In Short – Located at the epicenter of Minneapolis' trendy Warehouse District, Pizza Luce is a favorite with the neighborhood's young, savvy singles. This wildly popular restaurant is a hybrid--it's a crowded, noisy bar scene on weekends and a low-key family friendly pizza joint during the week. Sure, you can get an ordinary pepperoni or sausage pie, but why would you, with the menu's variety of out-there choices include baked potato pizza and pizza Florentine?

Never go wrong

by Dropper at Citysearch

Seriously, the only con I can think of is that parking can be tight. And it's not all that bad. Great place for bringing the family or hitting after you leave the bar.

Everything tastes great, the staff is friendly and professional. I don't know anyone who hasn't been here, but if you haven't it's a must try.

  • Pros: consistant quality, hours
  • Cons: parking
1 Star Rating: Poor

Adventurous...the good and the bad.

by DrinkJustice at Citysearch

The Drink:

For myself as well as many unnamed others food is best consumed only with the finest drink available. Pizza Luce offers a suitable if not adequate selection of beers and wine(no liquor). Catering to the local flavor

Surly Furious and sometimes other Surly beers seem readily available, recently I have seen Rush River and my mid-west standby Bell's on tap. $4.50-$5+ a pint

The wine list offers a variety of small and big house wines at $6-$8 dollars a glass.

The Eats:

It's not often that your able to find a truly great piece of pizza and when purchasing by the slice even less likely.

Americans know as pizza lovers that pie shops all around the country have gone through pains and decades (if not generations) of evolution to perfect the art, unfortunately Pizza Luce applies neither the strategies or apparently the desire.

That being stated, how can you really expect a concept pizza (potato bacon,mac and cheese) to be above average when your basic pizza (pepperoni/cheese) is made sub par at best.

Essentially my advice when going to Pizza Luce is to go for their happy hour where you can get a pint of good beer along with a slice of pizza for $5.36. To my dismay at $4-$5 a slice (during normal hours) one might be just as well off with a decent frozen pizza and could easily make a pie themselves with more promise. All of the awards and proclamations issued to Pizza Luce by local publications really leaves me wondering if hype makes all the difference in these twin cities.

  • Pros: Diverse
  • Cons: Where is the passion?

Best Vegetarian Pizza Options

by JenniferIrene at Citysearch

I love Pizza Luce because they have many interesting vegetarian options for pizza that is not the run of the mill veggie pizza. Barbeque sauce and mock dock, fakin bacon, pineapple. I love it! However their beer selections are not that good. The only real thing that is worth getting is their signature pizzas, their sandwiches and other entrees can be found anywhere else. The artichoke dip is super good as well-better than most. They have many locations that are convenient Lyndale S, Downtown, and Franklin Ave. in Mpls. Selby Ave. in St.Paul and they have one in Duluth as well. If you like Galactic Pizza you will also love Pizza Luce. Service is fine.

  • Pros: Convienent locations, interesting specialty pizza choices, vegetarian friendly
  • Cons: beer choices are limited, parking can be an issue,
