"Sal purchased a brick oven for his backyard in Long Island With a little bit of social media push, the pre-orders began to roll in. The demand grew to a point where a brick and mortar location was necessary. Sal and a group of old friends decided to come together to bring Lucia to a storefront. The previous business located at 2201 Avenue X was struggling due to the pandemic, and this presented the opportunity for Lucia to bring back something to the community in a time of uncertainty." Wow.. talk about taking a risk.. back then I..we all wondered if we could survive Covid-19. I remember during the pandemic, NY mag highlighted Lucia of Avenue X and raved about the pizza. I bookmarked it in Yelp and now with NY mag providing a free slice and soda I decided today is the day to visit. All I can say is ... WOW! Lucia will be added to my Top 10 pizza list. Yep sitting side by side with L'Industrie, Roberta's, Paulie Gee and Fini. As you may know, my pizza list includes mostly Brooklyn neighborhoods such as Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick. I will visit Avenue X to make it authentic. Now back to the pizza.. what can I say? When the creator makes the right ratio of sauce/crust/cheese and adds fresh basil to a plain slice what you get is an exquisite slice of heaven! Every single ingredient I tasted was fresh and delicious. The Pepperoni slice with a nice portion of pepperoni, was a big cheat.. but worth it. Menu options for pizza include white, cream of spinach, Carmella piccanti, sausage, salsiccia, grandma square, mushroom, poblano and a future Fawn pick, Field Pig ( smoked bacon, Gruyere béchamel. mozzarella and roast corn.) Yowza! I am a former Baruch College student who would have loved to enjoy Lucia's pizza. The Gramercy neighborhood is very lucky. So "Come by and pick up your pie" you will not be disappointed! ** Lucia Pizza of Soho operates as a coffee shop by day and transforms into one of the loveliest little wine bars in the city by night, All Day 4:30 AM 5:00 ... ( Lucia Alimentari). You will see this name shown in napkin holder picture I posted. Another future Fawn visit. read more

High-quality ingredients, perfect crust, among the best pizza anywhere. You order at the counter, pick up at the other end. They only have pizza! Very focused on quality. No need to rate the service! It's a small place and the ambience is typical of pizza places. Highly recommend this place. read more

The pizza is a good example of a type of NYC pizza, a slightly fancier version. The crust tends to be fine if it doesn't dry out when they reheat slices. A little pricey. Two pizzas were $80 with tip. The customer service sucks. My wife ordered online and paid. I arrived half way into the time range they said to arrive in. They said they needed 10 more minutes... that's fine, not a big deal. 15 minutes later I go up and ask again, they don't recall the order then they try to give me one pizza when the order is for two. They don't know where the second one is. The one they tried to give me disappears. 35 minutes after getting there I go up and ask what's the issue. They don't know but one goes in back to see and they come out with the order. The one pizza seems like it was done at least 10 min earlier based on the luke warm temp. The second box with a name crossed off and ours added, who knows how long that was sitting. It was a mess. And after waiting 35 minutes after they said it would be ready, they offered no "sorry about that" or "thanks for waiting" or any other minuscule concession. The order system seems like a mess, and the people at the counter are not proactive. Like despite me standing at the counter waiting for the last 20 minutes no one inquired, as if I was just standing there for fun (even though I already asked for the order twice at that point). They seemed oblivious to their surroundings and no one's at the helm. read more

No notes. Great place to grab a slice and kind workers. Little more expensive than your average NY slice but quality of ingredients makes it worth it. read more

Pizzas were delicious but kind of flat in flavor m. Nothing too exciting or lived up to its hype. Its nice to see how much space there is to sit and enjoy everything but i don't think this place is worth going out of your way for. Food looked amazing overall!

Lucia Pizza - Carmelle Picanti - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

Thin crust with flavorful topping and plenty of pepperoni slices on the pizza slice at Lucia Pizza. It had opened sometime ago. I passed it many times but didn't go in. Finally on Monday on my way home I decided to get a slice with a garlic knot. The pizza slice is put in another oven (convection?) and fresh basil leaves are added and cheese is grated on top. What a surprise that the pizza and customer service was excellent. The garlic knot was greasy and average in flavor as the best one is at the Upside SoHo location. I sat and ate nicely. These two cost $8+change which was expensive. Some customers have complained about the high prices. Cello's is far cheaper. read more

Enjoyed the field pig pie - it's unique with sweet corn and I love drizzling some of their hot honey on top. Perfect summer slice, which we usually get as take out. Arrives warm and reheats well! read more

We were surprised to find this anywhere other than SoHo so we went right in. Pies were getting made fresh which is always a great sign. We got the vodka, margherita and spinach slices and all were good but the best was definitely the vodka so get that if you're only gonna get 1 slice. read more

Good pizza at the Gramercy location though it did not wow me as the slice I had last year at the SoHo location--probably because the plain slice I ate needed to be reheated. Still good but I was expecting a little more. read more

Great pizza addition to the Gramercy neighborhood. Lucia offers regular and some fancy slices with a range of different options for vegetarians and those who want something more fun and complex will still enjoy enjoying a great New York slice. There's limited indoor seating available but still enough seats if you want your party want to hang for a little bit. Service is quick and friendly. The specialty slices are all worth at least one try especially the potato and onion. read more

This pizza was shockingly not worth the price at all. I might have gone on an off day but it had no toppings at all, which is sad because the sauce is good and would've served as a good base for a normal amount of cheese. A bit confused why the stinginess when the slices are $5 for an extremely thin dough and one basil leaf. One of the most confusing dining experiences I've had in a while, which is not what you want when getting a slice in New York City. read more

Lucia Pizza - Cheese slice - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

A welcome addition to Gramercy, on the corner of Third and 22nd... their pizza has been on my radar for awhile... great display case, with signs for each pie. I had their plain, field pig, and potato onion. They finish all slices with pecorino and fresh basil. The Field Pig from Lucia and Fig Jam Bacon from L'Industrie are tied for my fave specialty slices in NYC (followed by potato from Slicehaus). Look forward to returning to Lucia, there are a lot of other options I want to taste. $3.50 plain, $5.99 all other slices, plus tax. Field Pig: smoked pancetta, roast corn, mozzarella, gruyere bechamel (Mike's Hot Honey optional, I didn't add it). Potato and Onion: sliced potatoes, red onion, mozzarella, and gruyere bechamel. read more

I'm so happy Lucia opened a location so close to me! Gramercy was in need of a great slice shop. This location is spacious and has a few tables inside as well as a dedicated section for delivery orders (but not yet open.) There is a large variety of pies and unique combinations. I ordered my go-tos this first visit, but plan to try all the different pies. I got the plain, pepperoni, fresh tomato and cream of spinach slices. They were all thin, crispy and full of flavor. You can tell they use high quality ingredients on the pies. I'm happy to have Lucia as my new neighborhood slice shop! read more

Lucia is a major upgrade to the combo pizza/burrito store (yes, you read that right) that used to occupy this corner. The pizza is good, there's no denying it; fresh ingredients, good crispy texture, lots to love here. They even have a little finishing station where they'll add some garnishes or oil to a slice once it comes out of the oven. Talk about class! You'll definitely pay a little premium for the quality (and the fancy finishing station), but it's well worth the extra dollar or two if you want great pizza instead of a standard corner slice. read more

This place has completely fallen off since it first opened. The pizza was dry, salty and flavorless overall. The service was also terrible -the person taking orders didn't know basic menu prices and the other employee acted like the customers were an inconvenience. He clearly hated being there. I get that it's a casual pizzeria but the employees are unprofessional and rude. No reason to come back. read more

Short review/side note- if you want a general, delicious, plain slice, go here. Also, the technical name of this spot should be "Lucia Pizza of Gramercy," following the same nomenclature as "of Ave X" and the "of Soho" locations, but whatever. This is one of the, as of this point, four locations of this excellent pizza place (there are almost enough places to call it a chain, but the quality is still too high, so I will let that slide for now.) In general, their plain/classic slice is excellent. It is reasonably priced for the quality at $3.50, and a nice middle ground between the more classic style at spots like Joe's or Luigi's and a more modern slice at L'Industrie or a handful of other places. I would say it's more towards the latter, as the crust is a bit crispier, and it's one of my favorite standard slices in the city. New to this location, as well as the UES location, is the Field Pig with roasted corn, smoked pancetta, gruyère béchamel, chive, and an olive oil finish. The price point is $5.99 + tax for any specialty slice (this includes white pizza, which is a bit odd,) while the plain slice, as mentioned before, is $3.50 + tax. They also appear to offer more square pies here. The slice was interesting, with a bit of saltiness, some sweetness and crunch from the corn, and a bit more richness than their typical slice, which was probably from the bechamel. I am happy that the bechamel wasn't too overpowering, as then it probably would have reminded me a bit too much of Artichoke Basille's, which I'm not that big a fan of. It was good, though I still prefer their plain and the standard mushroom from the original location on Avenue X. There also seemed to be more square pies here compared to their other locations. The original location of this place is closer to a 5, while the rest of their spots get closer to a four. The plain slice is still extremely good and worth waiting in line. read more

Open daily, try their pies - we liked the Papa Leone (vodka), the Spinach (prepared with cream of spinach and a 3-cheese blend), and the Poblano Funghi (with open fire-roasted poblano pepper crema, aged provolone, and mushrooms). They also have slices available! The slices were tasty with a crisp crust - staff were friendly! Located on the the corner of 22nd and 3rd, get there early so you can get first dibs! +slices +friendly service read more

No line at Lucia's on a frigid winter Sunday evening while the line at Rolf's is half a block long; pretty obvious which would be the winner. Got a slice of the potato & onion (sliced potatoes, red onion, mozzarella and Gruyère Bechamel) and a slice of the Field Pig (smoked pancetta, roast corn, mozzarella, Gruyère Bechamel). Both were excellent. $5.99 per slice is treading the cusp of overpriced, but they're specialty slices, so the splurge can be justified. Love the new location, it's certainly got more standing and seating than the soho location. Surprised they have a whole section dedicated for delivery (not open as of writing), would be nice if they added more seating. read more

This pizza was delivered to our place and could have been handled better. Half of it was smashed. The pizza itself was excellent. The crust was crunchy and chewy. When I was biting into the pizza, the crunchy sounds were humorously loud. The pepperoni that we added was cooked well. The flavor and ricotta cheese were balanced well and one flavor didn't overpower another. Would definitely get this pizza again, but maybe next time go to the spot for an unabashed pizza. read more

Have been dying for this spot to open and it's finally here! They just opened and have had a line pretty much since (even in the rain). I tried the cheese slice and am obsesses with the sweetness of the sauce. Need to come back to try the vodka and some of the other specialty slices. Plenty of seating inside or you can do takeaway. read more

Newish spot in my neighborhood that's really not worth the price. If you already have fave slice spot nearby, stick with that place. Have given this place several tries and, oddly, each time the customer service gets worse. Not that we go to slice places for the world's best customer service, but if you're gonna charge $5 a slice, then it needs to be less abusive than the DMV. The pizza is okay but other local spots are even better and the employees like people. read more

Ordered a regular and vodka slice, really good pizza, tasty, thin crisp crust. Definitely would return if in the neighborhood.

I went to the Gramercy location for the first time and ordered a couple of slices to go. The pizza was tasteless. Not bad. Just tasteless. The young man behind the counter wearing thick-framed black glasses was not affable. He tossed my changed at me and then put the pizza in a bag and tossed that at me as well. Hmmm, not the place for me. read more

Very very average. Not greasy, which is a plus. But the dough and sauce are very flavorless.

lightning fast service, great food, and a calm atmosphere. great place to go for pizza.

I was very excited when I saw that this place was moving in across the street from where I live, but I was sorely let down. i've tried it three times now and: 1) the pizza is never hot, even when I ask for it extra hot. 2) it is never fresh out of the oven (I guess you need to order a whole pie for that. 3) The crust is meh, doesn't have much flavor or a distinctive texture. 4) the toppings don't rock my world either. Oh well. Sigh. read more
