Editorial Review for Luzzo's – by Paul Adams
In Short
This East Village space has a calm, old-world vibe. The menu is Southern Italian: A coal oven produces crisp, thin-crusted pizzas with a variety of toppings, including meatballs, gorgonzola, grilled chicken, arugula, even spicy salami. A host of pastas are available as well: lobster ravioli, penne with mint and ricotta, oven-baked cannelloni; as well as hearty meat and fish dishes like meatballs and sausages, chicken parmigiana, and shrimp scampi.

To be fair, I ordered a pizza that was loaded with meat - but boy was the crust spongy and my stomach felt knotted after eating. It reminded me of a frozen pizza. Now, I have friends who swear by this place, but I thought it kinda stunk and so did my girlfriend... I await the pounding from "real" italians blah blah blah. Everyone has an opinion, and IMHO this is not one of the better places in NY. In fact I would rank Luzzo's under Totonno's, Grimaldi, Patsy, Johns et al.

I really didn't expect much from this place, but the pizza was very good - great, even. Leaps and bounds better than Lombardi's or Grimaldi's. The space is cramped and oddly decorated, but that doesn't matter much when you're eating pizza. The service is great, and the entire staff is friendly.
Pros: pizza, service
Cons: cramped space
