Reviews for Del Lusso Pizza in Carlsbad, CA
Best service and excellent food. Walter made sure we were well taken care of. Even on a busy Friday evening, the food and drinks... arrived quickly. I will continue to be a regular visitor. Read more
?We got friendship. The kind that lasts a lifetime.? Chris Stapleton We?ve made two visits to Del Lusso Pizza and during those... visits we?ve managed to meet both owners (separately). Walter and Ron met as kids in Montreal, Canada, and likely had no ideahow deep their bond would become. Now years later they live on the same street and own this place together. Since ?Del Lusso?means ?of luxury? in Italian, they set out to do this right (including moving to Italy for a period to study how to properlycraft a molto bueno pizza)! (By the way, bonus points are available to anyone who can spot the bougie logo hidden within theDel Lusso sign mounted on the brick wall. Only half of our Review Team spotted it.) If you choose to visit, we?d recommendplanning on three courses. The ?Lusso Meatballs? featured an amazing marinara sauce, the ?Galluci Pizza? tasted incredibly fresh(without making you feeling weighed down afterwards), and the gelato? Please don?t get us started. The selections will vary,but we couldn?t resist sampling all of the current offerings (Banana Caramel, Pistachio, Coconut, and Chocolate). Indoor andoutdoor seating is available, the music is upbeat and contemporary, and takeout (including gelato) is available. We?re thankfulthat after all of these years Walter and Ron are still friends and we can?t help but wonder?any chance you could add Henry?sTake to your circle of friends? ???? And that?s?Henry?s Take #carlsbadpizza #neopolitanpizza Read more
I ordered the meatball sub. It was good, but I would not get it again. My friend had the margarita pizza and was very happy... with it. We also got the Nutella desert pizza, it was good. Read more
This place is wonderful. The atmosphere and service are both fantastic. The owner, Walter, came out and introduced himself,... shook my hand, and thanked me for stopping in. Thought that was a great touch. I ordered the spinach and ricotta pizza andadded grilled chicken and tomatoes. The pizza crust was perfectly cooked and the amount of sauce and toppings were perfect.Highly highly recommend!! Read more
Amazing food, great atmosphere and top notch service! This is a beautiful modern restaurant. My wife and I have visited twice... and were impressed both times. The pizza is great! We tried a red sauce pizza our first visit, and then a white pizza on thesecond, both were amazing. Super authentic tasting, with fresh simple ingredients. Nothing over-done like a lot of pizza placesdo. We got the Italian chopped salad both times because it's absolutely amazing! For dessert, tiramisu is what you want.Probably some of the best I've had. Good wine list and plenty of beers (draft and bottle) to satisfy most palates. A bitunexpectedly, you can also get an amazing cappuccino here...I highly recommend one with dessert. Service here is neveroverlooked. The staff knows the menu and are quick to give recommendations on both food and drinks. The owner, Walter, is veryfriendly and introduced himself on our second visit. He talked to us about the menu, and you could tell he was passionate aboutwhat he does. The restaurant itself is new and modern. Bright colors inside with comfy seating throughout. There is also areally nice outdoor area with a large rock firepit, which is great on a chilly night. Go try this place. Ask Walter to tell youwhy his sausage pizza is so amazing. Ask your server what their favorite red is. I promise you the food and staff will deliverabove expectations. Read more
Owner Walter is very sociable and hospitable when it comes to interacting with his customer. Ambiance is welcoming. Fresh... ingredients you could literally eat a three course meal and still walk out the restaurant feeling satisfied instead of beingsleepy and bloated. Wife Tricia has very good recognition skills with repeat customer. If your looking for Italian pizza thatwon't weigh you down Del Lusso Pizza is the one. Read more
My wife and I shared the spinach and ricotta pizza and the village salad. They were both fine, but we?ll probably try something... different next time. That salad is a LOT of peppers, plus onions, olives, capers, and cucumbers. The pizza was good, andcertainly not greasy, but we should have had one of their red pizzas. They have indoor seating, and outdoor seating with alarge fire pit. The atmosphere is great, and the staff is excellent. Everyone that works there clearly takes great pride inproviding top notch service. Read more
This was a pleasant surprise to say the least. A friend here to enjoy some amazing pizza and delicious salad coupled with a... nice wine & beer. The interior was fun and vibrant with music. However my only gripe about this place is how LOUD the musicis. I should be able to have a conversation in a restaurant and not have to shout to converse. Ergo, the 4 ???? foratmosphere. With some cool pictures on the walls, including a Bruce Lee spinning a pizza. The restaurant has a garage styledoor that rolls up to the open air in front of the restaurant with outdoor seating and heating. It was very populated withpeople enjoying themselves at a wonderful Italian restaurant. Salad was wonderful and dressed just perfectly and not oversaturated. The pizza was to die for with an amazing crust. I will have to definitely come again as I am craving the pizza Read more
