Editorial Review for Lorenzo & Son Pizza – by Jason Clampet
In Short
White walls line the narrow space; a bank of ovens open and close their maws in tandem with diners. Outside, soiled and scattered white paper plates serve as a testament to the crowds. When you've just been swallowing buckets of brew or swaying to an act at the TLA or Poniac, Lorenzo's giant slices are a godsend. Blackened, crisp crust holds the floppy thing together like a stroke of genius.

I try to get out to Lorenzos once a week if I can. The pizza doesn't taste like cardboard and has the right consistancy always. Of the many times I've been there, I had one pie that was so so and it was still good. There is no need for toppings when the pizza is that good. As for the mirrored back room... I personally think its kinda cool. Kind of a throw back to the quirkiness that South Street used to have. Price is right and the staff moves everyone through there very quickly even if there is a line. I can only eat one slice and my bf can only eat two. Thats saying alot for two people that love to eat and have a huge appetite.
Pros: Pizza is the right thickness and the staff moves the lines very quickly . Very good price
Cons: It would be nice if the shop were a little bigger

The pizza here is outragously good. No, there really isn't proper seating, there is always a line, they charge for boxes, BUT THE PIZZA IS SO DAMN DELICIOUS! Take it home to enjoy or eat it on your way home. Huge slices of mozzerella goodness. Yum!
Pros: Delicious pizza, huge slices
Cons: Long line, no seating area
