Strictly, it isn't. The point isn't that there's no syntax, though; it's that there's very little syntax, compared to other languages (consider C++'s… what, 17 operator precedence levels? And the Turing-complete parser?).
The comma in ',var' and '((x 7))' are examples of Common Lisp's built-in syntax. The former is part of a shorthand notation[1] for injecting literal code into templates. The latter is part of the syntax of LET[2].
