First time I had Lucia's pizza was at their pop up at the Grand Lake farmers market in oakland, and completely fell in love with the 4 cheese pizza! Decided to try the restaurant a couple of months ago and the didn't disappoint! Pizza was delicious and staff were super nice and friendly! Totally recommend them if you're looking to have a legit Italian pizza experience!

The pizzas are very flavorful and not oily. The service is also really nice and very friendly.It’s just absurdly expensive for a non-fine dining restaurant, like $14 for a tiny plate of appetizer and $25 for a personal sized pizza. Ended up spending $40 per person for just two people, I have no idea how Google Maps lists the place as $20-30.

The pizzas are so delicious. The gluten-free crust is everything-- so soft. The staff are friendly. Always a treat!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options are fantastic. Very tasty despite being gluten-free.

As an avid searcher of delicious meals in both the Bay Area and Sonoma County, this is HANDS DOWN the most memorable and delectable pizza I have had in the United States. Period.Authentically Italian, and charming in service. After a few years of living in the Berkeley area, there is simply no other choice for amazing pizza.5 stars hands down!

This is one of our favorite spots for dinner. I have never been disappointed by a dish and the service is wonderful. The Bombolonis (Italian donuts stuffed with ricotta and fruit) are divine.

For those gluten free, the pizza is the best in the east bay. Unfortunately, The guy that runs bar/floor manager is a complete tool. The first time I was in, I saw him degrade a server, and this go around, he decides to call over (the same aforementioned server) to the bar, to send him off on some task as we stood awkwardly. He says something about a reservation under his breath to the server, and the server walks away, still standing awkwardly. A student walks in and seats himself, then is directed to stand behind us. This place and this guy are a joke to the service industry.

I really want to like this place, but with the service and most importantly the rudeness of the owner, I cannot support it. I was there with a friend of mine and after 1 hour and a half, the owner came to our table and made us leave. He said every table has a 1.5 hour time limit. We ordered pizza, salad, two drinks, and then were forced the leave. The 1.5 hour time limit is not published anywhere. Even the servers didn’t know what to do.The owner was very rude as well. He gave me a very evil stare down while telling me to leave. Like I was a little boy and he was my dad yelling at me at church.I am Italian. I have been to restaurants all over Italy. It’s very un Italian to ruin someone’s eating experience because of a timeline to eat.I’ll never go back here. There are many other good Italian restaurants and pizza places in Berkeley and all over the Bay Area. I also encourage the owner to apologize.
Pizza was good and service was great! Kind of expensive for the size of the pizza, however—it’s basically the size of a personal pizza for $20.

We always love Lucia's and often go before shows at Berkeley Rep or The Freight. This time we went as a group of 17 (which kept shifting) before a show. Alessandro was amazing with being super flexible, helping make sure we were set up for a delicious meal and with no stress about getting out in time for the show. We will keep going back!

food tasted good and the atmosphere was nice, but the portion sizes were fairly small for high prices.

I had only eaten from the pizza truck but the restaurant is great. Traditional wood-fried pizzas and pasta dishes. We got the pizza diavola and the trofie al pesto.
