lucali
Dating Profile
Renowned pizzeria in Carroll Gardens serving brick oven pies in a rustic setting adorned with boxing gloves and Coca-Cola signs
Flirty Factor
It’s as straightforward and simple as their menu - Lucali is arguably the best pizza in NYC. Chef and owner Mark Iacono has created the most iconic pizzeria where guests can observe chefs rolling out the dough with wine bottles and indulge in tomato sauce so fresh they’ll be asking for it on the side to dip the crust.
Order the 2 dishes displayed on the chalkboard menu: the pizza (so phenomenal it doesn’t even need toppings) and the calzone (made with a combination of mozzarella and ricotta). It’s absolutely worth venturing to old-school Brooklyn and waiting in the line down Henry St. to feast on Mark’s supreme wood-fired pies and off-menu surprises.
