I can see why no one was there the food is just not good. We tried the pizza, pasta and salad. It is like cafeteria food with extremely high prices. The pizza was cold, the pasta was rubbery and watery and the salad had no flavor with very, very little meat and cheese (for a $20 salad). The atmosphere was great with a view of the sunset and the service was fantastic it was a grace of a time : ). Message to management: if you are going to charge over $30 for a pasta dish you better make sure it tastes good. Same with the salad and pizza.

Absolutely amazing experience, fortunate enough to have the chance to speak with the owner who's very passionate about pizza and has a deep understanding of the origin and history of it. Ordered 3 pies and was pleased with all of them. I will be back again and will recommend to others as well. Thank you for excellent and over the top customer service!

Great Salsicciotta pizza. More than met my expectations. We stopped in to place a to-go order. Met the owner who brought our pizza to us while we waited inside within a few minutes of ordering. He explained their ingredients in detail.Highly recommend if you enjoy real neapolitan style pizza.

This is our go-to place for great food and service! It's the first place we recommend to friends when they ask, "Where should we go for a date night?" All of the food is made with fresh ingredients and the wait staff (and owners) are friendly and attentive.Kid-friendliness: There is an area off the patio where kids can run around but you can keep an eye on them while you enjoy your meal.
Fantastic service! Walter the owner was a super nice guy and couldn't have been more invested in creating a high-quality experience. Great pizza and happy hour deals too.

Excellent margarita pizza. High quality cheese, the sauce is perfect, the size is perfect, and the dough is thin & very tasty. I would usually prefer a slightly crispier crust, but that may be a product of ordering it to go, & it's still better than anything else in the area.

It has become my favorite restaurant!The pizza was fantastic, I enjoyed the chewy, soft yet crunchy crust (the flower is flown in from Italy, it’s good for gluten-free people)!Salad and wine were top-notch as well !Absolute Hidden gem of a restaurant!Dietary restrictions: The owner Walther, accommodated my dietary restrictions I don’t eat pork.It was nice for him to put 100% beef meatballs on my margarita pizza.The flower is flown in from Italy, and is the type that is better for people with gluten sensitivity.
Reviews were good. Been past it a few times but place was always empty (not sure why) so tried takeout. Food is good. Lots of fresh quality ingredients. Milanese boca, Francisco pasta all had good flavor, as did pizza. Just one gripe: SHNIKES it is expensive!!! One pasta, one sandwich, and 1 pizza = $100. Not like it's a fancy place.

We've been coming to Del Lusso as a family (2 kids- 10/12) pretty much since they opened, about 4 years ago. We most recently visited with my parents who were in town, late on a Friday night and Walter and the staff were so welcoming and quick to set us up with a table for 6 for my tired parents. Over the years, the kids have enjoyed the surrounding grassy area, along with other kids which meant my husband and I could enjoy a nice glass of red and quiet conversation by the outdoor fire pit. Each of us have our favorite dishes some of which include; the poutine with pulled pork, meatballs, and Caprese salad as starters, the simple yet delicious Margherita pizza, the Blanco pizza (real truffle oil on top) and of course the Nutella pizza for desert is a must!! Both the flour AND the tomatoes used in their dishes are imported from Italy. Del Lusso has long been a favorite of ours and feels like home with Walter and his wonderful staff every time we visit! We are so lucky to have this gem so close to home! Thank you Walter for generously hosting our family over the years!
