We are from out of town and We came to Del Lusso by accident, but our son seen it and wanted to dine in, it was the best decision we made! The pizza, pasta, (which neither makes you bloat or upset your stomach) drinks, customer service (by the owner), atmosphere all of the above was so amazing! Made you feel right at home with your little family. 10/10. Definitely recommend and we will definitely be back when we come back to town!

Having moved recently from Chicago, we were nervous about finding a pizza place that felt like home. Del Lusso’s is now our favorite family-owned spot for pizza and good vibes. Our kids love it, but never have to beg. We’re always up for the delicious Neapolitan pizza, cozy patio, and the warm service. Highly recommend!

We were in town for our youngest son’s Make-A-Wish trip to Legoland. On our last evening, we decided to look up to see if there was a traditional Neapolitan pizzeria in the area. We found Del Lusso Pizza, and it was probably one of the most memorable dinner experiences of our lives. If I could give this pizzeria 10 stars, I would!
Not only is the pizza excellent, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and fun. Now onto the service… AMAZING! Our server was really helpful with a great personality. Now on to the unexpected…
After dinner, we were greeted by Walter, the owner. After an incredible conversation, Walter brings over a shirt for our son. Bruce Lee on a pizza turntable is awesome, btw! Then he had the waitress double our dessert order and then surprised us with a dessert pizza. We’ve never had anything like that happen.
Walter has this business down to a science, but it’s his compassion that makes all the difference. He appreciates his customers and it’s obvious his employees love working there. As a business owner myself, this level of service and care is inspiring, and the pizza is bursting with flavor. I can’t say enough.
Wish we had one back home in Buffalo, NY!

My wife and I had an early dinner there and I had the Salsicciotta Pizza: house made fennel sausage, mushrooms, San Marzano tomato sauce, Fior Di Latte, basil. Fantastic! My wife had the Margarita pizza and she really loved it. We can't wait to try all their the rest of the menu. I highly recommend Del Lusso Pizza!!!

So perfect. Quiet atmosphere and attentive service. Thank you Walter for the amazing flat bread. Delicious. Thank you for the hospitality. Food was amazing, especially knowing the dough was clean eating.

We love this place! It's a weekly staple for our family. The food is consistently fantastic, and the warm, friendly atmosphere makes every visit feel like coming home. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming; over time, they’ve come to feel like part of our extended family.
We’ve traveled a lot, and we all agree: this is the best pizza margherita we’ve had anywhere in the U.S. The stacked caprese is fresh and beautifully done, and the flatbread with dip is always a crowd-pleaser.
The sangria is light, crisp, and not too sweet—perfect for a warm evening or a laid-back weekend lunch.
This place is a gem, and we’re so glad it’s part of our community.

We've been here a few times now. The food is excellent and there's a little area for kids to play in. Sunday happy hour is the best. A+++

Finally, Real Gluten-Free Pizza. Thank You, Del Lusso!
As a celiac, I usually have to interrogate every restaurant just to feel safe. But Walter, the owner of Del Lusso Pizza, was incredibly personable and patient as he explained how they handle their gluten-free food. I told him I wasn’t just looking for a gluten-free option, I wanted real pizza. Not the dense, premade GF puck that leaves me disappointed and still craving the real thing. He assured me that this was the real deal. He wasn’t wrong.
The pizza was excellent. The crust had amazing texture, chew, and flavor. It even had those signature hot pizza oven cook marks; the kind that deepen the flavor and remind you you're eating handcrafted, wood-fired pizza. I’m a sensitive celiac, and if there had been cross-contact, I would have known before we left. But I felt completely fine after eating an entire sausage and mushroom pizza, plus part of a Nutella and berry dessert pizza.
The gluten-free dough is made in a dedicated mixer in a separate space, raised for 36 hours, and hand-formed. While it’s cooked on the same oven surface as regular pizzas, the 1,000-degree oven thoroughly burns off any residue. I admit, I was skeptical at first, but the results speak for themselves.
The sausage and mushroom combo was spot on. The mushrooms were oven roasted right on the pizza, tender, flavorful, and generously portioned. As a mushroom lover, I was thrilled. And the dessert pizza? My whole family helped devour it.
I’ve only had one other gluten-free pizza of this caliber, and that was in Stuttgart, Germany. I wish we could come back regularly, but we’re on vacation and leave tomorrow. Even so, I’m just grateful we found this place before we left.
There is an $8 upcharge for the gluten-free crust. While that might seem steep, it’s worth every penny. Most GF pizzas leave me wanting. This one left me completely satisfied.
Thank you, Walter and Del Lusso Pizza, for treating gluten-free pizza like it deserves to be done right, and for finally satisfying my long-standing pizza craving.
Fav date-nite spot with great vibe outside next to large firepit. Love the Caprese salad & Woodfired pizza. Have chatted with Walter one of the owners a few times (so friendly & attentive).
Great service and food was excellent.
