Great service - and the space is so well utilized. They have three floors of seating. I loved the cheese curds. Some of the best I’ve had. Plus, the pizza was great. I built my own, but the toppings were plentiful. (The sausage is really good.) I simply had to stop because I was stuffed, but I didn’t want to. It tasted that good.

I've wanted to try the pizza here for a while, and since I was in the area, it was a perfect chance, too! I started out with the cheese curds and skipped the marinara to use the ranch. It was phenomenal. For pizza, we got a classic pepperoni, and omg, it was to die for. Perfect amounts of everything. I’m not a pizza and ranch girl, but their ranch was so good on the pizza that I had to indulge. It was so good. Has a great view of the capital too!

I heard they had all-beef pepperoni (H), which brought me in—and it did not disappoint. We didn’t have a reservation for two, so we ended up sitting at the bar, which worked out great. Coincidentally, there was a live band playing that night, and the vibe was awesome. The pizza was seriously delicious, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. It was a great experience all around—I highly recommend it!

Came here on a Wednesday night. It was packed. We waited 25 minutes for a table outside. Not too bad of a wait in my opinion. The service was attentive, quick, and friendly. The food was awesome. Everything tasted freshly prepared. I enjoyed the unique choices of pizza and especially the beer selections. I got the King Gyro and it was amazing. The crust was flavorful and perfectly textured. The toppings were fresh and tasty.

I finally visited last weekend, and I'm hooked! The staff are all super nice, the food is great, and the building is really cool. If you're sensitive to crowd noise, try to go on a week day.

We stopped at this pizza place in the way back from the Dells because we saw a One Bite review and wanted to try it out. The ambiance is very chill, with modern decor and a great bar area. The staff was all very pleasant and our waitress was exemplary. The food was top notch as well. They had the best cheese curds I’ve ever had and the sausage pizza was very good. The crust was tasty and it wasn’t overloaded with sauce. For dessert we got a skillet cookie, and while it was nothing special, it was still tasty. Overall, we highly recommend this place. Dave rated the pizza at a 7.4 and we are at a more conservative 7.1, but that’s still really good pizza.

Great popular pizza spot in Madison. Central location by the Capital square. Nice ambience inside good for dates. Two floors. Comfortable seating. Great service at table but front door was not the best. Not greeted and staff was ignoring us. Was checked in on several times at the table though. Good wait staff Pizza was perfect. Steel pan weekender was big and enough for three. crisp edges with lots of flavor. They have some events and music check it out online. A nice bar. And some happy hours. Got 20% off drinks Tuesday night. Make reservations it can get busy. Menu is online. Steel pan nachos no meat is $12. For 1lb. Steel pan weekender is $32 Beers around $8

Came without a reservation for dinner on a Sunday, group of 4. Totally lucked out with a row of seats at the bar. Very festive inside, lots of activity going on. Service was good, food was great. We had nachos with pork(you will need to share, even the small one is huge!), the curry chickpea bowl, and 2 pizzas. Two of us had some of the festive cocktails. Fun! We were all happy with our choices! Thanks for an enjoyable experience.

Great stop before a concert at Camp Randall a few weeks ago. We split a Caesar and The Queen. Loved the spicy Caesar with the chips on top! And the Queen was simple and delicious. The Mexican fusion with pizza is such a fun restaurant concept. Service was great especially since it was a really busy day. Make a reservation if you can. We sat on the 2nd floor which was quieter than the 1st floor. But the first floor has a large bar people were congregating at. Can't wait to go back!

My friends and I had such a great time at Lucille! Our server was so fun and helpful. We ordered a couple cocktails and 3 different pizzas. They had a special pizza when we went called the Graduate that was really delicious. I will be back! Thanks :)

I went to Lucille for dinner and the vibe was high! I love the upstairs dining area. I ordered a build your own pizza and it was super tasty! I want to shoutout Lucille for having vegan cheese, as plant based options in Madison are slim. I also had the chips and guac and it was very tasty and fresh. The margarita was excellent as well. Overall, I recommend and it is great that they have options for dietary restrictions!

It's been a long time since my 1st and previous visit. I'm glad I came back. I think I prefer the wood fired pizza to the Detroit style pizza. Both were good, but the Detroit style pizza lays a little heavy on one's chest. The cocktails were well crafted and the esthetics of this restaurant are really nice.

Great way to spend summer night. Ambiance is lively and fun, great dinner with my daughter. Shared a salad and Mediterranean steel pan pizza.

This is an easy favorite for me and my people! outstanding food, efficient and kind staff, fantastic vibes throughout. Of the temperature allows I love sitting by the open doors on the main floor. ordered: cheese curds she's a-maize-ing pizza:

Great interior, a lot of seatings and large windows! Loved our server, he was kind and attentive but not overly so. Here's my food rundown: - Cheese curds (5/5): great seasoning, crisp outside, delicious ranch, no notes - Nachos (4.5/5): flavor was great, we got it with the pork shoulder and we actually ordered the 1lb and received the 3 lb version ??? def not complaining though haha. my only note is that the dispersion of toppings was a bit uneven (there was a TON of pickled onion on one side and rather sparse on the other) - Weekender pizza (3/5): the flavor was great !! all the toppings meshed together and the sausage was very flavorful; where it gets not so good is the construction-- the crust was perfectly crispy and amazing but the inner dough was undercooked and tasted a bit raw. also, the toppings were heavvyyy, i definitely appreciate the generosity but there was so much on top of the pizza it was sliding off (which i also suspect is a reason for the middle being underdone) This is a side note but my N/A margarita was missing its rim-- not a big deal but was kinda sad abt it :') Overall would totally come here again and give it another try! might've just been an off day with the pizza but the food was pretty tasty and the vibes were good

Love this place!! They serve wood-fired pizzas need I say more? The pizzas served here are absolutely delicious and don't let their size full you...their pizza is loaded with lots of fresh toppings! The interior of this place is very cozy and very chic, making it a great place to hang out in a group and take some great photos especially over the holidays. This place is especially well decorated during December in which they host Miracle on King Street. It is absolutely beautiful inside! There is an upstairs area and a downstairs lounge area (perfect for company dinners/parties). During Miracle on King Street the drink menu changes to suit the holidays. The drinks here are both delicious and strong. They also sell vintage style Christmas cups to which I couldn't resist and bought a dinosaur cup. Don't be ashamed to dress in holiday sweaters when visiting in December. Make reservations in advance, the bar area fills up quickly.

Pizza was great. Margarita with salt had just a smudge of salt on one side. Nachos need much more cheese. Surprising that a place in Wisconsin would short you on cheese!

Super cute space. Visited Lucille during their Miracle on King St pop up. (Ends 12/24/24). Super fun holiday themed drinks due to the pop up and an explosion of holiday decor. Their menu has a good selection with a variety of salads, pizza, and shareables. Staff was very friendly and they kept us in the loop for example that we were going to have a switch in servers etc. They do note this in their reservations page but it is a two level space. Quite the stairs to go to level two so make sure if anyone in your group needs accessible seating or cannot do stairs well that you request seating on level one.

Loved the atmosphere here! Open floor plan & friendly service with excellent food! Our group of 4 was accommodated easily! We didn't have a reservation, but sat at the bar within 15mins of arriving (full menu). The drinks were fab and priced fairly for being in the city. Crafted with care! The pizzas are two different types of crusts so read carefully! We ordered one of each and enjoyed the leftovers later that night!

Ordered the steel pan pizza and prepared to wait the advertised 30 minutes. No problem ~ I'm with cool people! Almost an hour later the waitress reports that my pizza has been delivered to another table. Would I like to order something else? Lucille serves food as it is ready, so all in my party already had their food and were eating~ so... I ordered the guacamole. Heavy onion flavor ~ sort of overwhelming. This place may be great ~ but that wasn't my experience. At two hours in, the waitress says, "oh! It looks like they did make that pizza ~ do you want it?" Nope. They did comp the guacamole. And again, I hope your experience is different. I won't return, and I won't recommend.

Went here a while back for dinner, and it was mediocre food, but I loved the vibe inside. Nothing too special. However, we came back on a Sunday afternoon to check out the patio and had a great experience. The bartender was very friendly and let us try out samples of their craft beer. Sitting outside, we got a view of the capital, as well as a big city feel, which we loved. Looking forward to coming back.

Recently went to Lucille's with my UW mock trial team to have a little reunion and was pleasantly suprised. I am not a huge fan of pizza so, I was a little upset with myself when I did not check the menu beforehand. But, nevertheless I thought I would try a classic slice of pizza and then the gyro one. The gyro one was pretty dang good! The vegetables went really well with the seasoned meat that they used. The sauce was also impeccable. Other than the gyro pizza, the classic slice and a couple of the others I tried (as we just ordered a few for the table) were pretty okay. There was also a really scenic view of the capitol at night when I went.

Located on the Capitol Square area of downtown Madison Wisconsin, Lucille serves up a really good version of Detroit style pizza We first visited Lucille shortly after it opened, and at the beginning of the Detroit style pizza craze a while back. On this stop, we dropped in for Saturday lunch after visiting the Saturday farmer's market. We had a furry friend with the four of us, so needed a restaurant that had a shaded, outdoor patio that allowed dogs, which Lucille does. We got on the waitlist, quoted a 20 minute wait, and was seated before then. Service was fine throughout. It's a smaller menu, with two types of pizza available: wood-fired (Neopolitan) and steel-pan (Detroit). Both only come in one size, with the steel-pan ($33) having 8 pieces (enough to feed 3-4). We didn't like any of the specials, so just went with Build-your-own: ordered pepperoni and sausage (replaced by bacon...not sure what happened there). The pizza uses Mozzarella instead of Wisconsin Brick, and the toppings were quality. Delicious pizza, and easy to bring back to the hotel. An order of chips and salsa ($6) had good, well made salsa though the chips were a bit stale (probably because of the humid air). Two white rascals were good (had many of those in california) for $7. The fat orange cat kittens draft was good, but costly at $12 because of sourcing costs. Paying was easy directly at the table using Toast.

I have tried several pizzas, the Al Pastor is my favorite, it is the bomb! The atmosphere is vibrant, there is a bar center stage, so ask to be seated upstairs if you want it a little quieter. The building alone is worth the trip, but the food seals the deal. The nachos are excellent. Service is a bit slow and one server has an attitude, but still a great experience.

We went on a Wednesday date night. The band was so loud you couldn't talk, the service was incredibly uneven. Little things like giving you a new plate when you go from salad to pizza didn't happen. The food was good, which is the only redeeming value.

Great location, atmosphere, and pizza. We started with the nachos and guacamole. Portions were huge!! I loved that the guac came with Jicama and celery, I wish it was a little spicier. Nachos had the perfect ratio of toppings/cheese. They also were very big, and we ordered small. Tried the weekly special pizza and deep dish. I love that Lucille always has unique pizza options. If you don't want pizza, there are other entrees, like rice bowls. I tried the Bodega bowl and was really surprised - since they're known for their pizza. Service and atmosphere were great! We sat upstairs and it was so fun, very large open space with an industrial chic vibe. I will say we ordered everything at once, but the guac and bowl came out first, then a pizza, then nachos, and the final pizza. I wish the timing could have been a little better. Otherwise service was very fast!

I arrived early to meet hubby at the Yelp event, and parked at the bar to warm up after walking from campus. The "Miracle on King" decor is super fun. The quantity of ornaments and lights was huge. The seasonal collection of cocktail glasses in use is amazing. The sole bartender was super busy, and I got to watch him make some fairly complex drinks. He acknowledged me and apologized for the wait. It really wasn't that long... The drink, a cranberry daiquiri, was excellent. Thank you for the friendly service, the wonderful cocktail, and the entertainment of your cocktail making.

Visited Lucille for "Date Night " with a friend. when scheduling the reservation asked for the table with a video of the capitol as I wanted my friend to have a super awesome view to lift her spirits. We were sat next to it while the table there kept mentioning what a spectacular view and how they hadn't requested it. ‍ Live music was playing. We had a great night. Our service was pretty great. The food was tasty. The pizza and strawberry blueberry crisp cooked perfectly. I would recommend on a friends night or date night with partner.

This is my third time coming here and I built my own wood fired pizza with arugula, green olives, sausage, and prosciutto as my toppings. I never noticed this before but this time the pizza was incredibly salty to the point where I couldn't eat as much as I wanted to. It might've been because of the toppings I chose so beware when choosing your toppings! Previous times I've come here it was delicious though so maybe I'll need to go back to my original orders‍! I also ordered cheese curds which were great but also noticeably salty. We sat at the bar and service was decent but slightly lacking (understandable though because it was VERY busy). I love the interior of the restaurant. It is so cozy and they have all their Christmas lights and decorations up right now so it definitely got me in the Christmas spirit!

The atmosphere and ambiance invited us inside, but the food left us a little disappointed. We tried the guacamole and cheese curds to start, both were good and especially liked the carrots with the guacamole. After this, things went downhill with an unusual spicy Caesar salad that included a ton of jalapeños and birria tacos that were simply baked and not very flavorful.

Absolutely the best (cheap) date night deal in Madison is at Lucille's on Wednesday nights. $50 per couple gets you a bottle of wine (red or white) , app, pizza and a dessert. You can upsize the pizza for a few $$ if you want to have extra. Limited menu only which I posted. Everything we had was delicious and service was fantastic too! Will return and recommend

What an adorable, warm and cozy bar, especially on a cold early winter night. I loved the place. The Christmas decorations inside look as if they took days to put together. A really festive, comfortable atmosphere. Their wood fired pizza was amazing. Very easy to tell they put a lot into making it as well, starting with an in-house wood-burning brick pizza oven next to the bar.

Very strong pizza, cocktail and beer spot. Came on July 4th and there was a few minute wait around 5:30pm. Service was great - proactively checking on us when it started to rain. The Queen - 4.5/5. Added arugula, providing a nice touch to a strong pizza. Tangy sauce, lots of cheese, thin crust, well executed. 16" is a good size for 2 people. Only criticism is slightly greasy. Empanada - 3/5. Black bean and plantain was solid and well fried but I don't need to get it again. Drinks - 4.5/5. Got a painkiller mocktail and really enjoyed the balance and tropical vibes. My wife got a IPA, picking from a solid draft list.

Food is delicious (especially the nachos) and the drinks are so good! We ate at the bar and the service was top notch. Love this place!

Lucille was overall a good experience. The food was excellent, with cheese curds definitely being a must in the appetizers. We also got guacamole which was a good choice as well, but was a bit overpriced. In the main course, my friend and I shared a 14' build your own wood fired pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and hot honey. The pizza was amazing, and I would definitely recommend getting hot honey on almost any pizza. My team also got the wakey wakey eggs and bakey pizza with hot honey, which they also enjoyed. The atmosphere was also nice, and there was plenty of seating area both downstairs and upstairs. The only irritating part of the experience was customer service. Food did take quite long to come out, and while it was understandable due to the brunch/lunch rush, it was a bit excessive.

I wasn't expecting much given 1) it's Pizza in Wisconsin, and 2) I've been told the food is good without being great. On the latter, I was fine with that because it looked like a fun place and a great vibe, and a 4.0 yelp score to me generally says "pretty solid". So, the food was actually terrible. I am glad I didn't venture to try anything not pizza, but I was like really wishing I hit up Pizza Hut or a little neighborhood joint called Dahmeenos. I really wouldn't recommend eating here because the pizza was some of the worst I've had. On the flip side, the bar/restaurant has a great industrial vibe & decor to it. Fun music and such. Service was fine. If I was in Madison I would swing by for some drinks but would not consider food.

Food was okay, service just okay and slow, and we sat outdoors and that was our choice, inside looked cramped. Bit more pricey, have experienced better pizza jouintd

I came here about two years ago for my birthday, which is in early December with some family and I had a blast. I loved the festive Christmas atmosphere and the specialty drinks were absolutely delicious! They even came in these cute Santa mugs. It was crowded, but the service was good and we were served our drinks promptly. Unfortunately, it was a Saturday night and there was nowhere to sit, so I definitely would like to come back a bit earlier where I can check out the food and really soak in the ambience.

Great Detroit style pizza, the Standard is the best just tomato sauce, mozzarella & parmesan baked to perfection. Friendly staff, very cool place (use to be a bank), view is the capital and nice big booths the acoustics make it hard to hear if you have a large group. Parking ramps nearby otherwise of walking isn't an issue you can usually find street parking a few blocks away.

Lucille is probably my favorite spot to eat in Madison. I always get the Umami pie and the cheese curds because they're just too good to risk trying something else (although I'm sure the rest of their menu also hits). I also love their painkiller cocktail! Outside seating in the summer is immaculate, but the inside is vibey too.

I went to Lucillle for a late lunch and had to wait a couple minutes for the hostess to show us to our table. The seating outside added a great ambiance for the summer. The firewood pizza was extremely filling with fresh ingredients, the sweet chili peppers were balanced well with a slightly bitter taste from the charred broccoli rabe. The guac bowl also had a serving size bigger and deeper than I'd thought. My only suggestion would be having the homemade tortilla chips be more warm or salted because it didn't taste extremely fresh.

I'm all about service, and that was wonderful. The food was mediocre at best. That said, I would definitely give it a try another try because the cocktails were super fun and delicious.

I love going to Lucille! The sangria is delicious and I always try to sit on the patio (great for a summer night). Their date night special is such a good deal, just try to get reservations a few weeks in advance! I have celiac and Lucille does an amazing job at being transparent about that and they are so accommodating.

Best pizza in Madison and fun bar area. Only downside is it is very difficult to get a reservation and unless a group of 2, they often can not accomodate walk ins. Excellent beer list as well.

Visiting town. Was craving pizza. Ordered the umami (sp?) and it was fantastic. The staff at the front desk were super helpful in responding to me picking it up. While I briefly waited, I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance of the space. Will definitely come back!

I took out dinner from here on a Friday evening. Interior looked spacious and roomy. I went for a Luci's Harvest pizza and an Umami Pizza. Luci's Harvest is a thick pizza and takes 20 - 25 minutes to bake. It was also my favorite among the 2. Umami pie had a slight burnt veggie taste. For Yelp check in I got a free steel pan chocolate chip cookie. That was my absolute favorite here. The cookie was big, but I finished it in a single sitting. As I was taking out, I requested the ice cream removed from the dessert.

The food is average for wood fired pizza. It's pricey for drinks and average pizza. It's open inside and loud- I wouldn't recommend it for a small intimate romantic dinner. Our waiter wasn't great (lots of empty plates left on our table) after we finished appetizers. It's on the square so it's a fun location. We got a free desert for a birthday which was nice.

The vault was... underwhelming but it's truly just... the basement with a vault door. I mean it's cozy but super hyped up haha. The outdoor seating is bomb in the summer. The upstairs is fun too. Last time I went I went for their Wednesday night date night deal for $50. You get an app, a pizza, bottle of wine and dessert to share! We got: Guac - great mix of veggies and chips and the guac was more thick than other guava I've ever had LOL like a paste She's A-Maizing pizza - cheese was really good Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp - solid end to the meal, hard to get it down after so much yummy food! Vibes were pretty spectacular. When we went they had live Latin jazz. Was hard to not shake my a&8 as I ate my pizza. We sat at the bar to avoid the wait (came at like 7pm). It got pretty dang busy tho so it was tough to flag down the bartender that was serving us at times.

I wanted to give this place a 5 star rating so bad! However, there were a few things that just didn't hit for me. Since moving to Madison this past year, I've had Lucille on my bucket list of places to try. The location is prime time with awesome views of the capital building depending on where you're seated. To start, we had reservations and showed up a bit early so we decided to check out their underground cocktail lounge. This was surprisingly smaller than expected. I loved the concept but it was kind of ruined with the blaring hip hop music playing over the speaker. Now let's talk food. I think our eyes were bigger than our stomachs because we came in hot trying to order three empanadas, cheese curds, and a whole pizza for 2 people. Our waitress was super kind and let us know that the empanadas were on the bigger side so we opted for two instead. I'm not gonna lie the empanadas and curds came out extremely greasy. Everything was deep fried and obviously didn't get a much needed dry off after sitting in the oil. We loved the marinara that the curds came with. Out of the beef and chipotle chicken empanadas, we loved the chipotle chicken option! The empanada dipping sauce complimented that flavor nicely! The star of the show was our was our firewood pizza! We ordered The Queen style with added prosciutto and arugula. This was amazing! If you're looking for a quality pizza place and a little fine dining experience then definitely don't pass up Lucille. We will be returning to try some of their other firewood pizza options!

The food was very yummy and I enjoyed the atmosphere. The chairs were not very comfortable (as someone with wide set hips), but overall I had a great experience!

First the good. I came with a big party (16 people). We had to split up into two groups, but the restaurant was very accommodating and put us next to each other. The restaurant has very nice ambience and atmosphere. Service was good and all the staff were very friendly. The night we were there they also had live music so that was cool. As for the food, I thought it was pretty average. As someone who was coming from New York, my standards for pizza are going to be high. We ordered The Queen, Weekender, 6 Mile Classic, and Mediterranean. Out of those, my favorite was The Queen. So that's the one I would recommend. We also ordered a bunch of appetizers - guacamole, grilled shrimp skewers, burrata salad, beet salad, empanadas, and cheese curds. Again, none of those stood out to me.

Great atmosphere. Our server was friendly, helpful, and proficient. The pizzas we ordered were just amazing! We went around Christmas, so it was all decked out for the holidays. There's nothing better than sitting by the window with wonderful food, all nice and toasty, while it's snowing outside. I gotta say, I love their pizza. Can't wait for their next event!

We visited at 5pm on a Friday and the place was already packed! We were able to get a seat right away outside for two, but I'd recommend getting a reservation if possible. The drinks were fun, I tried one of the specials and it was delish. We got the not your mother's spaghetti Detroit style pizza and it was so good! It's definitely worth it to check out.

Very good & unique pizzas. Place is good for group gatherings and share different pizza flavors.

Such a fun atmosphere + great food! The umami pie was one of our favorites. We will be back!

The ambiance was very nice. Went with a few girlfriends for dinner. The food was very good as well, I got the special pizza (mozzarella and pesto), plain but good. We also had guacamole for appetizers and it was delicious! Service was a little slow but our server was nice. I recommend for date nights or a girls night out.
