    Pesto 14"
    Kyle P.

    Debuting about a month ago, Lusha is wood-fired pizza made with care by folks from Firenze. Lusha has all the ingredients to be a 5 star pizza spot, but they fell just a bit short on this first visit. High quality ingredients and a perfectly cooked, chewy crust are the stars of the show. They immediately hold the mantle of best cheese on a pizza in Chicago, real mozzarella reminiscent of the best of the best back home in New York. A true highlight, along with a pretty well-seasoned, perfectly executed dough and crust. What I'd love to see to put them over the top is better seasoning. The pesto was a bit oily and lackluster to be honest, not adding as much flavor and contrast as I would have expected. Quite honestly, all it needs is some extra salt and pepper, long an issue with Chicago pizza, but surprising from pizza makers from Italy. I will definitely be back to try some other styles, and I have a lot of confidence I'll be updating this review to a 5 down the line. Either way, once you add your own salt and pepper, Lusha is immediately in the conversation for top 5 pizza spots in this city.

    This pizza is unmatched in Lakeview. I happened to walk by so I grabbed 2 slices for dinner. The crust is crispy but also soft in the middle, buttery, cheese and toppings are super fresh. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Highly recommend.

    This place is wonderful! The pizzas are crispy, tasty and authentic. Definitely 1000% recommended.

    Friendly (family owned?) staff with a variety of pizza (both whole pies and by the slice), pastas, and desserts. We got a whole pie: half cheese and half Lusha, both of which were delicious! All the ingredients had flavor from the cheese to the sauce to the crust. I definitely recommend them and can't wait to come try out more. We also tried a strawberry dessert and a Nutella dessert, both of which we enjoyed. It's in a cute little space with some seating for those who want to dine in.

    Ordered from Lusha a few times before. This place produces pizza that is a perfect balance between New York and Neapolitan styles. The crust is soft and chewy with a crispy base yet tastes like a rustic slice from Spacca Napoli. Every time it's been consistently great, authentic, and a nice break from tavern/deep dish.

    This pizza is incredible. The family who runs this is so sweet - they use a lot of ingredients from Italy, and you can tell. We chatted with them for quite a while learning about their journey from Florence to Chicago. We ordered a medium sausage and a Caesar pizza. The dough alone is worth it - thin and crispy crust, but not too much. It was lighter on the sauce and cheese, which was truly perfect. We will absolutely be back. Go support this new pizza place!

    The owners of Lusha are an Italian family who moved to Chicago from Florence 2 years ago, and you can taste it in the pie. Chicago is overflowing with good deep dish, tavern style, and specialty thin crust pizza, but is severely lacking in great, reliable, classic NY style slices. Lusha fills this void perfectly. Make sure you try the pizza AND the wings. It seems like a lot of pizza joints in town have wings on the menu to check a box, but Lusha's are phenomenal.

I've had deep dish pizza before, but I was not prepared for this - the real deal. Pequod's was the right choice. We ordered two pies - a half vegetable and half plain pie, and a meatball pie.

This PLACE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We tried the basic deep dish pizza with pepperoni to go and it was delicious! The sauce was tasty and thick, while the burned edges gave it an added flavor unlike any pizza we have ever tried. The bread is not a "pie" crust but more a fluffy, thick bread. I do recommended you order ahead as it's a 45-50 minute process to cook the masterpiece. It was well worth wait. They have two entrances for this location. One is the pick-up and go side while the entrance closest to the street corner, is the sit-down restaurant. I did notice people waiting outside and when I walked in to see the vibe, they had a small bar area and had several high tables to sit at. The hostess was really sweet and I even bought a $1 sticker to remember our stop here. I highly recommend this location for your deep dish pizza experience!

Big bang buffalo- standard buffalo. Can't go wrong. Hot honey- pretty good, honey flavor, some sweetness Garlic galaxy glaze- this is really good if you like garlic flavor. I would get this again. Bayou in the sky- super super good. I would get this again. Hint of spice, hint of sweet. Carolina bbq- tasted like straight deli mustard. I would pass. The pizza, even though they advertise Detroit Style pizza, their take is more like Focaccia style pizza. They provide nice crunch, not enough sauce. Pretty airy dough. Drooling mushroom- they offer lots of mushrooms on top but the rest of the pizza was not too great. Next time, I would get Ham Radio- pepperoni, bacon, sausage, got and sweet pepper.

So delicious After getting it, my buddy had to get one too haha One of us had the moonwalk cheese, we go out for a lot of pizza together, and he said it was he thought his favorite of anywhere. Another one of our crew got the pepperoni pile up loved. And I got the sweet and salty space candy pizza With bacon, pineapple, pickled red onion, goat cheese, sambal. Genius, the goat cheese, instead of ricotta was the move for this pizza! All the flavors worked in perfect harmony.Nothing short of amazing. Cozy spot, super cool atmosphere, couple of old school arcade games like ninja Turtles let's goooo We had so much fun. The drinks were absolutely excellent as well. Oh my God cannot forget this drink program. Galactic gift basket and Jedi mind trick sooo fire.
