Review Pizzaria Lui - Lakewood

We found out about this pizza place online as listed one of the best pizza restaurants in Denver. I would have to say this is the number 1 pizza place in Denver! Very friendly staff, we ordered a bottle of Chianti in the basket and sat and had a pizza each while we watched a steady stream of customers come in and out. There’s a reason why this place is killing it and I highly highly recommend you get there as soon as you can!

Probably the best pizza I've had in the Denver / Lakewood area. The photo posted with my review showcases "The Original" pizza and it's sitting on the island in my kitchen. That is where it would remain as I did not sit down from start to finish of this glorious pizza. In those brief moments, I was a happy man. Normally I share crust with my beloved dogs; however, not this time. Not this time.

Easily some of the best if not the best in Denver. Fresh pies, very high quality. Perfect ratio of sauce to cheese. Their crust is the peak amount of chewiness. They also have homemade hot sauces. Pizza and hot sauce is just happiness. Pizzeria Lui's is happiness.

So refreshing to find a local pizza spot that serves delicious flavor combinations. I prefer thin crust and these pizzas are just the right size for an individual serving….or We like to order 2-3 and share. The margherita is my favorite. The Italian & Sopressata are also very good!

We just had dinner here and absolutely loved it! A great find! The dough was delicious and truly the perfect artisanal pizza. On top of the great flavor combinations, the staff is incredibly hospitable. Our daughter loved it so much she gave it a rating of infinity stars out of five stars. We’ll be back next week.

Absolutely fantastic. Great pizza, great hot sauce, great people. I am so glad to have found this place. If you live within 5 miles of here and order pizza anywhere else… just don’t.

Drove past seen the ambience remind me of everything good pizza of course I had to save it and come back around after my errands just before I even eat a piece the smell from the box how's your this is where you want to be eating it I'll come back for the pie again and again. Amazing flavors great employees with a Pizza favorite environment

I really wanted to like this place. So the family was in the mood for pizza last night and I searched for a 'new' great pizzeria and found Lui's. I read the reviews and looked at the Facebook page. Reviews suggested asking for a little extra sauce (something about training new cooks). Pics on Facebook showed numerous 'well done' pizzas. Dug a little deeper in the reviews and Facebook and saw the owner is quite proud of the 'char' he inflicts upon his pies. So, I thought, I'll order a couple of pizzas to pick up and communicate my preference for a little less char than usual. Lui's picked up the phone immediately. I ordered and asked for less-charry pies. He chuckled and said "My oven is pretty hot, but I'll see what I can do." Cool, I thought. "They'll be ready in about 10 minutes". Oh, I better get moving. To be absolutely fair, I knew *almost* exactly what I was getting into. I figured I could peel off a charred bubble here and there. How bad could it be? I picked up the pizzas, paid, tipped a bit. One of the guys acknowledged I had asked for less char and chuckled again when he said something about the sugar content in his dough. Ok, sure. About halfway into the first slice I had a flashback of that time I forgot a steak on the grill and it got charred black on the bottom. I'd tried to salvage the steak by cutting off the bottom 1/4 inch of char and then tried to eat it. That overpowering flavor of char was the same. How could that be? I flipped the slice of pizza over and found the bottom was pretty charred, too. UGH! The wife and kid refused to eat more than a few bites. I persisted....with beer...just like with the steak. Ultimately I quit, had another beer, and realized the char flavor was still all over my tongue. Nothing a little tongue brush with Crest and some of my favorite spicy Indian lime pickle couldn't fix. Lui's, I truly wish you well...it's me, not you...really. It looks like you've got a good thing going, based on all the great reviews. Unfortunately. I don't see much chance of a pizza bromance happening between us...maybe things would work better between you and The Bern (Sanders). I'll introduce you next time he's in town. Deal? Summary: Good service, but the char is not for me or mine. I suggest looking at the pics on their Facebook page and deciding for yourself if that's what you want to feed your family and friends. Disclaimer: I'm an old guy, not a hipster, and I drink IPA with my pizza.

My family and I fell in love with this place tonight! We enjoyed a Shroom pizza with the cheese sticks, and OH. WOW. The crust was the perfect balance of chewiness with a crunch thanks to the wood fire. The red sauce was deliciously fresh, and the ingredients were perfect. The fresh basil and sausage were amazing. The staff was super friendly, and I love that this place is just a casual hole in the wall! I enthusiastically recommend Pizzeria Lui- no other pizza will suffice.

I'm not a pizza guy, but this wood fired wonder is the best pizza I have ever eaten, so much so that we have had dinner here 3 of the past 4 evenings! I can't recommend this gem enough. I give it 12 out of 5 stars!!

We loved the pizza. It was delicious! Completely met our expectations and then some. Cannot wait to go back. We love supporting local businesses in our neighborhood. If your looking for a new pizza place to go to, this is it. Hands down best pizza I've had.

This place is great! Top notch pies, nice folks and quaint atmosphere. Glad we have a new pizza place to hit up this side of the river! We'll be back!

A tradition, this gentleman is doing things the way they should be' I was very impressed I can't wait to visit again Hands down one of the best pies I've had in my time here.

Mmmmmmm best Pizza I've had in a long time. And super friendly staff! Definitely going to make the drive from Fort Collins back down ��

The pizza is absolutely fabulous. They obviously put a lot of time into their processes and ingredients, and anyone that carries Green Flash in their beer selection clearly knows what's up! What a great addition to the neighborhood!

I have now tried five of their pizzas. My favorite is the original. This guy really puts in a lot of work with the pizza dough (it sets for 3 days) and the pizza is cooked right there in the wood fire oven. Looks like we picked the wrong week to give up carbs.

Excellent pizza, fresh ingredients and the best crust! Best pizza in Denver!

So delicious! We drove in from the north suburbs. Well worth it. Delicious pizza; fun, casual atmosphere; kind staff. We will be back!

Two HUGE thumbs up. Simple menu, extraordinary ingredients topped off with a wide beer and wine selection. Proud to have this gem in our neighborhood!

This is exactly how quality wood fired pizza should taste. We are so happy to have some great pizza in our area of Lakewood! YUM!

We have been waiting for Pizzeria Lui to open for months now and it was well worth the wait. We shared The Italian and it was delicious! Can't wait to get back and try all of the different pizzas! This is just what we needed in Lakewood: A cool new restaurant with a local, laid back vibe. We will definitely be back!

We waited for months for Pizzeria Lui to finally open. We order the "Shroom" and specialty pizza we designed. Both were very good. The sausage and prosciutto ingredients were very good. The pizza was carefully and quickly made and cook. The reason for the four star rating is that no other food is offered but pizza, no delivery, lack of a website. Once this new business is fully functional and the food remains the same, then five stars.

A must have pie!! Quality you can taste. They use quality ingredients , very authentic wood fired, they do what they know and they do it right. The only thing better was the service!!

The pizza is so good! I will definitely be back. A variety to choose from. We needed a place like this in the neighborhood.
