Lucali
Going to Lucali is a pain in the ass. The 30-seat spot in Carroll Gardens doesn’t take reservations, and hours before opening, a line already stretches from the velvet rope guarding the door to some brownstone’s stoop around the corner. That’s just to put your name on the list. After that, you might have to wait one, two, or five hours before your phone rings and you’re told to arrive in the next ten minutes. So why should you put up with all of this? Because Lucali makes the best pizza in New York City.
Lucali is proud to bring fine New York Italian cuisine and pizza to Miami. Dine on quality, brick-oven pies and crisp salads with only the freshest ingredients involved. Artisanal-grade pizza and Italian cuisine go hand in hand at this one-of-a-kind restaurant. A friendly front of the house and back of the house staff work in tandem to create a unique and enjoyable experience for each guest visits. Dine on innovative pies with fresh toppings like portabella mushrooms, crisp red peppers and all-beef pepperoni. Vegetarians have plenty to choose from with signature salads like the kale caesar.
The light, blistered crust on its own will make you feel the type of emotional connection your ex said you weren’t capable of. It’s thin and chewy, but holds its shape under layers of velvety tomato sauce and three types of cheese. And yet it’s the piles of fresh basil that put the pizza here over the top. The mounds of bright green leaves are so aromatic they hit you when there isn’t even any on a slice. Lucali is pizza’s apex.
