Lucy Blue Pizza

Lucy Blue’s has opened in a new location. The location is actually pretty nice, as they remodeled the space quite well. They have a nice wine list, and they’re well stocked with plenty of good beer.
Sadly, the pizza remains the same.
We wandered in here around 12:40 on a Saturday. 3 guys, having had a few drinks. This should be the prime Lucy Blue’s clientele. I mean, you kind of have to be drunk to enjoy this pizza. We came in and ordered 1 – 2 slices apiece. At around $ 2.50 each, this came out to $ 5 a person. The guy taking our order tried to upsell us, but c’mon, it’s Lucy Blue’s.
As we were leaving we heard them gripe about the low credit card order. And I get that. But you’re Lucy Blue’s, you’re open late, and you serve terrible pizza. This is what you’re going to get — drunk people wandering in late looking for solid carbs, not more beer. Not to sit and enjoy it. I would understand if the menu had more items, and supposedly it does or it will, but there was no hint of a menu when we walked in. Just pizza sitting in the heated box by the window, getting drier and drier by the minute.
Which, really, is what you get at Lucy Blue’s. The herbed dough is hand made, but somehow still gets that cardboard consistency. The sauce is ok. The cheese is low quality and sparse. The pizza can be held up vertically without either folding and without any grease running off. The toppings options, unless you order a whole pie, are cheese or pepperoni, or more accurately whatever is sitting and drying in that box, ready to go. This is nowhere near the New York style place it tries to emulate, with tons of different slices sitting, waiting, and moving quickly. This is pizza that probably costs $ 0.15 a slice being sold for $ 2.50 to drunken idiots late at night (myself included.)
I get that it’s a nicer location. I get that the menu either does or will include subs. The pizza, though, is still the same ultra-​low-​end stuff they sell out of a window, and when you’re open past midnight directly next to Japp’s and Neon’s you’re going to get a bunch of people that just want two slices and to be on their drunken, merry way. Don’t complain about that clientele. At least, not until you raise the quality of the product to appeal to anyone not drunk.
