    The OG Luce pizza
    Jenn N.

    Ate here twice when in town for a couple of days. I am a pizza snob. This place delivers. The dough is obviously rested, docked & cooked at the perfect temp. The toppings arefresh & high quality. The salad was also on point. You had me at Wednesdays are whiskey days! Service was great, both at sit down & towards the later hours at the bar. The bartender on Thursday late night was awesome. He was friendly, helpful & working hard! The OG Luce pizza was really good - especially if you are a big fan of garlic. My fav was the "original" - closest to a combo IMO

    What a great place. I'm jealous that Twin Cities resident have such a fantastic vegan pizza parlor with free delivery and a sizable menu. I tried a specialty pizza and made my own pepperoni and artichoke pie. The crust was perfect on both and I don't think you can go wrong with the vegan melt cheese or their home made vegan ricotta. I am looking forward to trying their pasta and salad next!

    Pizza Lucé truly doesn't miss, no matter the location. After a certain time at night (unsure when), you are carded (21+) in order to enter. However, the security were all very friendly and the staff inside were very efficient. You have to pay extra for ranch which kinda sucks, but other than that, my experience here has been great every time.

    I've been dying to try Pizza Luce for some time now and I finally had the opportunity to try the downtown Minneapolis location. Unfortunately I didn't have the best experience which is the reason for the 2 stars. I sat down at the bar which wasn't crazy busy for a Saturday night and ended up waiting roughly 10+ mins until someone came over to me to finally say hi. The bartender seemed to notice that I was there but took a while to approach me and decided to clean up another area, check the tvs, and put away the glasses all before even saying something like I'll be right with you. I asked for the menu and was only provided a food menu...when I was really hoping for a cocktail menu as well. I ordered the elote gfree pizza which was delish but the ambience and lack of friendliness of my server/bartender was over shadowing this first time experience hence the two stars. He just seemed to have an attitude. Couldn't even get a smile out of him. Anyways I'll probably try another Pizza Luce location before coming back to try one downtown. Too bad too.

    We ordered Pizza Lucé while staying at the Residence Inn Downtown/City Center nearby. We arrived back to the hotel late from a concert at the nearby Target Center, and were definitely feeling a little hungry after a long show, so appreciated their late hours. The staff at the hotel's front desk were the ones that suggested Pizza Lucé, so we were a little trepidatious, thinking maybe they had a deal with them to send them business - but even if they did have a reciprocal arrangement, the food we received was DELICIOUS. My photos won't be super pretty because we definitely ate everything out of the containers they came in at the little table in the hotel room (which didn't hurt the quality at all, by the way). We shared an order of the Mostaccioli, and it was excellent. I'm used to Mostaccioli just being a little side item of sauce and noodles, but this was a full entree size, full of well made sauce, super tender noodles, and a TON of cheese on top. It was really tasty paired with the garlic bread that came with the meals (but I'm a garlic bread fiend, so maybe that was just me LOL) Our hangry group also split the Lasagna Abruzzi, which you can choose from a few different sauces for - we picked Alfredo, and YUM! It was the perfect match of creamy, meaty, and actually pretty light with the thinner lasagna noodles they use. It was also a huge serving. We ordered a few desserts and I got the tiramisu. It was in it's own little clam shell packaging, and was pretty standard as tiramisu goes. It's my favorite dessert, so I will take it pre-packaged, homemade, out of a freezer, whatever. Now, we only had the delivery experience, so please consider that when reading my review. The dining in the restaurant I'm sure is even better, and I will for sure be checking it out in person next time I'm in Minneapolis. If you're staying at the Residence Inn Downtown/City Center (or anywhere near there), and want a great delivery option, Pizza Lucé is definitely in the conversation!

    Garlic cheese toast
    Kristin S.

    Ordered this for delivery at our hotel downtown. The garlic cheese toast was pretty basic and my least favorite dish. The pepperoni pizza was good, but the standout was the Lasagna Abruzzi finished with an Alfredo sauce. I would HIGHLY recommend trying that.

    Love pizza Luce!! The best vegan pizza I've ever had. So delicious! All of their pizzas are way above the average pizza. The toppings are all fresh. The pizzas are cooked perfectly. And the salads are amazing. I always like to have a salad with my pizza so I'm very glad they have such good choices. We have only had delivery and the delivery staff are so nice and friendly. My family loves Pizza Luce and we get pizza from here whenever we get the chance

    Pretty menus

    We had the buffalo wings and Hulapeno pizza. It is delicious I would definitely eat it again! It's comfortable and not too loud. Great draft beer selection. Service was fast and kind.

    Stopped by Pizza Lucé while in Minneapolis and we really enjoyed it. Their watermelon salad was delish! And the small size was more than enough for two people to share. We also had a small pizza with meatballs, red onion and bruschetta tomatoes and let me tell you, I wish more places did that. The tomatoes were so yummy! Our server was so sweet and really helpful with recommendations. The vibe of the restaurant was super fun too. All around a great experience.

    The pizza tasted good and was well prepared. The crust and sauce were enjoyable. The only thing I would improve is adding a bit more topping

    *AMAZING pizza, great vibes*…read more I have not stopped raving about this pizza since the first time I tried it in 2023! It has such a unique and amazing flavor, with a crispy crust. The empanadas are also delicious. Service is always quick and friendly. The atmosphere in the downtown Minneapolis location is also great.

She then made her rounds around the restaurant, the two hours I was there. I found the presentation completely inappropriate for a restaurant. It felt more like something you would see at a strip club or Vegas nightlife venue than at a restaurant, and it was especially jarring at a 5 PM event. Honestly, I would have found it inappropriate regardless of the time. I'm Latina and all for a good, sexy time. But there is a time and place for everything. Beyond that, the restaurant was extremely crowded and hot, and they were already running out of food. Given the number of people there, the food situation was poorly handled. I also had an issue with my drink charge. It was listed as $9, but I was charged over $11, while my friend was charged only $10 for hers. That inconsistency was frustrating. Unfortunately, between the uncomfortable atmosphere, extreme crowding, heat, lack of food, and billing discrepancy, this was a very disappointing experience. I've since seen other reviews mentioning long waits, and after experiencing the chaos myself, I can understand why.

When my friend and I walked in, we came into a fairly spacious dimly lit space with loads of people inside. We were immediately informed that there would be over 1.5hr wait for a walk-in table. We were given the option to wait for bar seating as it would probably be quicker - and surely, it was. We did have to wait quite a bit, but it was a tolerable amount of time and definitely less than what it would have taken for an actual table. My friend and I decided to share 2 pizza pies as we wanted to get a taste of two different flavors, so we eventually settled on Korean BBQ & Perfect Pickle Pie. KOREAN BBQ As it was created by a Korean chef, it definitely had true authentic Korean flavors. As a Korean myself, I was very familiar with this soy vinaigrette and have tried this on many salad before - so, it was hitting home for me. Also, you can't go wrong with the bulgogi/beef short ribs known to all those who had Korean BBQ before. The combination of the sauces that they use for this pizza is definitely very rich, full of umami. I personally enjoyed it. PERFECT PICKLE PIE This pie was a totally different flavor to the Korean BBQ. It's less rich and maybe can be overpowered or considered more bland compared to other pizza flavors. But when tried together with the BBQ, it balances out the richness of the BBQ with the more subtle/less umami flavors. This pie gives more of a tangy/sour taste that pickles provide and more of a crunch due to the chips that are added on top. The dill is present, but not overpowering. It's a nice low-key kind of taste that people who like pickles will enjoy. Overall, the flavors were very rich in every pizza pie that we had that our mouths were bursting with flavor. It was definitely the most unique pizza toppings that I've had and can see why it's so highly regarded. I can tell that they really are meticulous with their every process and that their pizza guy by the wood fire oven is expertise in what he does. My friend and I walked out quite satisfied and I was honestly more full than I expected.

There were gnats, yes, but it wasn't bad. But it did strike me that we were warned, but then no mention was made about what to do if the plague descended. Not a good start to the evening. We waited maybe 15 minutes until water arrived, at which point the server said he'd be back to take drink orders. Another 15 minutes later we ordered drinks. We saw them 20 minutes later and ordered then. First round of food arrived 20 minutes after that (arancini, quite good -- the highlight of the meal). But then it was a 40 minute wait until the second round of food came. By this point we were starving. There is simply no reason to have to wait that long for small plates. The same overly familiar server thanked us for our patience, said that he checked on the order assuming it got lost but then was informed that no, it's just slow. I said that, yes, we had been waiting long and that we were getting quite hungry. He assured us our mains would not be that long and then added "Yes, this has been the shift from hell." The mains did arrive more promptly, and they were... fine. The pasta was overcooked by a fair degree, and sauces were of a quality that any decent amateur home cook could make themselves. The pizza had an excellent crust. But when you're paying this much for a meal, you want more than a good pizza pie. Server arrived later saying that to apologize for the wait, desserts would be comped, but then... we waited so long to put in a dessert order we just asked for our check. So: incredibly slow. Service that was overly familiar to the point of reminding us that we were having a terrible time. And then no adequate compensation was made for the fact that we were having an awful time ON MY HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY, which I had noted when I made the reservation. So, diners beware.
