Pizza Luce

06/12/2008 Posted by JenniferIrene

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,

I feel bad because Luce has been a favorite of mine for years. I always order delievery and up until the last few times I placed an order, things went along OK. Not the fastest or the best food in town, but food you can get at 2am. I consider myself a reasonable and polite person (and as a person also in the service industry, a little more understanding of the ebbs and flows of customer service) HOWEVER, the last 2 times I have ordered from this location, I have received, what I believe, to be the worst customer service ever (and in 12 years of waitressing, that says a lot). The first time they said 45 minutes to an hour. That's cool. After 90 minutes, I called and was told (very rudely) by the woman who answered the phone that "it's on its way!" No "I'm sorry" or anything. Hey, I get it. Sometimes things happen but an apology would have been nice, as I was politely asking about my food that I had ordered and hour and a haf prior. The second time, ANOTHER 90 minutes went by and when I called about THIS ONE, i was (again) rudely told that "The driver tried calling you but you didn't answer." When I asked why the driver didn't ring my DOORBELL (as a delievery person SHOULD) he said that since it was a duplex, he "didn't have time to sit there and ring doorbells." Well, it IS a duplex but the addresses are different for each unit, which Luce knows since I've told them this. He then proceeded to argue with me and then hung up on me. Anyway, I finally got my food and the manager DID comp it, however I will never order from this place again. Seriously, people. It's pizza. It's not that hard. And rudeness is NEVER ok, especially to someone who's nice about it. For mediocre pizza and crappy service, I'll go somewhere. Dulono's and Galatic have much better food anyway. Sorry Luce, but you worked my last nerve:(

Pros: late night delievery

Cons: customer service, very inaccurate delievery quote times, mostly customer service!

I often feel like customer service is dead, but Pizza Luce is proof that it still can be found. The servers don't seem like they are offended if you don't order a bottle of wine or cluck when you share an entree with your husband. The vibe is fun...like a neighborhood block party. It is kid friendly. The service and food is so good that a few babies crying doesn't even peeve me. The mashed potato pizza is fabulous. It had me eating broccoli on pizza and liking it!

Pros: great service, great food, great location, great vibe

Cons: nada

i've ordered the baked potatoe pizza...SO GOOD!!! i also ordered the spinach and artichoke dip - i wasnt crazy about it, it was really garlicky.

i keep finding it funny, that this place keeps getting written up as one of the best places to get pizza in the cities. there's nothing (food wise) fancy about the pizzas. the service is also 50/50. mind you they too have their own style and flare. i have to say i dig chicks with tattoos up and down their arms. no need for a doggy bag, reheating your over-priced za at home is a bland disappointment.

They have the best pizza I've ever had. The staff is great and the service fast. Seating capacity is a bit small, but it works.

Pros: Great food

Cons: Small

I love Pizza Luce. This location is nice because there is a small parking lot, but plenty of street parking, unlike the downtown location. The dining room is nice and there are able to accomodate large parties. I would call to give them a heads up if you are going with a group. For late night dining, they offer about 4 different varieties of pizza by the slice.

Pros: Delicious, Late night, staff

Cons: waiting

I love this place! I was just there after the remodeling and it looks great. It doesn't look too different, but the bathrooms are so much better! It's still cozy and the menu hasn't changed. The artichoke ramekin is my absolute favorite. I love the unique pizza choices and cheap prices. And they deliver!

Pros: Good Food, Cheap, Delivery

Not bad, but not good either. Would not recommend over some of the other Uptown Pizza joints for delivery. Just OK.

Just wish they'd deliver to my neighborhood. That's the big drawback to Pizza Luce for me is I live out of their zone. The bianca sauce (oil olive and garlic) is a nice change from red sauce. Order the biance with chicken, mushrooms and sausage and you'll think you died and gone to heaven. The ceasar salad is nice and garlicy, pretty decent garlic cheese bread too. The pastas are nice and the meat sauces are very flavorful. They have a good selection of vegitarian options too along with cheese substitutes. They have something for everyone.

Pros: Biance sauce, parking, Inexpensive
