“It was my first time coming to Lucca Deli, and I had a great experience. The sandwiches are delicious, and the quality of the ingredients really stands out. One of the workers, Biduri, was especially helpful. They took the time to explain all the different ways I could customize my sandwich and made the whole ordering process easy. The customer service was excellent, and I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Ordered a simple large pepperoni pizza and it arrived in 36 minutes. Not bad, not great. But the wait was worth it in the end. The pizza is absolutely on point. I love the way the cheese is melted and the top layer of cheese is crispy, but not overly crispy. Tastes great and you can tell it’s hand made and very fresh. Will definitely order again.“

“Rigatoni’s has homemade Lasagna that is delicious. They have the Combo deal. For $20 you can have a smaller portion of your entree, a salad and a drink and all you can eat bread. You can pick from 3 different kinds of salads. The salad that has tomatoes and lettuce with croutons, or a Caesar’s salad or the mixed green salad which has dried cranberries, feta cheese and candied walnuts. The mixed green salad has become a favorite choice. There are additional food choices under the Combo deal. The atmosphere is nice and pleasant. It’s not noisy. The restaurant is nice and clean making the dining experience a pleasant one. You can also sign up with Toast Tab to earn points on your meals. Since the restaurant is inside a shopping center they have parking right in front of the restaurant. Sometimes if the parking in front of the restaurant is unavailable there is other parking spots close by to park your vehicle.“

“ok so at first i didnt know this place was even a thing but the pizza we order was very good and there was code on our coupon and we used and it said we could get a free 2 liters bottle soda but we used it to knock down the price and so when we went to go pick up the pizza and we told the worker about the coupon and ect and they told us since we used the code to knock down the price if we wanted the bottle soda we would have to pay 5 bucks for it so we decided to leave the place and we arent coming back to this place“

Very nice people work here, and I always have an experience, I’ve ordered on DoorDash and picked it up and it’s always the same great quality. I’ve recommended this spot to my mom and she loved it; and my mom is a picky lady when it comes to pizza. Definitely come here, they have more than just pizza“

“We came for our 30th anniversary while Strizzi's is celebrating it's 40th, so we got soup and salad gratis. Not just a cup or a small salad but full blown servings. My clam chowder was among the best I ever had. The food was great - we had the lasagna and spaghetti with (3 big) meatballs. Our server, Jawad, was among the friendliest ever, and took the time to chat and take our picture. A lot of servers do that, but he was just a wonderfully friendly guy. Get there and see if he will serve you before he gets through college! We had not heard of this place before and took a flyer. Big score!“

“la mejor barbacoa excelente consomé muy rico“

“I’ve been eating Pizza Factory pizza for over 15 years. It was the only pizza joint in my town while growing up. Since moving to the Bay Area 10 years ago I’ve missed the classic taste of the pizza! Imagine my surprise when I got a craving for some za and saw that a PF was in the same city as me! It’s quick, cheap (for the bay), and delicious. Can’t go wrong with this spot.“

“The owners are always nice. Great pizza!! Just the way Round Table should be!“

“One of the best local Italian restaurant in East bay!“
