This is a review only for the wings. Love their pizza, but have not had it at this location, I am sure it is first rate pie as usual. However, they tote their wings as award winning and the 24 hour joint down the street clowns them.
One star for the building and atmosphere which are very well presented. One star for the sauce that goes on the wings because honestly, the texture appearance and flavor profile of the sauce is pretty stellar. But the greatest sauce in the world cannot save chicken wings that are cooked improperly
Chicken wings are small portions of meat wrapped with tendons and veins around bones and thick skin. You aren't cooking breasts or thighs here, you MUST cook them until crispy. Once you do this, the veins and tendons render and the skin turns from a disgusting rubbery case into a crispy texture layer that makes the wing delicious. Being that the meat is on the bone and the entire piece is wrapped in skin, the meat will stay juicy even after it is fully cooked. Seems odd that I have to explain these basics? Well, the wings were the same both times and they were requested to be extra crispy.
I have been to every Pizza Luce, even Duluth! Â This is easily the best location. Â
Pizza Luce is for fans of gourmet pizza, diners with food restrictions (almost everything can be made vegan and gluten-free) and anyone who appreciates fantastic food at a reasonable price! Â To me, the barbecue mock duck pizza (the Rustler) is the most flavorful pizza in town. Â
The staff at this Luce seems to be more agreeable and cooperative than anywhere else, and I've never had to wait for a table. Â Great place!!
It's all about the Wrangler. It's a pizza. You must try it. But don't try a piece of mine, because I will fight you. Seriously.
This is only one out of two restaurants that my husband and I can both truly agree on going to. (The other one is Town Hall Tap.) We get the same thing every time. A large Wrangler. It never gets old. It's basically a bbq chicken pizza, but it's so much more - they add mushrooms, banana peppers, house bbq sauce, onions, green peppers... Oh so good.
The service we've had at the Richfield Luce has been absolutely perfect - friendly, prompt and efficient. Love it.
This new location is actually quite nice inside, it feels a bit more like a "family friendly" restaurant than the other locations I've been to. That said, there's also quite a lot of families here (which is great, if you have kids - it seems like they have coloring stuff, etc available) so it's always quite a lot louder/more full of children than other Luce locations, so don't go expecting a particularly romantic/relaxing dinner. They have a party room in the basement which they use as an "overflow" room sometimes on the weekends - if the host gives you the option of waiting 20 minutes for a table or immediate seating in the basement (she didn't sell this option very well... we asked her if she was taking us to a dungeon based on her description) choose the basement party room! It was quieter and actually quite nice. There was a nice big TV down there too, which they said we could set to whatever we wanted.
As other reviewers have noted, they've always got a great beer selection.
One downside to this Luce location is the parking. The lot gets full quickly on weekends so you may have to use their valet or hunt down street parking...
As much as people rave about this place, I'm just not a huge fan. Â Â
I come here about twice a month between picking up my son and bringing him to tutoring.  Now, I have to admit, the ambiance is great.  It's  a fun hangout, looks great, and severs are awesome.  I like the bar area too.
However, the food is eh.  I've tried several pizzas, the lasagne, and apps.  None of which are standout.  I don't hate them, but  don't love them either. Â
Basically if you're in the area and don't want chain food, come here. Â Otherwise skip.
I am so glad my friends took me here! I am out of town an they said, that I must experience the Pizza Luce'! Well I live all kinds of pizza, but this place may have spoiled me forever....I have never been to a pizza place that offered meat free sausage and it was awesome! Friendly and wonderfully prompt service as well! Thanks Pizza Luce'! I cannot wait to return!
Review Source:My wife and I have visited the recently opened Richfield Pizza Luce twice since it has opened, once for happy hour and once on a busy Saturday night. I must say, I really enjoy this place. During happy hour many tap pints are only $3, and I believe that deal goes for ALL taps all day on Tuesdays (bonus!). Their wide selection alone makes it worth the visit for me. I have been able to try a number of novel beers, including Abita (New Orleans) which has become one of my new favs. We have tried a few of the menu items, and all have been pretty good and relatively affordable. My favorite thus far has been the vegetable lasagna, although wow it is served too hot. This will definitely be a go-to place for us!
Review Source:Can't say enough about this restaurant and bar. The food is fabulous and reasonably priced. Love the spicy pasta sauce I've been there about a dozen times since its opened- there is something for everyone on the menu and the beer choices are top notch. The service there is outstanding, they always are happy to see you.
Review Source:I'm not sure I can adequately express how happy I am to have a Pizza Luce down here in my neck of the woods, but I'm sure going to try.
We headed to Pizza Luce a few weeks ago for a family celebration. Even though the place had just opened, the service was fantastic, and there didn't seem to be any discernible hiccups at all. Our server was very attentive, and stayed patient with our group of seven, keeping our drinks full and seeming just as relaxed as if there were just two of us.
The food was as great as always. We started with the appetizer sampler, which includes some of their amazing dips; I could eat that artichoke dip every single day. We also enjoyed the famous Baked Potato Pizza (if you've never had this, go to Luce RIGHT NOW... you can finish reading this as you come out of your carb coma), the all-meat pizza (I think it was called the Wrangler?) and a spicy, soul-satisfying fall menu item called the Boss. This masterpiece includes pepperoni, basil, and spicy giardiniera--incredible!
Now that I think of it, I need to get back to Pizza Luce ASAP; I need to get some of that Boss pizza in my face again before winter comes.
I've been to PL twice so far at this location (despite it being on the opposite end of the cities from where I live). Â The first time it was for a late night slice to go. Â They have a little slice set-up right as you walk in. Â It was convenient, easy, and fast. Â This veggie slice was good too!
My second visit was with 5 girlfriends (and one baby) to catch up on life over brunch. Â The service was great! Â Our server was able to bring us what we needed without being pushy. Â We loved that given that we were chatting the entire time. Â A few of us got the mimosas with various juices and they were all delicious. Â They all came with delicious (but not fresh squeezed) juice and mini bottle of champagne. Â It's worth the $6. Â For food I had the portabella benedict. Â The portabella was way too salty for me - actually inedible but the rest of it was good. Â This is why I'm giving them 4 instead of 5 stars. Â
If you are looking for a new brunch spot, give them a try!
So happy to have a Pizza Luce option that isn't Downtown (UGH, bad service), Uptown (UGH, bad parking) or the other locations that are too far or not convenient to me.
The patio is nice and semi-covered and there's a biiiiig ol' lot for you to park. Â Great service and friendly, smiling employees. Â We brought a 4 year old here during brunch and she was entertained by the many kid-friendly amenities. Â
I just wish they delivered to my S. Minneapolis house!
Yum yum! I can't wait to come back here! I loved the tattoo/alternative style of the restaurant and the employees. It had a fun feel to it. My pizza (heirloom tomato special) was super good and the cobbler was amazing! I tried some drink that was fizzy and slightly lime tasting. I don't remember what it was called, but I enjoyed it. They have a nice selection of beers. Service was slightly slow and the food took some time to cook, but it was worth the wait.
Review Source:I have been anxiously awaiting the opening of the Richfield Pizza Luce location. Â My wife and I went to their opening night for a 'za and some beers. Â Like any of the other Luce locations, this one did not disappoint. Â The pizza was fabulous.
I just don't understand another reviewer who stated, "The food is good but I really can't say it's any different than any other Pizza Luce." Â Umm, isn't that the point? Â Wouldn't a restaurant WANT consistency, regardless of location? Â Of COURSE the menu is the same as any other Luce I've been to. Â That's the whole point!
What this Luce offers more than any other location is a great, large patio with plenty of seating.
What this Luce ALSO offers is a large, amazing craft beer menu that isn't available at any other Luce (or many other restaurants in general, for that matter). Â Per their Facebook page, here is a list of the breweries they have on tap:
Bell's
Fulton
Rush River
Stone
Summit
Brooklyn
New Belgium
Deschutes's
Brau Bros.
Finnegan's
Lucette
Grain Belt
Steel Toe
Lucid
Surly
Badger Hill
I had Steel Toe Size 7 IPA - are you KIDDING ME!?!? Â It's hard enough to even find this local brewery's stuff in liquor stores, much less on tap at a local restaurant. Â Same goes for Brau Bros, Lucette, and Lucid! Â Of course, they have the other usual tripe of Coors, Blue Moon, Stella, and other InBev products.
They also have $3 pint taps open to close every Tuesday. Â WHAT WHAT WHAT!?!?!?!?!
They are doing a Firkin tapping of Rush River on August 8th at 5:00 pm. Â WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!?!?! Â A special regional craft beer tapping - how can it possibly get any better than that? Â I do believe this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship for me.
Throw in the fact that they sell Izzy's Ice Cream and the fact that they do a weekend brunch and I just can't find a damn thing wrong with this picture.
Opening night review. With all of the chatter around town that's been going on for months, I figured there'd be a line out of the door. Instead, it was easy to slide in and get a table for late happy hour. As it's brand-spanking-new, it's lovely and everything is clean and unused. Other than that, it's really your standard Pizza Luce. I do have to give props for the location, this stretch of Richfield asphalt really needs a place that isn't Houlihan's, KFC, or Burger King.
The big bonus above other locations seems to be the spacious patio. It's quite big and wraps around two sides. It's set back far enough from the street that you don't notice traffic or pedestrians. Pretty constant airplane noise drowns out your conversations every few minutes until flights stop running at night, but I can't fault them for that. Other metro locations can have cramped patios, this location has corrected for that with ample space. Will be interesting to see how full it gets on weekend nights.
The food is good but I really can't say it's any different than any other Pizza Luce. Obviously it's a chain and the menu is going to be the same. It also means that there's nothing so stellar or totally spellbinding that I haven't already experienced and which merits five stars. Unless you rate every Pizza Luce five stars.
Staff was friendly and courteous and seemed to be "into" ringing in the new location...a plus for service. First round, I'd give it 3.5 stars, but as I like the chain and absolutely nothing went wrong, we'll inaugurate the place with a nice round four. It's a great location, and this neighborhood sorely needs a place like this, so I can see myself coming back fairly often. Hope the quality and service keeps up.
