Luciano Express Pizzeria - North Star Mall

For someone who has recently been to Italy...it has taken me TOO LONG to check out this place!! I am disappointed in myself. I had the Spinach Stromboli. My daughter the Meat Stromboli. And we shared the cannoli and tiramisu. The sauce for dipping is so robust and flavorful. The cannoli was delicious. Only thing missing is pistachios! And as for the tiramisu, it was delicious! My Italian exchange daughter made me tiramisu and except for the thick layer of cream separating the biscuits vs the thicker layer of biscuits my daughter made....it's taste is legit! Which is soooooo hard to find outside of Italy!!

The textbook definition of mall food court pizza.Stopped in to the food court and opted for Luciano's Spinach Stromboli. Though I was able to finish my half, my fiancé didn't like it in the slightest and it actually killed his appetite. There was entirely too much spinach and it was obscenely greasy, slipping right out of the breading and falling out when we tried to take a bite. It was borderline slimy in some areas on my fiancé's half with the amount of grease and I couldn't fault him for not finishing it. The mozzarella was average and so was the bread, even if it was pretty soft. This Stromboli definitely needed the marinara sauce that came with it, though it wasn't that great either.I'd recommend trying another one of their menu items, and maybe just skipping on the spinach all together. Stromboli at your own risk.

Monday 10-11-2021 1:47pm While in vacation in San Antonio we pick up this pizza place after walking in the food court, this pizza place looks amazing and seems to have lots of choices for everyone.I normally eat pizza and pasta but this place seems to have other good stuff like calzones and others items that I have never seen in my life before.Well so I ask the Hispanic man there about the meats inside the calzones and the others items displayed on the bar, he was very rude pointing the menu to me telling me to read the difference in the menu, so I ask ? He said back to me Yes there is the difference so I basically told him Thanks and I walk away to pick another place to eat, I'm a food server and I'm compromised to answer the questions about what I'm serving to my guess, Please excuse my bad typing English is not my first language,

Pretty good food for fast Italian. The avocado salad is tasty. The small size is more than enough. There are always several kinds of pizzas to chose from. Also pepperoni rolls and Stromboli. Many types of salad. The pasta salad is one of the good ones, too. Pretty many choices of pasta in the mall. Give them a try.

Best pizza in San Antonio period!! The thick slices are so very tasty, not doughy. Toppings are plentiful and very fresh and tasty. My favorite place for pizza!

I can't believe we ate here. My wife had a good experience with her pasta dish, I will caveat it with that, but other than that, it was the worst food I have had in a very long time. I will start with a quote from my grandmother, "if you break the noodles, you will go to hell". She was pretty old world about her cooking. She takes food seriously to say the least. I understand that this is in a mall, but there are a lot of nice restaurants in malls.I ordered veal parmigiana, so I completely expected a piece of veal and some pasta with cheese and sauce. I am proud to announce that this is ALMOST what I got! There were 3 small heavily beaten pieces of veal. Then, it was fried past jerky tough. I literally could not cut it with the knife. Seriously? Indeed.Now, not being able to cut and eat the veal, in a meal that is named after the veal, is not the worst part. I think it's time to que grandma, THEY BROKE THE NOODLES! I think this is grounds for no one ever, and I mean EVER going to this restaurant. This is the first and only Italian restaurant I have ever been to that broke the noodles. This is unforgivable and then in keeping with their overcooking strategy, they were complete mush. Let's recap: overcooked, destroyed and plastic-like veal with mashed potato like noodles that were broken into small pieces. Worst meal at an Italian restaurant, EVER.

Definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for good Italian food that wants something quick and doesn't have time for a "sit down" restaurant. They had plenty of options for pizzas, salads, pasta dishes, and desserts. Everything was fresh and their counters/displays were very clean. I had ordered my 18 month old daughter a small pasta salad and I had a large Pasta Al Forno. Both were absolutely to die for; the portions were beyond huge and worth the money! The staff was terrific and very kind. We will definitely be back soon!

I love the taste of brick baked pizza !! I cannot eat pizza hut or Pizzaria the same ever again !! This pizza has won my little heart over ! Love it !!!

If you like crappy, cold in the center pizza and your salads drenched in dressing, this might be the place for you. Spent $15 on this. Should have known better. I blame myself lol

Been a few times to this place and it never disappoints. The pizza and garlic bread is always amazing. Their service is really good and I like to see the open kitchen concept. The environment is also really good and the only thing is it can sometimes get very busy, but I never had an issue there
