I left disappointed. We arrived at 7 PM and were seated immediately. The restaurant was maybe 1/2 full. Everyone was welcoming. Our server was friendly and attentive. All good! I'm ready to eat... SIGH! We split a 12" Bufala pizza that was ok, not bad, but just ok - nothing like the pies at the original. At $17 for a 12" pie, I expect true yumminess. My mixed green salad w/balsamic vinegar was underdressed and the cherry tomatoes were actually bitter ($7). My friend had an arugula salad ($9) that she said was ok. We didn't bother with dessert. Too bad - I won't bother going back. Thu Oct 22 08:22:31 -0700 2009 1117947 EM23 1 5163018 Luzzo's I have to say that I was disappointed by this stop. For some reason a simple Margherita Piizza is trashed by a high price. The prices are at the level of when you visit New York CIty and go out for dinner. Crazy, the 12 inch is a disgrace at the price. I would not suggest anyone even stop . Go to Grimaldies consistent and reasonable. Even better go to Massa Pizza in Huntington Sat Nov 07 06:47:25 -0800 2009 5122559 72719 friendlyman4349 2 5163278 On my last visit to Massa's, the pizza was troublingly wet. Has anyone noticed a drop-off in quality since Bill Massa left? Sat Nov 07 09:14:50 -0800 2009 5163018 10267 emarcus 3 5163912 Agree. The pizza is not nearly as good as it used to be.

I'd say its almost as good as it used to be - certainly the best (er...only) pizza of this style in Huntington...

I should have left when I saw that the ladies room was dirty, out of toilet paper and had a broken faucet. Would have gone to Cheesecake Factory if I knew I didn't have to wait an hour on a Sat night for a table. Service was poor, waiters were young and inexperienced. The vegetable pizza was absolutely tasteless. Stick to Umberto's in New Hyde Park or Grimaldi's in Garden City. Thu Nov 12 14:11:49 -0800 2009 5122559 31191 debster
