    Specialty menu for the summer 2025
    Lucy N.

    I stopped in to their lovely patio on a summer afternoon for happy hour. $5 tap beers on Tuesday and $2 off appetizers. I was seated promptly at a nice table outdoors as requested. The service was nice and attentive, and the $5 happy hour beers came out quickly. I ordered a summer seasonal offering called the sopressata flatbread. It was absolutely incredible bursting with flavor and nicely crispy. I hope to come back soon!

    $5 wine at happy hour

    Came here for a birthday party on a Thursday night at 5pm. We had a reservation for a large group (I think around 15 adults & 2 kids). We were sat in the side room and had it all to ourselves which was super nice! We had the BEST waitress named Ruby! Can't speak highly enough of her. She was attentive, friendly, and was extremely quick with bringing things out to us. She made our experience a 10/10! We started with wings, bruschetta, cheese bread, and salad as appetizers. We had pitchers of water, lemonade, and Diet Coke. We could order other beverages also, I got a glass of wine for $5 since it was still happy hour and it was a great size pour! (See pic) We had sausage, pepperoni, and some type of taco pizza come out for the group to share. They came out super hot which I appreciate so much when it comes to restaurant food! The pizza itself was good, my only complaint is it's very light on sauce, it's mostly just cheese and toppings so it can be kind of dry. Is it the best pizza in the Twin Cities? No. But it's not bad. I would come back for the good vibes, nice staff, and happy hour deals.

    It's so hard to find people to go to Pizza Lucé with as many of my friends and fam aren't fans of the pizza here (any location). I eat plain cheese which I do have my personal list of go-to fave spots but I do enjoy Pizza Lucé from time to time. I crave the artichoke dip from here a lot which is the main thing that brings me back. It's so flavorful compared to other restaurants dip and they give you a good portion with warm bread. So good. Also get that!! We adventured outside of regular cheese pizza and got the elote pizza (subbed the bacon for vegan bacon). The pizza was overall just okay. Better than just plain cheese pizza? Yes. The best pizza I've ever had? No. I felt like with all the toppings and sauce the pizza was still a bit lackluster flavor wise. It wasn't horrible but probably wouldn't order it again. Our waiter was very busy but she was nice and attentive enough but service was overall a bit slow. They were a bit busy as it was a Saturday night. After we asked for the check we waited for about 15 min before just leaving cash to cover the bill & tip on the table as we were passing to exit we seen all lot of the staff in the back chatting/hanging out.

    Not sure what all the hype is about, but ordered 2 pizzas from here and both were overpriced and over baked... Delivered on time but looked as if they had been sitting in a warmer bag for an hour... both were not hot.... Just warm. wasn't impressed at all. Specially for the price!

    This is such a fun restaurant to go to with a group large or small. I meet a group of friends here every couple of months, and we always have a great time. The service is always wonderful. It's truly one of the most welcoming and friendly places around. In addition to a standard menu that is filled with options for everyone (truly truly--vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, meaty as heck... super customizable!), there are creative seasonal options. This visit, there was a Thanksgiving option and a butternut squash pizza. Fall pizza? Count us in. I recommend Pizza Luce for a fun night out with friends or a group of people who all have different dietary preferences. You won't be disappointed. I had the Hulapeno with veggie pepperoni, and it was amazing. I meant so save some for lunch the next day, but that didn't happen. The hot honey? So good!

    The patio (and pizza obviously, haha) is the spotlight at this location. Parking can be limited at times due to its popularity. What I appreciate about Luce is how they've generally kept prices reasonable despite the turbulence of recent years. They might be one of the few/last places to NOT impose a surcharge for credit cards, which is greatly appreciated. They also haven't imposed a wellness or employee fee that many other restaurants have. I also enjoy seeing their menu change consistently so each visit usually results in a new surprise pizza offering. Given how expensive dining out has become, it's really nice to have a dependable place like Luce where you can still enjoy good food and good service without sacrificing budget.

    This is more of a 3.5 star review but leaning towards 4 for great delivery and customer service. The food was bizarrely nothing like the Pizza Lucé in uptown. Pizza was bland and almost flavorless, the artichoke dip was just peppery and spicy and the marinara for bread was super tangy. Everything was off in expectation but I'll say that could be preference and different location. The food arrived accurately, hot, and driver was super kind. Presentation was great and packaging really pretty.

    Elote pizza...so delish
    Sami G.

    So glad I am trying pizza Lucé again. Had a mediocre meal a couple weeks ago, but the Richfield location redeemed their reputation! Quiet night here but speedy service and very friendly wait staff. I ordered the artichoke dip to start and that was fresh, hot and delicious. Loved the chunks of park baked into the top. I went for a non-traditional pizza for my main. It was the Elote pizza. I toned down the heat factor and ordered it without the fresh jalapeños. This pizza is so amazing. It came out right out of the oven and the flavors of the tajin sweet corn, the bacon, airy crust and the cilantro cream on top all make for a delish meal! Def recommend!!

    Garlic bread side
    Margaret S.

    YUM! I ordered through the website and picked up at the restaurant with curbside delivery. I had the Gouda Mac & cheese and dessert of cookies & cream cheesecake. The Mac & cheese was a huge portion - especially for the money. Tons of bacon on the top! The cookies & cream cheesecake was really rich and the slice was big - perfect for sharing. Loved the curbside pickup right in front of the front doors. Otherwise, the parking lot was packed at 7pm on a random Thursday night.

    Bread fro artichoke dip
    Amy H.

    If you like a pizza with no sauce then this is for you. We got the sausage, onion, garlic pizza. It had good flavor but I'm just not a fan. Artichoke dip was bland but bread was very good. I ordered garlic butter under "sauces" cause I like to dip my pizza in it sometimes, and it literally was whipped butter. Now, my husband didn't mind this pizza but wouldn't get again.

    I have visited this place a few times. I have ordered take out, dined outside and dined inside. Every time I have been here the food and service meet my expectations. The environment is nice and clean and the food is delicious. I have tried everything from pizza to appetizers and even their cold pasta salad. I love how the patio is dog friendly. I highly suggest pizza luce.

    Delivery was on time. I found the wire in the crust, glad I didn't bite into that. Pizza Luce is normally pretty good so not sure what happened.

The décor is elegant and inviting, and halfway through dinner the lights dimmed into what we jokingly called the "sexy dinner lights," making the atmosphere even more warm and cozy. One thing I really liked is that every entrée comes in multiple sizes, so you can order the portion that fits your appetite. I wish more restaurants offered that option! We started with the Parmesan Crusted Shrimp, and it was a great appetizer. The shrimp had a light, crispy Parmesan crust and came with two delicious dipping sauces. I ordered the Lasagna, and it was exactly what I was hoping for--rich, hearty, cheesy, and full of flavor. One entrée at the table was the Chicken Fettuccine, and we all laughed because none of us expected the pasta to be bright green! It turned out to be spinach fettuccine and ended up being a favorite. Another person ordered the Seafood Linguini De Mare. It wasn't their personal favorite, but that was simply a matter of taste rather than the quality of the dish. I had a Red Ruby Spritz mocktail, which was refreshing and beautifully presented. The others enjoyed their drinks as well. The portions were generous. Even though we were completely stuffed, we still couldn't pass up dessert! The Crème Brûlée was outstanding with a perfectly crisp caramelized sugar topping and silky custard. The Budino was incredibly rich, decadent, and one of the highlights of the night. The Salted Caramel Gelato was also enjoyed. Service was friendly, attentive, and never rushed. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere that made us want to linger. One funny tip: the bathrooms were spotless, but the toilets are surprisingly low! I almost sat down much faster than I expected. so be careful. Overall, Ciao Bella was a wonderful dining experience with delicious food, generous portions, beautiful décor, and a relaxing atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

    Too expensive for me. Sorry! :(…read more I've driven past this place countless times headed downtown and always wanted to give it a try because I love Italian food! Finally the perfect day to snag some arrived. Got our meals to-go, which in a way was like "thank goodness" because at least I didn't have to then also leave a tip for the wait staff... Doing so would've made this $50+ instead of $40+. Ouch! DX The bottled beverages are $4 a pop, canned for $3. Gosh dang, fam, you could've at least made those affordable to even things out instead of finding another way to gouge... Placed my order at the counter and sat in the lobby on the hard chairs to wait for it to be prepared. It took A WHILE. Which maybe makes sense for stuff like lasagna and pizza. Idk. I was there pretty late at night (nearly 8pm) on a Monday night, so maybe that was part of the problem too? It got later and later into the evening and I got hangier the longer I sat, I'll admit. Oops. At least when the order was ready, it was piping hot, so even on the 15-minute drive home it stayed plenty warm when we opened it up to consume. Sadly though, the garlic bread was halfway to soggy because it steamed inside the tin foil... Thankfully our air fryer was able to restore it to crunchy glory. The food was all pretty tasty at least, and in a reasonable quantity, so even though it was pricey, I did get three meals out of my $21 pasta dish (I'm on the small side though, so your "mileage" may vary). If I was made of money, I'd be happy to return to try the dine-in experience. It looked like the inside and outside had been painted with fun colors, which I always find to be a plus (I like knowing some artist out there got to contribute their craft to making a place unique). Or maybe some time I'll just drop in to try the gelato (or have the in-laws treat us when they visit, pfft). The parking situation is... well, a situation. It's not good. They have a small lot out back that isn't well delineated as to where you should or can park... and escaping from that lot is also a burden. I think most people just parallel park on the opposite side of the street? Or maybe walk from Lake Nokomis? Or maybe it's all local folk who walk from home. I get it, not every place can accommodate a lot of vehicles though.

A certain demographic in Minneapolis always makes me uncomfortable. Around what I believe is called "the Lakes" is a segment of the population that carries itself with an aura of superiority. They gravitate toward Linden Hills, Excelsior, and Wayzata. It's odd, because we all live in Minneapolis, not Saint-Tropez. These folks are fairly homogenous and dress as if they just stepped off their sailboat or their tennis court. Even when at a nice restaurant, they must appear sporty, never flashy, except when you spy the Louis Vuitton purse or Prada athletic bag. Most of the men, if older, have a full head of gray hair and dress for the country club. Gia was filled with them. I don't fit into that particular tribe. I'm short with hardly any hair on my head, and like to dress fashionably, but never sporty. I dress as if I'm in NYC, where I grew up, and I like cool clothes, even though I'm an old fart. The stares I received were not welcoming. Jeff, the ubiquitous server/bartender who took care of us, was great, as was the omnipresent woman who took care of the front. The food is very good, especially the fantastic pasta. My swordfish was served with fabulous grilled vegetables, but I had to hunt that elusive fish down.
