REVIEW / Luigi's Coal Oven Pizza in Fort Lauderdale: Pizza's Not the Best Thing on the Menu at This Las Olas Joint

PLACE Luigi's is a tight space. It's so small that your gut will plunge into the table when the diner behind you so much as fidgets in his seat.

MENU Pizza balanced out by family-style house salads, oven-roasted wings, and a few pasta specials....  three pizzas — made on two different dates weeks apart — had something in common "the middle of the pie was limp, thin, and undercooked"  Only real parmigiano reggiano, Italian mozzarella, and romana are used for cheese. The tomatoes, prosciutto, Parma ham, and salami are all from Italy too. For an informal pizzeria, Luigi's offers an extensive wine list.

SCENE the Las Olas crowds are here — and they're claiming every one of those tables.

FYI / The 7 Most Debated Tipping Issues

1. Should you tip on the tax?
"I like it when you do, but you do not have to tip on the tax. Whenever there's a service charge, the auto-grat that's tacked on is always pre-tax."

>>> here are six more tipping tips

TRIVIA - When a server pours you a taste of wine, what exactly are you looking for? A) Whether you like it? B) If it is really what you ordered? C) If it is spoiled?

Answer: C. The only time to send a wine back is if it is technically flawed or spoiled by heat, air, or bacteria. If you are not sure, ask the server to taste it. If the wine is sound and you just don't like it, as they say in the technicalities of the wine world, "tough noogies." thanks to our friends at naked grape 

 

FYI / Ordering Types - Ordering food at a restaurant can cause people's voices, mannerisms and often entire personalities to change -- in fact, sometimes it makes them act like straight up wackjobs.
