    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

Sis got the Loaded Sriracha fries as well, holy smokes were they good! Wings were crispy & saucy accordingly.

The…read morewebsite and doors say they open at 11:30 and the doors were locked and lights off so we decided to go get coffee next door in hopes that they opened at noon. At noon, they unlocked the door, no hello or greeting - just straight behind the counter and to the kitchen for us to order at the screen in the front. The screen was filthy (they just opened as a reminder) we couldn't tell what was in the 'combo' and then when we were going to order the boneless chicken wings, as they were gluten free when we ordered them years ago, I asked one of the women in the kitchen to confirm. She said no, I don't think so. And walked away without any further guidance for what I might be able to eat on their menu. It's not a preference, it's a dietary restriction - so we walked out from there. They clearly had no interest in helping me or our business. A real disappointment after driving 30 minutes out of our way to try and enjoy it.

    (Kari's Rating 8/10)…read more Came in on a Friday night about 8 o'clock, and I didn't realize there was a basketball game tonight, so the bar was really packed with IU fans. I heard off this place from an Instagram video from a food blogger. There wasn't initially seating when we first got in, but the bartender/hostess helped us make a makeshift table. We also didn't have a chair so she had to go find a chair and she found one so really appreciate her hustle. The wings came out pretty quickly, the honey barbecue wings were really sweet, and came with a substantial amount of sauce. The ranch was impeccable. It was not too thin and came with celery. The birds nest hot sauce was relatively hot for a medium. I was definitely feeling the spice after two or three. I think there was a little too much sauce on the wings for me, personally, but overall very good. The volume is really loud because everyone was there for the game, so we kinda had to yell over each other to have a conversation. We got our check pretty quickly and the servers were really attentive. I would definitely come back if I was in the area, but I probably wouldn't come all the way from River North for this again.

    Our waitress was... sufficient. The food (I personally had…read morechicken wings) was phenomenal. I suggest going with the Bird's Nest hot sauce for the wings. I'd definitely go back for the wings.
