Born and raised in that neighborhood. Back in 1950. 6th. Ave and 20th. St. Right up the block from where you recorded. I remember when Gino’s dad opened that place. I was 23 then.

I've never been, but now I have to! I lived in Dyker Heights for a bit, and Bay Ridge has its share of good spots. I'm back in Flushing now, and there's great spots here, too. The one place I'll always miss is Sal's on Northern Blvd from my childhood.... The owner used to smoke behind the counter while making pizza, perhaps that's why it was so good 😂😂😂 (imagine that now?!) I 💯💯 agree about the old school neighborhood spots. Thanks for the review, excellent as always!

Cool vid! Who knows what the future will bring, but I’m hoping to road-trip from northern Iowa to Luigi’s this summer. The place is an institution and what a fun experience it would be to drive 17 hours to indulge in some real New York style pizza. Will bring my 16 year old daughter so she can see that there’s more to the world than cornfields!

It was so good! I still could've taken down a couple of more slices too!

Mark Iacano from Lucali Pizza gave the highest remarks and said that Luigi's pizza is the top. That's an unusually thick Grandma slice. Grandma slices tend to be the priciest slices in the $4.00+ range at most places. I know a place that makes a great grandma pie when I drive through Lakehurst, NJ, known for the Hindenburg disaster. The owner explained that it uses Sicilian pizza dough and is pressed hard into a rectangular pan. Their grandma slice is very thin, so cracker-crispy, and the outer crust edge is like a crostini bread stick. They also decoratively pipe pesto on it. Their Margherita slice is great too and so flavorful, but their standard pizza has no flavor at all. 🤔

@Jamesnu

5 ай бұрын

I can see why Mark would give the place such praise, it's delicious! Grandma slices can be excellent and I really enjoyed that one at Luigi's. Having spent most of my life living in Chicago, it's a type of slice that I haven't even heard about until I moved to NYC.

Wow, $18.75 for a large pie in New York? I feel like that's dirt cheap! He could probably easily charge $28-$32 if he wanted to.

Let's be honest. you could've made "Do The Right Thing" about Luigi's in South Slope but just pointing a camera at the front door. He's probably a nice guy. But you know he's seen, said, and done some off chit in his day. No doubt the pizza's a good quintessential slice and cheap. You gotta respect that. But I feel like it's gotten a ton of social media hype when it's not *that* uncommon to find family owner-operated slice joints/pizzerias from the 70s. They're all over the tristate.

@Jamesnu

Indeed, there's a ton of classic family owned pizzerias, but I've never seen one as affordable and at the same time, delicious as Luigi's with such a charismatic owner inside a restaurant space that really hasn't changed.

Luigis is better than Lucali, how do I know? Creator of Lucali says it himself! Luigis is part of the inspiration. At least the Lucali near me (Miami) isnt even half of Luigis, but NYC does have something special.
