Local Dining College’s major food - the food of parties, the food of late-study sessions, the food of sports games - is pizza, Digging into a greasy, cheap, quickly made pizza is, for some students, a glorious experience. My first experience with Lucetti’s pizza was about as far from that stereotypical view of my favorite food as it could get. The pizza tasted homemade. The ingredients were delicious, the food was perfectly cooked, and the service was prompt and polite. It wasn’t overly greasy; it wasn’t too dry. As I bit into a slice of ham and bacon pizza, I remarked to the writer next to me, ‘This is some of the best pizza I’ve ever eaten.” He didn’t believe me, until he took a slice and bit into it. Then, he simply agreed, and sat down to finish the pizza with me. For once, this pizza wasn’t the standard pizza you get from most quick-delivery pizza places in the area. The ingredients weren’t the paper-thin pepperonis or see through mushrooms you’d be used to on most pizza - they were thick, juicy, and delicious. The food didn’t end there - Lucetti’s also specializes in wings and subs, which I sampled as well. News editor Ryan Gallagher first took a sample of the wings. Gallagher, who is a fanatic about wings, said that they were some of the best that he had ever had. He had to run to get a drink to wash down the hot wings, which were spiced perfectly and not soggy like many delivered Food Review of the Week Lucetti’s Pizza Friday, September 26, 2008 By Connor Sattely sports editor / managing editor cisso6o@psu.edu hot wings tend to be. We were already impressed with the quality of the food from Lucetti’s, and then we started into the subs. The Chicken Finger Parmasean sub was the favorite of those who sampled it. With the perfect mix of parmasean and marinara sauce, assembled on fresh bread, it was declared as the best sub many of us have ever had. It’s hard to find a sub with the quality that Lucetti’s provided. They had a plethora of other options, and those who sampled their food dug in to different fla vors, all of which as good as the last. Lucetti’s is a fixture of Erie after having been in the area for over forty years. They feature new ownership, but still hold to their famous recipe that has made them one of the best pizza places in the area. They deliver to Behrend quick ly and with the utmost quality of food. Nothing has been rushed from Lucetti’s without the proper attention to detail. Their food is never undercooked, too well done, or late. Lucetti’s has several locations scattered around the area, and the one closest to Behrend lies on Buffalo Road, making it only a few minutes’ drive from campus. It’s worth it. Lucetti’s is a great change from the standard deliv ery pizza most students are accustomed to. Affordable, deli cious pizza specialized towards the taste buds of pizza’s con nieusseurs: college students.
