Pizza Lucé

Pizza Lucé is a beloved Minnesota pizzeria founded in 1993 by Joe Baier, who started the business after the pizzeria where he worked delivery closed in 1992. What began as a single small restaurant in the Minneapolis warehouse district has grown into a cherished institution with nine full-service locations across the Twin Cities metropolitan area and Duluth. The company is now led by CEO and co-owner JJ Haywood, who joined the business in 2001 and has helped expand its footprint while maintaining the founding commitment to quality and community.

The pizzeria has earned widespread acclaim for its innovative and award-winning gourmet pizzas, all handmade from fresh, local ingredients. Pizza Lucé takes pride in offering diverse menu options including extensive vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free selections, ensuring there is something delicious for every palate. Beyond their signature pizzas, the menu features hoagies, wings, salads, appetizers, and desserts, complemented by a rotating selection of craft beers and cocktails.

Pizza Lucé is more than just a restaurant - it is a community gathering place that strongly supports local arts and music. With locations near major venues like Target Field, the company fosters a vibrant atmosphere with weekly happy hours and late-night dining options. Committed to accessibility, they offer free delivery, curbside pickup, online ordering, and reservations. The company's dedication to quality food, exceptional service, and an inclusive workplace culture continues to make it a Minnesota favorite over three decades after its founding.
