LuLu's Pizza Bar, a good in-between

We recently stumbled upon the newly opened LuLu's Pizza Bar on Market St. While there's certainly no shortage of pizza in Old City(Gianfranco, Old City Pizza, Soho, Pizzicato, etc) LuLus fills a niche that we didn't even realize existed until we were already working on our first slices.

Gianfranco used to be our go-to spot for thin crust gourmet pizza. They have fun combinations and plenty of options to choose from. However, the small space was not very inviting for a dine-in option. Old City pizza is deep dish and way too greasy, Soho is cramped and doesn't have a big variety of slices. The only dine-in option in Old City is Pizzicato. We were never impressed by Pizzicato's pizza and their ridiculous placement of million tables on the sidewalk is annoying, so we choose not to patronize them.

Along came LuLu's with some nice sidewalk seating for prime people watching and a sophisticated bar/dining room. The pizza is just as good and just as cheap as Gianfranco's, they have a full bar, and great selection of craft beers. The Margherita pizza is crispy and light, with homemade mozzarella. The meatlovers is any red-blooded American's dream.

Its a great place to go when you want to have a slice or two in a nice quiet environment without spending too much on what really is just pizza.
