Luigi’s

Second night of having Italian so my review may be a bit biased. I had the lasagna which was pretty good but I cannot say it stood out to me as spectacular. My family seemed to enjoy their meals. I thought it was nice of the restaurant to give a fam member a piece of cake for free (his birthday).

This place is a disorganized train wreck. At 7 on a Thursday it took several minutes just to be greeted and they seemed completely unprepared for six guests. Like the other mass produced tasting Food Fight places, this place is just not worth the cost or trouble.

We ordered a couple pizzas to be delivered to our work, so I can’t review being at the actual establishment. Nonetheless, I was impressed by their pizzas! It was my first time having Luigi’s so I’m glad to add this place to our pizza options if we get any cravings.
The florentine pizza was extremely delicious. The white sauce was creamy, but not too heavy. The roasted garlic can be overpowering at times, but I love garlic, so I can’t complain. The fancy salad was easily my favorite part of the meal, which is surprising since I love pizza. The toppings on the salad were a perfect complement to each other. Can’t wait to try this place again!

This place is absolutely incredible. The food is amazing! I have had the best pizza of my entire life here. It was a special but it had olive oil, mushrooms, spinach, and more stuff on it. You could really taste the olive oil and it was so high quality and delicious. We went on a Tuesday night and we were seated right away but I have been on other nights and it takes a very long time. But, the food is incredible so I’m generally inclined to wait. Every waiter that I’ve had has been incredibly nice and helpful.

This review is for delivery. Pizza was not satisfying, and pasta entrée was a very small portion – only 7 dumplings. Don’t waste your money. Overpriced and underwhelming food.

Amazing pizza! The atmosphere is casual yet a bit fancy. This is the first time we have had Luigi’s but it is now my favorite pizzeria. The pizza was mouth-​watering and didn’t hurt my wallet.

So my friend and I snuck out of work for a lunch date. We called in a pizza order as we were driving so it would be ready when we got there. We enjoyed a pizza that came out soon after we sat down.
Our wait staff was friendly and helpful to get us back to work in time for the afternoon. Luigi’s is a nice neighborhood gem.

Think: friendly, neighborhood pizzeria.
Luigi’s starts with 3.5 to 4.5 stars for doing a good job as a reasonable, sit-​down pizza place with very respectable pizzas.
So in a city with an abundance of pizza offerings, is there a place for another pizza joint?
For Luigis’s the answer is Yes. Here’s why:
–Wide selection of different, yet inspired, pizza offerings — in particular, about half the pizza menu is white sauce pizzas. Consider the Bada Bing, which includes grilled asparagus, caramelized onions, bacon (plus other toppings) on a white sauce.
–Sit-​down dining; a great option for families or small groups that want something nicer than dining but not over-​the-​top
–Thin crust (corn-​meal crusted) is an excellent option
–Location: it’s nice having an option on the near West side that’s not HillDale or University Ave. Sequoya Commons also hosts the public library and The Chocolate Shoppe which makes for a great line-​up for some quality family time.
It’s 4.5 but I’m rounding up since service is friendly and earnest.

Pizza and salads are good. Can be a little greasy. Here’s my beef. The smallest pizza they offer on the menu is a 12 inch. If you have a gluten allergy, you can order a «gluten friendly» crust. They only offer one size for this-​a 10 inch, for an additional $ 5. FIVE DOLLARS MORE! That’s highway robbery.
The gluten friendly crust is pretty good, but I will go elsewhere just on principal.

Had the worst experience with delivery. Took 1.5 hours to arrive and then it did it was cold. The pizza was so salty and greasy. Got a refund but very disappointed!

So after browsing at the nearby Sequoya library I stroll over and order a pepperoni pie. Waiter was pleasant, even chit chatted briefly. Small place but rhe seating was comfortable. I chose the wood bench but it was soft and curved to my spine. Felt like a massage.
So my pie comes and it looks homemade. The cheese is everywhere, sliding onto the crust edges and off it. But that doesn’t perturb me in any way. I dig in.
I’m in love with the crispy, cornmealy crust. It’s thin so I get to enjoy not having a mouth full of dough. Instead I get a mouthful of golden, crispy goodness. And it’s greasy folks. At first its that good kind of greasy. After there’s only a quarter of pizza left I start thinking about fat and calories so I take a napkin and soak up the grease. I’m guilty pleasuring with this greasy pie, but I don’t want to fall into total depravity.
The last slice is soggy from the grease but I still ate that bad boy. So I take one star away for that.

Luigi’s…today was my first visit. Service, good! Salad, good! Pizza, GOOD!!! Our server was lovely with just the right level of attentiveness. I ordered the Italian Chef salad and the personal sized Bada Bing pizza for lunch. Loved it!
The kalamata olives on the salad really worked and the pizza, wow! I’m a big fan of white pizza and this one was no exception. The crust was perfect, in my book, and the combination of bacon, fontina cheese and caramelized onions was sheer happiness in my mouth. I can’t wait to try out more of their menu!

Some of the best thin crust pizza I have had! Cute décor, lots of interesting lighting (one booth has a light up disco ball), and daily specials.
Fresh Sangria & desserts finish you off. We had two different salads to start, mine had a bit too much dressing but not a big negative for me.
Prices were also very reasonable with $ 2 kids meals.

Wonderful white sauce pizzas!!! Fresh ingredients and the sausage is the best!
Red sauce pizzas not as great. love the thin crust… reasonable price and great customer service

Luigi’s is a staple for my wife and I. Their menu creatively pairs fresh ingredients that I would not normally have expected to go well together and doesn’t just make them work, they are made to work very well.
We’ve had perhaps a dozen pizzas from them and have not been disappointed once.
Their pasta is very good but not nearly so standout as their pizza (which I suppose is why it is Luigi’s Pizzeria and not Luigi’s Pastaria).
If you have a hankering for some brilliant combinations that stray from your usual «Sausage and pepperoni» fare Luigi’s is a must.

We tried Luigi’s last night for the first time and we were pleasantly surprised. It’s a nice cosy place that could probably get a little busy on a Friday night however we got right in and seated right away. The hostess was great and took time to explain some promotions while getting us seated quickly. Right after that our very friendly waitress came and got us settled with our drinks and an app (cheese bread, which was perfect) and came back and took our order in a nice timely manner. All in all we were in and out in ~45 minutes.
First things first, I don’t care how old you are who doesn’t love drawing on a huge sheet of paper with crayons? Why don’t more restaurants do this? Our food could have taken hours to come out and I wouldn’t have noticed. I had masterpieces to create.
We ordered a 16″ florentine pizza which was probably a bit much for two especially after the appetizer. It was dynamite, I think the white sauce was my favorite part. Gave a great base for the rest of the flavors. I haven’t got a clue what specific brand of bacon they use but it had a good smoky flavor that was hard to miss. Another notable, my girlfriend ordered wine which is usually a peeve of mine because it’s usually some ordinary wine and you pay $ 8 for a glass when the bottle was maybe $ 13 to begin with. I’m not a wine drinker and I have no idea what the quality of wine is there BUT THE IMPORTANT PART IS they gave her enough wine to justify the price of ordering wine. So I was pleased to see that. Im sure that makes me sound cheap but it’s always something that’s baffled me. Luigi’s serving size made me feel better about it
As we were leaving the hostess and every employee along the way thanked us and asked us to come back, and we will!

Super quick service, a cozy atmosphere and delicious pizza. This place is great! My boyfriend and I came here for a date on a Saturday night without a reservation and were seated right away. I ordered a glass of Chardonnay and was pleasantly surprised with how much wine they give you (no such thing as too much wine).
We ordered the Garlic Cheese Bread to start, which was yummy and cheap. And for our pizza we chose the Florentine pizza. I really enjoyed their white sauce, it was super creamy but not too rich. Sometimes white sauces can leave you feeling kind of gross but this one definitely didn’t. We both loved the pizza, only complaint I had was the crust got a little soggy. I like thin crust pizzas that retain a little bit of crunch.
Did I mention that they give you crayons and put a big white piece of craft paper on top of your table? That was pretty fun.

I was going to rate this four stars, but then asked myself «why only 4»? And I had no good answer.
I took a colleague there for lunch (his suggestion) and we both ordered the lunch special (small salad, small pizza) for $ 8.99. And holy cow was that good!
First the salad. I wouldn’t call them «small». It wasn’t huge either, but for being 50% of the meal, it was properly sized. I had «the Arthur», which was very tasty. The roasted peppers weren’t overpowering and the candied walnuts added a nice zest I didn’t expect.
Next, the pizzas. The lunch combo comes with a 6-​inch pizza. While I could have eaten more, it was an appropriate lunch portion. Since it was my first visit, I went with a standard Italian sausage ‘za. Gotta have a benchmark… Oh my! The crust… the sauce… the sausage… the cheese — it was all fantastic. I *wish* I had more! My colleague got «the rocket» pizza, which looked really good (on the menu write-​up as well as on the table). I will get that one next time…
For me, this wouldn’t be a «grab a pizza on the way home» sort of meal. This is a «I deserve a fancy treat for lunch» establishment. Lucky for me, I deserve treats often, and I will be back again!

I really like this place. The staff are always friendly and memorable, and the food is great.
The pizzas are thin with a perfectly crispy crust. My husband orders the sausage and adds mushrooms. It’s really good. He eats about ²⁄₃ of it and has a nice treat for breakfast the next day.
I really like their «fancy salad» with fresh greens, bleu cheese, real bacon bits and avocado slices. So darn good.
The cheese bread has roasted red peppers, bleu cheese and bacon, topped with mozzarella. Wow, that’s good stuff!
It’s a cute restaurant in a handy location. Save room for ice cream at Chocolate Shoppe!

Always searching for a lunch deal — that’s me. Luigi’s may become my near West side place to go when I am out doing errands and crave some cheezy fresh pizza and a salad.
Lunch special — ANY pizza at 6 inch size with ANY small salad for $ 8.99. That is a good deal when the pizza is truly handmade with fresh mozz.
I chose the housemade spicy sausage pizza and the arugula salad. Crust was thin and perfect really. (fyi– I am super picky about pizza crust.) Sausage was tasty.
The salad was BIG for a small salad; it came with lots of caramelized onions, walnuts and fresh goat cheese.
While a 6 in. pizza would not satisfy my husband — for me it is exactly right for lunch.
Service was very friendly and prompt even though the place was busy at noon with 80% tables full and one large kid party.
Tables have paper covers and crayons– fun!
They were offering some fresh fruit Sangrias — which sounded awesome — must go back and try those!
