Perennially packed, the open dining room looks onto the back "kitchen," a table reverentially lit with candles, where Chef Mark Iacono preps his pies and then pops them into the wood-burning oven. Iacono's charred crust approaches cracker-like consistency with air bubbles that give the pie dimension. Atop this amazingly crisp layer (in the restaurant's quieter moments you can actually hear people crunch) rests a sweet homemade tomato sauce, two kinds of mozzarella and a thin layer of Grana Padano. Among the traditional toppings, pungent basil and spicy pepperoni are the best.

incredible pizza and wonderful spot to dine! if you come on the weekend, be prepared to wait! it's generally better (if you can) to come early on a week night. it's worth it!!

I have been to Lucali a handful of times. I always love the vibe and the food is definately delicious. Last night I went again - bringing a friend from out of town - thinking it would be a scrumptious/inexpensive option. I was so-so wrong. We brought our own wine. Ordered a small calzone + a lg. pie (only option) each had two toppings. The bill (without booze, and we are talking pizza here) was 63.00 with tip! We were floored! One topping was 8 dollars ... 8 dollars !! Just saying. SO - I am really amazed that this Brooklyn joint deep in Carroll Gardens has gotten so out of whack. Keep that in mind - I mean this is New York...pizza & bagels are the specialty.

My wife and I arrived at Lucali at 6pm (when it opened) and had to wait about an hour for a table. It was worth it, though. Beautiful atmosphere with great lighting and a generally warm neighborhood feeling all around. The owner makes the pizza at a table at the back of the restaurant. The pie was superb (they also have calzones, but that's it) It's BYOB, so if you want beer or wine with your dinner, be sure to bring it along. Highly recommended.

The Details on Lucali

The Extras:

Lest you stop at the pie, know that an incredibly mild ricotta stuffs the calzone, made with the same thin crust as the pizza.
