Lucia

Soho

I am officially a New York slice snob, and that’s not okay because I have been here for maybe a total of a year and a half. So I really should just hush up and keep my opinion to myself, but I think Joe's is bad, there I said it.

You know where you should be going instead? Lucia in SoHo. It’s a trek but so worth it. No one wants to go waiting in Fini's line on a Sunday or I wouldn’t get close to L’Industrie as it’s a minimum 30-minute excursion - as you can tell, I'm not one of those people who waits in lines (even though if it good).

Lucia is crispy on the bottom, just a little oily, light on cheese, and a perfect amount of sauce. There are zero complaints on my pizza radar. The best I've had so far are the spinach (they're like a white slice, don’t worry, it’s not giving spinach) and the pepperoni peppers slices.

Call me crazy because you all know I am about the experience and not just the food. BUT, go to Happy Grocer beforehand and get the “Light Green Juice”; it’s right when you walk in, in the front fridge. Something happens in my mouth with a slice of Lucia pizza and this juice. It’s just a 10/10 mix.
