Del Lusso Pizza

Neapolitan Pizzas Cooked in 90 Seconds Coming to Carlsbad | Eater San Diego

"Coming to Bressi Ranch’s new Lift development in Carlsbad, Del Lusso’s is a fast-casual, family- and dog-friendly pizzeria slated to open by late summer. I learned co-owner and chef Walter Wong, a Carlsbad resident who transitioned from a successful software career, and co-founder Steve Seminara developed a scalable model for the concept. Pizzas will be Neapolitan-style, cooked at 800 degrees in a custom brick oven and ready in about 90 seconds, made with imported Italian wheat flour, bufala mozzarella, and San Marzano tomatoes; offerings will range from classic margherita to pies featuring locally sourced ingredients such as vegetables from North County’s Chino Farms. The 1,600-square-foot space will include a 650-square-foot patio, offer two pizza sizes plus slices-to-go at lunch, and a broader menu of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pasta, gelato and coffee, plus beer and wine. It will share the complex with an outpost of burger bar Eureka!, and the tenant representative praised Del Lusso’s as a welcome addition to an area lacking quality dining, noting the founders’ passion and strong business sense." - Candice Woo
