Lucci's Place

It’s very rare to find a place that still serves pizza by the slice. It’s even more rare for that slice of pizza to be amazing. Lucci’s Place nails every aspect of a great slice of pizza.

Lucia's Place just beat out Sabarros! Originally from Philly now NEO. ISO of a good thin crust pizza. They nailed the crust and the bit of cornmeal underneath, nice touch. I like a bit more sauce, but early read is not to sweet.

Awesome pizza! If you like sausage on your pizza, they have the very best.

Price is reasonable, so it’s worth a try if you’re tired of the chain pizza joints.

Crust tastes great but feels like it was stretched too thin, which would have been fine had it been somewhat crisp. Maybe my pie was just a bit under baked if a crispy thin crust is what they’re going for.

Sauce is flavorful and tastes like tomatoes not just the distant memory of them with tons of sugar added or anything like that. Though it was very thinly applied, some bites were essentially biting into a white pizza.

The pizza was also fairly greasy, though that doesn’t bother me that much. It is worth being said, as a lot of people dislike that.

I will say it seems that they’re using decent ingredients, the dough tastes fresh and definitely isn’t filled with stabilizers like that of the national chains. Toppings were moderately generous, although the pepperoni tasted a bit too hamy for my preferences.

Verdict: Worth a try.

The cost to quality ratio seems to be on point. I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt that maybe my pie was not their best or standard. I will update as I’ll likely try it again in a couple months.

I never would have imagined that I would find a perfect New York style pizza in Ohio. It was the perfect crust - crisp around the edge but fluffy & tender inside. The topping : sauce : cheese ratio was perfectly balanced. I spend a lot of time traveling for work. I always strive to eat the best food I can when I'm on the road, which doesn't always happen (especially in small towns). It's so nice to find a gem like Lucci's and if I'm ever back in Kent, I'll definitely eat here again. Thanks, guys!
