UA Eats' Luigi's Pizza review

2025-08-28

UA makes the trek from New Jersey to Park Slope to find out if Luigi's is really the best pizza in New York. The place is no frills, basically just a counter, and he grabs a plain slice, a grandma slice, and a supreme slice for $4.50. The plain slice let him down: the cheese was welded onto the pie and the crust was so cracker-like it felt like a workout for his teeth. The grandma slice was a whole different story, crispy outside, spongy inside, with sweet sauce and funky Parmesan, and he calls it one of the best he has had. A guy on the street even handed him a free pepperoni and sausage slice, which he gave away before tasting. Bottom line, good pizza, but not quite worth the hype.

• Plain slice at $3.50: salty, chewy cheese, but droopy in the middle and the crust is basically a cracker
• Grandma slice at $3.50: crispy bottom, spongy dough, sweet sauce, funky Parmesan. Get this one.
• Supreme slice at $4.50: pepperoni, onions, peppers, soppressata, garlic sauce, but UA gave it away before trying it
• No frills inside, just a counter, and he ate sitting on a little fence next to a mural
• Verdict: solid neighborhood spot, but not worth a drive from Jersey
