San Lucas Pizzeria

Four stars for creativity with the eclectic toppings. Three stars for the pizza itself. I had ranchos pizza, which is better than average pizza because you get to play with trying to get all the toppings in your mouth without tipping over. I am not into Mexican food much because I have those unusual taste buds than everyone else. Lol. I might try something else next time. Maybe Hawaiian pizza.
But for pizza itself, Im still a Lorenzo’s (South Street) pizza girl.

How can I nominate this for best pizza in Philadelphia (al pastor)? Seriously, I am addicted.

This was one of the most original pieces of pizza I’d ever eaten, and it was delicious. A huge piece of al pastor pizza with handmade cheese pizza on the bottom, hot sauce and the al pastor fillings that normally go in a taco on top. The toppings were super freshly made (I watched him) and he put a ton of the pork, pineapple, onion and cilantro topping. Putting lime on a pizza was odd but the taste was amazing! Cannot be beaten for $ 3.

San Lucas is tucked away in a poorly-​lit neighborhood in South Philly, and if it weren’t for my craving for really good pizza and Unilocal,I would have never known about this hidden gem.
While there aren’t many reviews, I was drawn in by the incorporation of Mexican food with pizza and had to check this place out. I ordered the pizza al Pastor for take out and my only regret is that I didn’t order a large (*I ordered the small which is plenty for 1 person and maybe even 2, but the leftovers are worth saving for all to yourself!)
This pizza is ridiculous. They take normal pizza dough and magically created a new breed of pizza. It’s really mind-​boggling. I couldn’t decide if was eating was a pizza or a taco, or… I don’t even know– The spicy sauce perfectly pairs with the carne al pastor which is topped with melted cheese, fresh cilantro and red onions– a brilliant combination.
We also ordered the Hawaiian, which was still better than the average pizza joint, but I’d much rather order one of San Lucas’ creations unless you’re craving a more ‘traditional’ pizza.
And lastly, the prices are great. For two small pizzas, the total was $ 13.50, but it’s CASH ONLY! We had to run to an ATM because we didn’t realize this on our first visit.
I’d have to say that this is one of the best finds I’ve come across on Unilocal

These toppings are nuts. If you’ve ever wondered what Mexican food tastes like on pizza, look no further. Genius.
This shit is not expensive. The large pizza is ginormous, and costs about $ 16 with all the crazy special toppings (al pastor! but only if you like raw onions). I think it’s more like $ 9 for a huge plain. Cheap and pretty good crust/​cheese too, especially for Philly pizza. Can’t speak for the sauce, the al pastor comes with deliciously spicy salsa roja instead of normal tomato.
I will most definitely be back to try the Alambre: cheesesteak, bacon, peppers, and onions. Mmm. I’m salivating just thinking about it.

I went there once, and it was amazing. I now go at least twice a week, because not only are the toppings incredible and the food delicious (beans, chorizo, and veggies on a light fluffy crust? genuis!) but it’s also damn cheap! I can’t believe this place has been open for 5 years and more hipsters haven’t discovered it.
