A new pizza restaurant has officially arrived in Lutz — NY City Woodfired & NY Pizza opened its doors this week, bringing wood-fired cooking and New York-style pies to the Pointe Village area.
The soft opening took place Thursday, with the kitchen welcoming its first guests from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM at 16540 Pointe Village Dr, Suite 108.
Wood-Fired Flavor, New York Roots
As the name suggests, NY City Woodfired & NY Pizza is built around two things: the high-heat intensity of a wood-fired oven and the bold, foldable style of classic New York pizza. Wood-fired cooking is known for producing a crispier crust with a slightly charred, smoky finish — a noticeable step up from conventional oven-baked pies.
For residents in the Lutz and Wesley Chapel area who have been craving an authentic New York-style slice, this new spot fills a gap that chain pizzerias typically can't match.
What to Know for Your First Visit
The restaurant is currently operating in soft opening mode, which means the team is easing into full service. One thing to keep in mind: alcohol will not be available during the first week of operation. According to the restaurant's own announcement, drinks are expected to be added to the menu the following week — though the full details of what will be served have not yet been confirmed.
Hours during the soft opening are 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
