Luciano Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

This is the review of the kiosk version and not full restaurant at Tyson’s corner. This plcae has been here for decades and that means that the pizza is damn good. If you like NY style pizza you’ll love their pizza. This is one of my go-​to places at the mall for good, fast, and cheap food. I recommend the pepperoni pizza.

Passed by looking for the food court and the smell of that pizza was irresistible not only to me but my sister and kids as well so we ate in it was delicious, good service and time wait was as expected. If your around and want pizza. You should try this place out

This joint has gone down hill… went back after probably a year or so and the service was pretty bad. The pizza wasn’t as good as I remembered either. They need to get a tighter reign on the service.
Heard they have closed permanently. Not surprising…

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Would definitely come back again in the future.

Really good, but overpriced ($ 8.50 for two slices of pepperoni). Pizza was nice and greasy and really brought me back to my hometown of the Jersey Shore. I got it to go. There are several tables outside of the restaurant for this purpose. Other patrons took the condiments to their tables which I didn’t realize until after the fact, silently cursing the lack of red pepper and oregano on my slice. Would I eat here again? Probably if I just wanted a quick bite to eat and I’m craving this kind of pizza.

Stopped by with my Aunt and mom after a long day of shopping at Tyson’s Corner. We seated ourselves and our waitress quickly brought us waters and took our drink orders. We were really hungry so we ordered a pizza and side of fries. The fries came out first so we were able to nibble on those until our pizza came. HUGE large pizza & very tasty. Service was good and worked out as a great quick lunch place. There were so many people continuously ordering and lined up for carry out as well-​that shows that their food is good.

I always come here when in Tysons mall. Either slice from the window or sit in, both is always good. It has all you expect from a good pizza! And service was always friendly.

In the dining room. Good food. Good lunch special prices. Long wait for a soup and sandwich. Not enough waiters. Two of them are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Ignoring simple requests like more water and people literally waking up to the waiter staton for water… and can I please have my check cause I’ve been sitting here staring at you for 10 minutes, people walking up to the waiter station to pay!!! The 1 waiter won’t help the other out. Ignoring me right now!!! Oh man 2 or 3 stars. With this wait for my check. At lunch. 2 stars. Also would not include the mall 15% discount. Had to show them. They offered me 10%. I was like its 15. Then they gave me another 10%
Lastly. They don’t have a website. I’d like to mention these things directly to the person who runs this place. Above comment true. New management. Website link dead.
Good food. Bad service.

My husband and I decided to eat at this Tysons corner virgina locaton of Luciano Italian restaurant and pizza this past September (within the Tysons corner shopping mall). I ordered a delectable lasagna while my husband enjoyed the chicken parmiagana.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I most definitely would. I came here with my family on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered from the register but there were no seats outside. The owner refused to let us sit inside the EXTREMLY EMPTY dining area because we hadn’t ordered from inside the restaurant. Needless to say we demanded our money back and went to one of the other dozen pizza places in the mall. This review is for Horrible customer service and rudeness that no one should have to be subjected to on what is supposed to be a fun day with your family.

Well I am not sure what the Pizza tastes like because the lady who picked up the phone did not understand anything I was saying and failed to be attentive. The website advertises delivery but after speaking to the lady for 20 minutes trying to order, just one pizza, she said No Delivery. Please also note that I requested delivery as the call began.

Great pizza, been around for awhile.

The ownership has changed. I used to visit this location occasionally when I worked in Tyson’s Corner years ago and now I’m back working in Tyson’s so I was excited to have their pizza again. This location USED to have lots of fresh pizza available for lunch including Sicilian. I asked if they still carried Sicilian and they do not in slices. So I ordered a regular slice of cheese and was given the smallest, wimpiest slice I’d ever seen. Even a kid would ask for more after consuming that measly slice. I will not be going to this location anymore because there are 2 other pizza shops in the mall that give you more pizza for your $ 3.50/slice.

Don’t come here. Ever. Never. You’ve been warned.
Yeah, I know… say what? But I really don’t want the company. Because I’ve made this one of my little hiding places were I can come after work during the week, plop down at one of the vacant tables, order and eat an excellent pizza that won’t send me into sodium-​based shock and leave me bloated like a fish laying along the highway in the hot sun doing an impression of leavening bread on steroids; oh yeah, and do so in peace and quiet, with but perhaps 1 or 2 other similarly quiet dudes just chilling out with some good grub. What? No flat screen TV blaring worthless drivel at you at 100 decibels? Yes! That’s what I’m saying, thank God. Still one of the great unwashed areas of planet earth not infected with a blaring electronic LCD organism ruining your dining experience.
Really…that last paragraph was a complete lie. Don’t read any further.
I guess I’ll keep coming even if the place gets popular on weeknights. Not that things would be bad in that environment mind you. Last time I was here during lunch rush (mind you, that was back in 1996… oh good grief how long ago?), the place handled the crowds just fine, and the food was just as good (thank you Catherine for bringing me here). But I really like the lazy nature of this place on a weeknight. And like others have attested, the pizza is just plain good. Very good. Delightful in fact. Nothing fancy smancy, just consistently good and done like I like it. Did I mention it not leaving you feeling like you’re on a narco high afterwards? Something I can’t say about the P***a H**s, P*p* J**ns, D*m*n*s and other dough-​in-​a-​bag kind of places.
I’m serious… that last paragraph was a complete lie too. Stop reading. Really… stop! Find another joint to populate, they’re all far, far better than this place. Seriously. Dude, don’t come here. Please.

Five stars for the NY pizza. Everything else/​dine in is sub par.
The pizza is amazing. So good. Normally I wolf down pizza, here I bought a slice and savored it like a piece of heaven on earth .
Although I was super hungry I took ten minutes to enjoy it. Quality of pizza more powerful than hunger? Didn’t think that was possible. Decided to bring the family for dine in after amazing take out by the slice experience.
The dine in restaurant was disorganized. They were dressed professionally and the place seemed nice and comfortable, but it ended there.
Asked my family of five to switch tables so the waiter could use the table to place a pizza for some fairer skinned diners at another table.
Really? Honestly? 2014?
Great pizza though without question.

Finally found it! Excellent NYC style pizza in the DC area
Who knew you’d have to travel to [my favorite] suburban mall to get it?
It sits in an innocent little random corner of the mall.
The pizza is on point! Nice thin crispy crust, the sauce is not too tangy, not too sweet. The cheese melts evenly without being gooey and gross, and the man at the take-​out counter did not look at me sideways when I asked to divide the pizza slice in half [“oh no she didn’t!” — oh yes I did…]
The slices are darn expensive (I only get ‘cheese’) at $ 3.43 per slice — definitely not NYC prices, but when in Tysons, do as they do!
There used to be a place in? Mitchellville, Maryland that was ON POINT with NYC pizza. When I discovered it, we’d order from there every 2 weeks (and it was insanely affordable!). They closed down 3 years ago and moved back to New York (!).
I told my husband from now on when I do my day-​long shopping jaunts to Tysons, we are having Luciano’s pizza pie pre-​ordered and ready for pickup for the way home. Yes — it’s that good.

Pizza — chewy and great texture on the crust. Reminds me of NY style pizza but with thicker dough. Best pizza in town.
Chicken Parm — Good but would be better if it was served on a chewy baguette.

I’ve been coming here for years. I grew up eating the Italian food my grandfather, Luigi Sacco, used to make. Since moving to the DC area, I’ve been very disappointed in the Italian restaurants I’ve found. This isn’t my grandfather’s kitchen, but it’s close.
THE BEST PIZZA IN THE WASHINGTON DC AREA!

I thought this was the best NY style pizza in the area, bar none.
After ordering a pie and an Italian sub, I changed my mind. The pizza was meh and the sub was overpriced at $ 11. Insane really.

Yay! I’m a fan. That’s exactly right. I would say, this is the best mall pizza in the area. So consistently good. Good old New York style American pizza.
