replying to u/spageddy_lee: Lucali always had a wait, but there was no line to put your name down 2 hours before they open because all the tables are booked by 5 pm until that m*********er David Chang put it in season 1 episode 1 of his Netflix show.
“Their owner is the brother of the Lucalis owner and the pizza is exactly the same, except without the insane lines. Both are incredible pizza.”

“I think Giuseppina's is perfect for getting your “Lucali pie” fix without all the planning and waiting etc. That’s the purpose it served for us. But ultimately it’s all a tier down from Lucali”

replying to u/Appropriate-Tie-6524: I don't think Lucali serves lunch. Plus, f*ck Lucali, they're assholes. Pizza is not worth the trip.... Except... It's semi close to hometown BBQ, who does serve lunch. Nowon's burger is super mid. Similar, but not as good as Emily's burger. And Emily serves a banging pizza.
“Giuseppina's is \*extremely\* similar to Lucali. I guess I get going if you are only here for a few days and really want to experience it, but I fail to see how it ascends to something unforgettable.”

“It’s owned by the brother of the Lucali’s owner and is the same exact amazing pizza- just without the ridiculous line. In all seriousness, Lucali doesn’t have anything on Giuseppina’s, but it’s because both are incredible and damn near identical pizza.”

replying to u/ouikikazz: The amount of stress to get a Lucalli table isn't worth the squeeze, show up early wait in line to be told come back at 830/9p... WTF don't get me wrong the pizza itself is great but add in the wait I can't do it
