If you're strolling through the charming streets of Lucca and have a craving for truly exceptional pizza, look no further than Pizzeria Pellegrini. Nestled in the picturesque P.za San Michele, this delightful pizzeria serves up a culinary experience that delights the senses and warms the heart.

The moment you take a seat, you'll be tempted by the inviting menu, which features classic Italian pizza made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.

The true star here is the brick oven pizza, a craft perfected at Pizzeria Pellegrini. Customers rave about the crisp, smoky crust that boasts a delightful char, achieved only through the magic of a traditional wood-fired oven. Each bite reveals the harmony of flavors—rich, zesty tomato sauce, indulgent melty cheese, and a variety of topping options that burst with freshness. As Fred Suber highlights, every slice of this 'Brick Oven Bliss' is an authentic taste of Italy that transports you to the heart of Naples.

For those on a quick lunch adventure, the option to grab a slice on-the-go is a game-changer. The convenience of savoring a slice of pizza allows you to indulge without missing a beat in your exploration of Lucca. Adam Gardner speaks to this ultimate convenience, noting how the wood-fired slices are ideal for a fast yet satisfying meal.

But it doesn't stop at pizza. Pizzeria Pellegrini also boasts some of the best cecina (chickpea flatbread) in town, a dish that has captivated visitors like Daniel Nikolov, who can’t seem to get enough during his stays in Lucca. At an affordable price point, this eatery ensures that you can indulge without breaking the bank.

The welcoming staff at Pizzeria Pellegrini is as delightful as the dishes they serve, contributing to an overall charming experience, though the occasional service hiccup may occur, as noted by Ivana. Nevertheless, the friendly service only adds to the warmth of the dining experience.

Whether you're a local or a first-time visitor, Pizzeria Pellegrini is a must-visit destination for pizza lovers. From its rich flavors to a laid-back atmosphere, it perfectly encapsulates the spirit of casual Italian dining. Discover why this hidden gem has become a favorite among both tourists and locals alike—your taste buds will thank you!

Pizzeria Pellegrini, what a hidden gem for Brick Oven Bliss! Pizzeria Pellegrini delivered some of the best brick oven pizza I’ve ever had. The crust was perfectly crisp with that smoky char only a true wood-fired oven can achieve. Each bite was full of flavor—fresh ingredients, melty cheese, and a rich tomato sauce that tied it all together. Simple, authentic, and absolutely delicious. This place is a must-try for any true pizza lover visiting Lucca Italy.

Tasty, no-fuss wood-fired pizza — sold by the slice, which makes it perfect for a quick bite on the go. Great crispy base, rich tomato sauce, and quality toppings. Ideal if you want something fast but authentic.

Very good pizza and great beer. Prices are more than reasonable considering the fact that the restaurant is located behind the church on the main town square. The waiter was somewhat clumsy, but she was nice.

Very good wood-fired pizza, with seating on the street out-front. Service was friendly, if a little slow - but it was very busy on the Saturday evening that we visited; the queue was out the door for those who were taking pizza away! The 6 of us (2 adults and 4 kids) shared 3 pizzas and a foccacia flatbread, along with some drinks (4 soft and 2 Aperol spritz). It all came to 56€, which was pretty decent

Correct as of April '25 Friday evening, Very busy. Cooked in a nice traditional wood fire oven. You'd better know Italian, or at least have a translator available, for communication. Take some time to go over the menu, which is in both English and Italian. Prices are pretty good, very fair. Better than most UK fast food and pizza restaurants. Sitting inside, or takeaway, are both available. However, no sitting outside if you're not a customer. No Deep Pan only thin pizzas. Beware, price is per pizza, not per slice... As I learnt the hard way.
