Lucali is one of those places that keeps it simple and gets it right. We sat outside and it was airy, relaxed, and honestly the perfect way to enjoy a New York pizza night without feeling cramped. The space feels unfussy and confident. Nothing overdesigned, just good energy and people there for the food.
We ordered the Bianca and asked for hot peppers on one side, which was the right move. The crust is thin with just enough char and structure to hold that beautiful layer of melted mozzarella and ricotta. The Bianca is rich but not heavy, and the hot peppers added the perfect kick without overpowering the balance. Every slice felt intentional.
The kale Caesar with chicken was equally solid. Crisp kale, well dressed, generous parmesan, and the chicken was cooked properly, which matters more than people think. It’s the kind of salad that actually holds its own next to the pizza instead of feeling like an afterthought.
No pasta for us this time, and honestly we didn’t miss it. When the pizza is this good, you lean in.

My friends and I went the other night and had the best time. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing from start to finish. You can truly taste how fresh and high-quality every ingredient is – simple, perfect, and done right.
The ambiance is so cozy and inviting, it made the whole experience even better. Our server kept raving about the pistachio tiramisu (apparently it’s the best), and I’m still mad at myself that we were too full to try it – that alone is reason enough to come back.
Such a great vibe, incredible pizza, and wonderful service. Can’t wait to return (and saving room for dessert next time!).

Lucali is a pizza shop that is beyond overhyped. I arrived and was seated right away and I’m glad I did because I wouldn’t put my name down for this place. The Kale Caesar came out in seconds of ordering and the croutons were delicious, only 4. The spicy 3 cheese fusilli was decent but nothing to write home about. Came out 2-3 minutes after the salad. The pizza is what I came for and it was a disaster. Came 47 minutes after the pasta… waiting…. waiting…. waiting….I asked for extra sauce and I’m glad I did because or else there would’ve been none, can you believe they charged me $4 for the extra sauce too? The crust was not soft and was way too crispy, crisp also had no flavor so just the middle part of the pizza was consumed. Overall the croutons were the best part of the meal. I feel robbed. I won’t be back, better to go to the countless of other places that cater to the customer more. Also there was an animal they allowed to sit inside the lobby? Uhm, what’s the outdoor patio for then? Who wants dogs surrounding them when they eat. 2 stars is generous. Do better!

All I can say is, wow! Tried getting into the Brooklyn location but the wait times were 3 hours. This past week | was down in Miami Beach and decided to give this location a try and I am so glad that I did! Not sure if it was because of the tropical storm but getting in was a breeze. No wait. We walked right in. Sat down and was greeted very kindly by waitress. Kept it simple and went with cheese. Legit the pizza was out in less than 5 minutes! Pipping hot and basil was super fresh! Their crust has a phenomenal chew and taste they put just the right amount of sauce, which is nice and acidic. I recommend using the hot oil. Make sure to ask for it when you get the pizza. Gives it a nice kick! Pizza was amazing and I enjoyed my experience start to finish. Was in and out within 30 mins. 100% recommend!

This spot in Sunset Harbour has such a better vibe than the madness of South Beach. It feels cool and dimly lit but super welcoming, not pretentious.
Let’s talk about the food because that’s why you’re reading this. We ordered a ton of food, and honestly, there wasn’t a single thing that I wouldn’t order again immediately.
First off, the Pepperoni Chips. Do not even think about skipping these. I don’t know how they get them this crispy without burning them, but they are addictive. It’s like the best part of the pizza but just in a bowl. We also grabbed the Caesar Salad to start, mostly to make ourselves feel better about all the carbs we were about to eat, but it was legit. Super cold, crunchy romaine, and they don’t skim on the parmesan or the dressing. It hit the spot perfectly.
Then the heavy hitters came out. The Chicken Parm… wow. I’d seen photos of it, so I knew it was big, but seeing it on the table is wild. It’s huge. But the crazy part is that it stays crispy. I hate when chicken parm gets soggy from the sauce, but this breading held up the entire time. The sauce tastes like it’s been cooking for days—super rich and tangy.
And obviously, the Pepperoni Pizza. Look, I take my pizza pretty seriously, and this is hands down the best pie I’ve had in Miami. Maybe anywhere. The crust is thin and has that perfect “crack” when you bite into it, but it’s still chewy enough to be satisfying. The pepperoni curls up into those little cups that hold the oil, and the ratio of cheese to sauce is just right.
The service was also on point fast, friendly, and they didn’t rush us even though the place was packed. If you haven’t been yet, just go. It’s worth the wait, it’s worth the price, it’s worth the hype. 10/10.

This is 5 stars +++
The pictures say enough. Several good pizzerias in Miami but this offers so much more. Calzones are the best, chicken parm, wings finished in the wood burning oven, meatballs are extraordinary, salad options and homemade desserts.

Lucali definitely lives up to its reputation as one the best NY Brooklyn style Pizza that you can get. I tried it with ham, pepperoni and sausage and it is probably the best pizza that I have ever had. It has a PERFECT balance of fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, on a slightly charred, crispy crust, hot from the oven. The meat was plentiful and perfectly complemented the base. It would be my go to pizza if it wasn’t so far from where I live. I went on December 27th, for lunch, and there was plenty of seating. Don’t follow the Resy availability (as it’s not accurate) or online recommendations that reservations are required and long waits as it isn’t as bad as what it says online. Just go!

A local guy told us about the place while walking a crosswalk.
By far the best pizza I have ever had. Hands down.
The flavor was so fresh.
I pretty much could have eaten the entire thing by myself.
It was definitely worth riding a bike across the island to enjoy it.
They also had a live DJ playing music.

Food is always top-notch, simple menu with high-quality ingredients. The kale caesar is among the best I’ve tried.
However, it seems that they continue to jack up the prices. $17 for a fairly basic Tuscan wine seems a bit excessive.

Amazing thin, crispy, and simple pizza! Barely any grease, absolutely no flop. I ordered via DoorDash so it sat for a trip and still was great. Almost impossible to try in NYC!
