Crystal Coast vacationers can satisfy a pizza craving with a quick visit to Luigi’s Pizza. Well-known among Carteret County locals as one of the most satisfying pies around, Luigi’s features gigantic, New York-style pizzas that barely fit inside the huge flat pizza boxes.
Pizza sizes come in 16”, 18”, and 20”, (which is more than enough to feed a hungry crowd), and there are plenty of topping options available, including meatballs, sausage, beef and veggies, as well as more unusual extras like fresh garlic, anchovies and salami. Visitors who can’t decide how to top a pie can also elect to try one of Luigi’s specialty pizzas, such as the white pizza with ricotta and mozzarella, or the Brusceita Pizza, with cheese, tomatoes, onions, olive oil, garlic, oregano, and basil. For smaller parties or smaller appetites, Luigi’s Pizza also features pizza by the slice, hot and cold sandwiches, and Italian classics like baked ziti, lasagna, manicotti, and spaghetti with meatballs.
While casual booth-seating is available for a handful of smaller parties, visitors will most likely want to stop by for a take-out order to enjoy the decadent, gooey pizzas with a crowd. Filling and well-crafted, Luigi’s Pizza is a welcome little slice of New York in the heart of the Crystal Coast.
