"Declared by actor Jeremy Allen White as serving the best pizza slice in America, this Park Slope pizzeria earns top billing for its slice." - Nadia Chaudhury
"For an old-school New York–style slice I rely on Luigi’s in Park Slope, a shop founded in 1973 by Luigi Lanzo and now run by his son Giovanni; I stick with their plain cheese slice to appreciate the slow-fermented dough and high-quality mozzarella — there’s no flop when you pick it up, but it’s not cracker-thin either — and the sauce strikes a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and salty." - Amelia Schwartz
"Hearty, fold-worthy slices from a shop that looks like it hasn't changed a thing since it opened in 1973. Owner Giovanni will toss the dough high in the air, ladle the sauce on like a master's brush to canvas, then make sure your pie turns out just right." - Jason Powers
"While the future of New York’s old-school slice shop hangs in balance, as they try to keep up with the new players, the ones that do it best know that consistency is key. Luigi’s Pizza, open since 1973 in South Slope, is run by Gio Lanzo, the son of its late founder Luigi, who has kept the recipe the same all these years later." - Emma Orlow, Eater Staff
"Luigi’s opened in 1973 in the same well-worn premises near Green-Wood Cemetery. And now, it’s run by Gio Lanzo, whose father-founder Luigi died a few years ago. The pizza is still being made the same way it has been for the last 51 years. Get a grandma-slice broccoli rabe pizza, a white pie, or a regular pizza with fresh mozzarella or vodka sauce." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
