Step Into Luigi’s In Akron, Where Oversized Meatballs And A Guarded Sauce Keep Booths Full
The sauce recipe at this pizza joint is a guarded family secret, and it has stayed that way for generations. That alone makes me want a fork and a booth. The meatballs here are oversized enough to count as local lore. They show up on sandwiches and in full dinners.
