What Loraine Hessel doesn't like about Lucia's Berkeley:
Disappointing. After reading the many reviews praising this place, perhaps our expectations were too high. The service was very competent and attentive.

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. View all feedback.
