Luigi’s Tahoe Pizzeria

They’re out of business now. Its gonna be a burger place, should be good. Probably worth a try when they open.

Out-​of towners, starving, and no idea where to go put me on the hunt for a great pizzeria. After reading some Unilocal reviews, I decided to give this place a try. We were not disappointed!
Tucked away behind a Chevron station in lower Kingsbury, so it’s a bit hard to find. Seems like it could be a local hang-​out since it was very busy. It had a great bar area too. The owner was super friendly which added to the «local feel.»
The pizza is thinner crust but loaded with fresh toppings. (I mean loaded!) The slices are also larger so the large size goes a long way. The quality and freshness is better than anything you’d find at a pizza chain, but not pricey!
It was very delicious and satisfied our pizza craving! Can’t wait to go back again!

Owner was nice. Took my family there and they had a problem with a server so food was slow. But this was explained to us. Pizzas were fresh and delicious. I took some of the Advice on Unilocal and did thick crust. It was great!

I really wanted to love you guys.
Staying within walkin distance, like .2 mile. Read all 75 Unilocal reviews and was stoked to try the pizza.
Called at 8:45 p. m on 8÷6÷15 when your closing time was 9 p.m. and never got an answer twice. As a common courtesy, you could pick up the phone and tell people you’re not willing to take an order 15 minutes before you close. When working through school I worked at a pizza place and the owner insisted we take in customers prior to closing without question. With that said.
Disappointing. Look at my history of reviews and 1 stars are rare. With that said, I’m still hungry.
I will never patronize your establishment based on my personal experience.
On a sidenote, after reading the bulk of the Unilocal reviews, you are overpriced, especially your prices on your sandwiches and stromboli, but I was so hungry, I was willing to be gauged. C’est la vie.

Thanks for some great pizza, just the way we like it. Thinner crust and the right amount of toppings. Debbie was way cool and treated us very nice and was a pleasure to speak with in addition to the other girl working there! Thanks for a great night and the end of our vacation!

Fantastic pizza! I mean really outstanding! They make their own dough, sauce, and use a 5 cheese blend! One of those few times you don’t want to stop eating because it tastes so good! Truly wonderful!

Excellent pizza and service. Debbie was very nice and attentive.
More of a local place. Low key but just what we wanted. Came from out of town and we tried to go to the base camp pizza place but that was over an hour wait. So we searched for another place and found Luigis.
We ordered the greek salad. Very good. Came with 3 different pils, balsamic, red wine vinaigrette and olive oil. Liked the choices. The we had the carnivor pizza. Wow! Very good meats. Debbie said they make their own dough, use 5 cheeses and the finest meats. We were very happy.

Excellent pizza. They do take out and the pizza is hot when I get it home.
A very nice bar and dining area. Clean. The owner let me try one of their ales on tap that she recommended and it was ice cold and fantastic.
There is a nice laundromat next door, so this would be a great place to hang out while having to do my least favorite chore.
A little hard to see; located behind the big Chevron station on lower Kingsbury.

We went in 30 min before closing, party of 7! Debi very attentive and greeted us with friendly smile. She was very nice and helpful with suggestions. Its always a plus when there is the best service that you get the minute you walk into a restaurant. The pizza was good and plenty. Ordered 18′ pepperoni it is a big size and a 15′ pepperoni and mushroom … Both good and served hot. Side salads good portion. Everything was great. Nice small pizza place with little bar area as well. If your in the Kingsbury, zephyr cove, or near casinos area this is a place to go to.

A very friendly, down-​to-​earth woman helped us with our take out order. We weren’t very hungry, so shared a 12″ half Thai Chicken, half Veggie pizza. The Thai Chicken half was great; loved it. The Veggie half was slightly disappointing, but still good. Just not quite enough flavor or quantity for me. But the crust was good on both, and the sauce on Thai Chicken was otherworldly.

Amazing pizza, great beer selection and wonderful sweet owner! We have found our new favorite pizza place here!

Went to Luigis a few nights back with my friend Steven and fam. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Deb. Deb is Italian and it shows. Her hospitality made me feel at home. The food was amazing! First time I’ve had a real Calzone in Lake Tahoe. Those of you that haven’t had a Calzone with Ricotta Cheese, you are missing out! The pizza was also fantastic. I always hear people around town say Base Camp pizza is the best pizza in South Lake, we’ll they obviously haven’t tried Luigis! I am also Italian, and very picky when it comes to pizza and calzones, this IS the best pizza place in South Lake Tahoe hands down! Do yourself a favor, go see Deb and get a real calzone or one of her amazing pizzas!

The best pizza in tahoe! The owner Debbie adds so much to the restaurant. She always has an outstanding disposition and is always happy for you to visit. The cook really knows what he is doing.
The meatball subs are awesome!

We had the margarita pizza and the chicken Caesar salad and it was amazing. Would absolutely return, such a nice break from the crazy hotel strip and madness.

Tried their supreme pizza and it’s great pizza. Convenient location for where we were staying and Debbi, the owner is extremely helpful and friendly.
There are beers and wines as well, which Debbi was knowledgable about. Also tried their desserts. They had a homemade four berry Apple tart and tiramisu gelato. Both were quite good.

Always good food! And the service is wonderful! My family and I come here quite often for pizza. I will recommend to a friend and will definitely come back!

I am new to living in the area and was looking for a great pizza place nearby Kingsbury and came across Luigis. I decided to give it a shot so here is my review.
Had to give it ²⁄₅ stars for the following reasons.
–1 star because when I got the pizza it wasn’t hot and I even went to pick it up. The pizza was warm enough to eat, however it wasn’t steaming hot when I came and got it.
–1 star because of the price /​amount of ingredients ratio on the pizza. Paid $ 26 for a large pizza and it didn’t even fill me and my roomate up to the point of absolute satisfaction like we had expected for the price. The problem here is that the layer of ingredients was as thin as could be and the last 2 ½ inches of the pizza before you hit the crust had nothing but tomato sauce on it.
–1 star for not going the extra mile for a first time customer. I clearly stated when ordering the pizza that I was coming to try the place out for the first time. You would think that a business owner would make sure to chunk it up on the ingredients especially for a first timer to really hit home with them, but it is clear and obvious that this business puts profits in front of customer satisfaction.
+1 star because the flavor was awesome. The pizza tasted GREAT, but for the price it just wasn’t there. The pizza I got would have been better if it was $ 20 instead of $ 26.The lack of ingredients really didn’t correlate with the price for me.
+1 star for the flavor again. Seriously .that was the only enjoyable part of the experience. Everything else seemed like a rip.
Final verdict = If you like thin pizzas with only enough toppings on it to feed a 6 year old boy then this is the place for you. I think I will stick with Dominos pizza from now on being that they actually chunk it up on the ingredients and do it for a totally reasonable price. It’s worth the extra drive in my opinion. Maybe I would try this place out again being that I believe in supporting local businesses, but not until I see a change in price and /​or a change in ingredient quantity on the pizzas.
Final thoughts = Really don’t like giving local businesses anything but great reviews, but as a honest customer this place taxes the hell out of the pizza for the amount of food they actually give you. I figure the large veggie supremo pizza I ordered cost about $ 10 to make including the wage of the workers, ingredients and energy to run the hardware cooking the pizza. This means they are profiting around $ 16 on that one large pizza … I can understand doubling up profit at a $ 20 price point, but $ 26 is just theft for the amount of ingredients they put on the pizza.
Hope this review reaches the owner or someone at the business that cares and also I hope this review reaches any customers who really care about getting the most bang for they’re buck.

Great thin crust Pizza. Greek salad very good too. Big portions. 18″ Veggie pizza and three Greek salads enough for our party of six.
Owner is really helpful and uses only the best ingredients. Delightfully delicious.
Pull your car in behind the Exxon gas station, sign is small, so call if you have trouble finding this great pizza and salad restaurant.

What poor business practices. You are in the food service business and your message says «We are too busy, call back»? I called 6 times.
What a shame, going down the street to Sam’s Place.
Get a grip people, your food is good… not that good.

Amazing crust, great toppings and even better service!!! I love this place and will be coming back very soon. Our server was Debbie and she was knowledgable and overly friendly! Phenomenal service!!! Must stop in
