"A Golden Hill staple, Pizzeria Luigi is considered one of San Diego’s best examples of New York-style pies, with to-go slices at the ready. There’s also a shop on El Cajon Boulevard and in Imperial Beach. The locations all do a brisk takeout business, but there are some indoor seats (and billiards tables) available for those who want to hang around." - darlene-horn
"Just how many pizzerias named Luigi’s are there in the five boroughs? Plenty, we’re sure. Located in Greenwood Heights, this one (founded in 1973) functions as a sort of community center in a neighborhood increasingly uncertain how to define itself. The pizzas are especially good, with some relatively unusual toppings, including a wonderful pie with soppressata and jalapeños, fusing old and new aspects of the neighborhood." - Robert Sietsema

"New York-style pizza reigns supreme at this pie shop. Walk in for a couple slices with your favorite toppings and a pint. Pizzeria Luigi also does carryout, though downing two slices and a drink in the back patio just hits a little different." - Mario A. Cortez
