We booked Lucia’s PIZZA TRUCK for a lawn party in the presidio and they were AMAZING. Easy to work with, great price, and all the food was so good, from salads and appetizers to wood fired pizzas. They were so gracious to make gluten free and vegan pizzas on request. Our guests loved them.

I ordered the Vongole pasta for over 20 dollars and it was such a disappointment. The pasta was really bland and honestly tasted like pasta water + butter. For the amount I paid, it was also crazy to me that it was not fresh pasta (had a box pasta taste). Worst of all, the clams were really fishy. Complained to the waiter but she was aggressive and gave mean looks. Do NOT recommend.

We started by ordering the meatball tapas which was $14 for only 6 tiny one-bite meatballs. They tasted alright but $14 for 6 bites was absurdly overpriced. For the main course, we had the bolognese and the vongole clam pasta. The bolognese was nothing special, and was also extremely overpriced at $25. The vongole clam pasta was flavorless, used store-bought pasta and had undercooked clams. The clams tasted super fishy and were mushy in texture. When we brought this up with the server, she was very unaccommodating and condescending. Overall, this place is very overpriced for very mediocre food and service. Would not recommend.

Good solid authentic Italian food. I had the caponata served with plain pizza dough triangles. My son had the Marguerita pizza. Service a little shaky with servers huddled in the back of the restaurant rather than checking on diners

We ordered the brussels sprouts as an appetizer, they were delicious. My wife and I each ordered a personal pizza, I feel like they were almost watery. As soon as you picked up a slice, it dropped down and all the toppings fell off.

I lived in Berkeley for a few years, and Lucia's was a regular stop at least once a week. The restaurant is beautiful, the owners are wonderful, and the food is fantastic. One of the best pizzas of my life. I loved the tiramisu and it was truly homemade! I highly recommend it
Thanks to their latest technology, once you cross the entrance, you will be teleported to Italy, where you can savor authentic tastes. Their cuisine is balanced and astonishing, turning dinner into a delightful evening of sharing and good food. Thank you, Lucia's, for being here to share these emotions with everyone!

You know that feeling when all you want is a good red sauce pasta? That is exactly what we got.
The only reason I don’t give it more than 3 is because I agree with the other reviews on price. 25 for a personal size pizza is insane. You can go to Jupiter or Cheeseboard for a quality pizza and almost double the size.

Some of the best gluten-free food my wife has ever had. I'm not gluten-free and I thought it was great, too! Meatballs, pizza, bomboloni. Great service and casual relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We felt let down, considering this place's reputation.
The pizzas are rather expensive for the quality and size. The toppings were sub-par; soggy mushrooms, overly salty prosciutto, and a very sparse amount of basil on the marinara pizza. Like, not even enough for each slice to have a single piece of basil. The cheese was pretty good though. The crust seemed like it needed another couple minutes in the oven. Despite having a little char on top, it was very chewy and floppy.
Service was very friendly. You could do way worse if you want pizza, but I don't think it's good enough that we'll be coming back.

The margherita is my go to when I'm trying a new pizzeria and theirs is superb. The crust, fresh buffalo and basil are all great but what sets them apart from all the others, even the acclaimed rose pizzeria around the corner, is the tomato sauce. Bright and acidic it carries all the parts to great heights.
Great pizza
