Pizzeria da Felice

This place seems like a proper local pizza spot. It had been recommended a number of times however the negative reviews scared me a little but I was happy dealing with the "poor service" to try some of the highly rated pizza. As said in some reviews, we were asked to pay cash as a tourist, whereas the locals ahead of us paid by card. We didn't question it as it wasn't an issue for us and didn't want to upset the lady behind the counter, but she wasn't rude, just straight to the point. The pizza was great, the sauce was sweet and full of flavour with a crisp base. We ordered what we expected to be two slices of Margarita but we received two plates of two slices. You pay by weight here, not by the slice. So I expect we unintentionally ordered two portions of pizza. We also got a bottle of water and it came to €6.50. The price seemed more than fair, however I can't confirm if, as tourists, we paid a different price and that's why they wanted us to pay cash. The price on the menu at the time was €14/kg. So I think it's correct. The location is a small local spot. Not somewhere you'd stay for dinner, just grab a bite and go. Perfect for lunch or a snack.

If you like food on the go it’s great place to get Pizza while walking around Lucca. Very tasty pizza made in front of you and is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend to try their pizza

Great street food style pizza. Margarita definitely hit the spot.

enjoyed pizza and focaccia at this location. Despite some other reports, I had no problem paying with credit card. Pizza was hot and with good texture.

Best pizza in Lucca!!! Small and crowded, not a place to sit and have a long meal, but the Neapolitan style pizza and cecina are excellent. Note: cash only.

Nice place for a quick slice while visiting Lucca. The service is a little rough but the pizza was good and hot.

Best pizza in town!! Super quality for top prices. Very friendly lady that helps you. You can’t pay with card so bring cash but trust me every penny worth at this place

Delicious, quick lunch at an excellent price (15 euro for two of us, including sodas!) Loved that you could add any toppings to the focaccia and the pizza, and the cechina was great too. Staff very helpful.

We felt like staying in and having pizza and wine! This place was great for pizza to go. 23 euro for 2 large pizzas. Delicious!

Searching for an outstanding pizza place open at 5:30 we came to Pizzera da Felice. When we entered there were no customers as we ordered a whole pie with half and half spicy salami. Draft beer and Moretti are available along with soft drinks. By the time our pie arrived there was no room left in the tiny establishment, even the outside benches were full. People came in and out for a slice or two. Those who sat inside enjoyed a full pie. The pie has a thin crust and is exceptionally good. A coup,e next to us said they come here each year to eat the pizza all week. And we know NYC has some very good pizza.

This is a small pizza shop with cheap, quick and tasty pizzas. There are a few seats inside, but when I arrived there were no seats, so I sat outside on a couple benches connected to the storefront. They're pumping out pizzas like crazy and they have a pretty large menu actually, but I just got the simple and basic Margherita pizza, which is just tomato sauces and mozzarella cheese. You pay by weight, so I asked for one slice and they cut me what looked like two slices and a bit, it ended up being only 3€. It was hot and fresh, had a nice thin, firm and crispy crust with oozing cheese and tomato sauce. The sauce was a bit sweet and balanced nicely with the savoriness of the cheese. Overall, great pizza and I'd definitely come back again for a slice!

Terrible service, very rude lady spectacled staff who wasn't pleasant and welcoming at all. This is a hole in the wall with no place to sit outside except for tiny benches and little stools. Inside has only a row of bench table and 2 small table seating by the wall. The pizza is so so only, nothing spectacular. We had margherita, prosciutto and anchovies with capers pizza. It's affordable pricing, bigger slice than usual, thin crust. But I find lack of cheese and not too sure what is the crazy rave about on the reviews and by Lonely Planet. Closes at 2.30pm. And they take cash only.

Best pizza in Lucca. Fast service. Expect to find a crowd and expect to get your order fast. Order one slice of pizza (that is how you order) and don't forget to get some cecina, a chick pea flour based tortilla like. The place is tiny, and the inside is very 1970s which is charming. The family who runs it is friendly enough. It closed early so arrive before 7pm. The castagnaccio with ricotta is to try as it is a traditional dessert in Lucca!

I wanted to see what the hype was about. Thin crust, barely any cheese. I ordered a slice that was charged by weight. You get for what you pay - tomato sauce on bread with a sprinkle of cheese.

Average.. Not sure what all the fuss is? Came here because of the reviews. The pizza is a little bigger than normal round standard pizza and the price is quite good but the pizza overall is just average. We bought 3 whole pizzas and brought the rest home to our apartment (Diavola, Cheese and sausage). Remember its CASH only

In search of a trattoria that my husband forgot to write the name and address of, we came across this pizzeria because we were fumbling to get past all the people trying to get in! We came back to Pizza da Felice and ordered a few slices and they were delicious! Waiting time is short because they only make specific types of pizza. Inexpensive, quick, yummy and exciting! I put up some pictures, one of them being the storefront and am a little confused why the pizzeria is named "Pizzeria da Felice di Grazzini Marisa" on yelp and google, but "Pizza da Felice S. Volpicelli" on the store front.

One of our favorite places while in Lucca. It's not fancy by any means and don't expect lots of options with toppings, etc. just good, handmade, wood fired, pizza. We ate slices here for lunch one day & returned for a whole one the next to take away. Good quality, fast, and tasty!

When you walk in and see groups of forty-something business people, mid-twenties hipsters, and a bouncy five-year-old all enjoying the same pizzas, you know this place has a broad appeal. First off, it's cheap --- slices (cheese, prosciutto, and one other I forget) for a few euros; half or whole pies for only a few more. In our group, one hungry guy handled a half (~4 slices); I went for two slices worth of funghi (mushroom), some cecina, and a glass of wine. Ah yes, the cecina --- called farinata some places --- is a standout here. Hot out of the oven, crispy, savory, and a perfect counterpoint to the pizza. This will be my first meal next time I'm in Lucca!

I wish they had one of these places in San Francisco. So far my favorite pizza place away from home. It was simple and quite tasty. They sold the slice by weight. I also tried the garbanzo bean slice but did not care too much for it.

Great thin crust pizza the cheese they use taste great wood fired pizzeria in small alley by Via Filungo ,fast n cheap Always Crowded.

I can't place my finger on it but it's just the best pizza I've ever had. I traveled all over Tuscany with a 9 year old who only ate pizza and so I would get to try his leftovers and this was just inexplicably the best, eyes rolling to the back of my head good. I've only had the margarita pizza here but the sauce and cheese and crust are amaze-balls. It's a very tight fit inside the joint and you have to be ok with eating your slice standing up or at the one of a dozen high barstool seats. There are a few stools outside and always a steady crowd.

Best pizza in the World - especially quattro stagioni. We come here as much as we can, and part of Why we keep coming back to Toscana and Lucca.

Charming little hole in the wall...the closest I saw to something like an old school American pizzeria while I was in Italy. I think I paid 4 Euro and change for a slice of pizza, a piece of cecina (a must-try), and a glass of wine. The food was hot, fresh, and flavorful, and I wish I had had more of it! A great place to stop for a meal or a snack, especially if you don't have a lot of time for a long, sit-down meal. And even if you do eat elsewhere, save room to stop by Pizzeria da Felice anyway!

This place was great. Thinner crust than Napoli, but all the ingredients seemed very high quality and the execution was good.

We were walking around Lucca and saw that this place was crowded with locals, as well as tourists. So we figure the pizza must be good. We order a margherita pizza and a chick pea pizza. It came out of the oven, and all the locals were ordering the chick pea pizza, so we gave it a try. The pizza was really good, and the chick pea pizza was good too! Two big slices was only 3.89 Euro!

Delicious! Very small, friendly staff, lots of locals. Loved the pizza (margherita, prosciutto). The ceccina was very good - could go for one right now! Cash only.

Delicious pizza at a reasonable price!! Friendly staff. The address is actually Via Buia 12.

Small but charming. Pizza by the slice and an interesting choice of chestnut pizza with herbs! For a quick lunch break, this is recommended.

The crust is terrible, not hand made. It is clearly a factory crust. Service was ok. Poor selection of types of pizza. If you want a better pizza, try Pizzeria Mara Meo in Piazza San Francesco.
