Lucia Pizza of Ave X

OMG!! There are a select few places I start my review with, and this is one of them! DO NOT, I repeat, do not drive by without stopping here! The pizza is amazing, and that honey drizzle...Oooooooo weeeeeeee!Service was great, even when they were very busy; there was a steady stream of people coming in and out, and now we know why!Loved the ambiance; your typical pizza joint, but with a classic NYC feel to it! The owner came out to check on us, and shared a bit about their history! Love it! We're definitely coming back again and again, AND they deliver in our area!!

Great slice shop off the beaten path with so many delicious slice offerings, both unique and traditional. Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a quick dine-in meal. There are a few seat-yourself small tables inside but this place is mostly a takeout spot. We ordered the caesar salad and 3 slices - vodka, salsiccia (sausage), and poblano funghi (mushroom). The salad was pretty underwhelming - a bowl of (mostly) romaine with a few croutons, copious amounts of shredded parm, and light dressing - nothing to write home about but an apt pizzeria starter. The slices were some of the best in NYC, even reheated. Thin and crunchy bottom crust with a combo of char and chew to the outer crust (outer crust was less appealing reheated, probably better in a fresh pie). The vodka and salsiccia were very traditional pies and executed nicely. The real eyebrow raiser was the poblano funghi - creamy poblano sauce with mushrooms - don't see that very often. I would definitely make the trip out just for this slice alone since it is one-of-a-kind.

Food: Their clam pie, only served on Fridays, is a must-get! The pie has clams, garlic, fresh basil, cilantro, cheese, and slices of lemon. It's very delicious and unique - highly recommend! Service: Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Ambiance: Tables for smaller and larger groups available. There is outdoor seating as well. Overall, I highly recommend this pizzeria! It's worth the trek to Sheepshead Bay.

Great pizza at a reasonable price! The crust was perfectly crispy, the sauce had a nice tang, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. The restaurant had a casual, welcoming vibe--nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. Service was friendly and efficient, making the experience even better. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice or sitting down for a meal, this is a solid spot for quality pizza at a good value.

I want to like their clam pizza so badly. I waited many Fridays and finally had a day off today to give it a try. The restaurant is small but there were 2 tables for outdoor dining. The weather was also lovely so we sat outside to enjoy our pizza and vitamin D. The service was mediocre, nothing spectacular, but quick and to the point. The clam pizza was ok. It was a bit too dry and maybe making a sauce similar to a clam sauce linguine would help. And I also wish it had more clams as it was very settled. The dough/crust was outstanding though. For $32, and not getting much clam flavor was disappointing. Also, the lemon can be skipped.

yummy pizza we got the saturday special the shrimp pizza(forgot a pic), and the vodka slice. Yahh the vodka slice was the best bc of the sauce, the ambiance was old school and the seating was chill. The customers were kinda annoying, but we are customers too maybe we were annoying too idk. The line for pick up and ordering was a bit confusing. Quite expensive tho we got two slices and a bev it was about $16 :D

Lucia Pizza is my go-to spot in the area, and for good reason! It's a small place with friendly, social employees, and the ambiance is always lively, making it a great spot to grab a slice.I've tried a few things from the menu: the clam pizza (only available on Fridays), the regular cheese slice, and my absolute favorite, the Caramelle Piccanti pie. The clam pizza had good flavor, though it was a bit too lemony for my taste. The regular cheese slice is fantastic--there's more cheese than sauce, which I love. But the real standout is the Caramelle Piccanti. It's a regular cheese pizza topped with jalapenos, basil, and a drizzle of Mike's Hot Honey. All those flavors combined? Absolute heaven!One thing to note: the crust is thin and crunchy, so if you're into softer crusts, this might not be your thing. But personally, I think it adds to the experience.If you're ordering for pick-up, a whole pie takes about 15-20 minutes, which is super convenient.Highly recommend!

Now this is pizza ! Love that they put some basil on your slice . The vodka slice is a must try . The girl at the register could be welcoming and Could be a bit more attentive with ringing people up as soon as they get their slice since some people are on a lunch break or double parked .

Came here for the first time with my husband and daughter. We wanted to try all of the slices so we did! Silly us - we had 8 different slices where we could have just purchased a pie for cheaper! I liked the vodka slice the most. The clam slice was alright, I would've preferred more clams. My husband liked the spicy slice. Our 1 year old liked her pizza and the French fries.

RATING: 3.5/5 - Lucia's is fine, but I've still had better. I've heard so much buzz about the location in SoHo, come to find out that the OG location is near me in South Bklyn, so we had to try it out! The prices at their Bklyn location were pretty standard for the area. Their online menus don't include TAX, fyi. We ordered a Margherita Pie ($21) and a 1/2 Cheese 1/2 Pepperoni Pie ($23.50). I really liked the addition of the basil leaves on top for a fresh taste! The Margherita Pie was good, but could've used more garlic and the crust was a bit thicker / not as crispy as I would've liked. The Pepperoni slice was the best, as the oil from the pepperoni helped with the drier bread. TIP: Add hot honey on your slice for another layer of yumminess!Overall, it was nice to finally try the spot. While I've still had better slices, Lucia's is still decent. I'd definitely go back to try their other unique slices!
