Louie’s Pizzeria & Restaurant is a fantastic neighborhood pizza spot that absolutely lives up to its reputation. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a classic New York pizzeria feel and a clean, comfortable dining area. The cheese slice was outstanding—thin, crispy crust with just the right amount of chew, flavorful tomato sauce, and perfectly melted cheese. Fresh, simple, and incredibly satisfying. The display of specialty pizzas looked amazing as well, with plenty of delicious options to choose from. The staff were friendly, efficient, and kept orders moving quickly even during a busy time. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. If you’re looking for authentic New York-style pizza with generous slices, fresh ingredients, and great service, Louie’s is definitely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu. Highly recommended!

First time having proper pizza after leaving NY 5 years ago. I’m glad I didn’t go anywhere else. The pizza is on point and hit the spot immediately. Had a great conversation with the owner too. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town.

Was looking for excellent pizza within walking distance or a short train ride from Citi Field. Outstanding grandma slice. Salads are massive. Old school feel. Army vet who opened the restaurant 17 years ago. People come in with a smile on the face. Louie talks to everyone. A gem in Elmhurst. Legit ingredients- slices of mozzarella, basil, chunks of tomato. Delicious. Highly recommend.

Location across from Elmhurst hospital can be chaotic and parking is tight, but the pizza here is impossibly thin and crispy. Haven't had any pizza like this since Pizza Palace on Bayard Street by Columbus Park closed. Easy to eat half a pie by oneself. Crispy, thin crust, perfect amount of sauce and oil (about 2 drips per plain slice, not drowning, but reminds you that this is true NYC pizza), lightly cheesed, but still has a good stringy mozzarella pull. For a similar, but slightly thicker (100% yum factor) NYC slice, it's Manos in Ridgewood. For, the thinnest and crispiest plain slice in NYC, Louie's is the standard bearer. Parked in front, ordered a whole pie, ran inside, threw down some cash, waited outside for the fresh pie to bake. 10 minutes later the owner (possibly Louie hisself) delivers the fresh pie to my car outside and actually thanks me. True Twilight Zone stuff. I scarf a fresh, hot slice straight from the carton before stowing the balance back to Long Island for additional reheat confirmation. With all the political nonsense ongoing, thank Goodness that a righteous, NYC plain slice is still alive, well and residing in un-hipster, un-gentrified, un-apologetically
