| - I know this is a pizza place, mainly, but NACHOS. Nachos. Nachos! They are the best nachos I've ever had--loaded with pork shoulder, mozzarella, queso, pickled onions, sour cream, pickled jalapeño, pico de gallo and cilantro. It is so good that I filled my stomach to the brim before the pizzas even arrived (#noregrets).
The other app we got--the meatballs--were also delicious with a fresh and flavorful marinara sauce so good that I had to (had. to.) eat the leftovers with a spoon. Normally, neither nachos nor meatballs would be on my radar, but Lucille has forever changed my ways.
The pizza I definitely liked but didn't loveeee overall (and we ordered a lot of pies to share). I'll admit that part of it could've been the comparison to the nachos (THE nachos) but nothing really stood out to me EXCEPT the black garlic pizza. The black garlic pizza is sooooooo good that I wished we had ordered 4 of those. The meat pizza was pretty good too just because it featured the same sauce that dressed the meatballs. The Tikka pizza was pretty good with a little jalapeño kick, but nothing spectacular. The chard pesto/pinenut/feta pizza and squash/ricotta pizzas were utterly flavorless and disappointing. We couldn't even finish one piece of the squash and I regretted eating a whole piece of the pesto.
The drink options are really interesting but expensive ($9-$15), and the drinks we ordered came out different each time. But hey, they did the job. The industrial vibe is really cool and there is a vault bar in the basement that is definitely worth a visit after dinner or as a separate trip entirely!
Gotta give Lucille a 4 out of 5 for the BOMB nachos and meatballs, decent pizza, expensive but interesting drinks, and cool industrial ambiance. Worth a try!
