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.

    Hi Tracy, Thank you for taking the time to rate your experience. We’re pleased that the food was generally well received, but we’re genuinely sorry to see that the service, ambience and overall value did not meet your expectations. Without a written comment, it’s difficult for us to understand exactly what went wrong, and we would really value the opportunity to learn from your experience. If you’re willing, please feel free to contact us directly and let us know when you visited and what we could have done better. We take feedback like this seriously and will continue working with both our front-of-house and kitchen teams to raise the overall guest experience. Warm regards, The Lucio’s Team

    Lucio’s has been my favourite restaurant for many years and it has never disappointed. Our grandson told is that it is his new favourite as well. He cleaned his plate. That happens very rarely. The service is always outstanding.

    Hi Chris, Thank you so much for this wonderful review and for supporting Lucio’s over so many years. It means a great deal to know that we continue to be one of your favourite places. We especially loved hearing about your grandson — a clean plate and a new favourite is about as good a compliment as we could ask for! 😊 Thank you too for your kind words about our service. Creating a warm, welcoming place that families can enjoy across generations is very much what Lucio’s is about. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back again soon. Warm regards, The Lucio’s Team
