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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
Jinnie LOctober 15, 2014
had a wonderful lunch here :) pizza was really good♥ try bufala(best neapolitan pizza ever) & martha. so yummy!!!

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!

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.

$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.

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

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....
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 :)
Emilio VitoloDecember 30, 2014
This is Neapolitan pizza done the right way ..without a doubt one of my favorite authentic italian pizza places
Dana FlynnNovember 10, 2014
Delicious artichoke appetizer. Great pizzas. Go for the bigger size, you know you want to
Ben RAugust 8, 2014
Neapolitan pies but not as soupy as other places. The classic margherita is a near perfect pie.
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.
William HAugust 23, 2014
Cute spot for a pizza date. Get the #7 with black truffle pate. So good!
Christina ChinApril 13, 2019
Grandma style with good crunch to crust...doesnt flop, kinda salty due to sopressata
Tudor LeuMay 14, 2012
No-frills Neapolitan pizza. Thin crust, great flavor. The Ripieno is nice. Pro tip: their pasta is also delicious.
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

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

Get the large. There's no such thing as too much. The tartufata is incredible

Quick and great service, quiet, and nice decor. Enjoyed my solo dinner

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

There are only five pizzas worth eating in New York & Luzzo’s is amongst them. Nothing beats their standard gooey margarita pie. - Soraya

Great neighborhood Italian spot & can’t beat the prices.
JessicaNovember 24, 2014
Love being entertained by Italian game shows on Rai while waiting for pizza!

More toasted and crunchy than other Neapolitan places that pop up all over the city. And the atmosphere is good too.
Loren MattiaFebruary 2, 2012
Amazing classic neapolitan pie combined with a nice glass of red wine, Che bello!
Penni BonaldiMay 25, 2012
Try the Buffalo Mozzarella Pizza - Simple pizza is wonderful... Perfection...
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!

Veggie pizza is made of fresh cooked vegetables! Tasty
Alex FishJune 15, 2015
Amazing pizza, put the spicy oil on top for a change. Change is good
Patrick BaskinSeptember 18, 2014
Pizza is delicious, a bit expensive though $20+ for a 16" pie
Raymond MannMay 18, 2010
Great pizza. Really a great pie. I wouldn't say it's the best, but I will guarantee everyone who goes will enjoy their pizza.
Lucu ChalmetonMarch 21, 2012
Try the prosciutto mozzarella truffle one! With or without tomato sauce!
Amar PradhanOctober 26, 2021
EST needs flavor - the ricotta washes it out
Christoph BornscheinOctober 7, 2018
Try the Tartufata with truffles - only downside as of October 2018: no liquor served!
Mike ChauSeptember 18, 2012
Try the Arancini Di Carne - Rice balls with meat Ragu
