Sometimes I'll get their lunch special (2 plain slices and a can for $6.50) However, my biggest issue with Lucia's is that the slices are ALWAYS floppy and sometimes even soggy. If I'm eating there, I always ask for it to be heated extra hot so that the undercarriage/crust crisps up. If I'm taking it to go, I get it cold, so I can reheat it myself at home on a cast iron in the oven at 500F. Inside is a no frills, normal pizzeria, with quick service. There are a few tables. They also have standard kitchen food that you would expect at a pizzeria. Definitely recommend, just ask for your slices to be heated extra hot to get a pizza undercarriage that isn't floppy.

We debated where to go and on Jeannie's recommendation, we ended up at Picciotto! This turned out to be a fantastic choice! As an appetizer, we started off sharing a wood fired Prosciutto Pizza ($21) with shaved Parmesan cheese, mozzarella and Arugula. Outstanding!! This was my fave dish of the night! I usually like my pizza super thin and crispy. This pizza was neither super thin nor crispy at all ...and I LOVED it! The crust had a fantastic chew to it, and all the fresh ingredients just melded together perfectly. Recommended! I would return just for this pizza alone! Next, we shared 3 entrees and a dessert: -- Lasagna Bolognese ($20): there was a generous amount of meat in the bechamel beef ragu, and this was delicious! -- Eggplant Rollatini ($20): the eggplant was thinly sliced and stacked more than actually rolled but great nonetheless. Tasty dish! -- Veal al Limone ($22): this came with a side of roasted potatoes. The lemony buttery sauce went really well with the veal and potatoes! -- Mini Cannolis (4pcs/$8): You could tell by the first bite that these Cannolis were made fresh! The Cannoli cream was delicate and not overly sweet. The shell was fresh and crispy. Everything you'd want in a Cannoli! This was the perfect end to our birthday dinners! Customer service was warm and friendly. We lingered in the restaurant for quite a while, and were never pressured to leave. Parking can be challenging but parking is doable if you drive a few blocks. Bonus: live music on Saturdays!! Can't wait to return for that Prosciutto Pizza!!

(Yeah it all depends on how much you eat in a sitting and for us, this was just great). Food was fresh, focaccia bread was warmed. Two other employees came to speak to us just to make sure everything was as we expected. All we could say was everything was perfect. Oh and we had no room for dessert but took a cannoli 'to go'. What a sweet presentation. And talk about fresh cream and a crispy shell!!! The best cannoli I've ever eaten. Bravo guys. We'll be back

I was thinking of getting a personal size pizza this evening and I was craving Mushrooms, so I…read moreordered from the Parlor which is related to Gino's Pizza Parlor in Roslyn. The order came within 20 minutes of ordering. The pizzetta was well done and held up the toppings very well. Was it the best I've ever had, no, I've had better Truffle/Mushroom pies at places like Diamond Slice and L'Industrie. But let me emphasize that the pizza was not bad at all, I felt that those pizzerias did it a bit better and their ingredients felt more balanced. Most importantly, is this pizzeria a travel worthy place to travel long distances to get to; no. But it is well placed for this area of Queens and there are ton of options to order from on the menu that I would have liked more. If they had the clam pie and had it at this size, I'd prefer it more. And if my gastritis would go away please, their regular looks good like the location in Roslyn. To conclude, the Parlor is a good neighborhood pizzeria that has good credentials and good food and you won't go wrong with either ordering out or dining in.

The portions here are remarkably massive, and you can tell they don't skimp on quality. The chef even brought out a complimentary plate of their fresh, garlic-infused dough bites just to welcome us. As for the pizza--wow. The crust had the perfect balance of crispy exterior and light, airy interior, loaded with top-tier, fresh ingredients. Every single bite was pure perfection. It is incredibly rare to find a spot that serves world-class food while maintaining such a generous, community-first spirit. They genuinely care about making sure you leave full, happy, and taken care of. My dad's friend was 100% right--we will absolutely be regulars here. 10/10, highly recommend!

It's similar in style to Artichoke Basille's Pizza, but not as rich or creamy. Margherita: Underwhelming. Nothing really stood out and I've definitely had better elsewhere. That said, I'd still go back just for the plain slice. You really can't go wrong with it. It's a thumbs up for me!

The prix fixe menu was excellent from beginning to end. For appetizers, my mom had the burrata with heirloom tomatoes, and my sister and I had Nonna's meatballs, which were delicious. My sister had the rigatoni, my mom had the salmon, and I had the short rib of beef, which melted in my mouth like butter -- that's how tender the meat was. For dessert, I had the cannoli's while my mom and sister enjoyed the chocolate lava cake. Everything was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The bathrooms were also nice and clean, which is always a plus. My family and I will definitely be coming back again -- even if it's just to stop in for a lychee martini and the grilled octopus, one of my favorite meals. Highly recommend for a family dinner, date night, or casual night out

We were each provided with an iPad to access the menu and were given a basket of freshly baked bread with an oil spread to start. We ordered the prosciutto and buratta pizza, the spaghetti with clams, the veal ossobucco, and the spicy brussel sprouts. I really enjoyed the free bread, which was warm and crispy on the outside. The oil spread was spiced very well and reminded me of pesto sauce. The prosciutto and buratta pizza came out first and was topped with tons of arugula. The pizza was light and crispy. Each slice was balanced and very enjoyable. I loved the oil from the free bread that we asked for more to drizzle onto the pizza. The entrees came out next along with our side of spicy brussel sprouts. I was quite disappointed with them since I expected the brussel sprouts to be roasted and crispy, but they were quite soggy and certainly not spicy at all. The spaghetti with clams had a nice presentation. The dish was briney from the clams and had very clean and simple flavors. The veal ossobucco was pretty big and was served with polenta and mushrooms. I enjoyed the flavors but the dish was too heavy for my taste. The veal was tender and had the perfect amount of fatty bits. Overall I enjoyed the pizza and the free bread the most from this meal. I hope to visit again to try another pizza.
