Lucky Charlie is a coal-fired sourdough pizza and seasonal-pasta restaurant in Bushwick from chef Nino Coniglio, open late (into the early-morning hours) most nights of the week, which combined with a no-reservations-for-walk-ins approach at busy times is reported to create a regular door queue.
Reviewers describe weekend dinner as the busiest window, with waits reported to build after roughly 7-9pm as the late-night crowd arrives; weekday late afternoon/early evening is generally described as easier to walk into without a wait. Treat specific wait lengths reported by reviewers as anecdotal rather than guaranteed.

Based on reviewer reports, weekend dinner hours (especially after 7-9pm) tend to draw the longest waits for walk-ins, while weekday late afternoon/early evening is generally described as easier to get a table. Treat any specific wait-time figures you see in reviews as anecdotal, since they can vary night to night. (No live damnlines camera here yet — this is reported guidance, not a live count.)
Coverage of the restaurant suggests walk-in waits are common at peak times; if you want to avoid uncertainty, check Lucky Charlie's official site or call ahead directly, since reservation policies can change.
Reported hours have the restaurant closed Mondays and open roughly 5pm to 4am Tuesday through Sunday, with pizza service ending about an hour before close. Confirm current hours on Yelp or the restaurant's own site before visiting, as hours can shift.
