Hey friends! This spot came highly recommended for a quick lunch spot near me. I was honestly surprised it was busy based on how great the food and service was! Lucia's is a small, Italian mom and pop spot featuring brick-oven pizza, house made sweet treats and a full service bar. I ordered a slice of cheese pizza to-go for lunch. AMAZING! Crispy bottom just how I love it. Cheesy was nice and gooey. All pizza is made-to-order, so I had about an 8-minute wait which was well worth it. It was so good I came back a couple days later and got a full box to-go! Customer service: super friendly Atmosphere: family-oriented, great for groups Prices: Average Plenty of free parking I wish they weren't so far from home! I hope you enjoy! read more

My family always orders pizza from here. On Tuesday they have half off pizza so it's super cheap. Definitely the best pizza in the area.

Cheap ingredients, filled with oil and grease. Taking a bite out of the pizza squirted oil across the table. Do not go here.

Monday is half price lasagna night. I have had several dishes and have not been disappointed. The service is okay, they could do a better job of checking on people. It has a great atmosphere read more

Simply continues to be excellent Italian food in the New York style. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with excellent service. read more

This restaurant never ceases to amaze me and every time the experience is memorable. This evening ordered the linguine with shrimp and friends at the table had chicken marsala and fettuccine alfredo. Food was hot and so delicious. The staff here is attentive and welcoming with Frank Sinatra playing in the background. Thank you for a delicious meal and look forward to returning soon! read more

Mixed thoughts. Lovely restaurant with lovely staff. But, I ordered cannelloni that was supposed to have broccoli, onions and mushrooms in addition to beef and tomato sauce according to their menu. But when I got it, it was beef and tomato sauce with spices. We had just completed a 10 mile bike ride so I was not in the mood to send it back to the kitchen. It was tasty, but I still missed the vegetables that they said would be in the entrée. read more

Great service by Sam. Enjoyed the bruschetta and arancini balls as appetizers. Spinach wedge and Caesar's salad were also excellent. Calzone and lasagna were top notch. Lots of space between tables. We were able to bring in our own birthday cake, which they served with coffee. Reasonable prices, easy parking. Lots of tasty leftovers. read more

I've had some good meals here, but I've also seen the attitude the two owners have copped (as others have seen) and unhappy staff. Unfortunately, that docks it one . One time I went in to get a 18" pepperoni pizza for takeout, and the one owner seemed annoyed that was all I was getting. Sorry, I was by myself and that was several good meals for me. read more

Excellent Italian restaurant; really stands out among the hordes of Italian eateries in VA/DC/MD area. Located in the quieter corner of a shopping plaza, it's a nice little getaway that also sells meats, cheeses, pastas, sauces, etc. There's a nice bar area and good wine/beer list, if a little short. Service is excellent and personable, and the food is EXCEPTIONAL. I had lasagna, and it's sooooooo good! This isn't our first visit; prior times I've had minestrone, appetizers, and pasta dishes - always excellent. Definitely a good neighborhood hangout, with great atmosphere and food. read more

We have always enjoyed the food... Subs, pasta, soup, etc.. all excellent and a decent price. Only thing I was ever disappointed with (and surprised about) was the Caesar salad... Usually take out so I can't report on ambiance and service. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Absolutely delightful food- best pasta I've had in a long time. The bread basket was so good, we ordered one extra. Beautiful and cozy evening. Highly recommended. Only thing that I felt that was the server was rushing us to order- other than that it was the perfect evening. read more

Service is great and we love the pizza. This is a place our family frequently orders out on Friday nights. Everyone that works there is very friendly and super helpful. The owner is wonderful and always enjoy the staff that delivers our food. A few times they have gone out of their way to deliver food even when it was outside their delivery time which was very kind of them. read more

Lucia's tasted like an authentic Italian Sunday dinner! I had the pasta e fagioli soup that's not pictured but was so good! The broth had so much flavor and the pasta and veggies were perfectly good. Honestly, I had to stop myself from buying and order to take home. The chicken parmigiana was huge and so delicious! The white pizza was probably the best white I've had in my 23 years of life!!! The service was amazing, very tentative, kind, speedy, and comforting and the restaurant overall made you feel welcomed into an Italian household. By far, a super recommendable place!! read more

Tried having a calm Friday night dinner. sat through a waitress loudly arguing with management. Then watched the two managers yelling at each other to calm down. Used to be a nice local restaurant, food quality has gone down and the ambience is horrible. read more

Im not even sure there is $1 worth of lettuce in this container. What a huge disappointment. How can you mess up a wedge salad... and the pancetta is all fat :( So gross. I can't even eat it. read more

My wife and I have struggled to find a good Italian restaurant after moving here from NY. This place has been by far our favorite. We haven't had a chance to eat inside but we've ordered a few different things to go now. Everything has been amazing! Lasagna, tortellini, pizza and penne Al vodka has all been great! I recommend if you're looking for some Italian food. read more

It's nice to have it as an option. Don't set the bar too high. Food is fine, service is fine, environment is fine. Just go in knowing it won't be you favorite place. read more

Wow great food, amazing nice place and employees are nice as well, beside the First Lady in the front when we entered who seemed like she did not want to see us everything else was great. A place to try read more

Went with my cousin and daughter. It was not crowded as it was weekday at noon, but wait staff was extremely in a rush to get us out. Our waiter and another person came to our table several times asking if we need a to go box. It was extremely annoying as they were in such a hurry to get us out. Not a friendly atmosphere. read more

I went there today and waited to be seated/welcomed and a man started shouting at me and my little kid for no reason!!! I was considering this place for catering an upcoming event and was there to talk about it and try it for dinner but I left shocked and disappointed. read more

Really loving this pizza, and the tortellini is great as well.

The convenience of Lucia's near Lowes Island has brought us here a few times. We've only done takeout at this point, but the service has always been fast and friendly. The food is consistently decent. I've had a Italian sub a few times there- its a good portion size with fresh deli meat, but its not as good as the Italian Store subs. Our daughter absolutely loves the spaghetti and meatballs and requests it often. Some of the other dishes we've had are standard Italian fare- good but not crave worthy. Its a good neighborhood spot that I'm sure we will continue to come back to. read more

Great food and lovely people. Always enjoy coming here with the family. Sicilian pizza is my favorite

Lots to choose from, calm and cozy ambience. Plenty of room to socially distance and enjoy your meal. Really nice server! read more

I love the ambiance of this place. It is truly Italian. My first experience with this restaurant was not dining. There was one of the employees (or owner, I don't know) sitting outside and asked me if he can help me with something. I asked if they sell prosciutto in the deli. He said he has no ready at the moment, but just went in and sold me a package they had sliced for the use in kitchen. I came back to buy prosciutto multiple time. It is delicious! One time we just did not feel like cooking and came for dinner. We were not disappointed and definitely will be coming back! read more

Lucia's - Eggplant parm - Pizza Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

I have been a customer of Lucia's since they opened and I love the food, the atmosphere, the wait staff are excellent! The negative review I have given in the past as well as other negative reviews posted by others is due to the Managers/Owners behavior and sadly, tonight is no different. I ordered a cocktail at the bar and I noticed the Waiter had to call Sam (an owner) to watch him pour the alcohol into my drink. Sam was at the front so the waiter had to take the alcohol from the bar so he could watch. Sam told him when to stop pouring. It took a second and he was admonished for "using too much alcohol". I can assure it was NOT too much or an over pour...I doubt it was even a shot and this was not because the Waiter is new (he's not). I thought I had seen this happen other times but wasn't sure until tonight. I don't even know what else to say. It does make one wonder what else are they skimping on. Sooo disappointing. read more

My wife and I have been going to Lucia's for the past 6 months on a regular basis. After last Thursday I don't think we will be going back. Like others who have reviewed, we had a run-in with the owner. I ordered Lasagna and a large salad and my wife and I decided to share since we both weren't very hungry. The Lasagna was terrible. Very little meat or noodles, and almost all of it was cheese. My wife decided she was going to let someone know we weren't happy. Just so happens that the first person to walk past our table was the owner. My wife said "excuse me sir, but I just wanted to let you know that this lasagna has very little meat. It is nothing but cheese." The owner grabbed a fork and started to poke around at our lasagna. He managed to find a few pieced of meat in the lasagna and rudely said, "There's a piece of meat, and there is another piece of meat. There is meat in this lasagna! We have been making the lasagna the same way for 12 years, and no one has complained!!" As we were almost finished eating he can back to our table with small little container with meat sauce, slammed it on our table, said "HERE," and walked away, his demeanor was so disrespectful.. On the positive side, the waiter was very nice and helpful. read more

This place is very family friendly! We have been going here since my daughter was a baby and she is about to turn 9!

We love Lucias- friendly staff, delicious pizza and trays of lasagna and love that it's a local business!

I did not know I was a pizza snob until I had Lucia's pizza. It is amazing. it is the real deal.

Excellent service! Family atmosphere! Great sandwiches, dinners and pizza! Top notch local spot!

This place is just phenomenal, we don't know what we'd do without Lucia's in our neighborhood. The food is fresh, made to order, custom friendly, and everything is always well prepared and just plain GOOD. I love it even more because it's family owned and operated, which you feel in every interaction with the friendly staff. Two thumbs up, keep up the good work guys! read more

Love, love, love this place!! The pizza is always amazing and the staff is always so amazing, and their selection of desserts is spot on! It has a nice cozy feel but is still clean and amazing. One of my favorite restauarants! read more

Lucia's won! We had a pizza shoot out over six weeks. We chose four independent pizza parlors from the surrounding area. These were "Non Box Pizza Chains". For four weeks we ordered two large pizza's. Ranking each pizza as it compared the week before. On the fifth week we chose the two lowest ranked pizzas to preform a face off. One pizza from parlor X and one pizza from parlor Y. On the sixth and final week was a face off with the two best pizza's. This was the Championship! One pizza from parlor B and one pizza from parlor A. The weight of Lucia's pizza was surprisingly much heavier than the other. Lucia's was the clear winner of the BEST pizza in Reston, Ashburn, Sterling, and Potomac Falls. read more

Good local restaurant always friendly and good service. Good comfort food for lunch or dinner

Popped in for take out last week; subs for the family. Have been here ages ago for dine in and enjoyed it, but it was a little pricey for us. Subs were more manageable. From the Chicken Parm sub to an on-the-fly request for shrimp salad sub (made fresh by the owner), everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dinner. The sides of fries and onion rings were great as well. Moreover, the friendly, quick and obliging service made our visit a treat. We will be returning! read more
