Lucca's Pizzeria & Market | Our Story

Real Italian food in Mission Valley

Real Italian food in Mission Valley

Lucca's Pizzeria & Market is a Mission Valley original built around one idea: real Italian food, made with care. As we like to say, the food is better than most fancy restaurants.
The oven from Italy

The oven from Italy

At the center of everything is a rotating stone pizza oven imported directly from Italy. It's what gives every pie that crisp, spotted crust and the kind of heat that no standard deck oven can replicate.
Food worth gathering for

Food worth gathering for

The menu runs deeper than pizza — homemade meatballs, hearty pasta dishes, calzones built on homemade bread, and a classic Italian table's worth of antipasti and salads. Every dish is the kind of thing you come back for.
A market and café, too

A market and café, too

Alongside the kitchen, you'll find a fully stocked Italian market and the Kouklas Café — a café-within-the-restaurant concept offering breakfast and classic Italian desserts. It's a little more than you expected, in the best way.
