Luca Pizza Di Roma — Restaurant in Indianapolis

Luca Pizza: More "Letdown" Than Little Italy

Luca Pizza's online pics and glowing reviews had my stomach singing opera. Combo pizza and saucy meatballs? Sign me up! But reality crashed harder than a dropped calzone when I walked in.

The Meatball Mishap: Ordered those bad boys, lid perched like a nervous pigeon. One jostle later, boom! Bag became a Jackson Pollock painting of tomato sauce and mystery meat.

Hygiene Hijinks: I politely explained the carnage, expecting a "whoops, here's fresh ones." Nope. Cashier's face turned mozzarella-pale and they demanded I pay half my meal for THEIR mistake. Or, get this, eat the fallen soldiers out of the plastic bag! Seriously? Floor-grade meatballs wrapped in plastic? My inner Gordon Ramsay almost had a meltdown.

Greasy Exit: I left, hunger replaced by disappointment and betrayal. Luca Pizza, you're not just bad, you're an insult to pepperoni.

Verdict: Avoid this greasy mess like it's pineapple on pizza. Head elsewhere, pizza pilgrims. Your taste buds (and dignity) will thank you. Remember, pizza nights are sacred. Don't let Luca ruin yours.

They did let me get a refill without paying. I believe the business is family owned by a Mexican Latino family. Price for one meal for one person was $15. The kiosk reminds me of the old Sbarros. I...

I used to love getting food from here. I stopped because the men were talking about me and my coworker (we work in the mall) and calling us vulgar names in Spanish. I understand Spanish fluently and it was an awful experience. They should all be fired. No one from our store or some other stores will be back. It's a known thing amongst mall employees and a lot of customers. I used to tip them and I was really polite so I have no idea why they treated...
