Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 10 Overall: 8 There should be an extra category to be scored for this establishment. Because how do you rate fun? I would give it a 10/10. First thing to know is that most people probably come in thinking it's just a pizzeria, but my group came with the knowledge that it's also a board game cafe. You will know once you walk into the dining room and see shelves of card and board games. With that in mind, food was secondary to us. Having a huge collection of board games to enjoy for hours while someone serving you food and drinks was a bonus. The fact that their pizza and caesar salad were all tasty was a plus. I visit Vancouver regularly to see my goddaughters. They both love board games and pizza, so how perfect is this place for us. We have been here a couple time before and we'll be back. read more

It was cold, so we were feeling like eating something warm. This place was nearby so we popped in, however, I quickly remembered why people come here to play games and then order food. We wanted to order tomato soup, but the service said that it's not recommended. We were surprised but took the suggestion and ordered the two cheese garlic bread instead. Turned out to be a little bland, so we got marinara sauce on the side. Now the pizza, we wanted veggie pizza, but the pizzas they had listed were not exactly what we wanted, so we looked at the right side of the menu and noticed that we could choose toppings and make our own pizza. We thought we understood and the server was trying to tell us that it is better if we order a pizza and then sub out toppings based on the ones that we want. But it didn't make sense, because on the very right was a make your own pizza and it said cheese zero dollars and then the rest would be added on top so we got nine toppings it should be about $18 which would equate the same as a pizza on the left side. So we went ahead with 9 toppings and our pizza ended up being $35. Didn't have the energy to chat with them after, so we just took the L and decided that we would never come back here unless we really wanted to play games. The pesto pasta was nice. read more

Fun place with tasty pizza and friendly service. Huge selection of board games. I love finding little games by the water in New West.

The pizzas had so many different flavours. Really creative menu. The crust was decent. The server was really nice and really helpful. Always on top of things. So fun that you can play board games as well! We shared the chicken heist and the pork and pineapple pizza. The ingredients were really nice. read more

Really good pizza and amazing s staff's you should really try it and they have great quality and great experience

A welcoming atmosphere where one can feel comfortable enough to grab a game and play with family. The food was surprisingly good and the wait staff was excellent! The tartufo was huge, the "bread sticks" were amazing. Family of six spent hours laughing, visiting, eating, drinking and having fun... we will DEFINATELY be back! read more

Fun place. Good pizza & the games make this a place for friends to gather. Best to go early. read more

Such a fun concept to combine a board game bar and a pizzeria. You'd think the pizzas are just a gimmick but theyre actually very good quality, with a surprisingly extensive menu of options. The board game selection is equally extensive, and the waiters are knowledgeable and happy to explain the rules of any of the games. read more

Stumbled upon this place in search of Italian food in the area. Didn't realize it was actually a board game restaurant where you could play board games for free while you wait for/eat your food. We were in a slight rush so didn't play any of the board games but the collection seemed quite vast. The food itself was good! It wasn't amazing, but it was good and did the job. We got an Alfredo pasta w garlic bread and a Santorini pizza w added olives. The staff was really nice. Would definitely recommend checking out this place! read more

What a great little spot for families to get together! My husband, daughter and I decided to stop in for some pizza Tuesday night since it was close to dinner time. Ludica had shelves and shelves of board games for us to choose from. We ended up playing Connect Four and Battleship. Pizza was good and they allow you to order half and half. They have a small selection of beer, but the options were perfect for us. There's also a kid's menu that comes with a small pizza or spaghetti, milk or juice and ice cream. This will be great memories for us and a monthly tradition going forward. read more

Best boardgame cafe in the city. (May currently be the only one? But there have been numerous competitors.) The pizza is top notch - we often get it as take-out, though staying to play some games is always a great time. read more

Got the cheesy spinach and artichoke pizza with jalapeño's ($18.50). It was ok... the sauce tastes good, I liked the amount of artichokes and jalapeños however it wasn't as flavour as you'd expect it to be. read more

Brutal. First if all, they delivered the wrong pizza (via DoorDash) , ordered a veggie pizza..and a chicken bacon one arrived. Calzone was huge, soggy, and just plain nasty. Never again read more

I've been to their Chinatown location and I have to say the pizza here is much better! It felt like there were more toppings and the pizza base wasn't soggy. The Pesto pasta had a nice creamy sauce and the portion was pretty big. The staff are great and super helpful! We came on a Saturday night and it wasn't very busy so we basically stayed until they were closed! read more

I live a block away and recently discovered that I can order online and get a pizza in 15 minutes. I've been ordering a lot anyway...so I'm glad today they served such a shit pizza to me. burnt on the bottom and edges, burnt bits of cheese on top. I ordered through DoorDash and got a message saying it was delayed...then suddenly it wasn't. I wish they had delayed it and made a fresh one instead of serving a bad pizza read more

Pizzeria Ludica - Burnt edges and cheese - Pizza Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

First Impression... they are playing games - board games! So arrived without preconceptions, or prior knowledge, it's pizza, beer, bright lights, children (thank gawd-reasonably well behaved), tables of three; two people and a game! Staff? sincerely polite and truly friendly. Music? Nope ! Just the sound of scrabble letters and connect 4's. Space? Let's just say, you come for the fun and food. Food? Caprese salad looked like it was bulk made and over marinated, that aside was very tasteful. Pizza, served hot! Hot is always an excellent start! Very tasty- delicious and very well proportioned toppings. Price, average, you won't be offended, The hipsters yelling at the top of their lungs and self applauding their game moves ... that offends me! Restaurant ... not my thing - Food ....really good... hummm... best way to approach this .... Take Out NOTE TO MANAGEMENT: Remove to 10% tip option, if people want to leave 10% they should stay at home; try waiting tables- worth a lot more than that! read more

Your new west location is AWEFUL!!! No wonder nobody in our group or surrounding tables we talked to left tips and if they did only 2$ is what they got they didn't even deserve that! your waitstaff was rude over the phone before we even got there and once we were there they were even more incompetent not checking on any guests unless it was to take orders or bring the food so what we ordered to drink before appys or food came was what we were stuck with unless someone got up and approached the rude little A***B****on her phone sitting at the front counter Our pizzas were burnt on the crusts like black and the dough was raw and one hour before he restaurant closed the waitress came up to us and was like pressuring us to basically pack up the game we were playing and leave even tho we finished it way before 9:30 closing time and when she brought deserts at 830 they came in take out boxes like we were still playing our game and very obvious we weren't ready to leave when I got home and told my neighbour where we went and what happened she told me not once but twice her and her work went there and both times almost the exact same experience sooo it sucks because would definatly have gone again but not after all this!!and I will make sure I pass the story along to everyone I know and put reviews everywhere my husband and I could have eaten at the keg for 150$ and had better food and service so yeah tix this shit or you will be going down! read more

Great place if you love to play board game. They have tons of choices of gameboard (even not as many as the one in chinatown location). They have choice for vegan for the pizza. Pizza is good because lots of toppings can be chosen, and pasta is also good. However their service is meh. This location is better than the one in chinatown (food taste wise). read more

This pizza is delicious!! We had the garlic breadsticks, the Duple, and the Pineapple pulled pork, with jalapeños on half (because when it comes to heat I'm a pansy but the men in my family are not) which is a bit of a twist on hawaiian. The crust is awesome, it's soft and has really good flavor especially after being wood fired. The toppings are fresh and flavorful. The beer is local. We enjoyed everything. If we lived here I feel that we would eat here often. read more

Dinner on a Friday night with some friends .. Food: delicious .. I ordered the spicy salami and ricotta pizza ( tasty but not spicy at all) Then shared a large Nutella pizza ( 6 slices ) with friends ... bad decision to share .. I could have eaten it all on my own .. yum ! Service: fast and friendly Ambience: it was quite noisy and it was difficult to hear each other talk .. great for a boisterous night of fun playing board games not so much a romantic date .. Anyway still need to come back to try all the different types of pizza read more

The pizza is good but the service is terrible we had to get our own cutlery, straws ect. The server couldn't be bothered with any questions or help. If you don't want to be there then you shouldn't be. The food was fine we had it was slow and the place had 2 other tables. I was looking forward for a great pizza and good time the terrible service with the burnt pizza and wait simply not worth it. I would not waste my time here or suggest anyone else does either. When people go out it is for a good time not to be scolded for asking a question about the menu. Simply put there are better places to spend your money at than pizza ludica. I really hope management takes a look at their front line and fixes the problem. read more

We tried out Pizzeria Ludica mainly for the board games but were super happy to discover the delicious pizza!! The Santorini was especially tasty. There were lots of games to choose from and the service was friendly! Would definitely recommend! read more

My son and I went to Pizzeria Ludica last night for the first time. I ordered him the pizza he wanted then asked them to add mushrooms and olives to my side of the pizza. When it arrived, my half had just peppers and olives. They didn't return to the table to ask how our pizza was. They didn't bring my bill. Then I waited for 20 minutes for them to ring it up for me at the front. They are clearly understaffed and inexperienced. I also heard the staff talking about how disappointing it was that there were families there because they don't spend as much. The pizza itself was bland. The chorizo they used is cheap, greasy and lacking flavour. The crust was soggy and disappointing. The game that we played was damaged and missing a number of pieces. I would have been better off spending the money I spent here on buying a game and ordering in pizza. I really wanted to like this place. My 7 year old declared it the best restaurant ever because he loved the games. read more

I just moved into the area and wanted to venture out and try something outside the typical big chain pizza places. We ordered the Carcassonne pizza and Two-Cheese Garlic Breadsticks. Carcassonne pizza sadly was quite lacklustre. The flavour profile was overall one-noted, with no real distinction of the various toppings and ingredients in the pizza. The sauce was somewhat ok and the crust wasn't well balanced, becoming flaccid with falling toppings the minute you picked it up. Two-cheese garlic breadsticks was honestly just very thinly cut pieces of dough baked with the bare minimum of cheese and garlic olive oil. Again, hardly any pop of flavour there. I probably suggest they fluff the dough up and/or have a marinara or garlic oil dip to go with it to give a little more sensation to the palette. They were very timely with getting my take-out order, which was a positive experience. They had my order done exactly at the time estimated by the person over the phone. read more

Above average pizza on our take out order. Everything is thin crust here. The pizza we ordered had the right balance of cheese and sauce, which a lot of places don't. Service wasn't the friendliest, but the order was ready at the quoted time. For takeout, I'm not going to ask for more than that. read more

Tried Pizzeria Ludica for the first time. It's a fun environment for a group of people to hang out. While the service was extremely slow, we filled our time playing games (which is kind of the point!) Everyone in my group loved their pizzas (so did i) the only disappointing thing about the menu is that they severely lack vegetarian and vegan options. They won't let you custom-make a pizza, but they will let you sub out any toppings to make it vegetarian or vegan. They also have a phenomenal gluten free crust! Probably one of the best I've had. Overall, it was worth the wait and the hassle of trying to figure out how to swap out all the toppings. read more

Decided to check this place out for our weekly date night. Absolutely had a great time! There were tons of games to choose from, we decided on battle ship. The pizza wAs sooooooooo good! Super thin crust with delicious sauce and toppings. We got the plain margarita and tuluva. The only negative I can say is that the pizza is pretty small, thin and expensive for what you're getting. Like if you were to compare to getting 2 medium pizzas from Pizza Hut/ dominos/ etc etc, you would be stuffed and probably still have left overs for less. I'll still come here. But probably not as often as I would like to. read more

So excited to have Ludica opening down the street from me! My husband and I visited on their second day opened, having waited for their "opening soon" sign to come down. For just having opened, we were incredibly impressed with the service, food and games selection. We ordered the garlic cheese bread and it was so good we wished we had ordered two! Next time I'll get a whole order just for myself. The folks at Ludica were helpful with the menu and checked in often to see if we needed help with the games. I'm already looking forward to going back to my new favourite New West hang out! - Ashley Marie read more

We were in a rush so just grabbed a pizza to go...next time we will have to eat-in so we can partake in some board games! We ordered by phone...they said it would be ready in 15 minutes...we got there in 10 and the pizza was already waiting for us! The pizza was great...we ordered the Maori...which is basically the adult version of Hawaiian pizza... with prosciutto crudo, pineapple, goat cheese, and fresh arugula...it was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to try their other pizza's...they have some really fun pizza toppings on the menu. I think my nephew would like to check it out too...pizza and board games...what 10 year old wouldn't love that! read more

I really want to like this place as it's close to my house, I love pizza and the staff is really nice. It's just not great. I've given it three tries to make sure it wasn't just the pizza I'm ordering, but each time it seems a bit skimpy on cheese and not very flavourful. It's weird, I can't put my finger on what's wrong with the flavour. Is it the crust? The sauce? Not enough spices in the toppings? It's not terrible, something is just missing. I ordered the pizza bread once and it had some oregano-looking spices on pizza crust, maybe a bit of olive oil. No dipping sauce. It was super dry and I couldn't finish it. Last time I ordered from there a leftover piece sat in the fridge for days until I chucked it. This NEVER happens to me with pizza. I would almost eat a piece I found on the ground, so this is a sign it's time to give up. The main factor for me is price. It's about $15 for one of the vegetarian pizzas I like, and they're not that big. They don't do like small, medium and large there, it's just the one size. If it wasn't great quality but was cheap, I'd probably grab it from time to time and not complain. read more

Ok the food is not what you come here for. You come here for the games and maybe eat if you're hungry. But the level of quality and valuation of the food is sub par. I've actually dined in twice and gotten takeout twice as well SOLELY BECAUSE they're the only ones opened late night some nights. The chicken alfredo is more like WHERE'S THE FRICKEN CHEESE IN MY ALFREDO?!? lol even after the second time when I paid for ADD PARMESAN. read more

So many games!!! I'm not going to lie, we do love pizza, but we came here solely for the games. We visited the downtown location twice, and new Westminster once. Both are solid choices The pizza was good, not really something I'd write home about but still pretty good; they have a great variety of toppings and even vegan options. We came very close to opening time and got a table right away all three times but they did have a lot of tables set aside for reservations so if you want to come anytime after 5:30pm, you should probably make a reservation a day or two in advance - at least at the downtown location. The New Westminster location is about a 6 minute walk from the metro station and definitely way less busy than downtown. The service was great, and we were pretty impressed with the affogato, you don't expect a pizzeria boardgame spot to blow you away with espresso but it happened I love that they list the games they have on their website too so you can do some research ahead of time! read more

I happened to be over at my brothers place last night and he lives quite close to this location. He ordered us the Attika pizza and the carcasonne pizza. Similar but both SOOOOO DELICIOUS. We just ordered and picked up but inside was really spacious. They even have game you can choose and play at your table. Pretty cool. Did I mention the pizza was DELICIOUS!!!! Highly recommended . We were there on a stat so wasn't busy it seemed like. Oh we also ordered the breadsticks which were just as delicious at the pizza read more

I've been meaning to try this place and I finally did one night when I didnt feel like driving all the way to commercial and Broadway for pizza. We ordered the Vul kar because I love spicy. We got the pizza and when I opened the box, I was quite underwhelmed. The pizza was ok, it didnt taste bad just not great. Also the crust was just ok, if we had let it sit I feel like the crust would'vebeen hard and not re-heatable. I probably wouldn't order here again for the price point and I just wasn't impressed with my 1st experience. I'd probably drive all the way to pizzeria barbarella on Broadway instead for similar price points and waaaaay better pizza. read more

Great night of playing games and eating great food. Loved the secure feeling that vaccination checks were happening, and people were having a good time. It felt normal... which is what we need at times like this. Thanks to the staff for being attentive and friendly. read more

A great addition to the New West restaurant scene! We had a great time playing board games (we couldn't quite believe the huge number of board games they have!) and of course enjoying some absolutely terrific thin crust pizza. When I checked out their website, I was intrigued by the modern look and the opportunity to have some fun in between bites of pizza playing board games. The fact that they also had a stone pizza oven sealed the deal for me and I knew I had to check this place out. Boy oh boy it did not disappoint! Absolutely excellent and totally delicious thin crust pizza! Oh and they also had a reasonable selection of wine and local Vancouver craft beer to enjoy too. Reasonable prices, as our bill was just over $50 for 3 people including our drinks. We will definitely make a point of returning soon!! read more
