Slice, Slice Baby: A Fusion of Flavors at San Lucas Pizzeria!
I had very high expectations for San Lucas Pizzeria, and they were almost all met! I heard about this place through social media, with many claiming it to be the best pizza spot in Philly. While I'm not sure I'd call it the best, it certainly offers a unique and flavorful experience.
When you first walk in, you're greeted by a no-frills, mom-and-pop vibe. The dine-in area is tiny and feels a bit dated, but it has its charm as a classic corner shop. We opted for takeout, so I can't speak much to the dine-in atmosphere beyond that.
Now, onto the pizzas! I ordered the Pizza San Lucas and the Pizza Al Pastor. The San Lucas Pizza was solid, but considering it's their signature dish, I expected a bit more. It was on the thicker side, which some might love, but I prefer a thinner crust. The flavors were okay, but I felt like the toppings didn't quite come together or could have used a bit more seasoning.
However, the Pizza Al Pastor was the standout! The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and despite the thicker crust, it totally won me over. The toppings were plentiful and bold, and it was an overall delightful fusion of Mexican and Italian flavors.
While it's not the best pizza I've had in Philly, I certainly wasn't disappointed. If I lived within walking distance, I'd definitely be a regular. San Lucas Pizzeria is worth a try, especially for those curious about fusion pizzas with a twist.
