i've only gotten take-out from this place, the two times i did, i thought it was pretty good. expect a wait because this place is always bustling. the sauce is a little sweet but there's a good amount of it with the cheese. i can see why the place is so popular.
Pretty good pizza and always fresh and service is always quick.
I definitely prefer Amore pizza tho.
Tried their buffalo wings one time, it was not good! Stick with the pizza here.
This is a grab and go place with only a few seats inside
Tucked behind all of the Chinese restaurants in Flushing, you'll find this small hidden gem on Roosevelt Ave named Lucia Pizza. I will go as far as to say that their plain slice is the best plain slice in NYC. This place is always crowded so expect your pizza to come out fresh from the oven.
There are many components that make this slice so freaking good, the homemade tomato sauce they use is really fragrant and you can really taste the spices and herbs. Their dough is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, not chewy and tough like other slices are New York.
The pizzeria is rather small and there's no private table seating, just a small, long table attached to the wall with stools. If you're a New Yorker and you love a mean slice of pizza, it doesn't get much better than this place.
This pizzeria is one of last bastions of non asian food in flushing and damn it; I will make it last forever. Easily one of the best pizzas in it's class in Queens, Lucia's has been open as long as I could remember, while plenty of stores around it have come and gone. I actually have a fond memory of the place from when I was younger. When I was a kid I had exactly 2.50$ for a slice of pizza. Being really excited I accidentally dropped the slice right before I leaned in to take a bite. It landed on the floor cheese side down. Seeing that I was totally heartbroken and upset, the guy at the counter gave me a slice free of charge.
And with that simple act this pizzeria will ALWAYS have my undying loyalty. Give a kid a slice of pizza and you've gained a lifetime customer.
If you're here for the food only, Lucia's pizza is no slouch. They have some of the most well balanced cheese/dough ratios that I've ever seen in a pizzeria. The crust is never soggy, partly cause the slices always fly off the shelves. While I'm typically not a Sicilian person, Lucia's Sicilian slice is impressive. It isn't too doughy and isn't over bearing.
Pro tip: Get a no frills cheese slice. A great pizza place can always be seen in their regular slices. Regular or Sicilian, Lucia's is no joke.
This is a pizza worth driving to queens for.
That is all.
Go, you will not be disappointed.
Came here to try their pizza after hearing about how popular their regular slices are. For the price ($2.50/slice), I thought it was a pretty meh slice. Definitely not worth the hype. While I did like how the crust was very crispy and how the dough was very thin, the cheese just didn't sit well with me because it kept on sliding off. The tomato sauce wasn't bad. You can definitely get better and cheaper slices elsewhere though. The store itself is small and cramped so you're most likely going to want to take your slices to go. For me, the best pizza in Queens is still Dani's in Kew Gardens! Lucia's is just more conveniently located but definitely overhyped.
Navigating the frenetic environment that is Flushing tends to burn my calories so I decided it was time for a snack. A pizza place is a welcome change from the many Asian eateries in the nabe and after reading Rich W.'s review, I decided on a snack. I wasn't as enamored of the pizza here as my fellow Yelpers. The crust is indeed excellent, thin and crisy, the cheese to sauce ratio was perfect, but the sauce was a bit salty for me, missing the slight sweet tang I love in my perfect slice. Lucia is small, with a counter sporting a few stools. However, there is a VERY long counter where they serve you that seems to double as a convenient place to slap your slice down and nosh. It's clean and the service is friendly. This wouldn't be a place I would go out to revisit but I would try it again if I were in the nabe and had pizza craving.
The best pizza in qns! It's $2.50 for a regular cheese slice. The pizza is not doughy but thin enough. It's cheesy. It's saucy. It's perfect! For additional toppings its $.65 extra. I usually get with pepperoni also. Very tiny and cramped place. There's stool seatings and some people just stand and eat by the counter.
