thin or thick...NY pizza by the slice at a reasonable price is ALWAYS a treat! Busy is an understatement and a testimony to the quality of the product! Try it...you'll like it! read more

It's really a small pizzeria with very limited seating. It's such an old school place and they get very busy. I absolutely love pizza because it's quick and easy. I really have eaten a lot of pizza in my lifetime. This place is definitely one of my to go when I am in the area. I hate when pizza is soggy, oily and floppy because it's so messy. Their slices are thin, crunchy and cheesey just like a slice should be. read more

The sauce is the best. Great neighborhood spot. And very underrated! Love coming here often with the family. read more

Lucia Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Flushing, New York

Their plain cheese is an experience I like to seek: sauce and cheese on top are molten hot and floating on the crust when it just comes made out of the oven. People take pride in knowing how to eat these slices without burning their mouths or having a major mess. Price is $3/slice. 5* Basically, need to balance holding a very thin paper plate that's holding a hot pizza slice and inch forward the tip of the pizza over the edge of the plate for mini bites so the mouth to warms up without burning and pizza cools slightly for bigger and bigger bites. This long-standing small pizzeria, with a storefront take-out window and a handful of counter seatings inside, started in 1962 and one I started frequenting since the mid-1980s. Slices are a slightly cheesier than in my youth (or I'd like) but still fun to eat and so good. Extra Large Plain Pizza Pie has 8 slices. Eat one molten hot one at the pizzeria and then bring it home for the others. Heats up well covered over low heat (just don't expect the slices to get molten hot as in the pizzeria). $23. 5* Italian Ice is so good to have with or after a slice, or just on its own. Lemon is my favorite followed by rainbow & cherry. $3/large Service Quick Located On Roosevelt, 1/2 block north of Main St. read more

It's a good option if nearby and in need for a quick cheap bite. It's tiny, a few spots to stand and sit. I would not go out of my way to get a slice or pie from here. read more

The reviews are right. I decided on the spinach roll instead of pizza and it did not disappoint! It's a small place with limited seating but definitely worth the wait. Can't wait to return and try their pizza!! read more

What can I say, except this is my favorite pizza place in all the land. I've been coming here year after year for over 20 years with my family and this time even made it all the way out here while visiting from my new home in Seattle. Yeah, I traveled across the country and stopping here for my favorite slice of NY style pizza was a must. This place holds a special place in my heart because it never changes - for the better. It's a small pizzeria where the staff is quick, knows how to bang out amazing pizza and is always consistently the BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE - and that says a lot coming from a foodie that grew up in NJ and NYC. I had two cheese slices this visit and they were just heavenly. The pizza is always thin and crunchy, the sauce is a little sweet, and there is a perfect layer of cheese that glosses over the entire slice that is melted to perfection. This slice of pizza might be my death row meal. If you haven't come here - come here and taste what pizza is suppose to taste like and what you might have been missing out on your whole life.. read more

Good pizza but you'll have to stand in the corner, away from the fray of eager buyers, because there are no seats. It's mainly a take-out anyway, with most ppl on their way somewhere, and dropping by for a few slices to go. The pizza is reliable, and very oily , so grab extra napkins to sop up that extra oil. read more

5 stars is a stretch but 4 seems just right Good spot, and certainly an institution within Flushing. The only spot I could find on the way to LGA amidst a sea of Chinese written signs. The place has been around since before the ship landed and I feel it's going to be there til the end as well... Everyone and their mother was stopping in here for a quick slice or two and I have a feeling that's really the way to go: Grab a slice on the run and get out. Old school joint, a hallway at best and a counter-top to try to indulge; a poorly managed front end if you will in a super busy pizza joint. read more

Been looking for a new local pizza place for a while. Most of the places I tried , the crust either tasted like cardboard or pizza was very oily, and othe times it had no taste. Browsing on Yelp , I came upon this place, so figured let's give it a try. I can honestly say I found my new local pizza spot. The pizza is your basic New York style pizza. No fancy crust or ingredients. It also didn't cost a fortune. When I got there there was a line, with orders constantly coming in. After placing the order, I was told it would be around 30 min. While waiting I could see many more orders coming in through the phone and people coming by ordering. For me that's always a good sign. Unlike other places where they have multiple pies on display...this place was too busy keeping up with the orders. The pizza itself had a perfect sauce to cheese to crust ratio. The crust wasn't overly thick and actually had taste to it. The other thing I noticed is there pizza wasn't burnt...no matter how many pies they made. For me , this is the best pizza in Queens by far. I would give it five stars, but they were a bit short on the toppings. I ordered pepperoni and meatballs, the meatballs were hardly visible. Next time just a pepperoni pie would be perfect. read more

Lucia Pizza - Meatballs and pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Flushing, New York

Great pizza and service. Really popular place, Sicilians were still crunchy after a reheat at home

$3/slice of cheese pizza and absolutely delicious! The crust is so crispy and the cheese is stringy and piping hot (like burn your mouth and chin hot)! Highly recommend!! read more

Good ny style pizza! Busy throughout the afternoon so you know it's fresh. Fast counter service.

Lucia's is my childhood pizzeria from the 1970s. Stopped by recently after many decades and it is still the same solid, classic NYC slice. Perfect crust. Nice balanced sauce. And just the right amount of cheese. There is a reason Lucia's has been around for 60+ years. read more

This peach shop is so delicious. My cousin bought me pizza there one time and brought it over to my house and I asked where they bought it from and they said there I was saying wow every place you go to is a different taste, but that's what makes a good about pizza, it just doesn't have the same taste and to me. This was very delicious and I recommend it to others. read more

First time visiting NYC from El Paso, TX, saw this place with great reviews. Did not disappoint!! Didn't get the person's name that attended us however, amazingly friendly person and even give my kiddos a taste of their frozen dessert. My kid's favorite place out of all the restaurants. Awesome place!!! Thank you for the experience!! read more

Looking for non-Asian food options in the hood, it's only natural I came across Lucia Pizza, one of the oldest businesses in downtown Flushing. I came in with the expectation that it would be good, but I wasn't expecting how addicting the actual pizza is. It was good enough to give a thumbs up, but great enough to warrant many visits back. The interior is something out of the 1980s, somewhat antiquated with the added bonus of feeling divey due to the narrow interior. The decor is virtually nil with only enough counter seats for a quick meal and open kitchen. Majority of their orders revolve around take-out and plenty of cash. Don't let the old school register fool you, they do accept credit cards. The menu prices aren't 1980s friendly, but they are still very friendly for this decade. Regular pizza slices are $2.50 and most pies are $11-18. They also have rolls, calzones, hot heros, pasta, hot wings, and beef patties for between $3-6. They even sell pizza dough for $2.50 and Italian Ices for under $2. For as small as their operation is, I'm really impressed with the variety of stuff they have. Their pizza slices are the quintessential New York Style pizza. Oftentimes people talk about how hot their slices are straight out of the oven, I would let the pizza cool a bit before taking a bite. The simplicity of the pizza is a beautiful thing. I am even more fond of their Sicilian, which is cheesy, airy, and downright delicious. I understand why people would find this pizza nostalgic, even if they didn't grow up eating it. If that's not nostalgic, the grape and fruit punch certainly are. Service wise, the guys are pros. They bake a pizza with a smile and handle delivery orders like it's nothing. I appreciate the fact they are quick and efficient and recognize their regulars. I'll definitely be back often and hungry. read more

The best slice of pizza! I've been coming here for over 30 years and the pizza is as good as ever. Thin crispy crust topped with a flowing lava of cheese and sauce that is guaranteed to burn the roof of your mouth. The pain is worth it. The taste of the sauce and cheese is unforgettable . When I'm not in NY I dream about this pizza. read more

This is quite possibly the best pizza in New York. The classic New York slice. Good sauce, good crust and solid flavor. Their plain, Sicilian are the best. Beef patty with cheese is yum. The people who own this joint are cool. read more

Crust is top notch, but sauce a little light and bland. Cheese is on point. Nice to have a pizza alternative in a sea of Popcorn Chicken and Boba. Worth a walk up from Main St if you happen to be near the 7. read more

I normally don't order plain slices because toppings elevate pizza from being one-dimensional, but I do when going to Lucia. Their plain slices are excellent, and among the best I've had. The crust is thin and crunchy, yet doesn't flop around under the weight of the cheese. Maybe it's because there isn't much cheese? Nah. There's enough. It's extremely well-balanced in terms of crust, cheese, and sauce. I'm not giving higher than 4 though, because that's basically all I can really review them on. This place is always packed so there's rarely any available seating, and when there is, it's not particularly comfortable. read more

Got a slice of pepperoni for $3. Delicious! First bite was crunchy, hot. Pizza came out quick. Tip: since it's hot, don't hold it vertical so all the cheese slides off like me... important pizza lessons learned. read more

Really great pizza right in the middle of Flushing Chinatown. Small place but a friendly and courteous staff!!

Aside from the do it yourself (musical chairs style)- dining (humbles you) the owner is hilarious and personable with all the customers making eating out a humanistic approach to humor and social anti anxiety read more

Omg why have I never given Lucia Pizza a second chance until now? Everyone can have their own opinion about the "best NYC pizza" but I think this is by far the best I've had. The first time around, my cheese slice was soft and mushy but the second time, the pizza was absolutely perfect. My pepperoni slice was crusty on the bottom but not burnt, with cheesy goodness on top. This is the type of pizza that is crispy yet not too hard and the cheese does not slide off when you hold it with one hand. Extra points for hot pizza upon delivery! read more

I consider myself to be a Pizza Snob after being spoiled by Queens Pizza King Margherita's in Jamaica. While in the area, I decided to stop in considering this is the only Pizza shop on Main St. In an area saturated with Asian cuisine, finding a old school Italian pizza shop is a rare find. I love the pizza here and chicken parmigiana. I loved the crust. New York thin crust and crispy. Unlike Margherita's, Lucia's lacks an adequate amount of mozzarella on the slice. In order to enjoy pizza, I need low moisture mozzarella. Without it, there's just bread and tomato sauce. The sauce is pretty good and I liked that it was not as acidic and sweet as Gabby's. Priced at $2.50 a slice, you have guessed that the pizza is in high demand due to lack of competition in the area. This is an old school shop with limited stool seating. This is your grab a slice and run kind of shop. Many patrons are stopping in on the way from school and on lunch breaks. They serve other dishes like hot wings, beef patties and subs. The make the best Chicken Parmesan here. The Italian bread is perfection ! They also sell old school fountain soda with my favorite African American favorite GRAPE Kool Aid flavor. read more

Delicious New York style pizza. Our pizza was very good. Price was a bit expensive and the door dash delivery to our hotel was less than optimal, but the pizza was so good it still deserves 5 stars. Recommend! read more

The owner forgot my order and he dared to press down on my slice with his filthy fingers after it was warmed up (he is the only person collects cash). I noticed the grease in the take out bag....very disappointed that he would do to his customers. Don't piss off the owner or anyone there. Or else, they would probably spit or who knows what else to your pizza ... read more

I'm not a nyc style pizza girl, but this was really good. I ordered a slice to take home to my hotel if you're from out of town or not familiar with the area, don't come in there with a big purse or something expecting to sit down. Your bag will be on the floor. There's maybe 3 seats MAX and people constantly coming in and out. That's a normal thing, but definitely something to prepare for! I only had my phone so I was good! People were super nice! read more
