A college friend of my fiance’s has begun holding mini reunions the third Thursday of every month. Yesterday was the first we attended, hosted at Luzzo’s. The invitation had confused me, miscalling the place Puzzo’s - which does not exist on the internet, but is a fairly amusing name.

The restaurant location is inconvenient from all subway lines but the L. After a cold walk over, we arrived to find the group seated at a table all the way in the back, right next to the kitchen. I ended up in the unfortunate seat closest to the kitchen entrance, and throughout the night got jarred by inconsiderate servers rushing past. This and the fact that we had to practically beg for water refills throughout the meal left me with a bad impression of Luzzo’s service. We split several large pizzas, including the bufalo and mushroom. Everything tasted delicious. We also split a few bottles of red wine, all relatively inexpensive.

This establishment definitely serves a tasty, authentic Italian pizza for a reasonable price. But everything else about the place just left me unimpressed.
