Luigi's Pizzeria

Great pizza and pasta for a good price. Yeah the pizza may be a little greasy for some, but I like it. The atmosphere is nice too.

So...I ate lunch at Proof at 12:30...but the chilled soup I ordered was super strange and the salad lack luster and a bit too tart. I didn't eat much. Almost three hours later I was (still) hungry. Walking around in the 100 degree heat I thought I was beginning to see and smell a pizza mirage. But no, it was no mirage. It was Luigi's! With a tiny gelato cart outside, natch.

In I went for a crispy, greasy (giant) slice of cheese and a small gelato. Was it the best pizza I've consumed? Hardly. But I'll tell you, it certainly filled the gaping hole of the lunch that was missing from Proof. And while my meal at Luigi's was certainly cheaper than that of Proof, I still found it pricey for what I received. But hey, I took my slice and small cup of gelato and mowed it down.

Note that there are a few outdoor tables that are great for lunchtime people watching! And, if you're paying via credit card there's a $6.50 minimum. Grazie, Luigi!

Gave this place a try due to a Groupon.  The first time I went I loved it because the eggplant parm was freakin awesome.  But then I found out that they have a rotating menu - which is great, but so far nothing has stood up to the eggplant parm.  Pretty disappointed about that.  I will keep going due to it's convenient location, but I'm not going to get my hopes up every time.  

You know the other thing that really gets my goat?  They make you buy bottled water.  Seriously, what is that all about.  I hardly ever buy soda when I'm at a restaurant and I do not feel like I should have to start.  What does it take to get a soda dispenser that has a water option.  Water costs pretty much nothing, just offer it.  You know you have it on tap.  Give me a cup with no ice and just tap water and I'll be a happy camper.
