Luca Pizza

Just got off the plane to visit family, first stop, lunch special with Lucas. Yes, I went to Luca’s before hugging my mom. Since Unilocal doesn’t allow you to assault my personal character for this move, I am happy to admit it! One of the best slices I have ever had. Consistently good. Not sure about delivery service or dining room experience, but the food here is excellent, all the time. That it all.

Clearly people in Springfield have no clue what pizza is supposed to taste like because this place got 4 stars and barely deserves my 1.
First, I call to order & they could not look up the address of my B&B. So, I had to hang up & call back with exact address. Every pizza restaurant should be familiar with all hotels & b&bs in their areas. But if they aren’t, surely they can google an address to accommodate travelers.
I ordered a small cheese pizza with fresh basil. What I got was undercooked dough, bland sauce and basil out of an old spice jar (clearly not fresh).

Good NY-​style pizza and wonderful restaurant soundtrack (Sinatra-​esque). Loved eating there.

We were on our way back from Chicago with some friends and had a craving for some pizza. This place was a bit out of our way, but seemed worth the detour. We ordered garlic knots and a 20 inch neopolitan pizza to share between four of us.
The garlic knots were perfect! A nice balance of crisp, yet soft dough bathing in a foil bowl of a garlic and oil. The marinara sauce added even more flavor! The pizza was also very good! The slices were enormous and one piece was the perfect amount. Great toppings choices and the 20 inch was the right amount for four people. We even had one slice left for later.
This dining area was quite dated, but don’t let that deter you from this place. The food was worth the extra drive! Staff were also friendly. Glad we drove the extra miles to avoid a chain place. Very pleased with this meal!

Great pizza. If you order 3 toppings you might as well load it up with more. Additional toppings are free. The extra garlic was wonderful. Great service and friendly.

We ordered a pizza to be delivered to a local hotel. They were fast and the delivery guy was great, very friendly. The pizza was delicious… gooey with perfect thin crust. The sauce was sweet and exactly what we wanted. I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Our usual favorite ratting doors are closed in Sundays so we tried Lucca for a change. We have to add this place to our list of faves! We started off with the spaghetti and meatballs and migrated to the pizza. Outstanding on both! Friendly staff too. Oh, and is open on Sunday!

Luca is good stuff! It’s as close to NY style pizza as Springfield can get. Pretty inexpensive too in comparison to other places in town.

Absolute garbage! Pick up a pizza half cooked and terrible cheese and crust. This was the only decent NY style pizza in Springfield until the original owners sold out. New owners don’t know a pizza from a hamburger. Don’t waste your money. I’m disgusted.

A great local pizzeria to take someone from out of town, before going to the movies or just satisfying the crave for a tasty pizza. The crust and sauce is what makes a good pizza and they have done a good job.

Best pizza delivery on the NW side of springfield that I’ve found.

I have many fond memories of this place from when they were at the mall and their new location. They have some of the best pizza and the slices are bigger than the plate! When they were in the mall you would have to stand and eat or walk because the place would be so full and not enough seats in the little place. The best move they ever made was getting a little resturant with more seats! I remember my mom being at jenny craigs saturday afternoon and my sister going over and getting pizza in their new location it was such a treat. Everytime I come back to Springfield this is one of my must stop places. I have noticed year after year the qualtiy and service has not chaged a bit! Kudo’s to you Luca’s Pizza!

I’m so glad they put a Luca pizza on the northend! I love love love their pizza. Their Stromboli is also very delicious. I like that you can get a slice or a whole pie.

Found this place on Unilocal.It’s in a strip mall and not much to look at, but don’t let that stop you. The pizza is excellent! The crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings are all just right. My husband had the chef salad and said it was great, he especially liked the salami in it. They even served bottled beer, so that’s a nice bonus.

I moved away from Springfield about two years ago and I miss this place tremendously. The atmosphere good and the pizza is amazing. If you are in Springfield and want to try good pizza; you have to visit this place. Oh and the garlic cheese bread is to die for.

Went here based on Unilocal ‘nearby’ search and weren’t expecting much since we are from the Chicago area and have some of the best pizza places in the country nearby! We were so pleasantly surprised! Had an 18 inch pepperoni pie with extra cheese, it was excellent! While we stood in line to order (I would recommend phoning in your order ahead of time on Friday as it was quite busy) my husband said, ‘it will probably be wonder bread with sauce and cheese!’ No way, the crust was excellent, had plenty of cheese and the pepperoni was tasty (but a bit greasy!).
Salad was simple, but plentiful and homemade italian dressing was good.
A few downsides; They don’t really have the customer in mind that are eating in… We split a large salad and had to ask for plates and were given the ‘small’ pizza pans that were really huge. We didn’t like was that the pizza was too large to keep on the table with 3 plates. I guess not that many people must ‘eat in’… They might rethink that strategy, maybe get those pedestals or something that the pizza can sit on while you eat. Also didn’t really like fact that we had to bus our own table between salad and pizza otherwise there would have been no room at all. Even with all that, I would still go back, maybe more often carry out than eat in but seeing as we are from out of town, that was our best choice.
We would definitely recommend this place!

We were quite surprised to see an option to add your own toppings for pizza by the slice, turns out they just throw the toppings on the cooked pizza. Either ways, the pizza was quite good and the prices are reasonable. Great lunch place!

Fantastic pizza and something for the whole family. The guys behind the counter treated us like we were regulars even though it was our first time. Helpful suggestions and ideas paired with friendly smiles made it worth the drive off the highway. If we were staying in the area we would definitely come back!

One of my top three pizza places, anywhere. Priced the way pizza used to be priced before the reign of the chain and their $ 5-​$ 10 pizzas, but absolutely worth it.
You can tell the crust is made from scratch, and the sauce is sweet and tangy. Also, CHEEEEESSSEEE. Yum. So greasy, but in a good way.
Skip the chain, order some Luca’s.

Certainly the best NY style pizza in Springfield! Love the fact that we can get an 18″ divided into quarters so everyone in the family gets what they want on their portion.
