Bar area w/t.v. screens
Lu L.

Our first time to Luce. We Yelped and this came up so we gave it a Go & we were glad we did. Had a couple cold beers & a mighty tasty pizza w/mushrooms,red peppers & sausage. Luce is a neighborhood tavern & gastropub serving pizzas,burgers, small plates, salmon tacos... Lots of draft beer & wine choices. Heard they offer a nice brunch too. Also has Happy Hr. food specials 3:00-5:00. Drinks-3:00-6:00. Casual open air spacious spot. Both bar seating & tables available. Met friendly folks sitting at the bar Street parking only. Bay Park area of San Diego on Morena Blvd which runs parallel w/5 fwy.

BLAT sandwich
Sandy G.

Started off with the chefs pizza ($25). The crust was really good, it was also really cheesy if you like a lot of cheese. The figs weren't overpowering and neither was the balsamic drizzle. I was worried it would be too sweet but it wasn't. The pistachios didn't do anything much. They weren't crunchy at all so didn't add to the texture of the pizza. The pizza crust was nice and light and crunchy. I also had the BLAT sandwich. The sourdough bread was SO GOOD. Of course so was the bacon which was tasty, but the bread with the guacamole spread really made this sandwich. The fries were very good too. Husband had the fried chicken picatta sandwich and it was a very large piece of chicken sticking out of the flaky focaccia bread! All the food was delicious and the service was quick! Dogs also allowed in the covered indoor/outdoor area.

Tuna melt
Celeste T.

Luce burger was excellent, I asked for lettuce wrap and they delivered a beautiful burger wrapped in large romaine leaves. Lots of caramelized onions... Absolute perfection. The side salad was wonderful too. My man had the tuna melt which he enjoyed. Fries were yummy. Glad Bay Fish next door was unexpectedly closed, gave us a chance to try Luce and it was very good.

Hot honey pizza, delicious!
Liz R.

A delicious spot that's low-key away from all the SD hype. Very delicious food and drinks. The service was great, friendly, and very attentive. The place is hip-looking, comfortable to come for a relaxing meal and watch a sports game. The floral mural is so aesthetically cute for posting! Loved the coconut shrimp, the hot honey pizza was amazing and the strawberry mule was refreshing! I only captured the pizza. The food was too good once we got the first bite. I will totally come back!!

Large upscale indoor gastropub. Quite a variety of food on the menu and strong brunch offerings. Lots of TVs to watch sports. I had a breakfast burrito and it was solid, but nothing extraordinary. Popular place!

French Fries
Clythie C.

A proper pour of delicious wine, perfectly cooked mouthwatering French fries, a gorgeous ample beet salad and a wonderful white pizza. Who could ask for more? The outdoor patio is comfortable, the service is top notch, and we can't wait to go back.

We enjoyed our food here and it has a very open concept for seating with lots of fresh air. Food is very good. We really enjoyed the pizza and French toast.

This place is a favorite local spot. The food menu remains the same most of the time and they post specials, which have never disappointed. The service is friendly and welcoming. You'll have 1st dates, friends, people and their kids. The Cucumber gimlet is tasty and has a punch

Beet salad with greens and goat cheese schmere
Kris M.

First time here! Love the vibe. Great drinks (large pours!) delicious food - we had salad, cauliflower, pizzas, tuna/crab melt. All soooo good. Great service. Will definitely be back.

Honey pie
Tiffany P.

Thanks to my Clairemont-native coworker for hyping this place up--the hype is real. Located on the same street as Siesels Meat & Deli, Baci's, and Bay Park Fish Co., Luce's has a great tavern-like atmosphere. There is ample seating and even a back patio area with a bunch of a heated lamps, "fire pit" table side and a beautifully painted mural. I ordered the Honey Pie ($25) sopressatta+pepperoni+burrata+calabrese hot honey+mozzarella+red sauce. 10/10!!! The quality of meat & cheeses are great, and the "hot honey" is surprisingly not too spicy. It has a little kick but the sweetness of the honey rounds out the flavor. Job well done, Luce's! Can't wait to come back to try more menu items.

Chefs pizza and honey pie
Mikayla Z.

I love this place. Genuinely everything on the menu is good. I also got their kombucha and it was delicious! The vibes at the fire pit are immaculate and service is good and pretty quick. I would recommend the honey pie, it's DELISH!

Menu

After a day on the water fishing we came here on Sunday evening and caught the last quarter of Sunday Night Football. It was pretty packed but we sat down immediately and had a spot to see the multiple tv screens. Fells like a pub bar with good food. We started with the house fries that came out pretty quickly. We were devouring it. Then came the Pisano pizza, the lamb tacos, and salmon tacos. The Pisano was good with the sausage and the tasty portobello mushrooms. The lamb tacos has a kick so be aware of that. I enjoyed the salmon tacos the most with the guacamole.

Roasted beef salad
Dary P.

We came right at dinner time and it was fully packed. While waiting for our table, we ordered the drinks from the bar. We were able to get a table in less than 10 mins and they brought the drinks over to us. The service was great. While it was busy, our server was attentive to us. We ordered the following: 1. House cut fries 2. Roasted beet salad 3. Honey pie 4. Serrano-Rita The food and drinks were really good. Everything went well with each other. You get a sense of a neighborhood vibe. There are TVs to watch games on as well. Parking can be difficult. There is a valet option otherwise it is street parking.

Pear salad
