I like this location mainly for the people watching. You can cozy up to a window seat and watch the late night shenanigans.
This location is great in that it actually has indoor seating, which i appreciate in the winter. And the dead of summer. The location is pretty middle for almost anywhere downtown, and its open super late. The pizza's decent. Down right amazing when you have  afew drinks in you, but still decent for pizza.
At lunch they have a pretty good priced buffet. Pizza, salad, soup, drink all under $10. you can't really go wrong, especially given that you don't have a lot of late night choices.
Approach while drunk.
Lucy Blue is now 2 for 2. Â A little hot pepper and parmigiana and a single slice of these guys had me sated in seconds.
I've had past experiences with other locations and I have not been impressed, so I'm thinking maybe location matters quite a bit for these guys. Â I also think insobriety plays a large factor. Â You have to be the right amount of drunk--
--but man, this place totally hit the spot twice for me. Â I wouldn't hesitate to hit them up for drunk food the next time I'm downtown.
Oh god.
Many Cincinnati pizza places are ketchup on white bread. I don't get it. Why does the sauce have no flavor? Why is the cheese such low quality?
Lucy Blue takes this to a new level. This is ketchup on cardboard with burnt low quality cheese. I'm pretty certain it's cooked on a conveyor belt. Is there anything lower than a conveyor belt?
So why 2 stars? Because, when staggering home from somewhere at 2 am on a Saturday, you can eat here. That counts for a star.
When we first started going to this Lucy Blue location, we fell in love with the pies here. They were large, nearly perfect thin crust pizzas. The crust was crisp, yet chewy, and we really like the oregano kick. Since it was also close to our house, it was our go-to pizza place.
Then, last year sometime, this location started hiring a bunch of careless kids to run the place. I think the staff in Mt. Lookout said once that they are either family or family friends of the owners.
So anyhow, we started to notice they'd have their friends sitting around at night, or they'd be watching TV and screwing around. Slowly, the pizza quality started to deteriorate. Pie size got smaller (mostly because of poor technique, as it also got thicker), and we started to get burnt and undercooked pies. Eventually, with enough things gone awry, the pies started to be pretty gross. After being regular customers since it opened, we now haven't been back in about a month.
I saw the sign for the new location on Main Street the other day, and I got excited. However, I hope the owners consider who they let run the place. They have a great pizza concept, but letting just anyone at the oven can really ruin that.
I'll admit, I've been a fan of the Lucy Blue pizza window in Over-the-Rhine for years, but never actually stopped into their flagship store until recently. I'm glad I did, because it was awesome.
Ok ... to be fair, everything was awesome after coming from a Righteous Room party where the alcohol was free. I might not have been in the most ... sober of moods when walking through the doors of Lucy Blue. But dammit, that didn't stop me from enjoying myself.
First off, round of applause to the staff working here at midnight. They put up with our loud tomfoolery and didn't grumble or make comments. In fact, they were as nice as nice could be. Thank you, workers of Lucy Blue, you could have been much meaner and we probably would have deserved it.
The shop is cute. Pizza counter as soon as you walk in which makes way to plenty of seating to the right. There are tables and chairs and then very comfortable benches and tables right up against the window. I remember particularly enjoying sitting there ... although my memory for everything else is a bit hazy.
They also have a really fantastic Cincinnati mural painted near the ceiling, complete with a flying pig. Love it.
After hours, they don't make specialty pizzas (I really wanted to try a BLT pizza), just slices of cheese and pepperoni at a few bucks a slice. Again, my mind might not have been in it's fully upright position, but I remember like the pizza a lot. Not the best slice I've ever had, but delicious indeed.
I would come back here again no question ... maybe with a little less to drink next time.
Woohoo, another late-night pizza location! This location is a bit bigger than the OTR window, and you can actually get some indoor seating to eat your pizza if you so desire. Same pizza, which I've only ever had late night which probably makes it taste extra good. The line gets a little bit long depending on when you stop by, but they seemed to move pretty quickly.
Review Source:The newest location of Lucy Blue Pizza and the second one downtown.  This is located in what was formerly Gondola Pizza near the lodge bar and across from subway.  They are starting to remodel next week which shouldn't take long and will be a welcome change from gondolas 3rd hand furniture, zero decoration and scary looking drop ceiling.  I think a  slice is $2.50 at lunch time.  I suspect they will do late night action as 7th street is the new bar district.  Same great pizza.  Now ever closer to my apartment.  They also plan to do fancy salads and some sandwiches at this location...  They may or may not do a lunch buffet.
