Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/21/2010 - Perfect for after clubsI go there every time I am in downtown. Great pizza, convenient location, friendly staff. What more could you ask for?
Read More On Citysearch shabushabuwasabi 1/16/2010 - Best Pizza in Twin Cities!We have eaten several times at this location with no problems what so ever. Recently they started delivering to my area, and let me tell you we have ordered 5 times already in the last month! All of the deliveries we've had have been awesome, food hot & delicious...If they deliver to your area I don't know why you would ever go with anyone else.
Read More On Citysearch acesovereights 11/19/2009 - Tasteless pizza!!!I feel sorry for all the people who say Pizza Luce is the best pizza they have ever eaten. The only thing the place has going for it is that everyone thinks it is cool to eat there, otherwise it would be out of business.

I don't recomend this place ...

The "Owner" just told me so...I ordered for delivery at 1:20 am to my apartment, at 2:30am I called back to 612-333-7359 to inquire on my order....without any hesitation, the man who answered put me on hold and another man picked up and told me "Don't EVER order from us again, I f@cken hate you"...."I will never deliver to you again"! and yada, yada, yada....I just sat there with the (my cell phone) on my ear and tried to int...

This place if pretty urban, if you will. Think lot's of urban people and not the good kind. Additionally, I find this pie over rated and expensive. I like that they have the quick serve/by the slice area. It's great for the afterbar. Bring cash bc you have to buy a ticket from security. If you have a credit card, they give attitude. Service is EXTREMELY random. Some employees are fantastic and so...
Read More On Citysearch hage0269 1/29/2009 - Comfort FoodLiving on a diet consisting 3/4 of pizza, I declare Pizza Luce to be the 'comfort food' of pizzas. Warm and filling with a variety of toppings to suit your craving, even mashed potato. They even come in pretty boxes.
Read More On Citysearch PorcelainKettle 11/18/2008 - I loved it!My boss's husband brought us some of this pizza when we were in town for a convention, and I have to get it every time I'm there. I must say I've never actually gone to the restaurant - I always have it delivered to the hotel. So I can only speak for the taste!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 11/8/2008 - Unbelievable food!Over 50 toppings (we counted), hand tossed dough and a great beer selection. We came down on an early Sunday and to our amazement they even do BRUNCH! It was awesome, try the Portobella Benedict. Anyone who doesn't like Pizza Luce is anti good food.

Why would you watse your time at a pizza joint like this when there are so many other options in the Cities?
Read More On Citysearch rayptacek 7/5/2008 - PIZZA LUCE= Amazing pizza, great service, and fun family friendly atmosphere!!!Luce is the filet mingon of all pizza restaurants. I have been a fan of the locally owned restaurant for years and have yet to have one bad thing to say. The pizza and appetizers are great along with a really good wine list. Very resonabley priced and fun atmosphere...
...lets not forget the year ..2008..., folks with tattoos and unique style can be VERY successful and most importantly happy!!...
Read More On Citysearch andiranchero 6/2/2008 - Waaaaay overratedThe tons of hype is one thing this place does not live up to.
I've tried this place a number of times and I just don't see it. The pizza base is where the problems begin for me, and the toppings do it no favours either. Flavourless... If you want pizza in this town go to the Monte Carlo and have their flatbread appetizer pizza.
Read More On Citysearch samboo 5/27/2008 - UNDERCOOKED FOOD!RE: Delivery - I ended up with cold soggy undercooked pizza dough with cold veggies and meat toppings. Gross! I had to recook the pizza every time before my family could eat it. I even tried to order "thin" crust. Instead I got thick crust not fully cooked throughout the pizza. The chicken wings have been under cooked, whereas the meat does not come away from the bone. Had to recook also. Serious...
Read More On Citysearch gyrlygamer 5/22/2008 - Overvrowded for what they offerThis place can be really crowded some nights, and tends not to be worth the wait. The pizza is nothing special, and neither are the other dishes they have. A better place to order in from.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/27/2008 - Good pizza, incredibly fastI was trapped at a hotel downtown (I won't mention any names, but it rhymes with um... Barriott?), and they had stopped serving their in-room menu early (why, I don't know).... anyhow, the desk clerk recommended this place, and the pizza was very good. I had the "Luce", which had good flavor. Didn't particularly care for the crust, but the wife did, so maybe I'm just picky. If you have the cho...
Read More On Citysearch seeyaupthere 7/28/2007 - Good Pizza, TERRIBLE service!The pizza is very tasty, but on 2 different occasions, we sat for 15 minutes while being completely ignored before we just got up and left. Nobody made eye contact, nobody said "I'll be right with you, or anything." In fact, the last time (which is coincidentally the last time), the hostess even came by to pick up our menus and we hadn't even gotten a drink yet. I would have been able to let i...
Read More On Citysearch joshp213 6/16/2007 - Same ingredients - different pizza!I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pizza Luce. However...I just want to vent about it for one second. I always order the same pizza: Bianca with sun dried tomatoes and chicken - very light on the cheese and you can let the sun dried tomatoes burn a bit on the top.
(Yes, I am that annoying person!) So I always take a moment to explain how I like it...and the Luce in Uptown has no problem fulfilling my order every...
Read More On Citysearch bpettis 4/23/2007 - OK pizza, service sub par especially at uptown locationThe pizza's so-so. Lame crust, unexciting sauce, but with a wide variety of toppings. Vegan/vegetarian options are a plus. The artichoke dip and desserts are great. The problem is the service. It's barely OK at their downtown and Franklin Ave locations, but the Uptown restaurant's service is consistantly terrible; orders made wrong, rude and absent servers. Truely awful.
Read More On Citysearch alanreed 4/5/2007 - LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!I will highly recommend this place to EVERYBODY! If you're a meat eater, I suggest the Bear Pizza. It has 5 or 6 different kinds of meat and tastes soooooooooo yummy!
Read More On Citysearch jennabradleymn 3/6/2007 - Absolutely fantasticThere is such a variety on the menu....for a variety of people and you can't go wrong with any of it. I don't, however, suggest you request extra feta cheese on the pizza Athena--my boyfriend and I learned our lesson. :-)
Read More On Citysearch vitreoso 11/19/2006 - Love Everything About ItWe never tire of eating here. The downtown location has a great atmosphere and is great for people watching. The spinach artichoke dip is the best anywhere, and the Athena pizza rocks. Be sure to stop by for happy hour when drinks are 1/2 off.
Read More On Citysearch fluffygirl 11/14/2006 - Best Pizza I have ever hadI go to this place quite often and this is the best pizza I have ever eaten.. They have so many varieties. They serve by the slices and it is inexpensive, good quality and very very tasty! Too bad that there isn't a store in saint paul, which is where I live, but I just found out today that they are opening up a store in saint paul on Dec 27 2006.. Yay!!!
Read More On Citysearch rishi22m 11/3/2006 - Great pizza,ON weekends, this place is packed and is more of an adult place to meet people or hangout. But on Weekdays, its a nice family place to get some food. There are dozens of ingredients for your own personalized pizza, or you can order sandwiches and other menu items. Thisis a greatplace for everyone to go
PROS: Happy hour
CONS: none
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 8/22/2006 - Better pizza and location elsewhere.A good tasting pie with excellent sauce. Outside crust is very below average. Plus, underneath the cheese and toppings, the crust is, more often than not, way undercooked. Spendy also. Even so, the cold pasta tuna salad is great. Jalapeno adds a little heat.
Awesome for late night food! Well, sort of. Careful!
Read More On Citysearch c197933 5/26/2006 - Great artichoke dipI always found the pizza here above average, but if you've never had the artichoke dip, it's superb.

the crust was always soggy
Read More On Citysearch tikitty 1/12/2006 - Best Pizza in MinneapolisOf all the pizza restaurants in Minneapolis Pizza Luce is by far the best. The wide assortment of ingredients to choose from gaurantee you will have a memorable Pizza. I reccomend the White Pizza with spinach, red onions, roasted garlic. The Pizza Luce Staff definately put the punk in the Minneapolis Pizza scene and this is a great & inexpensive meal.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 11/2/2005 - Really good pizza shopWhenever pizza comes to over mind we get stuck to one of the chain restaurants but if you are really bored with these chains. Then give a try to Pizza Luce. They have got really delicious pizza. I liked everything in their restaurant like pizza, sandwiches etc. Their topping are really good and fresh. I am sure you will be very satisfied while leaving this restaurant. Prize is quite reasonable.

Read More On Citysearch thecooker 6/6/2005 - Make it stop.The crust here is disgusting. Conveyer-belt crust that is soggy and undercooked. The toppings arent that great either. They used to hand chop fresh ingredients & they dont anymore. There isnt one shining entree on the entire menu. The crowd gets tiring too, since at least half of them are either current or former employees of Luce. And what is with the punk/skate look that is (still!) domina...
Read More On Citysearch cdweller 6/1/2005 - The foods still good, service is getting betterGreat food, good service, and a excellent beer selection for a restaurant. Would recommend for people of all ages. Traveling, going to a ball game or a show, or just downtown They almost always can sqeeze you in somewhere even if they are real busy they do there best to accomidate. Take everyone you know there they are bound to find something they like.
Read More On Citysearch thedood 5/29/2005 - Great First ExperienceI've eaten their food before, but this was the first time in the restaurant, and it was GREAT! I'm a vegetarian, and they are really accomidating, the ffod rocked, great music, great service, KILLER tap beer selection, cool bartenders, and everyone got fed for pretty cheap too.
Read More On Citysearch rockabilly_boy 5/27/2005 - Do NOT order takeout!I've eaten a pizza couple of times at Pizza Luce and I thought it was always above the average, but I ordered takeout once and the pizza was terrible. It tasted worse than pizza hut. Im not going to eat there any time soon.
Read More On Citysearch tulacz 4/21/2005 - AwesomeWhen my sons, one from Portland, Oregon, and the other from Chicago, Illinois, visit Minneapolis, Pizza Luce is always on their list! We rate it the best pizza - from the East Coast to the West Coast!
Read More On Citysearch selma lou paulson 1/21/2005 - Who Delivers 10 times out of 10Pizza Luce does! It is fabulous, fun and unique. Ideal for after work happy hour, meals with friends or late night snacks. Interesting, eclectic atmosphere where the CEO of a Fortune 500 company can be seen next to members of Wookie Foot. And hands down the best tasting and most inventive pizza in the Twin Cities and the midwest. A++++
Read More On Citysearch jhpalmerjp 5/27/2004 - Pizza Luce is about choicePizza Luce is many things; they are cool, a fun place to hang out and have beers, great pizza, interesting waitstaff, but above all they are about choice. With over fifty toppings they have something for everybody.
Read More On Citysearch rsax 5/26/2004 - Overrated & TrendySorry! I am not at all enamored with Pizza Luce. It's really nothing special. The sauce is uninteresting, and the overall flavor is blah. I think the Savoy and Cossetta's is far superior.

Read More On Citysearch lebsian 8/8/2003 - very inconsistantThe food we get from there never tastes same, even though we order the same thing every time. So sometimes its good, sometimes it's not. It's way overpriced too.
Read More On Citysearch erinmichelle 4/25/2003 - recommendableBy far the best pizza in town - no heartburn added.And the greatest variety of "veggie" pizzas around.
Read More On Citysearch cshimek 3/20/2003 - Like the restaurant - pizza so so.I like going to Pizza Luce, as it's fun, they have a good selection of beer, and I like the freeky-looking staff. The prices are pretty standard, and so is the pizza. I've had pizza several times and sandwiches several times. I would never call it "great". Usually the crust/bread is on the dry side and the pizza toppings are boring. I'm not an expert, but I could list 10 pizza places that hav...
Read More On Citysearch galewskj 3/20/2003 - A definite Must!!!I used to go to Minniapp on business. Every trip there I looked forward to going to pizza Luce. GREAT PIE.
I travel alot and the first thing I do when I check in is ask what is the best Pizza in the area. I found Pizza Luce to be one of the very best anywhere.

Read More On Citysearch Kbard 3/7/2003 - Way Over RatedUnfortunately there aren't more late night dining options in the Cities. I've only been once- and won't go back. Granted it was bar-rush time, but I would have expected alot better everything from the place I always hear so much about. The place was packed- elbow to elbow. I felt like I was on a crowded dance floor at The Lone Tree in Mpls. The place was too smokey for me (and I'm a smoker!)...
Read More On Citysearch purplefigmnt 2/7/2003 - truly tastelesstoo doughy. skimpy on sauce and toppings. and way overpriced.
Read More On Citysearch milnekruse 1/2/2003 - One of the cities bestFirst of all, the food is amazing! Appetizers are brilliant and the salad is the best I've EVER had. They have unique pizza combos and a good selection of other main entrees. The menu also has a good selection of meat-free choices. I have 2 complaints... 1. the wait staff are Punk Rockers, which is fine, but they are pretentious snobs with a "better than you" attitude... 2. both are incredibly l...
Read More On Citysearch soulsaw 12/6/2002 - The most overrated pizza in the Midwest.Maybe I just don't get it. While Pizza Luce has a few great menu items (I love their focaccia katerina with goat cheese), their pizza is not one of them. It's edible, but sub-par. Reminds me of the old joke, "Sex is like pizza. Even when it's bad, it's still pretty good." Good for a pizza run after midnight, but otherwise there's far better pizza to be had in Minneapolis.
Read More On Citysearch alienmaybe 12/5/2002 - great food rasty looking staffpizza great - wings, salads, sandwiches- the best. Is the freak look really that important to the servers anymore? Lets move on in life (grow up, everybody has done that look already)

Read More On Citysearch punkrockchef 11/6/2002 - Not your average...Wow, why all the good reviews? This place's pizza is horrible. I had to take off every single item to eat the crust, which still tasted awful. Maybe I just had an unlucky encounter? I'm pretty sure it's always the same.
Read More On Citysearch jiai1 11/6/2002 - Luce, best food in MinneapolisThis restaurant has some of the tastiest foods and great (hot) wait staff. The customers along with the staff are very diverse. It's a great place to head to on a friday night...but you may want to go a bit early to ensure a table.

Read More On Citysearch comandos_francis 11/1/2002 - pizza lurchingThis place has great ads, but by far surrly waiters, poor service, unclean tableware and unimaginative pizza combos made me take a second guess on the namesake. Skip anything with green olives or spiced sausage

Read More On Citysearch stacynguyen 10/22/2002 - A Pizza of HeavenOkay, yes, this place has a little "hipper than thou" attitude. But, so what? It's not insufferable and I kind of like that. They've got a pretty good caesar salad and wonderful pizza. The crust is a perfect compromise between "not too thick" and "not too thin." I had a barbeque chicken pizza and it was great.

Read More On Citysearch Rebecca1974 8/26/2002 - Good beer and foodOpen til 3:00am on Friday and Saturday!!!
Food is very good and affordable the beer selection is one of the best in the Twin Cities. The Shrimp Pesto is my favorite pizza ever and the greek salad rules. The downtown location is far better than the uptown location in both quality and service.

Not somewhere I would seek out exclusively--knowing that the closest parking lot is $10-15.00--but a good place to stop for some pizza if your in the area.

No one even came close to Piza Luce!

I have tried almost all of their pizzas, including vegan and vegetarian, and have yet ...

Read More On Citysearch sparklecity 7/25/2002 - Gourmet toppingsThe pizza is great and the topping choices are the best in the Twin Cities. Mix and match as Pizza Luce will let you choose. They deliver to downtown businesses and have always been on time and with hot pizza.

Read More On Citysearch neels_88 7/23/2002 - Personal favoriteI guess it all comes down to what an individual is in to, tastewise. For my money, Pizza Luce is the best pizza you're going to get outside of Chicago and New York. Not to mention everything else they make! The Minneapolitan wings are perfect. Sandwiches, salads, (drool) gaaaahhhh!!!!!!!! I MUST HAVE SOME NOW!!!!!!!!!! Which reminds me, if you're going to pick it up, bring a friend who can either...

The service is junk, yes, but this is a pizza place. I come for the pizza. I like garlic and cheese and get it. Honestly, avoid the dining room, get a slice and take a walk.
