"If you are looking for a nice spot to grab some 'za before the big ballgame, look no further than Luigi's.
As most of my followers know, I left Oklahoma and moved to Kansas about 20 years ago to take over my cousin Vern's farm when he passed away. When I moved back to OKC back in November, I was pretty bummed out to see the Pizza Inn on May Avenue had closed down. Always loved their lunch buffet, fast delivery, and the nice folks who ran the place.
So I went in the old building, which now had a sign for "Luigi's Pizza".
Place looked and smelled exactly how I remembered, and I even remembered the fella with the beard who was behind the counter. Asked him what was going on, and long story short— this place is Pizza Inn with a different name.
Boy was I excited!
I know some folks think pizza is just bread and cheese, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It's thinking like this that is to blame for the flood of pizza chains in town. Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa John's, LITTLE CAESARS (god help me)... all of 'em as bad as the next, and they don't give a monkey's ass about the customer experience.
Anyways, when you have a joint like Luigi's Pizza Inn making your pie, you know they're not taking any shortcuts. Need more places like that in the neighborhood. Their thin crust is the thinnest and crispiest, they use real cheese, and I'd guarantee they don't even have own a freezer.
Oh yeah, and the prices are unbeatable— $6.99 for a one-topping large.
I'm telling you right now (and I've never lied to you): if you live in the area, THIS is your stop for pizza.
P.S..... Got the inside scoop from the bearded fella that runs this shop, and apparently you should only eat at this location and the Midwest City location. All three are individually owned, but the one on MacArthur is a sack of garbage and they don't use the original recipes. Just giving the heads up!"
