Lucky's Pizza Gardena — Restaurant in Gardena

Food Order: Supreme Pizza (mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, green peppers, onions, mushrooms), Gatorade Thirst Quencher: Cool Blue $10

Lucky’s Pizza, took over former ASAP Pizza, is located in a tiny strip mall off of busy Redondo Beach Blvd. & Normandie Ave., with a small private parking lot. What differentiates them is that they serve sourdough crust pizzas. I came on the last day around linner time & was the only customer until another customer walked in just after me.

The dining room is spacious with a half dozen tables that seat either 2 or 4 diners, but they're adjustable to create a larger table if you have a big group. What's interesting is that you can "graffiti" their walls to leave your mark... someone Yelp tagged "super good pizza" & I agree.

I was warmly greeted upon entering & offered a 2 Slice Special (choice of cheese, pepperoni, &/or supreme) with a Drink. I was a bit hungry & opted for 2 Supreme Pizzas that's pretty loaded with proteins & veggies, & a Gatorade; there's no soda fountain, only canned sodas & bottled drinks. I saw a couple of slices in a rotating display case, which is what I thought would be served. Nope, I got 2 hot & fresh slices in about 10-mins.! The 2-slice & drink special is $10, & well worth the price for the amount of pizza (they're h-u-g-e!!) you get. What I really love & what differentiates them from other pizza joints is their sourdough crust! Think sourdough bread, which is usually large, & smash it flat while retaining its crisp crust & still having a breadlike texture with a mild sour, vinegary taste that offsets the flavors from the toppings & slight greasiness of the pizza. The toppings were pretty spread, but can't say you get every or most toppings in a single bite, though there's enough to make the slices a satisfying meal. I liked the flavor of the sausages & the crisp Canadian bacon, but I would have preferred a little more veggies to balance the heaviness of the proteins.

I like the mini USB fan gift, & perfect for hot summer days to enjoy the breeze. Just be mindful that it may not be certified for your iPhone or Android phone, & may draw excessive current that could damage the port (so I researched). I've been using it sparingly & seems to be ok.

Service is friendly, & the pizza maker even came out to inquire about my pizza, which I enthusiastically said "yum!" Menu offers just over a dozen signature pizzas with a BYOP (build-your-own-pizza) at moderate price points. If you price out BYOP, you get better value with the signature pizzas. Spicy BBQ Chicken Pizza sounds yummy (I love spicy pizzas), & Sabrosa Pizza sounds divine with an aji limo chili sauce... looking forward to coming back for a taste. Are these signatures part of the 2 slice special? That would be awesome! There's no public restroom visible, & not sure if there's one behind the kitchen. Since a washroom is unavailable, it would be nice to offer hand sanitizer or wipes for post dining cleaning.

Lucky's Pizza has a friendly team dishing out a delish Sunday linner......

Great pizza... The garlic bread is to DIE for... I literally drove from my house one day just for an order of garlic bread... It has lots of butter and probably lots of calories, but it is oh so delicious... please do not change your recipe!!

I forget the actual name of the pizza but it had pepperoni, jalapenos and caramelized onions which gives it a little sweet but still spicy taste...

All the crust is thin crust, so you can savor the flavor of the...

Honestly surprised this place doesn’t have more reviews, I’m equally surprised at how good this place was. I’m a true foodie and someone hard to impress. This place did not disappoint. We ordered 2 pizzas, Buffalo wings and the garlic bread. Everything was very good and I most definitely will be...
