    Barbecue BBQ Chicken Pizza White Pizza Slice with Garlic Chicken ranch pizza
    Quyen H.

    A neighborhood gem!! I seriously would eat Luigi's everyday!! I've tried every slice of theirs on display and each single one was SO GOOD. Service is always fast as well and there's standing tables to enjoy your pizza or you can takeaway!

    So much hype around this place and the story is very cool. The owner is present and works his tail off which I respect. I tried the sicilian and the grandma. I also tried the plain. The grandma has a good crunch to it. The sicilian is thicker and is good but not earth shattering. Plain is a solid straightforward nyc slice. Don't get my wrong it is good pizza but not destination pizza in my opinion. Solid if you are in the area. I hate to say it but its overrated. 4 stars instead of 5.

    Bbq chicken pizza
    Austin S.

    Stopped by because I wanted to quick slice of some New York pie. The name was Luigi so one of 2 things were true: this is real deal authentic, or a gimmicky name to lure folks in. I am still unsure which it is. The pie was pretty good. I got a bbq chicken slice. Unconventional, I know. The bbq sauce was honestly good, it was sweet with a good tang. The fried chicken atop the pie did not taste fresh. It was dry and rubbery. Not a whole lot going on at this little shop. I think it is pretty cool though. It feels like a place to get a solid NY slice, maybe I am in the wrong for getting bbq chicken (lol). It was slightly crispy. The crust was great with the sweetness of the bbq. I really enjoyed that. All in all, a nice hole in the wall if you're looking for that!

    Solid pizza, but nothing to go and tell this audience, "HEY EVERYONE, YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!" Because honestly, please do not come out of your way to eat slices from here. Please, I implore you not to. It is not worth it. The slices are not bad, the sauce is nice, but the slice is overly cheesed and that is what ruins it. The crust is also slightly undercooked, needing a little more time in the oven. At least the slices are fairly cheap. The better Luigi's is in Park Slope. This is not the Luigi's you are looking for.

    Margherita Pizza slice

    A small takeout window with a couple of tables and no chairs placed outside (the line nearby was for tables at a corner cafe). They were not ready with pizza when I arrived just past their opening time, so I wouldn't come in a rush. When I did order a margherita slice, mine arrived piping hot and full of flavor. I think it needed a bit more basil as a margherita, but the texture of the crust and the richness of the cheese certainly left an impression. There are plenty of places in this world where you can't get a decent slice of pizza, I hate to inform the New Yorkers, and this satisfied as a quick diversion for me.

    If you're looking for amazing pizza in Brooklyn , Luigi's did NOT disappoint. Living in LA have deprived me of my pizza. So I had to stop by Luigi. It's a storefront but they have a tall bar table outside for you to enjoy your pizza. My friend and I ordered cheese and Margherita pizza. The crunch factor. The cheese. Divine. The pizza was super fresh. And the staff were super duper nice. Especially when my card was acting up, they were very nice and even offered to let me get my pizza for free. But third time was the charm

    I missed my turn to go to my regular pizzeria to pick up a slice since I'd skipped lunch today. So while I was waiting at a stop light. I looked at my list and lo and behold. Luigi's was right around the corner. I found parking quickly out front. By the looks of things, this place is a staple in the area. My food was done in less than 5 minutes, and it came out bubbling hot. 350th slice and I was on my way.I took a bite, and it was delicious. It's great to know that I have options in the neighborhood. It's definitely a hidden gem that I didn't know that I needed. I'll see you again soon, Luigi's!

    Margherita Pizza, White Pizza Slice with Garlic
    Jina P.

    Luigi's is probably my favorite pizza by the slice spot in the area. You order by the counter and then pay when the pizza is heated up. There's no proper seating but there are a couple of tables where you can stand and eat. On a busy day, it might be full so it's not ideal. In terms of the slices themselves, they are always pretty crispy but not burnt, and the quality is definitely there. Are they the best pizza in the city? No. But I think the sauce and crust are usually pretty good and it's always reliable when you need a quick bite!

    Pesto and Pepperoni Pizza Slice

    One of the best slices of pizza I've had. You can taste the freshness in their ingredients. It's thin and toasty. The restaurant and the people feel very homey.

    Double parked for pizza!
    Michelle S.

    Literally pulled over and popped up to the window to order a few slices. It was around $16 for 3 speciality slices and 1 plain, so on the pricier side. The pineapple pizza was so flavorful, the Buffalo was perfectly spicy and all the pizzas were crispy! Delicious slices!

    Mozzarella slice
    Lindsey O.

    Great pizza! I had just come from 3 Luigis intending to try both and do a comparison (although I got different types so I guess it wasn't totally apples to apples). I got the mozzarella cheese pizza and it came out hot, fresh, and tasty. Of the two, this was the better spot. There was very friendly service, even though it's definitely a busy spot - there was quite a line of people waiting. You order up at the counter and there's a couple standing tables nearby but it's really a grab and go spot. I'll go back for sure.

    All this time I thought I had been eating excellent pizza; That was until I discovered luigis! Omg soo cheesy, so saucy, so fresh so yummy. It's the perfect balance of moistness and crispiness. They have it down to a science!

    Standard-Issue Nostalgia with a Side of Rushed Hospitality…read more If you enjoy paying in time rather than digital convenience, Lucali's reservation process is a masterclass in performative nostalgia. Arriving at 2 PM to stand in a line for two hours just to get on a list for a 7 PM seating doesn't make the place feel exclusive, it makes it feel like a punishment. But hey, we got a table, so the sacrifice was supposed to be worth it. It wasn't. Lucali is BYOB, which is fine in theory. My party brought two bottles of prosecco, fully prepared for a cozy, rustic evening. The server kindly offered to pop the first bottle, then brought out our glassware: heavy, standard water glasses, fresh out of the commercial dishwasher and literally piping hot. There is a special kind of absurdity in pouring crisp, ice-cold prosecco into a glass that feels like it was just pulled from the depths of hell. To top it off, nobody offered to keep our second bottle chilled. Minor detail, sure, but for a place with this level of cult status, the low-effort service immediately set the tone. To give credit where it's due, the ambiance is legitimately cool. It's dimly lit, atmospheric, and feels like step-back-in-time Brooklyn kitchen. Watching the pizza makers roll out dough using empty wine bottles before shoving them into the roaring brick oven gives off that warm, "Nonna's kitchen" charm. You want to love it. Then the food arrives, and the illusion shatters. Our server gave us the bare minimum rundown: "We have pizza, calzones, and tonight's special pasta." Zero detail, zero enthusiasm. We ordered the pizza and the calzone. The pizza was... fine. Completely fine. But calling this the best pizza in New York feels like collective mass delusion. If you've been to L'Industrie or Mama's Too, Lucali isn't even in the same stratosphere. Then came the calzone, which was allegedly stuffed with five cheeses. The server proudly named four, withholding the fifth as a "secret ingredient." A mystery cheese angle might be fun if the calzone blew your mind, but by the time I took a bite, the gimmick just felt tired. It was a perfectly average calzone wrapped in high-end gatekeeping. The grand finale, however, was the absolute kicker. Just under an hour into our meal, after overhearing the hostess realize she'd botched the table rotation, our server came over with an update: they had overbooked and needed our table. Her gracious solution? "You're welcome to pour the rest of your prosecco into your glasses and finish it outside!" The remaining, warm, prosecco that is... Let's recap the math: two hours waiting on a sidewalk at 2 PM, five hours of waiting for the reservation time, warm glasses for cold bubbles, middle-of-the-road pizza, and a boot out the door in under sixty minutes because they messed up their own seating chart. Disgraceful hospitality masked as old-school Brooklyn charm. If you love mediocre food, lukewarm prosecco in burning hot glassware, and being rushed out to the curb, Lucali is waiting for you. As for me, I won't be back.

She's sweet. She's funny. Makes me feel right at home. I asked for one slice of Knicks pizza but I wanted pepperoni on there. They said it didn't come with pepperoni, but the owner was sitting there like "you know what since you asked for it we'll do it for you." It's like I was heaven and was told Ask and you shall receive, we just want you to be happy! Now, I don't know what sort of crack cocaine they put in this Knicks pizza but it had vodka sauce and ricotta, hot honey olive oil and I think a pesto drizzle. Oh my Jesus Christ this was the best pizza I've ever had in my entire life. Savory, a lil sweet, saucy. Lisa was right, don't need ranch for this at all. Also loved the white pie. I'm so sad because I had to leave New York the next day but days later I am still thinking about this pizza. I am still thinking about sweet Lisa and just how warm and welcomed I was in the few minutes I spent in this restaurant. I'm still thinking about how delicious this slice was!!! I cannot recommend enough, 10 out of 10 you won't regret it. Tell Lisa the girl who asked for ranch and she responded "that's sacrilegious"sent you.

Personally, I would not rate this pizza anywhere near a 9.3, especially considering how many great pizza options there are in Brooklyn. That being said, it is still a good slice and worth trying. I just don't think it quite lives up to the hype or the exceptionally high rating it has received.

Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered a glass of wine, a beer, an arugula salad, and our main food order. Everything started out fine, and the salad came without a problem. But then we waited. And waited. About 30 minutes after we had ordered, I asked our waiter where our food was. He apologized and admitted that he had forgotten to put the order in. By that point, we had already watched other tables receive their food, including people who had arrived well after us. We continued waiting, and after roughly 40 minutes or more, our food still had not arrived. At that point, the dining experience was already ruined and we decided to leave. Ironically, just as we were getting ready to go, the food finally started coming out. I told them we no longer wanted it. The waiter did apologize again and offered us a pizza to take with us, which I assume was complimentary, but by then we were simply ready to leave. Even paying the bill became unnecessarily drawn out. We were charged the full amount for the salad, beer, and wine. I sat with a $50 bill ready to pay, was handed the check, and then ended up standing around for another five minutes waiting for someone to actually take the money. There was no apology from the person handling the payment. I understand that mistakes happen, and I appreciated that our waiter admitted he had forgotten to place the order. But when a restaurant makes that kind of mistake, the recovery matters. After waiting that long, watching later-arriving customers get served, and then having difficulty simply paying and leaving, an apology and a pizza at the very end didn't really fix the experience. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I can't say the service lived up to the restaurant's reputation.

    Brooklyn DOP is a prime example of what happens when a pandemic lockdown, a dough obsession, and an…read moreinability to sit still all collide. We visited as a stop on Scott's Pizza Bus Tour, which meant we were actively evaluating it against some of the best pizza in the city. Evaluating pizza on a tour is tricky because excellence becomes relative when you are eating multiple high-end pies in a single afternoon. According to Scott, Brooklyn DOP began in founder Thomas Ardito's apartment during the 2020 lockdowns. With his primary work on pause, he started baking pizza and selling pies through Instagram to pay his rent. People kept ordering. His friend Jason D'Amelio joined the effort, and what started as an apartment project turned into pop-ups and eventually a brick-and-mortar shop on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. That is a considerably more compelling origin story than a corporate franchise business plan. The setup in Park Slope includes a quiet back courtyard, which offered a comfortable spot for our group to sit, eat, and recover between stops. It feels relaxed and distinctly Brooklyn without trying too hard to remind you where you are. The pizza itself is very good. The crust strikes a proper balance between a crisp bottom and a chewy interior. The toppings are handled with care, from the crushed tomatoes to the fresh mozzarella. This is dough crafted by people who take fermentation seriously rather than relying on pre-packaged shortcuts. On its own merits, the pizza is a solid 4.5 stars. Unfortunately for Brooklyn DOP, it was competing on a tour against places operating on another plane. It is an excellent pie, but it was not the single slice that caused the entire tour to fall silent in collective awe. Still, that is an aggressive standard to hold against any local shop. Brooklyn DOP offers a great courtyard, a serious approach to dough, and a standout product. Landing just shy of five stars says far more about the sheer volume of elite pizza we ate that day than it does about the shop itself. Four stars. And if you are not spending the afternoon riding around New York with Scott Wiener eating pizza at some of the finest pizza joints the 5 boroughs have to offer, you can probably bump that half-star back up.
