I have a great love for this place because it was the first joint I ever had pizza in during my first trip to New York. The price was right and it was good enough to get me hooked to NY pizza. I tried several places after this. Those ended up being better, but for a much higher price. This definitely hits the spot. Nice guys, too. read more

Luigi's Pizza - My boyfriend offering me pepperoni and sausage slices - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Luigi's is legendary. This is one of my favorite spots to stop into when I'm in Brooklyn. They're so busy so pies are always fresh. The owner himself said, "the day someone can't afford pizza is the day I'll be out of the business." With that being said, they're priced generously and the pizza is solid. There's always a crunch to the dough. Definitely suggest stopping in to grab a slice. read more

Luigi's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is very easily one of the best slices of pizza you'll have in your life. Luigi's Pizza is a fantastic small pizza shop that serves great simple pizza. You could easily continue to heap compliments and praise on the place, but that's been done in a variety of outlets. One simply has to see the dedication to quality in the small menu that rejects toppings in favor of making excellent pizza that shines on its own. There are likely gripes that the restaurant is cash only (an ATM is in store), but arguably it's part of the charm and simplicity of the store (and saves money for everyone). Long story short, this is the quintessential Italian-American New York City pizza restaurant. If you find yourself in the neighborhood it's the perfect choice for pizza. read more

Best pizza I've ever had! I loved the square slice. Insanity. The bottom is crispy but the middle is fluffy and airy. It's crazy. Never had anything like it. Amazing tomato sauce. If I could, I would shrink myself down to a small size and dive onto it like a bed and stay there forever. The regular slice was also super great! Marisa, the daughter of Luigi, was so nice to us. She chatted with us about pizza and even gave us a free slice of the mozzarella pizza to try. My brother was obsessed with that one. Very very delicious. Amazing crust. CHEAP slices! $2.75 each. You can't beat that. If I lived closer I'd go every day. read more

Such a lovely feelings of nostalgia when taking a bite of this pizza. It brought be back to my childhood , summer nights playing kickball outside in the street. Sauce had strong but not overwhelming taste of oregano, cheesy and the crust was not too thick and not too thin. I definitely finished both slices of pizza. They are old school and I love it. read more

I did not like the pizza at all. Idk how people gave this place 5 stars they must have no taste in food. Old school look and service was cool but the pizza was no good. I would never come back. read more

Luigi's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was going to leave 3 stars but after seeing everyone else's pictures I truly feel I got gypped. I came to visit Luigi's because it's such a "hot spot". No, the pizza is NOT the best in Brooklyn or NYC or anything. I doubt it's even the best in the zip code since there's about 30 other places. I drove here all the way from Manhattan. Firstly, the slices they gave me were TINY. The Sicilian square slice measured 3x3 inches. I think something went wrong there... it looked like they cut one slice in half. The other 2 slices were over cooked. The cheese was brown and nothing special. I had one slice to stay and 2 Sicilians and one plain to go. So disappointed! I'm seeing everyone others photos and it looks like they actually may have cut one Sicilian square in half. I've never seen such a tiny slice! Not to mention it all cost $11 CASH ONLY. I wouldn't come here for anything again. When I'm in Manhattan, Gotham Pizza has better pizza AND better deals with their lunch special. On the second time I went to South Slope, I found a great little place that has nice, clean seating and friendly staff a few blocks up from Luigi's called Peppinos. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere there much more! read more

Luigi's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Very good pizza! A real New York slice. Might be the best pizza in America. Official classic pizza!

I tried the grandma and the mozz pizza. The grandma had a nice crunchy crust at the end. The mozz pizza was not fresh at all and looked like it had been sitting there for quite sometime. Really affordable slices. I would come back here if friends wanted to and if the slices were a lot fresher. read more

I can't believe I hadn't heard about Luigis sooner! This pizza is top-tier, quick, and so affordable! We had four slices for under 13 bucks. Genuinely the cheese pizza, especially when warm was SOOOO so crispy, better than Joe's in my opinion. I probably will never be back at Joe's because Luigis is where it's at! Men at the counter are fast and sweet. Gio was there and he was just the nicest making sure everyone got their slices. he is JUST iconic. The pizza with the mozzarella on top was my favorite. I think the square slices were very good, they kind of tasted like a focaccia bread, very thick and crispy cut. I asked for the corner slices because I love to have a handle on my pizza. The sauce was a little bit tangy. I enjoyed the regular triangle slice is the best! 5/5 and way affordable :))) read more

Luigi's Pizza - Fresh Mozzarella On Top , cheese slice - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is the classic new york slice. Quintessential brooklyn old school slice shop. The old school vibe makes we me filled with nostalgia. The workers are warm but firm. They are quick making a pie in less then 10mins while being pretty busy prime dinner time hours. The crust is perfectly crispy and brown with no flop sauce is tangy and sweet with a touch of parmagan cheese. The price is very good with comparable pies being up to 10 dollars higher which im sure this working clasd brooklyn neighborhood is very happy about. The fresh mozz slice is a must have as well with a refreshing punch and taste which I highly reccomend. read more

Luigi's Pizza - Half pep pie - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

On another episode of, is this worth the TikTok hype, my boyfriend suggested this place for lunch after seeing it online. We actually ventured to this place, which I don't recommend unless you are in the area. The place was small but packed, with seating outdoors and indoors. Cash only! It was cool to see the owner from the videos, in person, continuing to make the pizzas himself. He knew the prices right away compared to the other workers, who seemed new. We got the Sicilian ($2.75) because the Supreme was sold out, and one of the workers recommended it. Just from the looks, I didn't think I would like the slice, but tried it in case it tasted different from how it looked. Unfortunately, it tasted just like the school cafeteria's, but with more crisp to the crust. The Pepperoni ($3.50) was your New York slice, so you're getting more cheese, but the taste is just average. The sauce and cheese mixed with pepperoni made this particularly salty than what I'm used to. The Mozzarella ($3.50) was our favorite, although it was only heated to a lukewarm. The pesto and mozzarella splatters made me curious in wanting to make this creation on my own! One thing to note is the pizza is exceptionally crispy and chewy!! I was having jaw exercises over here with the crust. No one should be putting in this much work! The crispiness was also way too crispy, that it felt like a cracker. If you're in the area, the Mozzarella is worth the try. But everything else is not worth any wait, price, or making your way out for. read more

Luigi's Pizza - Store front - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

After reading about it on social media, I've been wanting to come here for a while. I was pretty psyched about coming here. We were lucky that we found parking a block away. We got here and placed our order and sat in the back. We ordered a large pie with mushrooms and sausages. It took about an hour for our pie to come out because of the orders before us. The pizza was ok but we thought the crust was really hard. I think it's because he forgot our order and left it longer than it should've been in the oven. Place is really dated. Right before we left, the exterminator arrived and went towards the kitchen. That got us to leave pretty fast. I guess I psyched myself up and got disappointed with the place. Glad we got to try the place, though. read more

I get it. I really do get the hype now. If you're looking for the quintessential New York slice, this is the spot to go to. The slices are all reasonably priced at $2.75. The shop is very small and there was a line out the door when I was there, but service is fast and moves efficiently. Ordered a margherita and regular to slice and my goodness, I've been missing out. The pizza crust is thin and crispy, but still holds up well even with the sauce and cheese on top. I could devour an entire pie of this honestly. CASH ONLY. read more

Cheese & Sicilian Pizza. GOOD. So far this is the BEST tasting Pizza Slice I've tasted yet in NYC. Yes I know there's supposed to be another dozen GOOD tasting Pizzerias around but I haven't gotten to those yet. The Sicilian Slice was dominated by the Tomato Sauce as usual but was VERY GOOD having a sweet taste. First heard of LUIGI'S PIZZA on NETFLIX'S Street Food: USA series and they've been around since 1973. RECOMMEND. read more

Can't beat the pizza here. As legit as it can be, a throwback to the pizzerias of my childhood. The slice always holds up when I pick it up. Ingredients are super fresh and the prices are purposely fair so pizza can be had by all. The team is efficient, rough and simultaneously super nice in that Brooklyn way. The line was out the door on a Saturday. Call ahead so your wait is shorter but you should expect 20 to 35 min if you want a fresh pie. For slices , should take 5 min or less! read more

Luigi's Pizza - Fresh Mozzarella On Top, large pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My friend and I came here after deciding that pizza sounded like a great idea. It's a pretty small slice shop, but they are very efficient. You order at the front and everything is super fresh. They do have a few tables in the back, if you'd like to sit and eat. We each ordered two slices--my friend got pepperoni and I got a margarita and a Sicilian slice. The slices came out piping hot and were super crunchy and had great sauce to cheese ratio. Just a note that they are cash only, but they have an ATM on site if needed. I would absolutely come back here again! read more

Solid NYC style pizza!! This place is popular and for a good reason!! Loved that the crust was so thin/crispy (maybe a little too crispy at times but it let the toppings shine). Both styles of pizza were good and it didn't feel too heavy/greasy!! read more

The walkway near the entrance is a tad bit narrow but they'll take care of you in no time. Cash only. A few seats inside and out. Their plain was my favorite and a solid NY slice. Thin crust with a light crunch and a slight chew. Not oily and foldable. The Fresh Mozzarella and Grandma were both good, but sometimes the original is the best. NYC is a HCOL area and is abundant with pizzerias.If I lived in the area, this would be a good local spot but not somewhere I would go out of my way for. read more

Tried the cheese lovers pizza and wow it was pure indulgence. Every bite was rich and melty., You'll want extra napkins for this one..

Came here decently faded on a hot, sunny day. Was a decent wait for the za but it was crowded so makes sense. The food was amazing, good quality ingredients and very crispy. The only problem is the lack of seating, but I figured that out and had a great meal. read more

Friendly service, delicious old time thin crust Brooklyn pizza and only $3/slice. What more do you need to know!

Honestly was quite disappointed. Got the regular slice and the grandma slice. Good prices: each were $3. Cash only. However the taste was horrible. My regular slice was good in crisp but bland in flavor. The grandma slice was over crispy and stale as if they tried to cover the staleness by making it over crispy. Staff was a bit rude. There's a lady by the door who allows people in one at a time. She wouldn't let me use the bathroom while they were preparing the dough. The pizzeria was also very small. No room for seating inside but some plastic chairs outside. Definitely wouldn't come back read more

Luigi's Pizza - Regular slice and grandma slice - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Not saying there's a right and wrong Luigi's on 5th Ave but let's just say I've been ordering from a Luigi's thinking it was this location the whole time. Luigi's on 5th Ave gets many compliments as one of the best, and understandably so. My boyfriend and I phoned in an order for a large fresh mozz pie with his preferred toppings plus a plain cheese slice and a grandma slice for myself. I have found my neighborhood slice. Why search any further? I'm sorry, Sauce. I'm sorry, John's of Bleeker. I have no reason to cross the bridge for a plain slice anymore. The cheese is perfectly salty, the sauce is saucin', and the dough is a nice thickness. As much as I hate Barstool, they seem to know pizza. read more

When you think of a Brooklyn slice, this is it. I am transplanted NYer living in California, and when I visit NY area, I always have to try essential pizza joints I never experienced when living in NY. Luigi's was one of them. I'm glad I did! I ordered a regular slice and a corner square. Both really excellent. The crisp and chew of both was extremely satisfying the quality of the cheese and taste of the sauce filled with nostalgia. Very even handed, and not salty or greasy. I very much enjoyed both, I would say the square slice needed a bit more cheese to my liking. The interior has great old school time machines vibes. Love it. If i would make one change, honestly it would have nothing to do with the pizza itself, but from the exterior sidewalk. There is a concrete step up/riser pad right outside the front door. I almost tripped going into the shop and leaving, Lol. Perhaps my fault. but I saw someone else do the same thing. I think it needs a painted border or tape or a 'watch your step' stencil before someone has a bad day. read more

We ordered 2 large pies. About a 20 min wait. Pizzas are huge. Slices are huge. Flavors were good. We ordered pepperoni and a Margherita pizza. Mozzarella was great. Sauce good. Crust a nice combo of crunchy and chewy. No place to really sit and enjoy. Cash only business. You can order a slice or a pie. Overall a good pizza joint that feels like you stepped back in time. read more

Yes Luigi is still working! Fast paced great Brooklyn slice crispy grandma slice (Plain slice is 3.00!!!!) Support old school! Sodas on fountain and a few Dr brown flavors .(Rootbeer on tap) Quiet Clean neighborhood in Brooklyn. Only gave 3 stars but will have to return. The dough appears as if it was overproofed due to the heat wave we are experiencing. That makes certain baked dough lose its life and become very hard. Also noticed when customers ordered pepperoni slices they weren't heated enough so the pepperoni has that off color. read more

CASH ONLY! Came to New York on the hunt for the best pizza. Got a slice of fresh mozz slice ($2.75). Taste (4.5 out 5): Crust was nice and crispy. Sauce tasted fresh.

Service (3 out of 5): They're not nice, but they're not rude either. They're feeding you $2.75 pizza. What more do you want? read more

Luigi's Pizza - menu - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Dear Luigi, From one New Yorker to another, I want to sincerely thank you for making what could possibly be THE single best New York slice. The place is old school and aside from the pizza parlor booths, exactly what you'd expect a classic NYC pizza shop to look like. The old school Coca Cola signs set the mood... all the way back to 1981. The prices are beyond fair and the service is family-owned and run. It's great. When we were there, Nona was at a table in the back, making something by hand. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but... if you strongly disagree with the above, I'd suggest a therapist. Or medication. Or and extra dose of daily sunlight. This is the real deal, NY pizza slice shop. read more

I've lived in Brooklyn all of my 70 plus years so I know how good Brooklyn pizza can be...I've lived in this area for about 8 years but never tried Luigi's. I passed by there yesterday and thought that this was the time. I ordered two slices, one for me and one for my friend. Not only were they not good, they were among the worst pizza I've ever had. Small, dry, and cracker-like. I won't be back. read more

So we stopped here at the recommendation of our friends joe & donnamarie while we're in Brooklyn today. Gio gave us a warm, welcome and absolutely some of the best pizza we have ever eaten.

The best slice in BK, and Gio knows his stuff. What's not to like? Support yer small businesses!

If you want to know what excellent, hole in the wall, NYC pizza tastes like and tasted like in the 80's when I was growing up in Queens, then you gotta try Luigi's. The owner still works the counter and it's as NYC as it gets. The last 30 years pizza in nyc has changed. It's more about social media influence and advertising. A lot of out of state transplants run to spots like Joe's and think it's pizza cause Spider Man liked it. Go to Luigi's and you're tasting a NYC authentic slice. As good as a slice can get. read more

One look at Luigi's Pizza will invoke visions of a classic, hole-in-the-wall NYC pizza parlor.  One bite of their pizza and the vision will acquire some delicious substance :-) The pies they bake here are classic NY-style; the crust is thin and crisp, the sauce is tangy with a nice kick, and the cheese is fresh and gooey. Tip: Even with just the dough, cheese, and sauce, the pies here taste really good, but if you want an even better flavor experience, try adding some pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms :-) read more
