Luigi's Pizza Fresca - Philadelphia

Great pizza at fair prices<br/ <br/ Super-fresh ingredients and done to perfection make for an excellent pizza pie. I especially enjoyed a fresh veggie pizza, with wonderful sauce. And I think their prices are reasonable for what you get.

The owner, Luigi, is from Naples Italy), my wife's hometown, so he knows how to cook proper Italian. The food is incredible, the portions huge, and the prices extremely fair. We found Luigi's after a short visit to Eastern State Penitentiary, just down the street a few blocks they are also just a few blocks east of the Philadelphia Museum of Art). A simple place, it looks like a takeout pizza joint where you can get a slice and a soda and sit if you want, but the menu is much more extensive than you might think. Beside pizza, sandwiches, pasta, and salads, they offer chicken parmigiana, veal parmigiana, eggplant parmigiana, and chicken cacciatore, all $10.95, including a large side of pasta $2.50 more for gnocchi, tortellini, or ravioli).

My high hopes of finding a local pizza shop have been met! Since moving to the city I have been on the search for a pizza shop that meets my expectations. Their pizza is very tasty and has a good fluffy crust. I’m happy to order from here and receive a good consistent pizza. I have also tried other menus items that have not disappointed either.

Luigi was a super solid experience. The calzoni was the size of two forearms and the sauce was a delicious addition. The pizza slices also got a good review from my fiancee. Will definitely go again if in the area.

The pizza is both delicious and affordable. The staff was helpful and friendly. I sincerely enjoyed my dining experience.
