    Garlic cheese bread
    Kari E.

    What a nice surprise! I am in this area about once a month and there aren't many places to get a quick bite to eat on the run. I was craving garlic bread one of these days so I popped in to see what they had to offer. I was pleasantly surprised to see they always offer a "Big Slice" for $5. I got a pepperoni and an order of cheesy garlic bread and it was delicious!!! Most pizza places these days do garlic/cheese bread on those frozen slices of crappy bread that you can get at the store - not here! This was a split baguette type with great flavor, lots of cheese and great marinara. The big slice of pizza was super cheesy, had great browned pepperoni and the crust was crisp and delicious! I will definitely be stopping in any time I'm in the area!!!

    Hot honey pepperoni
    Kelly R.

    I thought the pizza was great. I got the hot honey pepperoni for delivery. It seemed they do not do their own delivery and from their website it takes me to a 3rd party for delivery... which increased the price substantially including a delivery fee, plus the charge from the 3rd party, plus tip... so I don't think I'll keep ordering delivery here because of the cost. I just wanted to try it because I'm new to the area. The sauce was really good, excellent crust, and I loved the hot honey on top. I would like the cheese to be a little more well done but it still was great either way. They were really quick turning out the pizza to me so I appreciate that. Thanks!

    We were looking for a new pizza place to try, my wife had found this online and through Twin City Pie Chasers facebook page. Wow! The pizza was amazing. Nice little pizza shop with a few tables. We ordered and sat down to wait. There was only only one person working but he was putting out the orders. I've been in search of a good sauerkraut and sausage pizza. There are are a lot out there but with mediocre flavor. Well today I found the best one I've had since Broadway Pizza Palace Inn. Amazing sauerkraut flavor, with delicious sausage. Pizza crust held all those ingredients perfectly with a nice crunch! We will be back.

    2 personal white cheese pizza pies with mushrooms reheated at home
    Sheri S.

    I heard this business opened up during the Pandemic and it appears to be doing well. One night we ordered two mushroom personal pies with white sauce for pick -up. The thin crust, evenly distributed white sauce was scrumptious. To keep these babies warm I put them in a skillet in the oven to warm them up in order to keep the original quality. The cheese definitely oozed and melted a bit but it did not lose its flavor! The personal pie size worked out for each of us. After I made a greek salad at home to go along with the pizza, which was the perfect compliment there was total satisfaction. I see more home orders from Lucca in the future!

    Food, service and ambiance is amazing. Highly recommend. It's my new favorite place to pick up and eat across the street at the brewery.

    4.99 deal: what they call a "slice" is actually a quarter of a large pizza. Amazing.

    The "w00t!": This place came up on a search when I was looking for a more NY-style slice for lunch, based on a pretty narrow location search. St. Louis Park for some reason has a fair few really decent pizza joints, but this one was unknown to me. Anyway, they do in fact have slices, and they are in fact big. Logistically, what happens is when you order they go to the back and they add whatever toppings to a par-baked quarter of a pizza, and run it through the oven for 4 minutes. This means you get a fresh, hot, made-to-order 25% of a 16" pizza... for 5 dollarbucks. Come on, that's amazing. This would be great already, but the crust is crunchy, the sauce has flavor, and they don't get stingy on the toppings. It's brilliant. The "meh.": It's in a strip mall at Cedar Lake and Excelsior. If you read that and think, "cool, I know where that is, that's not too far," then great. If you read that and think, "ugh, suburban strip mall," then I completely understand, and no judgement, you're not wrong. But you're also going to miss out. The "wtf?": Nothing stands out as a missed opportunity or anything they're failing at. Maybe with colder weather it would be good to have more seating inside? Maybe it would be cool to somehow make a reservation ahead of time for a pizza to-go at the end of the workday when people are getting out of St Louis Park? I don't know. I hope this place succeeds because it's great, and I worry a little just because it's a little bit hidden, or easy to miss.

    BEST pizza spot around!! They also have amazing sandwiches & pasta I get a slice of the AHOLA pizza almost once a week cuz it's my favorite!! You can order single slices of pizza & they are massive!! The owners are very nice as well!! 10/10 recommend this place

    12" "vegan meatza" ($18.50). Good crust, great sauce, decent vegan meats (unsure of brands). But the Daiya cheese sucks & was excessive.
    Kedar D.

    Pizzeria Lucca is a take-out pizza spot attached to a freestanding Walgreens. It has a bunch of vegan options, including Daiya cheese, and unknown brands of vegan chicken, pepperoni, sausage and meatballs. I got a 12" "vegan meatza" pizza ($18.50) but made with the regular crust instead of the cauliflower crust (this is one of those things I couldn't figure out how to do on their confusing online ordering site, so I had to phone my order). The pizza would have been great, were it not for the excessive quantity of Daiya cheese, which is by far the worst vegan cheese on the market. It's a rubbery, fake, unattractive piece of food technology. In this day and age, if you're not using Follow Your Heart, Violife/Plantings or something homemade, it's a shame. The 12" veggie pizza, made with vegan cheese (another modification I couldn't figure out how to do online) ($17) suffered from the same issue of the crappy Daiya cheese. All that said, the crusts here are good and the sauce is zesty and rich. Pizzeria Lucca also has a vegan meatball sub, but lacks a vegan chicken parm, and has no vegan desserts. I am glad Pizzeria Lucca is around, but if you want better vegan pizza in the suburbs, check out the similarly named, but far more famous, Pizza Luce.

    Stopped in and had a small pepperoni margherita pizza. Enjoyed talking to the owner and we chatted about pizza in the Twin Cities. The crust was crunchy and sauce really complimented the pizza. Looking forward to trying out the different types of pizza on the menu.

    I occasionally get a big slice of the CBR for lunch while picking up recycling in the area, it's always delicious and always fresh! Best pizza I've had in the twin cities.

This is an Argentina style pizza, which is my first time having it. The crust is literally the best part and I don't even like crust on any pizza. The shredded cheese that they put on the pizza is very delicate very fresh. I can't wait to get other pizzas and try those other toppings. I also got the beef empanada and it was very fresh. Very good. I would rate that 10/10.. The empanada did not break apart when I took a bite into it. It was absolutely piping hot and it comes with a chimichurri sauce and you actually don't really need the sauce.

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.

The service team is outstanding. Hannah went above and beyond, crafting two custom coffee martinis that were every bit as good as anything you'd find at a dedicated cocktail bar.

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.
