Lukali's 01/10/2009 4.25/5 stars

Welcome!
My first review!

Ok, before I get into this, I would like to introduce myself:
My name is Dan and I am an aspiring food critic. I happen to be totally blind, but I am "normal" and very independent. In fact, my first food critic review is from a restaurant located in Brooklyn; I took three subways just to get there!
Please leave me your feedback in the comments section, I am serious about this and I wish to be a real food critic someday, maybe for The New York Times or for a reputable magazine.
So, without any further delay, here is my first food critic review:


Lucali's
573 Henry St.
Brooklyn, Ny
Rating: 4.25 stars (out of 5)
I traveled through the snow to try Lucali's with four of my friends last night. I was initially worried because of all the hype regarding this restaurant;
after all it was the number one pizza restaurant in this year's Zagat survey with a rating of 27/30. However, Lucali's did not disappoint. The ambiance
was of a much higher quality than in most pizza establishments. Our waitress was quite helpful and she explained our choices in terms of pizza and toppings.
I am personally a fan of mushroom pizza, and when it arrived at our table, a mere 25 minutes later, I was impressed. It started out with a thin crust,
and very light as far as pizza is concerned. The crust was extremely crispy and melts in your mouth. Lucali's uses a very nice mix of cheese on the pizza
which tasted fresh and flavorful. In addition, the sauce had a great flavor with just the right amount of spices and tomatoes. Overall, I really enjoyed
this experience. I have been to a few of the city's best pizza restaurants, and this is comparable with any of them. I had a great time and I would really
like to return.
