Pizza Lucé

Consistently awesome pizza! The specialty ones are some of my faves including The Blue Dog with bacon, asparagus, arugula, tomatoes and blue cheese. The baked potato pizza… mashed taters, cheddar cheese, bacon, broccoli and sour cream on the side. The meat lovers of course too. The Caesar salad is one of the best I’ve ever had… I really wish they’d bottle their dressing and sell it. The spinach salad is tasty too. They also have hoagies, chicken wings… the peanut Thai are the bomb and quite a few vegetarian options too including dairy free cheese. The service is friendly. Take out orders are usually ready in 15 minutes. I just wished I lived in one of the Pizza Luce delivery areas.

Great beer selection for happy hour and great food. We’ve always had great service as well.

Nope! Pricy Pizza with less toppings! That’s my first experience with Athena pizza on the menu

We had planned to go to Good Earth, but it was closed for maintenance and repairs until February 1^st. So we checked out the Q. Cumbers hot bar because our daughter wanted mac and cheese, there was no cheese sauce under the label «cheese sauce.» So we traveled a little further from our Rosemount home to go to Pizza Luce. It is one of our 10 year old daughter’s favorite.
We are glad we ended up at Pizza Luce because we had good service and great food.
Our daughter did a throwback to when we were gluten and dairy free and opted for a build-​your-​own pizza with a gluten free crust, because the GF crust is just that good.
I had an order of the bruschetta and a tasty beer off of their decent list of brews on tap. My husband likes to spice it up. He went for the Fire Breathing Dragon pizza with a classic Grain Belt.
We had a sweet finish to our meal with a piece of carrot cake and a gluten and dairy free chocolate Molly bar. Oh so good.
After our search for sustenance, we all went home happy.

You know we’ve been coming to this place long enough I should give Luce’ it’s proper credit. This place is always consistent and they have great vegan and gluten free options. They have a solid menu with lots of great options and a rotating seasonal menu. And if you want to try them out with little commitment, stop in and grab one or two slices at their counter.
Their pizzas are all modern takes. One of my faves is the blue cheese, bacon and asparagus. My wife loves the baked potato pizza… it tastes just like it sounds.
And I have to give a thanks to Ben who took care of us tonight. This particular Luce’ has one of the most consistently friendly and professional staffs around.
My one ask Luce’- consider getting another gluten free beer or two. May I suggest something from the local brewery Burning Brothers?
Oh, and their Caesar salad. I forgot the Caesar salad. It’s good. Get it. Then you will smile.

We were here with a large groups of friends who mostly wanted to sit and chat for the evening. Because of that, this was probably not the best place for us. The noise level was quite high and constant and there was a continuous bustle of staff and people. We need to pick a better place for what we want next time. But is that the fault of the restaurant? Probably not.
The pizza was great. The crust crisp with the right amount of chew. The sause, flavorful but not overpowering the other toppings. A healthy amount of cheese and meats. They use good quality ingredients
The have a good beer list that includes several local craft beer options on tap. I appreciate that they support the local beer scene and like several of them so that is much appreciated.
The service was attentive, she was friendly, she kept our drink orders straight, took reorders regularly, and did not seem to mind our casual pace.
Overall, with a smaller group this would have been a better experience. Again, that was more on us.

Pizza Luce! One of my favorite order + sit down pizza places in the twin cities. The pizza is really good here! They got lots of options and each option I’ve tried have been spectacular! They serve a variety of pizzas, pastas, salads, and more here! So if pizza ain’t your thing, you can try their other stuff. I personally haven’t tried it, so I won’t be getting to that much.
They have a variety of appetizers: My favorites are the Artichoke dip and the garlic cheese toast. They give a decent amount… enough for 3 people to have 2 – 3 servings.
So basically, you can either build your own pizza or order one of their speciality pizzas. I recommend getting the specialty pizza, especially if it’s your first time here. I’ve tried the Pizza Athena, which is a solid all-​around option. comes with spinach, tomato, olives, artichoke hearts, oregano, red onions, and some other toppings as well. It’s really good! This is coming from one that is not a fan of olives or artichoke hearts!
I’ve also tried the bear. which is like their meat-​lovers option… This is for carnivores! It has a variety of meats like chicken, beef, canadian bacon, pepperoni, and sausage! Pretty good, especially if you love meat!
The last one I’ve tried is the Wild Mushroom and Arugula. This one is a good one as well. It comes mushrooms various mushrooms like crimini, oyster, portabella, and shiitake! Yum for mushroom lovers.
I’ve also heard great things about the baked potato pizza, but have yet tried it. I guess I’ll need to try it next time!
Lastly, pizza portions! Pizza Lucé’s pizza is pretty thin. If I don’t order an appetizer, my and my friend can finish a large pizza and still feel a little hungry. If you’re coming with 3 hungry people, I recommend ordering an appetizer with a large pizza. That’ll get you guys full for sure!

At this point almost everyone in the Twin Cities has a neighborhood Pizza Luce and Richfield is ours. The whole family likes our Pizza Luce. We always get great service, the food is good and I like the great beer selection that is dominated by craft and local brews (which are a great deal on happy hour). The outdoor patio is a great option in the warmer months, it is nicely blocked from the busy street traffic and has good shade. I love Luce for the variety of pizzas they offer, it seems like every time we go there is a pizza we haven’t tried. We typically go with pizza but on our most recent trip we were craving chicken wings which were amazing.

I went to this pizza location for the first time on Sunday for brunch. The place was clean, the parking was easy and the service was great. We were greeting right away and given water. Our food came out quick and you could tell the chef took time to make sure the presentation was nice. I got the gluten free/​vegan tomato florentine and it was delicious!

New Yorkers rave about the inherent superiority of their bagels. What is Minneapolis’ culinary triumph? Yes, I have already gone on record praising its Vietnamese fare. Though, excellent phở can be found in places like Seattle, San Francisco, and Vancouver.
I won’t make you wait or guess. Minneapolis has superb lactose and gluten free pizza options for omnivores and carnivores.
Most pizza venues with vegan cheese options assume that one is a vegetarian; gluten free people are assumed to be adhering to a paleo diet.
I opted for the bear with both kinds of vegan/​dairy free cheeses on a 10 inch gluten free crust. The rest of my family had some combination of the wrangler and mashed potato pizzas. This was my first time having takeout from the Richfield location. I found it to be consistent overall.
I daresay that Pizza Luce is a required eating venue for me during my MN visits.

Food and service was good. Can’t complain, but memorable… I think not. I wish they would start trying selling different more unique kinds of pizza.

Margherita pizza shouldn’t be so spicy you can’t eat it. Our server explained that it had «a touch» of cayenne in the sauce. More like a bucket of cayenne. I asked for a slice of cheese pizza instead, which was from under a heat lamp, and really flavorless. The service, though, was excellent.

Best «make your own» Bloody Mary’s & Salmon Eggs Benedict anywhere!
The weekend brunches here are spectacular… where else in Richfield are you going to find Apple Quinoa pancakes?
I only wish they were open weekdays too.

We love coming here to build our own vegan pizza. The 5 stars are specifically for the delicious pizza we had on 9÷11÷15 and the friendly and prompt service from Kelly in the bar area. Kelly was super friendly and knowledgeable about the vegan menu options which we greatly appreciated after bad experiences with two different female servers the last two times we dined at this location. Those other times my dining companion noticed one roll her eyes at me while I looked down at the menu to ask a question (she didn’t realize he was looking at her) and another time a server seemed really «put out» by a simple question about one of the toppings. Both times it was not busy in the restaurant, but it was late and perhaps the servers had a long night (trying to give them the benefit of the doubt). As I know we will definitely be going back, I hope we get Kelly or another friendly server rather than those rude ones.

Pizza is great! Happy hour is awesome. The bartenders are there for you. They work hard and are friendly. It’s nice to get a slice of pizza late at night. The patrons are always friendly.
My gal and I got a bunch of local art prints for our home and noticed Pizza Luca has a bunch of her work. So, I have to say the ambience is cool as well.

I met a group here and it was a good day for the patio. It’s a popular. The waiter was great and people came by to clear empty plates often. I’m the clean up woman and tend to gather and stack plates up. We all shared the appetizer sampler, the flatbread appetizer, and the athena pizza. I love the artichoke dip and the bread that goes with it. I actually liked the appetizer pizza better than the Athena. I tried the watermelon spritzer drink and it was weird, but someone else really liked it. They give you your choice of a refill on a soft drink and I got iced tea. They have sugar in the raw. I love the size and the parking lot too. It may be the place to see and be seen in Richfield.

If you need a place that caters to vegans, carnivores, and everyone in-​between, man, you have to go here! The food was INSANE. Everyone enjoyed their meaty delights, but my sister and I gained five pounds of vegetable matter in this joint.
We ordered the vegan nuggets (on the summer menu) and that comes with BBQ or Buffalo sauce. They were so good my meaty dad raved over them! My toddler loved them too sans the sauce. We also got the vegan meatballs with their house cheez made from cashews and tofu. So much good.
I had the Mock Muffuletta and it was damned tasty. they also had a kids menu with vegan options on it, say what? That baby of mine feasted on the spaghetti.
We are going to come here EVERY TIME WE COME HOME FROM NOW ON. I will wear my sweatpants too.
So, are you vegan? vegetarian? Gluten free? You got kids? You don’t care about any of that and you want to eat bear on your pizza? THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!

This Pizza Luce is rock solid. They have a full bar with different nightly specials, Tuesday $ 3.50 taps and Thursday $ 4 Whiskey are probably my favorite. The patio and bar both have ample seating, once side of the bar actually opens up to the patio if it’s nice out. It does get busy so be prepared to wait, however because of the nice sized bar it’s usually feasible to belly up if your patient. Food has always been consistent with other Pizza Luce locations so you know what you’re getting. I prefer The Boss or Santa Fe Chicken, nice thing is you can split any pizza if you can’t settle on one. Parking can be a challenge too, especially in the winter. They have a decent lot but it seems like every visit I have to make a lap to find a spot. Altogether this is a reliable option and I’m glad there is one on the south side of town.

We love Pizza Luce and have ordered takeout, had brunch, and even our son’s first birthday party here. The birthday party was what gave this 5 stars. we had a few tables reserved and our service was excellent — very accommodating to our party of about 20, attentive and really friendly.
Food is wonderful. We are fans of the Luce, Ruby Rae and Athena pizzas. Brunch was really good too — lots of variety, a make your own bloody Mary bar, and a variety of mimosas. Love that there’s free and ample parking, and a graet beer selection too. Also one of the few places in the Cities to offer pizza by the slice. You can’t lose here!

I wanted to give more, I did. The good, my server had heart but I think he was too busy. The gluten free crust was great! Done, crispy! The pizza portion of my pizza was not however. I understand I pay more for a GF crust and get a 10″ pie, but half of my pizza had no cheese on it. The half that did tasted great. I was never served water.

Order here all the time.
The quality is less than the one in Saint Paul. The wait staff are ok. The take out orders so far are 90% wrong. Double check what you order because quality control means little here. Double check your bill too… I have had them double charge me twice and also over charge me 3 times.
I ordered on my wedding day as a treat for everyone late in the night. Pricey… Which is okay… If the quality was as good as Saint Paul or down town MPLS…
The Katerina focaccia is amazing however. I crave it. Has the right amount of pesto and tomatoes. Great sipping sauce.
Sitting on the patio is nice but non of the servers like working out there. It must be far from everything.
I want to give it a 5 star because of the other locations. But just cannot. This specific location in Richfield does not deserve it.

I love Pizza Luce… I love it just SO MUCH.
Although you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, the pizzas are my all time favorite. They are always fresh with the right amount of sauce, cheese and toppings, every time. Speaking of toppings, you can get pretty much anything on your pizza. There are specialties like Baked Potato, Ruby Rae, and Shrimp al Pesto, or you can build your own.
I am a bit of a nutjob when it comes to crust. If there is too much or I don’t like it, I will not eat it. But at Pizza Luce, they have me covered! The crust has a fantastic texture of being chewy and tender and is perfectly proportionate to the toppings. I can eat the whole slice (read: several slices) without feeling bloated with crust.
The ambiance is cool and casual. The staff are friendly, helpful, and very patient (which is very important when you can’t decide what you want to stuff into your face).
I wish I were in MN right now to eat. Even though it’s stupid-​cold outside.

This is my fave Pizza Luce’ even though its on the wrong side of the river. I like the privacy of the booths and the size of the place. Its much bigger than others and parking is so much easier than the uptown or Selby Avenue one. What I don’t like is where the bathrooms are. They are in the basement and it just seems weird.
Other than the bathroom placement, the service and food is spot on. I have been here three times and each time, the servers were friendly and seemed happy to be working.
What I like here is the Bruschetta. Love it so much! Always get extra bread for a dollar extra! I also like the garlic cheese bread and the tuna salad. That is what I eat here! I know, I may be in the minority when I say I don’t think the zza is that great but I am addicted to the salads and bruschetta! Ci likes the pasta and my picky picky niece even liked the red sauce.
Its a great place for vegans and those with gluten issues.
I think I need to get some bruschetta delivered now; I want some!
