I've been here multiple times over a few years, and never fail to be impressed. Most recently for lunch, the efficiency, quality, and charm - - at an incredible price - - is something just jaw-dropping. Nice thin crust, ingredients with abandon and flair, remarkable service, fun vibe - - Luigi's continues to blow me away. The experience can vary depending on whether you get there when it is packed (which it generally is) or you can breeze in and get a table (worth timing your visit to make this a possibility). But no matter what, and no matter when, you will have some super tasty pizza, and a vivid experience. read more

Luigis - Great cheap lunch. Love it. - Italian Near Me - Hamburg, HH

Sehr enges Restaurant und nur mittelmäßiges Essen. Noch nie so hektischen und genervten Service erlebt. Man fühlt sich wie am Laufband. Hauptsache man ist schnell wieder weg und der Tisch ist wieder frei. Nicht mal 45 min waren wir dort und das unter der Woche. Man wurde von den Kellnern regelrecht belästigt und nach dem Essen wurde einem einfach die Rechnung auf den Tisch geknallt. Unergründlich wie dieses Restaurant so beliebt sein kann, da werde ich meinen Abend nicht mehr verbringen. read more

Whoa! Their pizza is HUGE. Luigis is such a cute little restaurant. it's a nice mix of cozy and hip. We had two glasses of red wine, a hot tea, a carbonara classico and pizza parma all for 40 euros. Amazing. I thought their carbonara was really good and it's nice without the sauce. It seems like they use fresh noodles here as well. The pizza parma had arugula and ham on it and it was pretty damn good too. Cheap, delicious, and I will be back. read more

I came here with some friends for a Monday evening dinner. The place was absolutely packed, so I'd definitely recommend a reservation if you're heading there outside of lunch. Luckily, we had one and were seated within a few minutes of arriving even though our party of 3 wasn't entirely here yet. The decor and ambience is certainly unique. In a good way, that is. The walls are decked out with what seems like a random collection of flea market finds, and the entirely unrelated music selection works to complete the experience. The waiters are also super high energy and witty, with an almost relentless desire to practice their heavily Italian-accented English. Our table was in a back corner, which made it easy to chat despite the somewhat loud setting. I'm not sure if that would also apply with the more central tables in the space. My friends recommended the pizzas over the pastas, and that seemed to match past reviews as well as what I saw around me. I got the Prosciutto e Funghi pizza. It's probably the best pizza I've had in Hamburg: really thin dough that's nicely charred from their wood-burning oven with just the right amount of sauce and toppings. These pizzas are huge, probably over 14" in diameter, but the thin dough and toppings makes for a lighter meal than your typical, smaller pizza. At the end of the meal, they drop off the check along with bottles of grappa and sambuca and shot glasses for you to pour away. It's a nice way to end the meal even if the gesture felt a little robotic. The fruit chews accompanying that felt a little out of place, though. If you're in search for a good pizza in Hamburg or just a fun dinner out, definitely check out Luigis. read more

Luigis - Prosciutto e Funghi Pizza - Italian Near Me - Hamburg, HH

Great Food, but, BEST Pizza!! - If you don't like to wait (even with reservation) and don't want to hang close with locals (it is somewhat tight in there), this is not the place for you. But if you worship Pizza...man this is it and great atmosphere the later it gets. If you ask for Sambuca, they'll give you a whole bottle and trust you with it and you'll get into party mood with the patrons. read more

Wow.....what an experiance. Crazy place, excellent service (lot of passion) and great food. Reservation recommendet. It was full the whole evening. High noise level. Pizza is the main dish and 90% of all orders. Excellent. However by far not the best in town. Burrata was delicious. Perfect! Clear a place to be if you are close to the harbour. read more

My wife and I haven't eaten at too many Italian restaurants in Hamburg since we first moved here, but enough to feel like pizza here just isn't very good. It seemed like most restaurants liked to reheat some version of a frozen pizza or just some other variety that just didn't taste authentic, or really very good for that matter. We were beginning to lose hope, thinking that we had to travel to Italy constantly to get good pizza (which obviously isn't a bad thing at all, especially since plane tickets aren't too bad from here). For the times we don't feel like leaving Hamburg but really want pizza, Grazie a Dio for Luigi's! It's the best tasting pizza we've tried, and the most authentic thus far in Hamburg. All of the pizzas are very good (especially the pizza parma) and cooked in a large indoor wood-fired oven! I love that! Lunch menu portions, which are served around 12pm to 3pm Mon. - Fri. are just the right size per person at an awesome deal of 5€ per person with a small drink. Off-weekday-lunch hours the pizzas are almost double the price, but also probably 1.5 times the size...so there's that. My wife and I actually struggled to finish two pizzas on a lovely summer afternoon in Hamburg and had to box about a half of a pizza to take home. We will continue to try new pizza places throughout our new home, but we're glad to know that we have a really good place to come back to again and again. read more

When I thought we wouldn't find good pizza in Hamburg, my hubby found this spot! The pizza is cooked in a wood-fired oven which you can see from the dining room. The pies are huge! We had trouble finishing the two that we ordered and had to bring them home to have for lunch the next day. I ordered the ham with mushrooms while my hubby ordered the pizza parma. Both were very yummy. The pizza dough was nice and thin and had that bit of chewiness. The toppings were good, though I think they are a bit heavy-handed on the cheese. This place has a great lunch deal, which I probably could not partake in because it would be a trek from where I work, but the regular menu will do just fine. read more

Best lunch place in the area. The Pizza is delicious and the price is unbeatable... For just 4€ you get the classics like Salami etc. At night time the place is usually packed and you have to expect some waiting time. Even with a reservation which gets you wondering why they bother to take them in the first place. With the check comes a complementary bottle (!) of Sambuca... which not too bad (except for the morning afterwards). The focus on the menu really are the pizzas. Just once tried some pasta and it was average at best. So don't even think about anything else. read more

Probably the best pizza in Hamburg! Great lively place, crazy packed so the first challenge is to actually get a table here but if you manage to get it you're in for an experience. Great Italian menu but the pizza's are the highlights. The atmosphere is very lively dark with loud latin music mixed with communal and private tables. read more

Was here today for lunch. The lunch prices are really good (6 euro for a pizza and glas of watter) and the Pizza is very good. If you don't care about more, you may like or love it. I reduce two stars on the review, because this location is very dark inside and felt like a dinner in the dark. Second point is the service, which was very unfriendly. We got a bunch of forks and knives thrown on the table, so we had to collect them from the table. The order was hard to place, because the worker doesn't want to help or explain and was permanently in a hurry. At least we got the bill for 6 persons together, even we asked to pay seperate. I will maybe try it again to another time or directly for a take away. All other restaurants in the near have the same problem at lunch and still can act friendly. read more

Pizza Siciliana was great but the pizza Diavola was extremely spicy! I love spicy food but it was too much.

Headed to luigis after a long day after hearing some really great things about it and i was not disappointed! Me and my dad had a pizza and pasta to share and both were really great. Although there was a little queue to get a seat, it moved really quickly and the wait was definitely worth it. Very reasonably priced pizzas and pastas, and great drinks as well! Definitely will come back!!! read more

I ordered vegetarian pizza without cheese. It was good, but not heavenly good. I would prefer less tomato sources and more olive oil. But vegan pizzas are not easy to handle. Pizza was served in a shape of heart with really beautiful arrangement of seasonal vegetables on top. Extra points for this. I like a little crazy vibe of the place a lot, cooks flirting and guests singing together, amazing place for weekend dinner! read more

Most favorite Italian in Hamburg. Try the Vitello Tonnato- amazing, and the pizza's are delicious! When the meal is coming to an end- be ready for a couple bottles and shot glasses to appear at your table with a friendly smile... The owners/servers know how to party and love making you feel like you're in their own home! read more

I visited this Italian restaurant on my first trip to Germany. Our seat was right in front of the brick oven which was great to see and also the man making the pizza was most entertaining with his singing. I had a large beer and a tomato and mozzarella appetizer. Let's not forget the main dish a large pizza pie with all the works. If you are not a big eater remember to share. If you have been longing to devour a large pizza pie on your own. Order and dive right in. I will be back on my next trip to Germany with my family. read more

The best pizza ever! Leave it to a little Italian joint in the Portuguese section of Hamburg to make the most mouth-watering, buttery slice of heaven. The place is tiny, crowded and noisy, but the waiters are charming and fun. When in Hamburg, you've got to try Luigi's! read more

We had three nights in Hamburg and we ate here for two of them. Might've been all three if we had known about it on our first night. Pizza was great. Lasagna was fantastic. Fettuccine Luigi's was incredible. Tiramisu was super duper. If you arrive after six you can expect a wait. While you wait they will give you a glass of white wine, but you may feel claustrophobic standing in the narrow hallway especially with patrons going in and out of the bathrooms and the waiters carrying plates of pasta and pizza. Go here and be happy. Reasonable prices and portions with a friendly and charming staff. read more

This place was great. In the lovely Portuguese quarter. The pizza we had was delicious, and the service was nice. read more

Luigis - Pizza bolognese - Italian Near Me - Hamburg, HH

On my recent visit to Hamburg, I had a need for a good lunch. Something other than a brat or a schnitzel and boy was that need fulfilled when I ventured into Luigis. Oh boy, I had no idea that such good Italian food could be found in Germany. My first venture was simply a pizza lunch with a glass of wine. Well that salami and mushroom pizza was one of the best I had ever experienced. I have always held Pasquales in San Francisco to the number one pizza but now I think I have found a close competitor. Awesome flavor and my wine glass was really like a fishbowl filled 2/3 full. Thank you... My second venture was two days later wherein I experienced their spaghetti frutti-deMar. OMG....OMG...done to perfection! Very very good. If ever I am in Hamburg again, I am going there for sure. Oh and the atmosphere is sort of eclectic and the tables are almost like shared in some areas with outdoor seating to be had as well. Nice place! read more

Luigis is a quite nice italian restaurant in the quater Neustadt, also calles portuguese quater. The pizzas are like the pizzas in Italy. The pizza toppings are from very good quality and the various daily menu offers always nice new and traditional pizzas. The pasta is also original italian style. The pizzas are big and crispy. Their quality is excellent and you will not find easy a pizza backery like this in Hamburg. If you want to visit Luigis at the evening, you should better have an reservation. Its always difficult to get a table at the evenings. I can only give this restaurant five stars because of the staff. The staff is italian, but they are always a little bit craggy. But the service is fast and good. I recommend this restaurant for a quick but good lunch or dinner for families and groups, but not for a rendevous. read more

Ok pasta/ pizza to a ok price and friendly staff. That's what you get, if you get in. Usually long que and even if you book a table you have to wait an hour or more to get in. read more

Luigis is, BY FAR, the best Italian food I've had anywhere in Germany. The pizza is wood fired and huge...fresh ingredients and superb. The pasta bolognese was outstanding as well...noodles were perfectly al dente. I don't ever give five stars...this would have been six stars. read more

Excellent pizza and lunch special combination! I ordered the vegitarian pizza and it was absolutely delicious and only 4euro. I was really suprized with the quality and the size of the pizza. The service was super quick too! read more

If you are looking for a nice little Italian restaurant in hamburg then you should go there. They serve a really good pizza and also the pasta is good. The atmosphere is quite nice if you don't look at all the Italian kitsch around you. It's very small, so be there on time or reserve a table. read more

I can't say enough about this place! We had lunch there yesterday and had to go back again today! The waiters were super friendly and spoke multiple languages. Our waiter spoke German, Italian, English, Portuguese, and Spanish. The food is seriously better than a lot of the food I had in Italy! The bruschetta, burrata, and the pizza with prosciutto and parmigiano was amazing! They do have some funky dishes that were equally delicious if you like that sort of thing. It is very small and a bit dark inside. Sitting outside is definitely the best, but it does get packed. I would recommend going at like 12 for lunch or 6 for dinner to beat the crowds. If you want Italian in Hamburg, this is the place to go!! read more

Very good food. Went late on a Saturday night and they served us until late. Great staff, very warm.

This place is basically OK if you're up for pizza. I can't complain about the taste and size-wise it's nice and big. I actually managed not to finish mine yesterday which is a rarity for me. I was eating my dinner date's dish along for her though so that's my excuse. I find even at night that place is priced well but everything is very basic. The house wine is not all that good so there goes a star. Further, sitting inside at the front or outside is good but the back room is pretty dreary in my opinion. Finally, while we were there, only one waiter was working and he was busy. Service was very slow although the guy was quite nice. If in the area and up for a pizza, a good place to stop in. I wouldn't hump over here though extra to check this place out. One final positive note: when you pay, you get a shot of either grappa or something sweet. We chose the grappa. read more

Fabulous!! FIRST: make a reservation! SECOND: eat the entire pizza. We had a party of six with a reservation and were seated within minutes and served some of the best food of our lives. Do t miss this place!! Fun, loud and cramped in all the best ways. read more

Super friendly staff that made you feel like you were in Italy until you stepped back out in the Hamburg rain. The pizza was amazing and I managed to finish one on my own, which is rare, but it was so good I simply couldn't stop. read more

I loved this place! The staff is very friendly and fast! However, in case you don't like waiting for others to finish eating, I suggest you to book a table in advance :) read more

Really good pizza. Too big to finish! Free Sambucha shots with the receipt, nice touch. Free bubbly while you wait for a table too. Watch out though, they pour you San Pelegrino water without asking, of you drink it, €5 added to your cheque. A very nice experience overall and a tasty lunch the next day ;) read more

I simply love it! The best pizza in town! Friendly service and great prices! My favorite party-italian:-)

price is ok, order took 90 mins and then the pizza was not the one that i ordered. i do not know why this place has positive reviews .. in my opinion it sucks .. and i will never visit this place ever again.. i will rather eat kebab .. read more
