It’s definitely not for the lack of the quality of pizza or service. Unlike Lucali’s where guests can wait hours to get seated, this place isn’t quite so much in demand. While it’s nearly identical to Lucali’s, the best part about it is it comes without the wait time. The look, taste and smell of their pizzas are pretty much the same as well. They have the same dimly lit atmosphere, intimate table arrangement and old school neighborhood-y vibe. Not only is this place owned by Lucali’s little brother, it’s basically modeled almost exactly the same. This fantastic pizza joint is owned by Chris Iocano, the younger brother of Mark Iocono who opened Lucali’s.
If Lucali’s is the Prince William of pizzerias in NYC than Giusseppina’s is the Prince Harry.
