Get the . Plenty of regulars say it beats the , and the is the one they name. The is thin with a sweet sauce, though critics call the crust a flavorless cracker. The real cost is the wait. You show up around 4pm to put your name down and come back hours later. It's BYOB.

  • The pizza is pretty good, but there is so much great pizza in NYC, in almost any neighborhood that it's just not worth the pain in the ass. I personally consider Lucali to be one of the most overrated places out there.

  • I absolutely love their pizza and calzone. Crust is so thin and fluffy and the sauce just the perfect sweetness.

  • Went to lucali and it was just mediocre I guess. Toppings were nice but hard to mae cheese shallots and pepperoni taste bad. Nothing about the sauce or crust/dough was memorable to me. Crust was like a cracker and dry. Not my favorite pizza by any means.

  • replying to u/Sorrypenguin0: Good list — I find that most people who say Lucali can’t be *that* good just haven’t been there

    Lucali is NOT that good. It's just not. Now I'm not saying it sucks, because it is good pizza, but it's absolutely not special

  • Lucali’s sauce is pretty tasty and they use premium ingredients, but I have no idea why they roll the pizza with a wine bottle. It takes the air out and makes the crust like a cracker.

  • No matter how it looks, it’s the best pizza in NY for me.

  • Their dough/crust is like a flavorless cracker to me. Might as well be on matzoh. If you dropped me down here w no context on the hype, it would be completely unmemorable and I wouldn’t bother to go back.

    The pizza was good, but one of three worst experiences I ever had.
