Luca’s New York Style Pizza

Greasy and undercooked. Really big pizza but quality was poor.

This small pizza shop really has good pizza. Food is take out or delivery only. There is a charge for using credit cards and a charge if you have the pizza delivered.

Great pizza sauce is a little salty besides that really good will be coming back to try other items.

One of the worst, or maybe the worst pizza I’ve had in my life. I have no idea why someone may enjoy the pizza here. To be fair, the crust is fine, but what is on top of it is both too cheesy and tasteless. I lived in Philadelphia, and pizza is so good there. All the pizza I’ve had in Ohio have been really bad, but this one killed my appetite for a long while. The first time in my life I throw my pizza away. I hate to say this about this business because people where nice, but…

Man I love this place I’ve ordered here more than 8 times best pizza around! And the owner has been at it for decades! Started with a pizza cart in the Midwest

Good New York style pizza. Definitely large and worth the price. Pretty decent topping quality.

$ 1.00 charge to use a credit card, advertised fees of up to $ 4.00 for delivery and canned mushrooms on the pizza. The prices are high so I assumed the pizza would be good. To be honest it was less appealing than Papa Johns, won’t be back. Way overpriced

Best Pesto Pizza Ever! Great Dough, Worth the Price and the delivery wait. If I still lived in Stow I would continue to order pizza from them again and again. Oh, and the cannolis are awesome!

I visited Luca’s New York Style Pizza for the first time on a Friday evening. I called in about 30 minutes before they closed and told the woman on the phone that it was my first time and asked if there was anything she highly recommended. We decided on the Spero’s Vampire Lover’s pizza and she suggested a couple cannolis as well!
When I drove to there I thought my GPS let me down because when I turned onto Darrow Rd all I saw was the car dealership! After turning around I realized that they were the tiny building in front of it. They are definitely easy to miss!
I was a little unsure how I felt about the pizza so I visited again the next weekend and got a custom pizza to make sure I had a good understanding of their food before leaving my review.
On my first visit I was chatting with the owner while my pizza was finishing cooking. I told him that I really like NY style pizza and that I have not found too many places around that make it well. He asked which places I liked and then scoffed at my answer and insinuated that they do not come close to Luca’s pizza.
But unfortunately I absolutely do not like this pizza. The sauce has very little flavor, the toppings are sparse and at least some of them come from cans. The first pizza’s crust seemed stale, and the middle is so soggy that it does not even get completely cooked.
I will not return again. Both experiences were disappointing and a waste of money.
*Edit*
For some reason, people (including some associated with the restaurant) keep messaging me saying thinks like «the majority of pizzerias use canned…» or «I’ve worked at lots of shops and all used canned…», etc and even though that was a minor point in my review it kinda shows my point that this place is just like all the rest. And most places are not great. So when you combine the fact that they only strive to be like all the other places and the anecdotal facts that my two meals were not good at all, that is how you reach 2 stars (which Unilocal describes as «Meh, I’ve had better.»)

Best NY style pizza around. I wish it was cooked just a LITTLE longer, but you can’t go wrong with the large slices, thin crust and amazing flavor. Take-​out only!

First time I tried this place. Delivery was fast and food was hot. However, there is too much dough in the Stromboli and not enough ingredients. I think half of it was empty dough and at $ 10 I think I could have done better with my money somewhere else.

I was very disappointed by the food delivered to me which was 25 min late ! The subs at crammed into a styrofoam box on top of a few fries which get soggy from the subs. The steak sub had meat that didn’t even cover half the bun. Unfortunately the Italian sub was not much better had very little meat and lots of lettuce.

Good place. Ordered a large, 3-​topping on a Saturday night. Picked it up, was not disappointed. A bit sad they have a $ 0.75 credit card fee, but it’s no deal breaker. I’ll bring cash next time.
Luca’s called me to make sure I was coming to pick up the pizza when I got stuck in traffic. Pizza was still plenty hot when I got it. Good work.

I seriously LOVE this place! The pizza is so incredibly delicious and the speciality pizzas are phenomenal. I tried the Garlic Knots last weekend and they were great — way better than the typical garlic bread other places have. The pieces are also huge and you definitely get your money’s worth! I’m glad I found this place!

Huge portions and great taste! I don’t mind paying the price for the quality. Calzone is huge as well. No complaints and always a favorite when we decide to get pizza!

I love Luca’s pizza! It’s the best New York style pizza in the area. It’s a little pricey, but worth it! I give it 4 stars because I went to pick up the pizza once and one of the employees was being very rude and talking back to the owner. It was really awkward.

Coming from northeast Ohio and being used to the local versions, I am not a big fan of the «New York Style» pizza. I don’t specifically dislike it, but, like most people, prefer what I ate while growing up. With that out of the way, I found myself in the neighborhood of Luca’s Pizza the other day and decided to try them. I made that decision before I realized it was «New York Style.»
Viewed from the street, Luca’s looks like someone knocked down a house and all that’s left standing is the entryway and the kitchen. Intriguing. Almost makes you want to stop just to see what’s inside. They offer carryout only. I am not aware if they offer coupons since I am not from their part of town and wouldn’t receive their flyers. My GPS lists another name for the establishment so I presume that Luca’s has been there for only a few years.
Their small pizza lists as 14 inches and costs $ 8.99. I had pepperoni added for another $ 1.50. The pizza measured in at a full 14 inches, with maybe ¾ to 1 inch of crust around the edge. This style of pizza is known for a very thin crust and Luca’s holds to that tradition very well. The bottom was baked to a dark brown without being burnt and was chewy without being hard. Sauce was good and tasty. Cheese was adequate and enough to let you taste it. The best part was the pepperoni. All 27 slices of them were deliciously spicy. I prefer my pepperoni to be cooked longer, probably another five minutes until they become darker and more crisp, but realize that the extra time needed to do so would have turned the crust into cardboard. But their spiciness made up for that.
I was torn between awarding three or four stars to Luca’s (again, not the biggest fan of «New York Style»). But the following day when I nuked and ate what was left over, I enjoyed the pizza even more. There’s something about reheated day-​old pizza that tells a different story. Luca’s told me that the flavors, the spiciness, the melted cheese and thin crust combined just right to create a fantastic flavorful chewy experience. They earned that fourth star. They next time I order from Luca’s I will probably order a larger pizza or save more for the following day.

Being from the New York area, I have found most Ohio pizza appalling. This is the best NY-​style pizza I have found anywhere in Ohio. The sauce is great. I recommend getting spinach, mushrooms, and broccoli. Prices can be a little steep (for pizza), and the delivery times on weekends can be a bit absurd. They also mess up my order ¹⁄₅ of the time, but they are typically apologetic. I highly recommend Luca’s.
Also, look for coupons on their website and in the mail!

So we just had this pizza and I loved it. It is probably the best thin crust pizza in Cuyahoga falls, maybe that I have ever had. We had the white pizza and it was definitely cheesy and garlicky. There wasn’t much of a sauce but if you dip it in their red sauce… it is solid. We also tried their Stromboli and this was was huge and packed. It was greasy and cheesy and everything you want in a Stromboli. The dough was part if what made this so good. It’s chewy and wonderful. Whatever you get form here, get a side of their red sauce, it is the best sauce from a pizza place I have ever had and I look forward to trying a different pizza with it on it.
There are only 2 reasons why this didn’t get 5 stars, one the price. We got a medium white pizza and a Stromboli and it was $ 24. That’s pretty steep… but I would pay it again in a heartbeat for the food. Also, the pizza had so much cheese and no sauce that it was almost too much cheese. Almost. It had roasted garlic and homemade ricotta on the pizza. I would rate this ricotta 5 stars ok questions asked, and I even make my own. This was creamy, and just delicious. I have never had ricotta like that and to put it on the white pizza was a perfect combo.
I will absolutely be back here and I look forward to it. By the way, one medium pizza would have been more than enough for dinner for the 2 of us. It was enormous.

Worth another chance… great sauce… good crust. on the pie… just the right balance of chewy and foldable for a NY style. but the poor garlic knots were over cooked and hard as rocks.
Vampire Lovers pie had a great roasted garlic taste… but the pepperoni was tasteless… over all it was REALLY greasy… seems to be a theme in this area for some reason.
The large is huge… 18 inches… so it was 6 paper towels to mop it up and thankfully I had a cover on my passenger seat for the 5 mile ride home as the box was soaked with grease.
They offer sandwiches and chicken fingers… even a nutella dessert pie… as well as salads and cannoli… so we will give it another try for salad and sandwiches.
No seating… no parking lot… just sort of pull over to the side of the road to pick up… or they offer delivery.
