text: Finally mall fast food I Am not embarrassed to take my momma to Lucianos dishes solid pizza paninis salads and pasta at Fashion Show Mall away from the depressing horseshoe known as the food court there I like the fact that you feel like your actually in a restaurant despite the fact the food is already prepped and just heated up nnThe pizza is thick and pretty good with a variety of topping schemes They also have a couple New York style thin slices to choose from if your not so dough inclined The pizza is the bread and butter of the place but the paninis should not be overlooked I had the caprese panini and my friend had the Chicken Parm panini and both were good size had nice crispy warm bread and pretty flavorful The salads are fairly standard but at least the lettuce is fresh and it gives a good alternative for the health conscious One thing that looked good and I might try next time is a fresh custom made to order pasta bar For a set price around bucks its a mall so that is reasonable all things considered you can have a short order cook put different ingredients and sauce to create your own pasta dish A great concept for someone who does not want food court fare but is not interested in waiting or paying for the full service restaurants the mall offers Word on the street is also is that before lunch time the pasta bar doubles as an omelet bar for breakfastnnI would love to give Lucianos more than stars as it really does shine above its competitors within its environment but for the sake of consistency within my reviews the food is really only stars At the end of the day a great mall fast food Italian joint that does not rhyme with Fbarros nnPSOn Friday Saturday and Sundays grab an outside seat outside meaning out in the main mall concourse rather than under their roof You are still indoors to see the frequent fashion shows the mall puts on You will be the poor mans Paris Hilton except with some Pizza instead of a dog in a purse
