About Pizza luce
We are pizza luce — a neighborhood pizzeria rooted in real ingredients, handcrafted dough, and a deep love for the communities we serve across United States. Every slice tells our story.
The pizza lucs Origin Story
Pizza luce was born in Roseville, Minnesota with one simple conviction: great pizza starts with honest ingredients. Our founders — two friends who grew up rolling dough in their grandmothers' kitchens — opened the first location on Snelling Ave in 2004, serving the community they knew and loved.
What began as a small neighborhood spot quickly became a destination. Word spread about our slow-fermented dough, house-made sauces, and bold, creative toppings. The pizzaluce philosophy has always been about more than food — it's about gathering, sharing, and belonging to something good.
Today, we continue to serve our community from the same spot, honoring the original recipes while evolving our menu to celebrate new flavors and dietary needs. Whether you're a longtime regular or ordering for the first time, you're part of our story.
luce pizza — Bringing People Together, One Slice at a Time
At Pizza luce, our mission is to craft food that matters — made with ingredients you can trust, by people who care. We believe a great meal is more than sustenance; it's a moment of connection, warmth, and joy.
"Good pizza is honest. It doesn't need to hide behind shortcuts — it just needs real dough, real sauce, real love."
We are committed to sourcing quality ingredients, reducing waste, supporting local suppliers, and creating a welcoming space for every guest who walks through our door.
