Lucia of the Upper Eastside

Rooted in a Brooklyn lineage dating back to the 1970s, this Italian-American eatery builds its New York-style pizza with a crisp, low-grease crunch. The classic cheese slice pairs a slightly sweet sauce with a balanced cheese layer, served alongside pull-apart garlic knots. While simple counter lines can form, visitor experiences note a contrast between standard pie options and signature slices, alongside trade-offs like higher slice pricing and card transaction fees.
