Even better calzone. Do yourself a favor and try the calzone if you go here. We got here around 3:15pm and the line was around the corner. It doubled in size by 4pm when they started taking names (walk-up reservations essentially). I recommend definitely getting here before 3:40 to put your name down. Our table of 6 got a slot for 7:15pm. They say this Brooklyn pizza shop is the best in NYC and I agree. The owner Is also a super friendly guy. Cash-only and BYOB are honestly a plus (bring any drink you want).

It’s truly a life-changing pizza. Got in line around 4:15 on a Saturday, put name in at 4:40, and returned for dinner at 9. I’d probably get there 20 minutes earlier next time to try and get an 8 PM though. Met some good people in line which is expected at a place where people truly come for the food experience. Now for the food, truly spectacular as always. You have to get a pizza and a calzone no matter what. Both are top notch and in a league of their own. I’ll put Lucali up there with Di Fara and Sally’s (New Haven) as the top of class. Which is my favorite? Why choose when I can just enjoy all of them.

The pizza was well worth the wait, the ingredients were fresh, which is necessary for a solid pizza. It’s pretty close to some pizzas I’ve had in Italy. If you have the time to wait, I recommend trying this place out.
