Came here on a Friday afternoon. We came with another family so there was about seven of us. They seated us quickly. It was a bit busy but the server was helpful. What we swallowed: CESAR SALAD: Leaves were a bit wilty but the croutons were nice CALAMARI: A little bit on the salty side but they had a nice flavor to the breading. KIDS CHICKEN STRIP MEAL WITH FRIES: The chicken was your basic chicken strip. KIDS SIX INCH PEPPERONI PIZZA: Nice crust and the sauce wasn't too tangy. We came here for a meetup. Glad that it fit our party but it was just an average pizza place. read more

Their wings are the best in town, but you can only get them at this location. Make sure you get the BOGO deals when ordering multiple pizzas, which I recommend as well. read more

I used to love this place, but after last night, I'll never be back. My family and I came in for a nice meal, only to have it completely ruined by careless service and poor decisions. We ordered a slightly smaller pizza and, instead of the normal pedestal stand every other pizza was served on, we got what I can only describe as a bent paper clip contraption. Worse yet, the server put it on the table upside down, leaving our pizza balanced on two thin chrome arms. Within a minute of the server leaving, my mother-in-law gently slid the pan towards her to grab a slice. One side dropped instantly, and the entire pizza slipped right off the pan and directly onto the table. This happened in full view of the server, who made no effort to assist. There's no way the table was clean enough to eat off of. We had already waited 20 minutes for our food, and after flagging down a server, it took nearly an hour from the time of our original order for my wife and mother-in-law to finally get their replacement pizza. By then, the rest of us had finished eating, and the mood was completely ruined. Worse still, the server repeatedly interrupted us to ask, "How's dinner?" as if they didn't already know we were all frustrated and hungry. These interruptions, along with the lack of any sincere effort to make amends, only compounded everyone's feelings of annoyance and disappointment. And to make it worse, they still charged us full price for the meal. The manager only offered a small $15 discount after I said I would never return. If you want to pay full price for a meal that ends up on a dirty table, endure endless interruptions of an accusatory tone, and leave feeling like no real effort was made to make things right, this is the place for you. I told them to keep their $15 that's not going to make up for the S-it Show I just experienced. The manger did a poor job of hiding his condescending smile. I F'N hate this place now read more

My friend ordered the most beautiful looking margarita drink ever. It's called "The bulldog", and it has a corona beer being held by clamps in the middle of this large margarita glass with salt on the rim. It made me wish I could drink alcohol but I can't. My manicotti was okay. It was too hot when it landed in my mouth the first time. Strangely enough I enjoyed it more the next day. The portions they give you at the restaurant are huge so I took my leftover home and when I ate it the next day at room temperature it was delicious. Super cheesy and creamy with spinach. The garlic bread was also excellent. The wait time for our food to be prepared on a Sunday evening was a bit long. I'd say we waited about more than an hour. : ( read more

I've ordered many times from Santa Lucia, and normally the pizza is pretty good, albeit overpriced. My last order was atrocious and the "Italian" pizza tasted like the meat was bad. I called to let the management know about my experience and the manager insulted me repeatedly, saying things like: "I'm sorry you feel that way" as though my "feelings" are the issue and not the crappy pizza I received. I have never before called to complain and I was very surprised and disgusted to be treated this way. I will never order from them ever again! read more

Over ordered, but I ain't complaining!!! Is it just me or are the portions in Winnipeg much larger that Toronto? I have been anticipating to go to a Santa Lucia since i first arrived in Winnipeg because I've noticed it's a common franchised restaurant. Well known for their pizza, but for some reason that might we didn't order any. However, they have amazing deals throughout the week and even better staff to compliment the service you receive here! My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and ordered our food from there. That night there was a deal on appetizers (can't remember what exactly), and it led us to getting 2 appetizers only because it made sense. Cheesy Bread Sticks: (3.5/5) Regular but still delicious cheesy bread! Calamari: (4/5) Light and flavourful! Moussaka (4/5): Strong in flavour, large portion and great taste! Came served in a hot pot. I would definitely recommend this location as it was quite large, had both a bar and dining area and staff was very accommodating! read more

Picked up our order: ready on time, nice and hot. If you like thick crust and lots of white cheese, this is the pizza for you. Our order was a half and half with so much 'cheese' we couldn't see the dividing line between the flavours. Very modest amounts of topping, like sliver thin slices of green pepper and a few lonely pieces of pepperoni. The famous sauce? Well, there was something red on the crust but it didn't have any flavour. Overall, a VERY filling pizza, but utterly bland and not worth the calories. Families with hungry kids who really just want cheese and bread would probably like this. read more

Absolutely awful pizza! "It's all about the sauce". Seriously!?!? The sauce is gross. It is sweet and tastes more like Campbell's condensed tomatoe soup than pizza sauce. There was hardly any topping on the pizza. What was there, looked like cheap deli meat. Dough was tough. Wish I had taken photos! We will never go there again. Wasted over $50.00 for a pizza that was worse than a $5.00 frozen pizza. Do not believe the hype! Go to any other pizza joint. It will be cheaper and it won't be an assault on your taste buds! read more

Not the quickest delivery service. I am now waiting an hour and 15 minutes. Confirmation email said an hour. I waited over an hour the last time I ordered from you. I will definitely be searching for a new place to order from. read more

This review covers a bad experience with santa lucia pizza on st mary ave who I have given a lot of business over the years and skip the dishes who have made a ton of money During covid and still ripped me off! I placed an order late on june 17 with the usual skip the dishes app for $53.00 worth of food from santa lucia. They confirmed my order took my money and I got a text later stating my order was "on the way" one thing different was the skip app said santa lucia does their own deliveries. Well no food cane and when I called the restaurant they were closed . I called santa lucia the next day and when I asked why i never got my order all the guy said was call skip. When I pointed out that they do their own delivery he still just said call skip and wouldnt even check to see if the food went out or what happened!! I emailed skip with details order number and refund request and after no response after 2 days I found their live chat and was told no refund as I was past their complaint deadline!!! live chat and was told read more

Santa Lucia Pizza - Carrot Cake Cheesecake - Italian Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Santa Lucia is a famous place in Winnipeg for their Greek and Italian food. Sure many people have sworn that Gondola serves the best pizza in the Peg but I must contend the Santa Lucia special is one serious contender. It's been ages since I've had a pizza in a restaurant that has been this delicious. We came here for a family dinner so a we ordered family style and shared a bunch of different plates. Firstly the fact that they had Anchor Steam in bottles was a pleasant surprise. A nice crisp beer to wet up the throat so that food can slide down to the tummy nicely! We ordered the calimari as an appetizer and it was the one negative of the meal. Extremely salty and tasted like it came out of the Costco freezer section. Come on, for a Restaurant serving Greek food you can do much better! Next the Greek salad was definitely on point. Fresh, lots of feta, olives and a fantastic dressing. This was more like it! Then the Santa Lucia pizza which was so flavourful and tasty with a high quality cheese and loaded with toppings. The final dish was the layered lasagna which was ridiculously one of the tastiest lasagnas I've had in a restaurant ever. Meaty, cheesy, a rich sauce. The pizza and lasagna were so good I still think about both! That's how you know a superb meal from a sub par one. Service was okay, not amazing but not bad. The food other than the calimari was nothing short of superb. Thanks, a great meal! This place gets busy on weekend nights. Come early or be prepared to wait. read more

This is a good family restaurant as the price is very reasonable and the portion sizes are huge. The food is mostly Italian/Greek/comfort foods ranging from chicken souvlaki, pizzas, fried chicken, and pastas. The renovated restaurant looks really nice and inside even though I find the exterior a bit gawdy. The interior is light and airy with lots of Mediterranean touches. There's no reservations on Fridays/Sat/Sun so if you are a big party, arrive before 6 pm and it should be okay or a slight wait. The food here is heavy and carby but surprisingly not heavily salted. It seems like they are more heavy handed with the butter, cream and oils than salt. This is not my type of food as I find the food to be too heavy, bland, and way too big in portion size. But I can see why many people like this place as it does provide "value" - this is a successful local chain after all. 4 piece fried chicken dinner ($9.95) served with fries, coleslaw, and garlic toast. The 3 piece dinner is $8.55 so for $1.40 more, you get an extra piece of chicken - well worth it to up size in this case. The chicken was decently moist and the renowned Mediterranean breading is pretty tasty. Chicken a la Parmigiana ($14.95) hand breaded chicken breast covered with homemade marinara sauce, baked parmigian and mozzarella cheeses. Served with fettuccini alfredo, garlic toast and a Caesar salad. You get a pretty generous portion of caesar salad to start with - great croutons, very creamy dressing with good flavour and the romaine lettuce was pretty crisp. A good salad overall. The chicken parmigiana was a bit bland - just tasted like cheese and sauce but that's pretty typical of this dish. The fettuccini alfredo was just pure fat on pasta - no flavour at all. The lunch offering is fast and pretty inexpensive. The lunch chicken souvlaki is one skewer of chicken with a big portion of Greek salad and garlic toast ($9.95). I find their garlic bread way too doughy and too carby. But their Greek salad is delicious! Great tangy dressing with TONS of feta! The chicken souvlaki is moist and has a strong oregano flavour. I'd say this is the lightest tasting item on the menu even though it's probably full of fat and calories! LOL. Santa Lucia pizza has pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers. A good all around pizza. There is a lot of cheese and toppings on it - not my kinda pizza but it fills you up. They have a Wednesday wing special - I've tried it before, it's okay, nothing special as I'd opt for other more famous wing places in the city. Service is mediocre - the hostess is in high school and not that engaged in her job but nice enough. The server is really there to take your order and bring you your food - nothing more and nothing less. So decent service at this price level. Plenty of parking in the front and behind the restaurant. read more

Mike. I've been going to your restaurant since your Dad opened it. As of late I am not impressed with your prices. They have steadily gone up monthly. I paid $25.00 which includes delivery for a Greek Salad and chicken. That's absolutely ridiculous. I've compared prices with other restaurants and until you start respecting your long-time customers and lower your prices, i won't be ordering from you anymore. read more

I decided to order from Santa Lucia for my dad's 90th birthday. We ordered the Mediterranean and the MonteNegro and were so disappointed when we took a bite and tasted nothing but salt. I had guests spitting the pizza out and one guest saying that the inside of her mouth was raw from the saltiness. The artichokes on the Mediterranean were full of vinegar when bitten into. I tried to enjoy the rest of the evening and get out some extra food for my guests. I decided to submit a complaint to Santa Lucia the next day through their website. I never heard back from them and decided to call Saturday. When I called, I was disappointed further because they said they never received my complaint and that they've never received complaints about the pizza before and couldn't do anything to resolve the issue. I felt very upset by this, especially when the pizza ruined the birthday party - that's all guests could talk about. When I pushed the issue further, they told me that I would need to bring in, or they would send a driver to pick up, whatever was left of the pizza and then they could reimburse me. I was also told that I should've called Wednesday evening if I wanted anything to be resolved. I didn't have any of the pizza left because either guests had taken a bite and left it, or I threw the rest out. I was appalled that they would ask me to send any remaining product back in order to have the issue resolved, especially 3 days after I submitted a complaint. I felt I was being treated like a liar. I was yelled at on the phone and told that the way I handled this complaint was wrong, all the while I was being kind and just wanting some sort of compensation for the pizzas. read more

Nice establishment. Server was friendly and helpful. We shared the house 13" specialty pizza. Way more than the 2 of us could eat. Toppings were tasty but I found the crust tough. Pizza wasn't as hot as it could have been. Still, it was a good dining experience and will likely return. read more

I've had take out from Santa Lucia every 4-6 months over the last 4 years, hoping they could figure out how to make a consistent pizza. The majority of the time they screw up the toppings and actually forget to add sauce; I don't mean they're cheap with the sauce, they just outright forget to add any. It takes a special kind of stupid to forget sauce so consistently. Asking for extra sauce still results in no-sauce pizzas, so there's really no potential for improvement. Pasta and chicken dishes are worse than cheap frozen dinners. There's no point in trying to complain because the manager is disrespectful and has no idea what customer service means. I know Santa Lucia has several locations in Winnipeg, but if one is terrible, best to avoid the others. There are too many better pizza places in town, so don't waste your money at Santa Lucia. read more

My wife and family have been huge supporters of these Pizza makers for several years now. They have delivered as promised and the Pizza has been a decent product. Recently, however, we did get our two common order pizza's delivered on time to our hungry family and found both were burnt. As we were hungry, we ate the top's off the two pizza's and didn't call Santa L. right away. When I did call the same number we order from I was told that we should have called immediately and that there is nothing they can do. They're probably right, I should have called right away. I would think that all the pizza's and various other items that we've ordered from them should translate to some reciprocal loyalty, evidently not. read more

Delicious! The pizza, the salads, the cheese bread! Make sure your super hungry; the portions are generous! Love this place.

The food is amazing.....usually. Unfortunately after receiving a brown and soggy salad for delivery I sent an email to notify them of my experience. The reply said I would be contacted within 2 days......3 weeks later and a reminder email later, I still haven't heard back. I don't usually complain but I definitely don't like paying for inedible food. Disappointed. read more

Last Friday I came here for the second time, and they more than remedied the slightly subpar service I had last month. Our server was a slightly stoic bald individual named Ken, that appeared to take serving very seriously. Normally I get nervous when servers do not write down what I order as I usually make it overly complex and i start getting afraid they'll mess it up, but his exuded confidence stayed my concerns. When the food arrived it was all correct, delicious and in the correct order. For an appetizer we ordered pita and tzatzaki and it was extremely refreshing. The pita was slightly warmed up just enough to make it feel fresh. When dipped in the sauce, it served as the perfect light cleansing of the tastebuds before the the real food arrived. Ken had recommended the spinach cheese dip, which may have been another acceptable option. I ordered the ravioli, which I personally thought was slightly bland and dry, if not extremely filling. It was still much tastier than anything I could whip up in my pathetic excuse for a kitchen. It has an exceptional amount of cheese and actually requires effort when lifting. You'll notice I am speaking in the present tense because 3/4 of it is still in the fridge. I probably wouldn't get it again, and just go with a pizza, just because it was so much, and pizza tends to keep better. While the food was good, and the service great, the ambiance was even better. They've recently renovated and gone with a traditional Mediterranean theme that really suits the menu perfectly. In conclusion, I felt like had an evening at a much higher class of restaurant than my $50 bill (for 3 people) would reflect, and would recommend anyone in the area check it out. read more

I was on a layover in Winnipeg and called them to order an all-dressed pizza with no pepperoni. About 45 minutes later a nice delivery man arrived and gave me my pizza. A few minutes later I open my pizza ready to eat. Except my pizza had big slices of pepperoni (or salami) on it. Quickly I called Santa Lucia spoke to the same person who took my order and she told me she specifically wrote on my order no pepperoni and she said we would transfer me to the manager. Spoke with the manager and he tried to convince me that the pepperoni that was on my pizza was vegetarian. Pretty lame! I told him they was no way it could be vegetarian and that I ordered a pizza with no pepperoni. He then quickly told me that they would send another one. Another 45minutes later the delivery man came again and this time I checked the pizza in front of him just to make sure. And it had pepperoni again on the new one!!! Unbelievable! Told the delivery man that this pizza had pepperoni and that I will not eat it and to call his manager to let him know. He then told me that in 15-20 minutes they could send me a new pizza. I though about it and then said no to refund me because I was starving, wasted more than 2 hours and I had to get up very early at 4am for my work. He reimbursed me. I told him to tell his boss to respect the fact that some customers don't and will not eat pepperoni/salami and not to lie about it being vegetarian because it was not!!! Will never call them again. Was I didn't like was the fact that I needed to fight a bit with them to show them it had meat on my pizza because they didn't believe me. read more

Santa Lucia Pizza - My all-dressed pizza with no pepperoni. (According to the manager the pepperoni/salami is absolutely vegetarian...) - Italian Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Don't ever order delivery. Seems they get it wrong on purpose. We've ordered from here likely 100 times in the last two years, spending about $60 every other week and they have never. NEVER received the food we paid for. Spoken to manager, spoken to owner, special notes added to the file about double-checking the order, etc.. nothing works. Spent about 20 minutes last night spelling out, confirming, reconfirming, having the menu read back again and again. Promised that the person taking the order would double check... No dice. Got two honey dill instead of honey garlic. No extra gravy that we paid for. Got sour cream instead of ranch. No coleslaw. They're either completely blind or they're messing the order up on purpose to be funny. Missing/wrong dip isn't such a big deal that we don't keep going back, but after the apathetic response from management again today we're absolutely done ordering food from Santa Lucia. read more

Santa Lucia is a large, busy two-storey Restaurant/Pub which serves both greek food and pizza. Despite how great the pizza looked, I decided to go for greek food, as I can't seem to be able to find a plate of Moussaka in Edmonton for less than $20. And the moussaka was a bit heavy, but delicious. I especially enjoyed the subtle seasoning of the ground meat, and the flavours that the potatoes soaked up. And instead of a greek salad, I subsituted a Caesar Salad, which included uniquely shaped and tasting croutons I wonder how they made them, and what kind of bread they used. And the highlight of the meal was Santa Lucia's lemon garlic potatoes, slathered in who knows how much butter. I found the service to be sloppy, but friendly. For instance, salads were served before we actually had silverware. But our server apologized for forgetting the silverware. I look forward to trying the pizza the next time I am in Winnipeg. read more

I've been here a couple of times and had no complaints at all. Their food is great and the price was on par with similar restaurants. If you're a pizza lover, this is definitely a place to try! Their pizzas are top-notch. I haven't tried their other entrées yet, but from what I've seen on other people's tables, it all looks delicious! read more

Came to Santa Luica several months ago with my nursing clinical group. Service was excellent. I ordered to share, the spicy santa fe pizza, along with a pound of wings tossed in electric honey sauce. The wings were pretty good, and I loved the sauce! If I remember correctly, the electric honey was a mix of honey and lemon juice. The pizza was also good, except that for something that is called spicy santa fe, it wasn't spicy at all. Other than that, it was a pretty good meal, and everyone else at the table also enjoyed their food. read more

I have a date night weekly with my honey and we'd been hearing quite a bit about this Santa Lucia Pizza place...finally went for a bite last week: long story short, GET THE PIZZA! It was delicious and amazing but everything else was mediocre. The salad OK, the Greek cuisine OK, the drinks came from a CAN, and our waiter was brief and cold mannered, I guess he wasn't used to table service after 8pm (dining room open til 10 mind you) on a Monday and thought we should've gone to the noisy bar (rude). read more

I was very impressed with the calamari, ambience is great too! However, the service was very poor. They forgot my order, and our server did not acknowledge one of my friend's pizza, served way too salty. My pizza was also on the salty side, and tasted like frozen Chuck-E-Cheese leftovers. Another guest at my table did not enjoy her pizza, another found the gyro bland, and ultimately the two individuals who never got their pizza replaced didn't eat at all. The manager, eventually, offered to take half off the pizza (which was very unprofessional) and after complaining again he took it off the check. We won't be coming back. read more

Was visiting family in Winnipeg a couple weekends ago and they took me to Santa Lucia for pizza. We sat in the lounge (pretty standard lounge, awful music). The pizza was okay. I wouldn't recommend the "Santa Lucia Special", there's certainly nothing special about it. Didn't catch our servers name, blonde, had some great artwork on her arms. The service was outstanding. Really seemed to care that we were having a good experience, I was impressed. I'd go back based on that, good service is hard to find these days read more

Well ordered pizza for delivery from the Pembina Hwy location , had delivery from there for years . Driver walked in plunked pizza down and I paid bill with 15% tip. Opened 2 pizzas 2 minutes later and they are totally destroyed all mashed up at one end of the box. one slice piled on the other , just a total friggin mess . Phoned , manager wouldn't talk to me just relayed we will replace them . That was not the point why do you hire such incompetent drivers , woman who delivered was was totally clued out . I was not going to wait another hour for a second disaster to arrive . You are better off not spending 60 -70 bucks for the crap they deliver . read more

Finally made it here after they reopened, nice decor we went it in with a group of 4. The pita with tzatziki sauce was good, but the pizza was even better.
