next time remember to update your opening times😒 yesterday went 2h just to find out it was closed while google map said it was open.

The slices were put in the oven way too long making it scorching hot even after several minutes of waiting for it to cool down my tongue and the roof of my mouth were actually burned and the crust was so hard it was borderline inedible.

Luigi’s Pizza — Brooklyn

By far the best slices I had all day. I went in planning to order just a cheese slice, but when I saw a Sicilian coming out of the oven, I had to ask what it was. The woman at the counter confirmed it was Sicilian, and I immediately added one to my order — a decision I didn’t regret for a second.

Both slices were excellent. The cheese slice earns an 8.3/10, and the Sicilian comes in at an 8.1/10. Neither slice was greasy at all, and the crunch was outstanding — the kind of crisp that would probably register on a Richter scale.

Luigi’s is cash only, which some people don’t love, but I respect it. I’m a cash-is-king guy, and it fits the old-school vibe. The dining room has a few tables, though not many, and it looks like they may be expanding. I took my slices to go and ate outside on a stone slab, admiring the classic Luigi’s neon sign — a really nice touch for a neighborhood pizzeria.

This place is a high recommendation. Not only was it the best slice of the day, it’s easily my second-favorite pizza spot in all of New York City. If you’re in Brooklyn, Luigi’s is a must-stop.

✨ While searching for dining options near Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, I stumbled upon Luigi’s Pizza. After poring over numerous glowing reviews on Google Maps, I decided to give it a try. And it was an excellent choice.

The slices are served on metal trays, and from the very first bite, I was hooked. There’s something truly special about that perfect crisp crust, tangy sauce, and molten cheese.

It’s fascinating that this family-owned gem has been a neighborhood staple since 1973, preserving authentic traditions across generations.

In my opinion, Luigi’s serves some of the finest pizza in all of New York City. If you’re craving quintessential classic NYC-style slices, this is the spot.

I highly recommend it, especially for first-time visitors to the city. Note that it’s a cash-only establishment, which only adds to its charming old-school vibe.

I don’t mind waiting for a good pie, but this one wasn’t worth it. I’ve tried great pizza all over the five boroughs and had this spot on my list, but it ended up being a waste of time. The pizza came out overcooked, the taste was gone, and it came out of the oven looking rough. There’s must be good recipe hidden in there somewhere, just didn’t taste it this time
