I tried the Tartufata (black truffle pate). 16" is a perfect two person size. I liked the thin Neapolitan crust. It was tasty, but I wouldn't consider it one of NYC's best. Draft beer: Moretti only.

order the michele: love that they don't skimp on the mushrooms and you really can't go wrong with truffle. pairs nicely with the diavola (spicy salami). the fried calamari is nothing special.

Love the seats in the back by the kitchen/oven. You can see all of the masterpieces enter and exit the brick oven. Make a reservation.

They basically ruined this place with their move from EV > Houston to become more trendy. The amazing gnocchi is moved their sister restaurant. The pizza sold at Luzzos is more fast eats aiming

I think the best pizza in NYC. Get a buffala pizza and you'll thank me. And them. Them more. It's the lightest, freshest pizza you'll enjoy outside of Napoli.

Tried the 12'' pizza with Truffle Pate. Just good to fill up 2 hungry souls. Dough had a chewy bite and thickness' just right. Be sure to eat right away ! No reservation req on a weekday night.

Solid sit down Neapolitan style pizza. Not worth going out of your way, but a solid neighborhood option. I like the Diavola with cherry peppers added.

The spicy salami pizza with ricotta is AMAZING! crust was flaky and perfect. The fresh ricotta and spicy olive oil was absolutely delicious. But the restrooms are disgusting!! Cash and Amex only.

Shocked it's on so many "best of" lists. Keste and Motorino blow this one out of the water as far as Neapolitan pizza goes.
Jinnie LOctober 15, 2014
had a wonderful lunch here :) pizza was really good♥ try bufala(best neapolitan pizza ever) & martha. so yummy!!!

Serving up thin Napoli-style pizza, this joint is right around the corner from Motorino's. Cool ambience but fire-y crust makes for the perfect meal!
CarmenApril 21, 2011
The pizzas are absolutely delicious, easily the best I've had in my life. The waiters are nice and friendly and so is the atmosphere, the place is highly recomendable

The pizza is outstanding, time after time.. Absolutely blows away lots of other top rated pizza in NYC... Never disappoints. Their food is great too....
Emilio VitoloDecember 30, 2014
This is Neapolitan pizza done the right way ..without a doubt one of my favorite authentic italian pizza places

Try the prosciutto pie topped with fresh arugula, the bitter green perfectly accents the salty prosciutto and creamy mozzarella. Read more

Cute spot for a pizza date. Get the #7 with black truffle pate. So good!
Amanda TheilerMarch 1, 2015
$12-17 for 12in, $21-25 for 16in. 12in is enough for 2 if you're getting an app or desserts. 16in for 2 if super hungry, but it's pretty huge. indoor only.

Grandma style with good crunch to crust...doesnt flop, kinda salty due to sopressata

Delicious artichoke appetizer. Great pizzas. Go for the bigger size, you know you want to

Every pizza is amazing. I've never been disappointed. Go to pizza for us is the tarfurata / cash and Amex only
Tudor LeuMay 14, 2012
No-frills Neapolitan pizza. Thin crust, great flavor. The Ripieno is nice. Pro tip: their pasta is also delicious.

#19 Pizza. 😍 such a great meal and nice staff!

Good pizza but beware of the cockroaches crawling around! We found one on the wall once and the waiter was like whatever and walked away! Also make sure your glasses are clean- lipstick stains are ew!

Quick and great service, quiet, and nice decor. Enjoyed my solo dinner
Ben RAugust 8, 2014
Neapolitan pies but not as soupy as other places. The classic margherita is a near perfect pie.
Meghan OSeptember 26, 2011
If Luzzo's regular margarita pie is always that good, I am going to become a regular in no time. Friendly service and perfect pizza are the norm here :)
B ChuMay 20, 2013
Must try the Tartufata (truffle) pizza ! 12" for $18. rmb to tip since not included in bill (NB not open on Mon)
Alex FishJune 15, 2015
Amazing pizza, put the spicy oil on top for a change. Change is good
Juston PayneFebruary 3, 2012
Luzzo's used to be amazing. Now it's just really good (the rumor is they had to change their oven in some way). The sauce is a tangy and interesting, but the crust lacks the fluff it used to have.
Laura ToolanApril 27, 2014
Get the large. There's no such thing as too much. The tartufata is incredible
FoodspottingDecember 12, 2010
There are only five pizzas worth eating in New York & Luzzo’s is amongst them. Nothing beats their standard gooey margarita pie. - Soraya

One of the few coal oven pizza joints left and worth going. The Diavola is too legit to quit!

Salsiccia pizza is incredible, as are all the pizzas.

Order the gragnano. It is magical. The pizza's are divine, and the gnochhis are tiny clouds of wonderment.

Homemade pappardelle with meatballs, sausage and pork, mouth watering!!

One of the best pizzas in the city and one of the few that are allowed to serve coal oven pizza.
Angela WuMay 27, 2012
Keep a sharp eye on your plate if you're not finished eating. Speedy service staff may snatch it away in the blink of an eye!

Real solid neighborhood pizza joint. Par for the course.

More toasted and crunchy than other Neapolitan places that pop up all over the city. And the atmosphere is good too.

EST needs flavor - the ricotta washes it out
