From just seven tables in 1987 to a much-loved Johannesburg institution, Lucio’s Pizzeria has spent almost four decades bringing people together over authentic Italian food, generous hospitality and a whole lot of cuore. Step inside and feel the warmth of our lively, family-style atmosphere, where friends and families gather around our famous pizzas, comforting Italian classics, good wine and great conversation.

Recognised among South Africa’s Top 10 favourite pizzerias for three consecutive years, Lucio’s is where tradition, flavour and Italian passion come together — a little piece of Italy in Joburg, with a place for everyone at the table.

    All well. Service sometimes not available as they disappeared in the back but not serious. Ambience ok.
