Lo Duca in Newkirk Plaza is one of those very "Brooklyn pizzeria" spots that just works. I stopped in on a weekday and it was the full mix you want to see, kids grabbing a slice after school, people coming off the train, a couple older guys posted up taking their time. It's kinda hectic in a good way, like the place never really turns off. The slice is solid everyday pizza (which is honestly what I'm usually looking for). The sauce is the star here, it's got that nice tangy/sweet thing going on and it doesn't taste flat like some places. Crust is good, not my absolute favorite in the city, but it holds up and you can fold it without everything sliding off, so we're good. Also don't sleep on the specialty slices and it was way better than I expected. Like, I came in for a normal slice and left thinking about that one instead. Not saying it's the single best slice in NYC or whatever (people get too intense about that), but if you want a legit neighborhood pizza spot you can actually go to all the time, Lo Duca totally hits. read more

Lo Duca Pizza - Regular Pie - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've seen this place before and kinda written it off. But was reminded this past weekend. I had the Sicilian grandma square. It was crusty and not overly cheesy. It tasted good cold, which is a pretty good in my book. I did get to sample the chicken slice I believe. It looked like a deep dish pizza at first glance, but alas it was was too much dough for me. I'm looking forward to trying a regular slice. Surely for research read more

THANK YOU! read more

I only wish they delivered. Because then it would be easier to get their delicious pizza. Also, the honey siracha wings deserve a special shout out. Tip: be sure to check their IG page for daily pizza flavor specials. read more

By far one of my favorite Pizza spots in Brooklyn. This is my 3rd time here. Twice two years ago & came back once again 3 weeks ago. This is a nice local spot to have some pizza. It's located on the strip by the subway station. The staff is always friendly & they make you feel like you're at home. All the slices I've ordered were delicious and fresh. My favorite slice was the one that had pepperoni, sausage & ham on it. Great undercarriage & great thin crust. The sauce to cheese ratio was on point. None of the slices I've tried were greasy or floppy. I'm very picky when it comes to pizza & some places barely put marinara sauce onto their pizza. Who wants to eat pizza with very little sauce? Not me. I like that they allow you to bring drinks from next door. You can't go wrong with fresh squeeze juice and pizza to go with it. Overall, it was a great experience, this will be my go to spot every time I go to Brooklyn. One bite everybody knows the rules & I give it a 9.2. read more

Love this place! It's been around forever and the food is always fresh and delicious. Got my favorite shrimp parmigiana (sorry no picture). It was so delicious and plentiful. The Nutella bites were sinfully delicious. The staff is always nice and accommodating. The only down side is they don't do delivery. read more

Yum. Best pizzeria in the hood. Always consistently good and reasonably priced. Interesting kinds also. Wish they had delivery though!! read more

My husband and I wanted to grab a slice before heading to the city. He vaguely remembered this place from years back and it did NOT disappoint. He got two slices & I tried their lasagna slice -- the dollops of ricotta drew me in. Both were excellent. The crust was perfect. The sauce to cheese ratio was great. And they really packed on the meat & cheese on my lasagna slice. The bolognese tasted like they simmered it all day. Convenient location as it's right outside a subway stop. Servers are friendly as well. read more

Great pizza, many varieties, the classic cheese slice is old school fantastic! Wonderful staff too.

I love the pizza! In fact, they use a brick oven instead of a modern oven which is PERFECT for pizza. Also, they have a wide variety of soda. read more

Was highly recommended by my coworker, so I was really excited to try Lo Duca pizza. It's on top on the Newkirk Plaza subway station, which was really convenient. The pizza was delicious, cooked perfectly, and the right size. The only reason I don't give it five stars is I like my pepperoni spicer and a little more sauce on the pie. But that's a personal preference, still a delicious slice that I highly recommend! read more

Good pizza, good service, can't ask for anything else.i came here because of the reviews and I wasn't disappointed.

Thin crust, light cheese, and loaded with veggies surprisingly light but still flavorful. It didn't leave me feeling heavy,. Great for a quick lunch. read more

The Hawaiian pizza had that sweet-salty combo I love. Pineapple was juicy, and the ham wasn't too salty. It's a classic for a reason!

My go to spot in Midwood since my co-worker introduced me here back in 2014-2015. Love their shrimmp pizzas. Would suggest getting Pepperoni with Pineapple. Also the chickens rolls since it's fresh made however takes 15-20 minutes. Located right when you get out Newkirk B/Q subway stop. read more

Really solid New York style pizza. And priced very well. They have some interesting toppings and pies but honestly the cheese is the best.

This place is a staple in Brooklyn. The food is amazing, I don't think I've had one bad thing from here. The service is great, quick and accurate every single time. The ambiance is very nice as well, they offer seats to dine in and clear lines for pick up or order in-store. They also have a rest room for customers. read more

Lo Duca Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great family-owned pizzeria right in the midst of Newkirk Plaza, perfect for a quick slice when getting off the subway. The quality here is always consistent and they have a nice variety of toppings. Crust texture is your classic NY slice. They do not deliver, but I think they are by far the beat choice around this neighborhood, so I'll make the extra walk to pick up a whole pie. They have a credit card minimum so bring cash if you're just getting a slice. read more

Good thin pizza, even late at night! My friend and I got here a little bit before closing time. There was a decent selection even though it was like 8:30 and they close at 9. I chose a classic pepperoni slice and my friend got the grandma slice. My friend has been here before and said they have lots of selection, fresh, midday so definitely worth coming for lunch or a midday snack. They quickly reheated our slices and boxed it, and as we paid mentioned they popped in an extra slice since the one they gave us was on the small side. So nice!!!!!!!! :) such a convenient location too right by the B/Q Newkirk train if your train is taking a while to come. read more

Good service cool in store environment but the pizza is very mid ...bread is fresh and cooked properly but the sauce n cheese wasn't so good ..6/10 if I had to rate it..I rather walk to di farra for a better slice tbh read more

Like so many liminal spaces in New York, the pizzeria is a great equalizer. People of all backgrounds, personalities and socio-economic classes can rally around a good slice. I hold up Lo Duca as a prime example of a classic, true Brooklyn pizzeria. On a Friday afternoon I found the place bumpin' with middle schoolers elbowing each other for a slice, people getting off from work, and retirees casually enjoying their midday meal. The guys behind the counter, who are the same guys who have worked here for the last decade move quickly, heating up slices, taking orders, collecting payment. Aside from the usual slices you'll find at any pizzeria, they have an excellent shrimp with a creamy sriracha vodka sauce slice that is to die for. Their sicilian is also solid. The sauce is their strong point and is worth going out of your way for. The bread isn't the best pizza bread in my opinion, but that's totally up for debate. Nothing will get a Brooklynite to debate like a debate about where to get the best slice is. read more

Lo Duca Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It's so hard debating pizza with people especially in Brooklyn. No other place will have me walking two miles in the summer sun for a slice. Yes it's that good. Then you are welcomed with a cold blast of A/C and more likely a long line of people watching the pizza through the glass or staring up at the menu. Over 9 years no hippy decor just great pizza and great service. Margherita Monday (when I see a long week ahead) and White Pizza Friday with some spinach to act like I'm being healthy. The mozzarella, ricotta, garlic, and olive oil just float through the box to great you. Don't be surprised if you see someone in the shade with an open box. read more

Average slice for an average price. $6.50 for two slices and a bottle of water is like the old days, or just when you want something easy. Would I recommend this pizza joint? Maybe. The crust is crispy, there is plenty of cheese (my hands were covered in it when I finished), and there is plenty of herbs on this slice to end the Black Death. The guys were also pretty friendly. Would I run back here for more? No. I honestly think this is a good slice to grab before heading home after a busy workday, or if you live in the neighborhood. Otherwise, if you miss this one, you will not be missing much. read more

My Local neighborhood pizza shop. - this is by far the best standard nyc Pizza slice in the neighborhood (Flatbush- Ditmas Park /Midwood) and I might even say BK !! They don't deliver but totally worth the trip to pick up The grandma /Sicilian is perfection!! read more

Everyone has their favorite pizza places, and Lo Duca is one of mine. And this place is well-named because they treat their customers like royalty. Whether you're a first timer or have been coming here for years, you will feel warmly welcome. Over several years, I have tried their slices and hot heroes and can easily recommend both. The combination of tasty food and a neighborhood atmosphere keeps Lo Duca on my rotation. read more

The cheese pizza slice was ok but the tomato peppers slice was AMAZING! The service was professional and there was a decent size eating area. The table areas could've used some cleaning up (napkins and pizza crust) but the place was fairly clean and well lit. If I was ever in the area again I would definitely go back for that slice alone!!! read more

Lo Duca Pizza - Tomato peppers pie. Delicious!!! - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The pizzas looked incredible on display . This place has a large selection of thick crust pizzas like Sbarros. Instead of getting the bigger bang for my buck with those, I chose the BBQ chicken slice and a Margherita slices both standard Italian sized crust. The BBQ chicken slice was good only for a few bites before the sweetness of the BBQ sauce became unbearable . That was the only issue I had with that slice . The chicken itself was good and the crust and cheese beneath the chicken was also good . The Margherita slice on the other hand was really well balanced and flavorful with the subtle basil toppings . Will definitely return to try the larger crust pizzas to finalize an opinion on this restaurant . read more

My family recommended this place; they've been coming here for years. We were a party of 11 and was fortunate to have the tables available. First off, the staff was friendly! The garlic bread was really good. They use fresh garlic and the bread was toasted just right. This was the NY style pizza I have missed all these years. It checked off all the boxes. Foldable cheese pizza, enough grease that makes you go .. oh deng.. yup, uhummm. I have a short NY visit so I hope I can go back tomorrow. Thank you Lo Duca! You fulfilled my NY pizza dreams. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. So much better than Di Fara in many ways. 1) the people here are genuinely nice and -want- to give good service. 2) the pizza is outstanding. If you like your square pies burnt and teeth-breaking tough, go to Di Fara. Here, the crust is light and crisp, and the pie itself is full of flavor, with the right proportions of sauce and cheese. 3) your maximum wait time is 20-25 minutes versus 60+ minutes 4) you pay $21.00 for a delicious fresh pie that comes out relatively quickly versus $34.00 for a burnt pie that comes out after a demoralizingly long wait with nowhere to sit 5) the kitchen and counter are fantastically well-run. They keep everything rolling with efficient communication just through taking orders by phone 6) they pick up the phone and talk to you when you call 7) they remember who you are and smile I love Lo Duca. Hope my list helps others see why. read more

Great pizza. Tremendous variety. Prompt service. Everything you need. No delivery but totally worth picking-up to take home.

As someone who eats pizza every day I can safely say this is one of the best slices you will find, if not the best.

I'm giving this place a two-star rating because last time I ate here, both myself and my partner got sick from their food. Also, the Penne Shrimp Fradiavolo was such a TERRIBLE dish, that I really wish I wouldn't have wasted money on it. There was virtually no shrimp, and was an utter disappointment, and that's putting it nicely. Except for the Ziti and Spaghetti and Meatballs, their pasta dishes are mediocre at best. The eggplant parmigiana is also a joke, because for what very little eggplant they do give, it is not even fresh; it's old and rotted. Their specialty-slices are so overly expensive, that it just isn't worth getting them. The saving-grace for them, which is the reason why I gave them more than one star, is the fact that their Ziti dish is only $11. read more

Excellent on all counts. Authentic, delicious. Many specialty varieties. Quality ingredients. Clean,updated seating area. Very dedicated behind-the-counter personnel. They really know how to fabricate mouth-watering product. Good choice of beverages. Reasonable prices. Grandma pizza, multi-meat pizza, " upside down" pizza with sauce on top of cheese all especially recommended. read more

I feel very lucky to live in the neighborhood of Lo Duca. I have never had a bad slice here. and you know it's going to be really good when all the guys behind the counter are blood relatives and look the same. You have one guy dedicated to stretching and topping pies. Another guy is dedicated to the register and taking care of customers. Another guy watching the pies in the oven, and so on. It is truly a beautiful and old-school operation to experience but most importantly, taste! The pizza is some of the best I've had in all 5 boroughs. Not only do they nail their classics (cheese, pepperoni, sicilian, margarita) but their specialty slices are just as good. And we're not talking just buffalo chicken. No, we're talking Thai Chile CALAMARI (!!!), Supreme, Honey Siracha Chicken, and even a Chopped Cheese pizza. It's a pretty amazing operation, steps from the Newkirk Plaza B/Q subway, and most importantly, they're here for the community. If you can make the trip out for Di Fara, you can certainly include a pit-stop at Lo Duca. read more
