    Cuisine: 7 Service: 6 Decor: 5 Value: 10 Overall: 7 One of the most famous slices of pizza in all of Brooklyn for many years. On my most recent visit, a whole fresh plain pizza pie for still only $22.75 is insane. Best price for a pie in NYC, not counting all the dollar slice stores since they make shit pizza. We ordered a whole pie half plain and half pepperoni, which is only $2.50 more. What I notice right away is the zesty tomato sauce, which Has love. However, I must admit that the crust was a bit too hard for my taste. Yes! It was crispy, but biting through it was somewhat difficult. Overall a good slice, but maybe the dough was off a bit that day. Regardless, Luigi's Pizza is an institution and I will be back again next time I'm in the area. Hopefully, I get a great slice like the ones I remember from the past.

    Grandma slice and regular slice

    Luigi's is by far a superior top notch slice of pizza. What makes Luigi's great is the staff and owner who really takes his craft and his passion serious. The owner even stopped to have a chat with me which as busy as it was I'm sure he really didn't have to. All the videos you see online about how great a person he is really is true. Luigi's isn't he biggest place on the block but it's cranking out amazing pizza like a factory still giving it that old school pizza joint vibe. . The regular slice was perfectly crisp with a nice sauce. But that grandma slice was on another level probably the best grandma slice I've ever had that's should mean something growing up in NYC and eating eating pizza all over since I was a kid. If I'm ever in Brooklyn in the area of Luigi's I'm definitely headed back.

    The quintessential New York slice. My only regret is that Gio wasn't there and I couldn't get a picture with him, the crust, the sauce and the cheese are the perfect combination to eat this every day

    Took a trip into Brooklyn to try this place after seeing such high reviews , ordered a grandma pie and large plain 45 min in advance , upon arrival pies weren't even started asked what happened rude lady at register starts talking about how pies were ready there just being reheated ,it's order to go and nothing is guaranteed in life. So after 20 min of waiting I received 2 pies no apology for forgetting to place order.Pizza is average grandma pie is more of Sicilian like very thick and doughy .

    Ordered for takeout on 05/27/26. Delicious but needed a bit more sauce and cheese for me! Service was quick - cash only. I love how garlicky the grandma slice was. Pizza was not too chewy and did not hurt my jaw after splitting three slices. Ambience - casual, designed for pick up / a quick slice. There was a restroom inside.

    Pure bliss

    SImply outstanding. One of the best slices I've ever had. Luigi's Pizza is often imitated, but never replicated. If you find yourself in New York, you'll find a bunch of "Luigi's" pizzerias. I'm here to tell you there is only one, and it's Luigi's Pizza in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Brooklyn = the greatest country in the world. The pilgrimage to get here was one I'll never forget. I've been following Luigi's online for years. The pizza shop has been in business for over 50 years doing one thing and one thing only, making some of New York's best pizza. The owner, Giovanni, took over the store 20+ years ago from his father, the namesake behind the pizzeria. I've been watching videos of Gio make pizza for years. The way he talks about the shop, work ethic, customers, and the ins and outs of making pizza is something to behold. Took the train from the city to get here on an absolutely grey and bleek winter afternoon. Seeing the iconic signage, the wooden walls, the signs and pictures that look like they've been up since the dawn of time, and basking in the smells of NY style pizza was intoxicating. Regular slices are $3.25. It's the best $3.25 you'll ever spend. This is, without a single bit of hesitation, one of my favorite slices of all time. Many folks can make a good sauce. Many people can use low moisture mozzarella for their pizza. But what makes New York pizza New York pizza comes down to the texture of the dough. The bake and undercarriage if you will. And from one bite, merely one bite alone, you can taste the undeniable difference in crispiness and flavor. To me, this is one of the most iconic NY slices. Have I had them all? Of course not. Can you still find good pizza in other parts of the country? Absolutely you can. But what Gio and his team are doing here is something that's been passed down for generations. And something New Yorkers and east coasters alike have down pat. What a treat to experience Luigi's. Park Slope, I envy you. I will remember this slice for the rest of my life. Spectacular!!!!!

    2 cheese slices and sausage slice
    Ray E.

    I really need to stop following social media good picks. I came after seeing a lot of IG and YouTube videos. I wasn't impressed with the pizza. The plain slices I ordered, the cheese was over done. It wasn't melted and gooey but over cooked. The only saving grace was the crust was crispy and there wasn't any flop but that didn't make the slice any better. Seems like I got slices that was heated up a few times and that's why the top of the cheese was over cooked. The sausage slice had no flavor. And I had high hopes coming here trying what suppose to be great pizza. Oh well. Lesson learned.

    This pizza was fire. Cheap and crispy with great flavor. Definitely mean as hell but when you lowk get verbally abused and ignored, that's when you know the food is gonna be fire. Great stuff.

    Dog that wants pizza

    Luigi's keeps the charm of a classic New York Pizza shop. We devoured the pepperoni + mozzarella slices, and ended up ordering a second round. The flavor and texture of both pizzas came out perfectly, though I wasn't the biggest fan of the crust itself compared to Joe's as it was a bit too crispy for me. The tomato sauce had the right amount of tanginess to it. The service was attentive, and they seem to have plenty of repeat customers based on their interactions. There's a mellow vibe to it, while feeling quite home-y at the same time. The dog waiting patiently outside seemed to want a slice as well.

    Historical Pizza shop!

    So I had this place bookmarked in my heart years back. I mean we're talking about pre covid. That day had finally come to experience the quintessential orange slice. Also I only had one day in Brooklyn so I don't care how full I was. I was squeezing in a few slices before I was going to head back to the hotel. Nothing could stand in my way. In addition this was another location the photo op did not cross my mind. I mean the food was in my hands, bite after bite, sharing each slice with my daughter was a dream come true. So the photo was not taken but boy let me tell you. FLAVOR. This place is a historic institution in the pizza universe. Owned by Giovanni Lanzo the son of Luigi Lanzo. Opened in 1973, this family has been dishing out the best of the best in the South Slope of Brooklyn. Walked in around 6pm to order and it felt like an auction at the door. People had their cash in hand, waiting to pay for that beautiful slice of whatever that was being served that day. Finally, it's my time to order. One grandma and 2 plain please! Have to mention this day, I was completely carb loaded. So my dreams of becoming Mr. Olympia had gone down the drain, REAL QUICK. Felt more like the Michelin man towards that day. But totally worth it. So the pizza shop is a small tight fit eatery that takes you back to the 70s. Retro menu, wooden walls, vintage decor and pizza that will rival any Pizzaiolo toe to toe. Pizza was amazing. I can't say that enough. Perfect flavor. That seasoned oven, the masterful hands of Giovanni putting all the ingredients together have created the fundamentals of what New York pizza is and should be. Plus I was grateful to observe him creating his art before it hit the over. What a site! Grandma slice was phenomenal, that fresh tomato sauce, the parm, the dash of basil oil, and mozzarella. Legendary! And the classic plain aka orange slice was Top tier! Bite after bite I needed more! Extremely thankful to have shared these slices with my daughter. She loved it as much as I did! Bravo to the Lanzo family for keeping this magical tradition of what we all dream to experience alive.

    Came here when I saw bar stool sports. Glad I did BEST pizza in Brooklyn. I had a lot. Nothing compares. Zero flop. Amazing sauce and cheese. Very thin and crunchy. Unique. Price: fair and favorable. Atmosphere: a museum, mind blowing. I feel like I left an attraction Owner makes pizza. A legend. Craftsman. I watched him work. I'm amazed. Never before I saw someone work so fast and create perfect pizza. 6/5, A+++++ Top pizza in Brooklyn. You ain't finding nothing better.

    Half Plain/Half Pepperoni Pie
    Rob S.

    Always saw this spot all over Youtube and Social Media, and was glad to finally get a chance to try it. Small old school joint, cash only (they have an ATM with surcharge) and just a classic experience in beautiful Park Slope Brooklyn. Gio, the owner is a down to earth hard working guy who is always in the building making sure his family legacy and well known slices and pies are up to par! Loved my half plain/half pepperoni pie, was hot out the oven and fresh sauce & great cheese. The crust was perfect and I cannot wait to go back and try more. Called ahead and was promptly served my pie due to the quick and fast service despite the spot's popularity and combination of foodies and regulars.

    Luigi's doesn't call attention to itself. The red doors sit open under a weathered sign. No neon. No slogans. Just a name carved into the rhythm of the block. Inside, it feels like a room preserved in time. Wood paneling. Tin ceiling. A letterboard menu that hasn't blinked since the seventies. A couple of booths, the hum of a fan. That's it. The guys behind the counter don't move fast. They move just right. Dough gets stretched. Sauce gets ladled. Cheese gets scattered. Nothing rushed. Nothing careless. When the slice hits the tray, you can already tell it's going to change your understanding of what great pizza is. We started with a plain cheese slice. From the very tip: crisp. Not crackle. Not snap. Crisp. Sharp, controlled, clean. And then the chew. Not heavy, not doughy. Just that perfect give you only get from dough that's been cared for. The bottom held firm, even browned, no flop. It folded with confidence and held its shape. You could feel the structure in every bite. Then the flavor: sauce and cheese in complete harmony. No line between them. They'd melted into each other. A single, warm, balanced bite. It wasn't showy. It was pure. Alchemy in its quietest, most beautiful form. They didn't have pepperoni when we walked in, just cheese. But ten minutes later, one of the guys walked over to tell us a fresh pie had just come out. That mattered. He didn't have to say anything. He did anyway. We ordered it immediately. It took everything good about the plain slice and turned it up. The pepperoni curled just right, crisp at the edges, oil shimmering in the cups. The same crust. The same chew. Just more. And as we were finishing, they brought over a slice of fresh mozzarella. On the house. No pitch. No words. Just placed it on the tray like it belonged there. That one brought a brighter tomato flavor, softer cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and that same unmistakable crisp right from the tip. We've been skeptical of the "New York is the best pizza" crowd. Usually, we can match what NYC offers back home in Rhode Island, and sometimes beat it. But not this time. Luigi's made us shut up. It made us bend the knee. For the crisp, the chew, the alchemy, and the kind of understated, generous service that proves exactly why some places don't need hype. They just need to exist.

This is the first restaurant we've been to with 20% auto gratuity for a party under 6. But the borderline dishonest part is that the check that you sign tells you in tiny letters that tip was already added, but has huge font for additional tip and written out tip calculations, so it is very easy to tip 40% without noticing. Sometimes I do tip extra generously, but I don't want to feel like I was tricked into doing it! Looking thru reviews here, I see other people also experienced this, including people in small parties who were locked into the 20% when it should have definitely been 18%. :/ So close to a good experience, but ruined by tricksy billing.
