The best pizza I've ever had. Love this place. Wherever I'm in town visiting family, I always go here. Cheese breadsticks are also delicious

The pizza is always a favorite of our family . It has been a while since we have met there , but as things open up we will return .

Always has amazing food and it's worth the wait. My boyfriend is diabetic and upon arriving I asked how long the wait was. I told them I hoped it was soon because of his sugar getting low. The owner gave me some crackers for him to snack on and told me to let them know if I needed some orange juice.

Deluca's has the best pizza in Lansing. Everything else on menu is also delicious! I called ahead to order a pizza for take out and upon arrival, the restaurant was so busy it was difficult to find a parking spot. Dine-in was so busy at 6pm on a Monday night that people were waiting outside for tables to open. But trust me when I say the food is so good, it's worth the wait. Owners have recently decided to put restaurant up for sale after decades of operation. It's not likely due to lack of business. Guessing they may just wish to retire. They are hoping to find new owners that will continue to operate the restaurant as a family business. Deluca's plan to remain open until the restaurant is sold. So I highly recommend eating at Deluca's or place a take out order as frequently as possible while they are still open.

Has had the best pizza in town for many years. The menu has an awesome selection of your favorite Italian dishes.

Used to go here back in the early 2000s. Place is mostly the same. Meatball soup is not as good as it used to be, nor the gnocchi. Spinach manicotti and fettuccine DeLuca are as superb as ever. My gripe though is that I was told it would be 25-30 min for the order to be ready. I showed up at 25 min... "not quite ready". 10 min goes by, told that "the cooks say it will be another 5 minutes", 10 minutes wait "it's being bagged up", another 10 minutes later I finally have my food, 55 minutes after ordering. I understand that there are staffing issues but I know the person telling all of this has worked in this restaurant for over 20 years. You should have a very good gauge of how long it will take the food to be done. If they had told me 45-60 min, not an issue. Don't over promise and under deliver.
Day was crushed when found out Delucas is looking to sell to a new owner and will be closing late October. I've loved this place since I was in college(had my college graduation lunch there). Every time I would be in the area, I'd stop in or get carry out. Hoping the new owners keep the original recipes...that sauce is amazing.

While visiting a friend in Lansing, he took me to Deluca's Restaurant, as I wanted Italian food. He claimed this was the best in the area! So I checked out the menu, and was excited to try the restaurant. Once we got to the restaurant, there was a short 10 -12 minute wait for seating. I forgot our waitress's name, but she was nice. While skimming some Yelp reviews menu while waiting, I came across a picture of fried zucchini, so I knew for appetizers that was a must. I love fried zucchini and hadn't had it in years. I also came across a picture of cheesy garlic breadsticks that looked delicious, so of course that was another appetizer I knew I wanted to try. Both were delicious! I ordered for entree, cheese ravioli with meat sauce. And by the time the waitress bought out the entrees, my friend and I were already stuffed. I forgot to add we both had side salads (Sidenote: I don't know if the ranch dressing is homemade or not, but it was so good). My friend always talked about how good the pizza was, and he actually ordered a pizza to go (I didn't get a chance to take a picture). So overall, a really good experience, good food, and I would definitely be interested in returning to try more good food!

A Lansing institute. Amazing after all these years still a wonderful restaurant. We go primarily for the pizza and it is still the best in town. This is not one of those places where they skimp on toppings and cheese. My wife bought a 12" pie and brought half of it home. Have ordered lasagna and it was tasty and plentiful. The waitstaff is well trained and seems to stay there, so the service is consistently good. A gem.

We had a very good meal at Delucas. Our party of 4 had chicken Parmesan, eggplant Parmesan, sausage and spaghetti, and cheese ravioli. The portions are huge so be aware when you order. The red sauce is delicious and we really enjoyed our food. It was yummy. This is an old time southern Italian restaurant. Our waitress was friendly and and efficient. I would highly recommend a visit.
