Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Came here after I bought a Restaurant.com certificate, in efforts to find new LOCAL places I haven't been to. Once they finally got around to us, the service was good, but we must have waited for at least 15 minutes after we were seated to get any acknowledgment much less a glass of water. It is close to the Somerton train station but the parking is killer. The strip mall parking gets full, and there is some additional in the back but that gets full quickly too. Their food was reasonable, pizza was really good, even the next day. They wrap up your leftovers nicely and with lots of saran warp so if you get a pasta dish or something else you can't finish you don't make a mess getting it home. Portions are good, and like I said food is reasonable. Make sure to use the Restaurant.com certificate, because it is definitely not worth going there and paying full price. The party room though has always been busy and those people always seem to be enjoying themselves, so I wonder if they cater better?? Update: I guess they are getting used to serving brown people now, b/c the servers appear to be younger and not afraid of approaching the non-white people seated at tables. The service has gotten friendlier and fast. I have tried multiple desserts, and have to say, they are all pretty fantastic, though limited choices. My new rating reflects the average.

I'm a little prejudice because I used to work here many years ago, but I still go back for take out once a month at least. I love that it is family owned and operated, the prices are fair and the food is comfort Italian. Whenever our family of 25 has a last minute get together we get take out meatballs, sauce and sausage. it saves a day cooking. they also catered my wedding and talked me out of many disastrous ideas. I'm always satisfied with Lucia's and have never had a bad meal.

Probably one of the best Italian Restaurants in Philly. What sets La Casa Di Lucia apart is that it's genuine family owned and run restaurant. Big Joe is at the bar keeping the books and playing host with the most. Lucia is in the kitchen cooking up one of her classic homemade dishes. Little Joe is making taking care of the pizza pies while Anna and Julie wait on the customers. La Casa Di Lucia offers fine Italian dinning in a casual setting. When you sit down at the table your not just some customer, your family.

I went here for a family dinner after we found out our first place was closed. (Or maybe condemned? Who knows.) La Casa Di Lucia is in a strip mall next to the Wawa and near the train station. It is pretty easy to find. There is a bar and next door a rather large dining room. The day we were there there was entertainment. An older woman was singing the old standards. Not exactly my musical tastes, but it wasn't loud enough to bother the diners. She showed so much enthusiasm it would be hard to dislike her. Plus, if you are in search of cougars - this is the show to go to. The dining room is large and the seats are really comfortable. Our waitress was a wisecracking italian with great suggestions on what to eat and numerous comments on our selection "Come to an Italian restaurant and order no gravy?" Her service was quick and really friendly. The menu is pretty large with the standard Italian food fare. The bread on the table was fresh and quite good. The salad was pretty good. I am not a big fan of iceberg lettuce, so it wasn't a perfect salad, but everything was fresh and tasted good. For my entree I got the Chicken Parmigiana with a side order of angel hair pasta. The portion size is good and it tasted quite good. They have a good red sauce that mixed well with the cheese and chicken. I didn't order a dessert myself, but I grabbed a few bites of the Blackout cake. I can recommend this highly. It's chocolate. Chocolate. And more chocolate. So, if you don't like chocolate don't get it. Otherwise, well worth your dining dollars. So, slow down with dinner and save room for dessert! The prices are good. They won't shock you. But, they won't make you come back every day, either. All in all I am glad that other place was closed so I could give La Casa a try. I'll be back.

Don't listen to all the negative comments. This is a great old school Italian family restaurant. Been going my whole life and the memories in this place never end. The service is great and the food is outstanding. They always have events and parties that welcome everyone and they put their heart and soul in this restaurant. Also, it isn't frozen it's homemade*. Don't listen to any bad reviews I'm telling you guys, if you want good food, go to outback but if you want the best food, go to Lucia's.

Came in for lunch on a whim. I'm glad I did! Food is delicious! I had the lunch portion of the chicken Capri. Very filling and so yummy :) Washed it down with a refreshing glass of moscato....server was nice and friendly too! Attentive as well. I recommend this place to anyone who likes Italian :)

La Casa Di Lucia has a nice Italian vibe to it and pretty good food to match. The best deals can be found during their early bird specials, where you can get a pasta entre, a alcoholic beverage, soup or salad and dessert for just $8.00. Thats a pretty unbeatable deal. I've been experimenting with their pasta dishes, and have decided that my favorite is their Baked Ziti.
(4)L.M. Z.
Not my favorite place for great Italian but good. Meatballs are good, love their salads and service is always on point. Definitely worth a try. I may be adding a star since we plan to try their pizza very soon.

Looove the spaghetti and meatballs as well as the penne vodka. Great atmosphere too!!

Horrible service! It wasn't our server who was bad it was everyone. We were there on a weekend for a birthday party and it was busy but no excuse for bad food and service! I ordered the manicotti from the "fresh handmade pasta" section, it clearly wasn't handmade it was frozen! Gross! The only good thing was the buffalo shrimp! I will say they were delicious, but not worth a trip just for them! Lol

I had the pizza here, take out so I didn't eat in. I called in and wasn't very happy with whoever I spoke with. I asked if there were any pizza specials and was told 2 for $18.95. I asked him to hold, because that possibly could change the order. After about 30 seconds, he hung up on me. I called back and placed the order. After I was off the phone with me, I noticed one pie was $9.50. Do the math, their "Special" was just the price of 2 pies. I felt mislead with the person on the phone. As for the pizza, I got one plain and one onions and green peppers. The onions they put on it were too much. They just put a ton of onion rings (not the appetizer kind) on the pie, rather than cutting up the onions. As for the green peppers, once again they were done long slices instead of chopping them up. The taste of the pizza was just ok and checking underneath the pie it was a little overdone.

Diner food at an upscale price. Atmosphere is nice, service was good, food was not. Save yourself and go to Michaelangelo's (which is on Bustelton as well)

Been here several times over the years- used to live close by in Somerton. Always a positive experience. I've also attended a couple functions in the back party room- Great! HAVE to mention their catering. It's the only place I will use. They are very accommodating & the Food can NOT be topped! Yummm

Visited on June 16th at the suggestion of my friend Ron. As the other reviewers point out, located in a strip mall on in Philly. Don't let the humble location stop you from trying it, very good old school Italian place. Got there and had a drink at the bar. Started with the house Chianti and watched the locals eating some nice looking sandwiches at the bar. Sat in the dining room near the bar. Our waitress was knowledgeable, and friendly in the "hi hon!" school of service. Just "ok" bread, was delivered. We ordered - me and my friend Joe, the linguine with Red Clam, Ron got the Spaghetti with meat sauce. Ron recommended the Escarole soup, which was not a standard "soup or salad choice' but we were willing to pay for the upgrade. The soup was great, with sausage, a great chicken stock, and nicely wilted escarole. My entree was enormous, and delicious. Plenty of clam, with a nicely flavored, authentic red sauce. We were so stuffed we skipped dessert. Dinner with 2 glasses of wine each was a very inexpensive $25 each. I'll definitely return.
