Lucini’s Pizzeria

My go-​to place for El Salvadorean and Mexican food. Always suggest it to friends. Perfect for takeout and sells yummy jarritos soda. I recommend the tipico montanero or the queso con loroco pupusa. I could eat those pupusas for each meal!

The dish they call «Ham Carbonara» is to die for! To my untrained palate, it tastes like alfredo sauce rather than a rich egg-​based carbonara, but who cares? This is one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had from a casual pizzeria. The ziti is cooked PERECTLY al dente with just the PERFECT amount of sauce. My biggest complaint about «fast food» pasta is that it is typically overcooked to the point of being mushy and soggy, and is drowning in far too much sauce (yes, I’m talking to you, Bucci’s). At Lucini’s the amount of sauce compliments the ziti, ham (I prefer substituting proscuitto for ham), and peas. I did not need to add salt. I did not need to add pepper. The dish was PERFECT as is, for under $ 10 (more affordable than Dino’s down the street), and the portion size is just a bit too much to eat at one sitting.
Unfortunately, the garden salad was mediocre and suffered from an unusually bland (supposedly) bleu cheese dressing. How the heck can something like bleu cheese be tasteless? The dressing was downright awful.
The bread is worth mentioning; thick and fluffy triangular pillows served warm. I was quite impressed.
Bottom Line: with pasta and bread this tasty, I will never eat a low-​carb diet again.

I ordered from here a few weeks ago just because I wanted to try something a bit different. I ordered the Crazy Gobbler Wrap which has turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayo. The wraps come with a bag of chips on the side so that was a definite plus. The wrap was okay but the turkey was abnormally soft. Pretty much like the cheapest turkey breast you can buy in the deli. The stuffing was decent and i loved the whole berry cranberry sauce they used. I think it would just be great if they upgraded the quality of the turkey. I will try and order more from the menu at some point. They have pretty good specials on the menu and they have some super speedy delivery. My order was here in 10 – 15 minutes tops and I am in the next town.
