    I couldn't even get a photo before we dived into these pretzel bites
    Dianna S.

    Food was so good! We did the veggie pizza and the pretzel bites and everything was a hit. So much flavor. Service was meh. Everyone around us had to ask for refills. It wasn't terribly busy. Music was really loud and annoying.

    Pepperoni pizza with feta personal size

    Great local spot for pizza and live music. They also host various other events like trivia. We stopped in on a Saturday for lunch as my dad liked the local band performing. We got the loaded pretzel bites and a personal sized pizza with pepperoni and feta. I love that they have personal sized pizza options so everyone can get something they like. Food was good and it is a cool location being in an old train depot.

    We were happily greeted when we entered and were seated right away. Loved the open atmosphere of the place. We ordered a couple of beers, as well as, an appetizer and a small pizza. Our waitress returned a few minutes later to let us know that they were out of the appetizer we had ordered. She suggested another one which was very good! The pizza was really tasty, too. When our beverages were looking low we were approached and asked if we wanted another. Our waitress checked in on us during our stay. We ended our visit with some delicious desserts! This is a nice mellow place to enjoy a meal and good beer! Order a few crowlers before you leave! We will be back again!

    Best pizza in the tri state area. Been going here for years and they haven't changed a thing about the quality of their pizzas (which is exactly how it should be)

    Just came in for a beer and snack. Our group got the stuffed mushrooms, loaded pretzel and a personal pan pizza. The mushrooms were delicious with some taste of garlic. Loaded pretzel was good too but like mushrooms more. Personal pan even though small was perfect! I washed it down with a craft beer. Come give them a try.

    Excellent service, a creative menu and a good selection of beverages. The reuben appetizer was even better than the calzone, which was excellent! Give this place a try!

    Hands down, some of the best customer service I've had for a large party. I reached out to Deb via email about hosting my daughter soccer team for a team family dinner on a Friday evening. She responded to my request in less than 24 hours. She was very kind and helpful. She graciously gave me time to gather final numbers and call her back about 3 days before the event. We had 40 people, choose to do the salad, pizza, and soda option. They also were able to accommodate with Gluten Free pizzas too! We asked for food to be ready and served right at 7pm and they were set up and right on time!! We had one other server Shana helping. Both Deb and her were smiling and cheerful! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this venue to groups of all sizes. The building is a historic train depot and they did a wonderful job keeping the original charm of the building while turning it into a beautiful venue!! Thank you Deb and Steve!!

    Personal pizza with sausage, red peppers, and onions.

    This was a nice stop on a weekday night when I was passing through town. They have live entertainment, which worried me at first, but it turned out delightful- a solo singer/acoustic guitarist with real talent. The personal pizza (I chose sausage, red peppers, onions) was quite tasty. The tomato soup special tasted a bit too much like pizza sauce, which was a little odd (but OK). Staff were very friendly, but unable to properly recommend a smooth tasting beer out of their collection (I'm sure they do better with IPAs).

    Welcome to TPB!

    This place is such a vibe! It's like a eclectic hippie took a Green Mill and made it their own. Came on a Wednesday eve and it was moderately full and a epic mustache guy strumming on a guitar. All the young (good looking) staff were attentive and kind. Seemed clean and family friendly(ish)! There are a few tables outside and did see a couple with a dog. Food came out promptly and was good. Brownie for dessert was just OK. Despite my mediocre brownie - I would recommend and will definitely be visiting again!

    This was some of the best pizza that we've had! The crust was amazing. Loved that the patio was dog friendly as well. Awesome menu with lots of options. Pizza, calzones, a large selection of brews. I liked being able to do a personal pizza with 3 toppings. Their homemade sausage was bomb. We definitely will make this a regular stop when we go up north again!

    Stopped in twice while camping in the area. Place was recommended by my nephew who has played music there a few times. He knows we like quality craft beer and pizza. Man, we were not disappointed! Nice selection of different brews, tasty pizza, breads and salads, friendly capable servers. Unique setting inside and out. Plenty of parking. I treated myself to some merch. Owner Steve there the 2nd time we were in and he was incredibly personable and knowledgeable.

    Cheese bread

    We were in town for Grandma's Marathon and picked this place for our post race dinner. We could not have picked a more perfect place! There was a short wait of 15-20 minutes when our party of four arrived. We went to a bar for a couple beverages while we waited. I ordered the Lawn Chair cream ale and, to be honest, it was one of my least favorite cream ales I've had. Still, any beer is good after a marathon. We were seated within the 15-20 minutes they quoted. We ordered the cheese bread as an appetizer which came with a cup of dipping sauce. I love pizza sauce so that was a great plus. We ordered second beers. This time I had the Dreams of Orange cream ale. Now that one was a wonderful cream ale! Then we all ordered pizzas. Husband and son split a large pizza. The waitress warned them that it was very big and I told her that we'd just run a marathon. She said even so she didn't think they could eat it all. Darned if she wasn't right! It was the thickest, most topping filled pizza I have ever seen! Granted it was not cheap at $42 but they loved it and did have leftovers. Son's girlfriend ordered a 10 inch pizza and I ordered a gluten free spinach and feta. Mine was fabulous, especially for a gluten free and also came with delicious dipping sauce! It was the perfect post race meal! I highly recommend it if you're hungry and like beer and pizza.

    Deep dish Chicago style pizza and decent service. The Orange Cream Brew was AMAZING. Nice to avoid Duluth's high taxes.

    At the end of our trip around Lake Superior we had to spend an additional night in Duluth after our…read moreplane had maintenance issues. We were put up downtown and the front desk person recommended Pizza Lucé, a 2 block walk from our hotel. I ordered the Mostaccioli - baked pasta with their signature red sauce with plenty of Romano and Parmesan Cheese and added their meatballs (Beef and Pork), served with 2 pieces of their cheese bread. We also ordered a large Caesar Salad (complete with Anchovies - which my wife loved). The food was delicious - such a rich and flavorful sauce, with a bit of a spicy bite. Wish we were in town longer so we could try one of their very unique pizzas. It was late at night (after 8PM due to our flight challenges) and there were several other patrons who came in after us. We also loved the original paintings that were mounted on the walls throughout the dining room. Would definitely recommend Pizza Luce to anyone looking for tasty Italian food (or pizza).

    I am super grateful that Pizza Lucé serves late night food! I was finishing up a job at a nearby…read morehospital after hours and was dreading having to get McDonald's for dinner. The bar area is such a vibe! Red lighting fills the area, and it seems like there is a stage for shows when it gets busy. On Monday they have a deal on their taps, but their website is good at detailing what deals are happening in what days! Hugo (I think his name was Hugo) was attentive and great! My meatball parmigiana hoagie was pretty decent! I will say it was the end of the night so the bread was a little bit hard. But as I ate the sandwich, sauce soaked in the bread more which softened it up. The potato chips were good too. The meatballs themselves were really good. I also loved the amount of cheese on the sandwich! Their menu is soooo extensive though. I want to try so many things on here. My glass of Pinot Grigio was $12.50. I also Ordered a seltzer that was on draft that ended up being $5 because of their Monday deal. I would absolutely be a regular here if I lived in the area.
