The food is so delicious. The staff is friendly and the food is served quickly. The chopped salad with the Classic plain pizza were the freshest, flavorful ingredients. I came back the next day for the Chicken Milanese sandwich. I would drive an hour to the shore just for that sandwich. read more

Fresh, flavorful pizza! Love the simple and quality ingredients. One of my favorite pizzas in the area! We got Lucci special pepperoni and Lucci special spinach and loved both. Ordering was simple on the website and pizza was done on time read more

Ordered a Lucci Pepperoni to go last Saturday night. One of the best pizza's I ever had. Will always get pizza from this spot. Fan for life. read more

Delicious everytime! One suggestion for take out. I ordered a Caesar salad and there was an option to have the dressing on the side, which I did not want and did not click, so I assumed the dressing would have been tossed as you get when dinning in. When I got home it was on the side so disappointed. There was also not enough dressing so parts of the salad had no dressing no matter how much I tossed it. read more

Ordered a plain pie and I loved it! Bottom had perfect leoparding, super thin crust yet packed with complex flavor, giving off a subtle tasteful bitter-sour undertone. The man takes the bread-making craft very seriously, there are layers and depths to it. Just the perfect amount of basil and not overpowering like it is at other places I've also grown to love and respect (cough, Lucali). I'll be ordering whenever I'm in the area! read more

Pizza was bland needs more taste in sauce and cheese. Dough was tasteless. Copy Rosie's pizzas read more

LOL at that one star review below, absolutely insane person. It was opening week and everyone knew the place was packed. The other two visits only took ten minutes to make the pies. This is an amazing pizza place. One of the best in the area. The plain, white and pepperoni pies ware incredible. 5/5. Thin, crispy, jam packed with flavor. High quality ingredients were evident. Can't wait to try the Spinach and Marinara pies. The meatballs and salads looked great too. read more

3 1/2 stars. Got pizza and the chopped salad on Friday night. First the good - the pizza is fantastic. Thin crust, just the right amount of cheese and flavorful sauce. The bad. The salad. It was completely soggy and that was with the dressing on the side. I've made a salad for lunch the night before and dressed it and it wasn't as soggy as this. Will definitely try again but really hope they pay attention to how they store their greens. read more

Stick to take out. Food is good but there is 0 service. You have to wait to be seated, we waited 30 minutes. Once seated you have to go up to order at the register, then be asked to tip 20% or more. Once you get back to your seat you have to serve yourself water, or wine if you brought your own, and open the bottle yourself. They call themselves byob but don't have wine glasses? Silverware is served on paper towels that look like they came from the bathroom. The restaurant has 0 ambiance I hesitate to even call it a restaurant. You order at the front get a number and they bring it to you. This place also closes at 8 pm sharp. We sat down at 7:20 and were given dirty looks until we left. The restaurant cleared out by 8 but we were still drinking our bottle of wine that we opened. It wasn't until 8pm that the people working there became so attentive. We were asked by multiple ppl if we wanted boxes ( they were clearly trying to kick us out) and gave us a free loaf of bread! (Very nice) I had a stare down with the man mopping because he looked agitated that hecouldn't mop our table and had to mop around us, mind you the sun was still up. At 8:30 we were brought boxes and asked to wrap up the rest of our food so they could "start the dishwasher". We were there less than an hour and a half total. Overall the service was terrible, there's better service at surf taco. I will say the food is good which is why I am giving it 3 starts but I definitely would not waste my time (or tip) going back to sit there for dinner. They should stick to take out and stop trying to be something they clearly don't want to be. They do not care about their patrons or their experience. read more

The food is great!! The service is wonderful, the place is very clean well maintained. An all around enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Pizzeria Lucci to anyone. read more

Terrible service. Gave this place a second chance but every time they disappoint. Food is just ok not worth it. Wife and I value service over anything especially if you spend a lot of money at a place like this read more

I would argue that this is the best pizza in the Monmouth/Ocean shore area. No frills, fast service (if you want a large menu, this may not be your spot). Everything I've had there in two visits is a 5 out of 5. I know others experienced long waits when it first started, but I think that was just a function of the initial hype. I've had no issues now that they're established. read more

Went yesterday, 4/18. Inside is basically no-frills coffee shop/diner style. No servers, you must go to the counter to order, pay, then get a number which is called when food is ready. Our table for 2 was very small, no condiments, and chairs a bit uncomfortable. Over-priced food is good, not great. Doubt we will return. read more

Went there for the first time, staff very nice Ordered the meatballs thought they were delicious, The bread fresh made there. Pizza was excellent. Not the cheapest pizza place by any means But you can tell they're doing top quality ingredients and putting the effort in. I don't mind paying more for good quality. I don't live that close but when I am passing through will definitely return. read more

Great pizza and homemade meatballs are excellent. It is easy to order online or go in and order your pizza. The bread is made every day it is fresh. read more

2nd time trying. Very nice staff. But the crust is crispy the rest of the pizza was soggy again. Not enough seasoning or basil. It did not taste bad but it wasn't satisfying either. Caesar dressing was heavy on anchovy, too heavy and I love anchovies. Not our taste but others seem to love it. Nice people hope they do well. Other people in the restaurant seemed to enjoy it. read more

Pizza is really very good. Other stuff is ok. Vibe is very "we are still working on it" None of it is worth it though. They are open enough to do the shove iPad in your face for a tip when YOU go to counter to order. They then tell you if you want water YOU get up to fill the tiny 4 oz glass they give you w the luke warm water from the tiny little home kitchen pitcher thing. No option to even pay for bottled water. You eat on paper plates, which I understand may be temporary. But if you want a new one after you eat the salad and meatballs, YOU get up and get a new one. This is all after they see you tip 20+ percent. Of course at the end of the meal YOU feel compelled to clean your table because there are people stalking your space and no one is even thinking about cleaning it because YOU only tipped 20 + percent... I understand they just opened The space is pretty bare. But if you are charging what they are and forcing the tip... I mean you're open right? $72 plus for one pizza, one salad, one order meatballs. Including tip. Plus we had to work the floor. Not worth it... read more

I am a local and had high expectations. Sadly those expectations weren't met. Ordered a standard plain pie and house salad. This pizza falls right into the middle tier of pizza in this town. Simply, there wasn't anything satisfying or fulfilling about either item. Recommendation for those non-locals, spend your money at Federici's if you're looking for thin crust. No seating, long waiting, and inferior product. Wish them the best of luck, but never getting my business again. read more

Listen, I don't mind waiting 85 minutes for a pizza (if you don't give me a hard time or attitude about it being ready on time). I stopped in tonight and ordered a pizza. I was told it would be ready in 85 min. So, I said fine. I came back 70 min later just to see if it was "on track" and I was met with a ton of attitude! "We told you it would be ready in 85 min!!!" I said "no problem" and then proceeded to wait another 30 min. And it still wasn't ready!! So, please don't give me an attitude, if you can't manage the logistics of baking a Pizza on your end. The ambiance is ok (albeit a little cramped). Clearly people want to eat inside; hence, the line out the door. So, let's talk about the food. I think the flavor of the dough was absolutely terrific. Chewy and tasty. And the sauce had a nice flavor too!! However, way too much char on the pizza. Like overcooked and black on top. So my wife and kids would not eat it at all, which was too bad. It has to look appetizing (first) and then actually taste good (second). What a let down after waiting an hour and half. Had to order take out from down the road. Next up, the meatballs. Once again, sauce was absolutely terrific. Loved it. However, the meatballs were not great whatsoever. They either weren't baked long enough or sauteed long enough. Don't know the process here. But some chefs like to saute them over an open flame and finish them in the oven. And some like to just bake them. In either case, these meatballs looked more like smooshed hamburger and were just really mushy! They couldn't hold their shape at all and just fell apart. Not great. If I wanted Bolognese, I would have gone somewhere else. So, in conclusion, I would probably stay with Federici's on 10th or Lubrano's Trattoria in Manasquan. Both serve excellent pizza, pasta and meatballs. I'm a hard pass on this place due to attitude, wait-time, too much char on the pizza, and terrible texture of the meatballs. Keep trying guys. And if you want an amazing pizza or meatballs try some other great local places. The shore has a ton of great Italian. read more

Their business is nothing new we haven't seen in Monmouth County. There are so many pizzerias already. The wait for one pie was an hour and a half. Vinnie's and Atilia's pizza are just as good or better. Or Joe's Rotisserie in Asbury Park on main Street is out of this world. Nope. read more

Awesome pizza, meatballs, and staff. People/"Locals" giving bad reviews simply do not know good pizza! #imabenny

What a nice surprise. We found this small pizza restaurant while heading to the Jersey shore. Pizza was very good. Wonderful crust. Nice balance of all the ingredients. We had a salad as well. It was very large with a nice vinaigrette. Restrooms and the entire restaurant were very very clean. The owner/pizza maker came out and checked in with all the tables to make sure everything was ok. We will definitely stop here again. read more

As a transgender woman that I am, I went into this pizzeria. I didn't want it to eat there but apparently they cannot make the ricotta to go "wierd" so I had to get a table and eat there the whole time the guys behind making the pizzas kept staring at me all the time so uncomfortable like really uncomfortable the food is nice however. I just felt really uncomfortable sitting there. Honestly, it's 2024!! read more

Worth the hype! Incredible delicious pizza. Small menu, but that's how you know they're good at what they do. Quality over quantity !

Had very high hopes about this place. Tried 2 pies and the meatballs. Pizza was very greasy and cold. Meatballs were ok. Major let down and nowhere close to the top pizza in the area. read more

The pizza we had today was disappointing to say the least it was hard tasteless and shit the worst pizza i have ever had I have never been to a worse place expensive too read more

Delizioso Pizza Perfection. On par with some of the best artisanal pizzerias ... Razza, Motorino, Qua. If they would add a clam pie to their menu, I'd move in!!! read more

Have tried this spot a few times since they opened and it keeps getting better and better. The food is dope and the staff are all nice, my new favorite pizzeria in the area by far. The spinach pie is some of the best pizza I've ever had. Don't sleep on it!! read more

First time ordering take out tonight and it will not be the last. Quality is second to none. The pizza was out of this world and the large salad matched it perfectly. Vinegar cured peppers for the win. Everything was well balanced and just what you want from a pizzeria. The concept inside is crisp and inviting, staff was friendly and the wait was quick! This is a serious competitor in Monmouth county now. read more

Found my new pizza spot!!!! Good service and clean restaurant. I also enjoyed the playlist. Don't sleep on the 'Lucci spinach pie!

Great spot, everything on the menu is really good, esp. the meatballs and the white pie. Cool vibe and friendly staff, will definitely be back. read more

This was our second visit to Lucci's - our first visit in July was a very good experience - both the food and service. The second visit in September was not good, or I will even say - not acceptable. The pizza we had here in July was truly great - you could definitely taste the deliciousness of the milled tomatoes on the pie and the cheese was also great. What a disappointment during this last visit - the tomato sauce tasted like a cheap brand of jar sauce with no flavor or texture and there was barely any cheese on the pie and it was tasteless. The crust was good, but nothing outstanding. We also had a chopped salad as a starter which was just OK - they sparingly shaved some parmesan on the salad, which for the price ($18.00) was a disappointment, it needed a lot more cheese. Service here is mediocre at best, the staff doesn't go out of their way to explain the menu items but the cashier person is quick to have you pick your tip percentage amount when you are required to pay BEFORE you are served - very weird. There are too many better upscale pizza restaurants at the shore to bother going back to Lucci's for another try. We are locals and some of the best Pizza spots are: Crust & Crumble in Asbury, Squan Tavern in Manasquan, Federici's in Belmar and Talula's in Asbury. read more
