LUCKY'S IS BACK!! The best pizza I've had outside of Italy--and I just got back from there. Accept no substitutes! Run, don't walk to Lucky's and see what Italy is like! Bella Italia--and Austin is lucky, too! read more

I'll eat puccia forever. Lucky is one of a kind. Incredible flavor and texture. So happy it's back!

Born and raised in Italy for 32 years before moved in Austin in 2018. So, I have known Lucky's Puccia since 2018, and after all these years, I can say something that is becoming increasingly rare in the restaurant business: the quality has never gone down. Not once. I also have had the pleasure of knowing Luciano, the owner, and that makes it easy to understand why Lucky's has remained so special. Luciano doesn't simply run a food business, HE puts HIS personality, HIS Italian roots, HIS standards, and HIS pride into what he serves. You can feel when someone genuinely cares about the food that leaves their kitchen and about the people receiving it. That has always been the case here. Over the years, restaurants change. Owners get comfortable. Portions change, ingredients get cheaper, service becomes less personal, and sometimes the passion that made a place successful in the beginning slowly disappears. That has never happened at Lucky's Puccias. Since I knew this place in 2018 until today, the food quality, freshness, flavors, attention to detail, and customer service have remained consistently at the top. If anything, the commitment has become even stronger. Luciano has maintained something that is extremely difficult to maintain for so many years: consistency without losing authenticity. And the food speaks for itself. This isn't food that feels mass-produced or designed by a corporate restaurant chain. It has character. It has tradition. It has that unmistakable feeling of something made by someone who actually cares about what they are putting on your plate. But what makes Lucky's special to me goes beyond the food. It's the hospitality. It's being remembered. It's the conversation. It's seeing the owner working, caring about every customer, and still treating people with the same enthusiasm after all these years. There is a human element here that you simply cannot manufacture. Being Italian myself, I probably have an even greater appreciation for businesses like this. Food in our culture has never been only about eating. It's about gathering around a table, sharing something made with care, talking, laughing, and creating memories. Lucky's captures that feeling. I've watched this business continue through the years while many others have come and gone, and I believe there is a reason for that. When you refuse to compromise on quality, when you genuinely respect your customers, and when you continue showing up with passion year after year, people notice. Luciano, you should be incredibly proud of what you have built. Eight years of knowing Lucky's, and eight years of the same conclusion: outstanding food, outstanding service, and genuine passion behind it. GRAZIE!!! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 read more

The pizza here is amazing!! As someone who walks around Town Lake often, I'm thrilled for Lucky's to have reopened at this location! It's the perfect spot for lunch. There's outdoor seating, fantastic food, and great service. Excited to go back and try their sandwiches! read more

Good Italian-themed pizza. While the small-sized pizzas were more akin to the flatbreads (no puffy edges), they were tasty. Not sure if the larger pizzas come out differently, but either way, the crust is not something you'd want to skip or change here. Ordered the Speck 'n' Funghi pizza (aka dry-cured prosciutto and mushrooms), and the ingredients shined. There was an earthy and nutty flavor that was both fragrant and pleasant. They have other traditional Italian flavors, like diavolo, capricciosa, etc. I'm tempted to try their tiramisu next time. I would be more than happy to order one of their pizzas or sandwiches (made with the same dough) again, and even be happy to come back here also for their well-regarded happy hour. read more

That's why I named it after myself." for $8.50 it's a drop in the bucket for the awesome sandwich with prochuto, arugala, tomato, subbed the motsarella for ricotta salata and the chilpoltle aiole. It took less thank 10 minutes for two to arrive. "Simple food that's fresh and good" straight from the masters mouth. Rock on and thank you for making mine just for me.

Wow. Just wow. Service was friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was spot on - the soundtrack was from the late 80s early 90s and I LOVE that! Aside from that, our food was spectacular. We had the Sausage Pizza, a Hot Pastrami Sandwich and a Rustica Salad. Great flavors, great portions. We like to share our plates and the three were perfect for us! The woman who served us recommended what to get (our favorite way to order) and it was great! Loved the window seats facing 5th street, just wish the chairs were slightly more comfortable (and thats being picky). Next time, we are trying the Paisano! Highly recommend! read more

This place is amazing. The puccias are bursting with flavor and well priced. I loved the hot pastrami puccia the most but the lucky's was good too. Lots of arugula, which I love. The truffle fries are great, although they may be a bit oily. The pizza was pretty good, I like how it is baked in a brick oven. The staff is nice but when I went, there was an employee complaining the *entire* time about her coworkers who weren't there. Very loudly. Lucky seems passionate about his food and it shows. I love this place. Will definitely come back. read more

I lived in Italy for years and I really missed the food (duh). Most Italian in Austin is fancy Italian, which is uncommon even in Italy. I don't need truffles in everything and a well-coiffed waiter to explain the nuance, I just need the kind of pizza you can order at any pizzeria on the street in Naples. This is the place. Lucky's is one of the most underrated restaurants in Austin. You can't get bread more freshly baked than coming out of the oven and right onto your plate. The food is consistent and consistently awesome. Chewy southern Italian pizza crust with just the right amount of crunchy bits, loads of gooey cheeses. The crust is just perfect. It's the most important part of a pizza and they've got it spot on. I just can't write this review and not go there for lunch. My friend and I go to Lucky's when we are starving and order a pizza Diavola, a "Lucky's Puccia" and a small PB&J puccia (leave me alone, i'm 5 on the inside and the peanut butter gets deliciously gooey on the freshly baked bread). Then we cut everything in half and split it. It makes me as happy as food can make me, which is pretty darn happy. Lucky and his staff deserve a mention, too. They are kind and hardworking. Great culture. read more

A simple and great place for good traditional Italian flavors. I have had the wine, the appetizers, the sandwiches, and pizza here and they have yet to let me down. I have found that if you come here on a weekday around 5pm to 6pm it is right in that "sweet spot" as people are going home and there are minimal crowds. The Italian air cured meats here are really great and they match well with the house reds. Definitely a nice little quaint destination spot to meet with friends and have some good food. It's not truly intimate, but it is nice and quiet. read more

Sometimes you find you're at your wife's new hair salon on W. 5th, watching the magic happen, when a friend chimes in on your checkin. "Hey, you're right next to Lucky's Puccias!" Why, yes, Mihir. I am! Ever since Jenny L.'s 2013 ode to Lucky's original downtown food truck, set to Blondie's "One Way or Another" (Who can forget: "...I'm gonna puccia puccia puccia puccia"), I'd always wanted to try Lucky's sandwiches. But the stars never aligned. Fast forward to last Friday late afternoon, and I found I was 50 steps away from the newish brick-and-mortar during Happy Hour. The beauty of happy hour is that they do mini slider-sized versions of the puccia sandwiches, and single serving pizzas. So, for twenty bucks and some change, we got to sample a Margherita Pizza, a Lucky's puccia (prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato, and arugula), a Vegetariana puccia (with fontina cheese and avocado, but highlighted by that artichoke pesto), and a half-price glass of house chianti. The sandwiches were what I expected them to be. Couldn't think of a way to improve either one. The pizza reminded me of one of my favorite local pies (that's Baris' in Pflugerville, not those over-hyped places in town). Lucky knows his doughs. But the surprise of the evening was, of all things, the salad. My wife's stylist recommended "that salad with the caramelized mushrooms". I'm sure she meant caramelized onion, and roasted portabello and red pepper. I don't know what's in that dressing exactly (it was a classic balsamic vinaigrette), but that salad was the perfect balance of sweet and bright. It puts the pricier salads (even adding a buck for sliced avocado) at other places to shame. The register staff was friendly, and, well, easy to look at. But, Lucky only said bye to us on our way out. I was severely disappointed. I'll be back every six weeks to accompany my wife to her hair appointment. Maybe if, like many other reviewers mention, we get more attention from Lucky himself, I'll raise my rating. But for now, I'll keep it at: 4.9 stars. ;) Well done, Mr, Lucky. read more

I dined in for dinner during their soft opening and returned the following week when lunch service kicked off. First things first Lucky is a very passionate hard working guy. I watched him in the kitchen, helping out his team and greeting customers. He does a wonderful job preparing Italian cuisine while sourcing many ingredients locally. Also many of the ingredients are organic. The restaurant added salads, antipasti, pizzas and desserts to the menu. I tried a slice of three different pizzas, Lucky's signature puccia, a few bites of antipasti and for lunch a salad. I must say all were good but the puccia takes the cake! Their dense chewy bread makes for the ultimate sandwich. Lucky's puccia has prosciutto, fresh tomato, delicious mozzarella, fresh arugula and a hint of heat from the chipotle aioli. What I really love is you can order a half size of any sandwich and their salads are very healthy. The pizzas I tried were the capricciosa, napoletana and the crudo & arugula. The capricossa with tomatoes, mozzarella, ham, spicy salami, mushroom, artichokes, olives was my favorite. I love the flavor combination. The napoletana was also very good and flavorful with tomato, mozzarella, anchovies, capers and orgeano. The crudo & arugula was a nice mix of prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato and fresh arugula. The pizza crust is nice and crispy on the outside and softer at the center. They serve Italian wines and and bottled beer which of course goes great with the pizzas. They have two salads on the menu and offer a build your own option. I just got done working out and wanted a nice light lunch. I ordered the rustica salad. This gorgeous salad has fresh mixed greens, creamy mozzarella, mushrooms, marinated red peppers and red onion. The salads are not monstrous and make for a perfect light lunch or pair it with a puccia for a heartier meal. Their is ample parking in the parking garage behind the restaurant. Lucky's Puccia is conveniently in the same complex as my workout studio so you can bet I will not be a stranger. Tips: Grab bar seating facing the custom made oven if you can. The small patio is dog friendly. read more

After reading several great reviews on Lucky's I got really excited to try this place out, and one cold weekend night I head over to find the small trailer, very close to Whole Foods. In the overall big picture I think I'm with Dan G's consensus. My Lucky's Puccia sandwich was really good, it hit the spot, it was full of taste and quality ingredients. It wasn't out of this world but it was very good. It's the premium price that just doesn't add up for me - - my medium-sized sandwich cost $9.20, including tax, not including sides or a drink. It had a few slices of prosciutto w/ cheese, some greens and basil oil. I just didn't feel I got enough return on investment. I think $6-7 range would be a fair assessment. If I'm going to pay that much for a sandwich I expect a little more of the good stuff. After I had them a $10 bill and get 80 cents back, I look down at my sandwich and all I could think about was that 80's Wendy's commercial with that little old spunky lady who cries: "Where's The Beef?". If quality is your thing and price doesn't matter, then by all means go for it. Their quality is good, but for me I'm looking for more bang for the buck. Service was good, almost business like, but nothing over the top friendly. For 10 bucks I'd even consider some comedy skit or singing in addition with my sandwich- - that would fill me up in a jiffy. So in my book, very good quality + extremely high priced = feeling unfulfilled = A-OK. read more

I loved Lucky's Puccias as a food truck but the weather prevented me from getting there half the time. I was so happy to learn they were opening a brick and mortar. We headed there for lunch after drooling over the menu for about a week. We had the Rustica salad and the Capriciosa pizza. The salad... just full of awesome veggies. It was so yummy that we ate almost all of it before even getting to the pizza. If you know me at all, this is a minor miracle because I love (love) pizza. The pizza itself was perfectly garlicky, stretchy crust, super foldable. The toppings were kind of sparse IMHO but again, first days. LP's is a solid lunch spot with salads that wont quit and a pizza that tastes authentically Italian. I think it's high time we had an Austin pizza showdown. read more

I had an opportunity to meet up with a couple of GFs here last week for lunch. While one of them actually selected the place, I was a bit ho hum about the selection as I thought to myself that this would be one of those empty carb-laden pizza lunches that would leave me filled with regret and sleepiness for my food choices. WOW - was I way off. Lucky's Puccias & Pizzeria is not just a pizza joint. They make Puccias, which are sandwiches with, wait for it...... wood fired flat bread made from pizza dough. Huh? What? B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T! Ta Da! I quickly scanned the yelp reviews of some of my peeps and saw that Amy D had recommended the Lucky's Puccia. This seemed to be the most popular of the puccias with prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato, arugula, and a spicy Chipotle aioli artfully sandwiched between two pieces of that delicious flat bread. $9 will get you a sandwich enough for two, but cut that price in half and add a quarter, and $4.75 will get you a half sandwich on a puccia baked just for that size. I accidentally ordered the whole one, while one of my dining companions ordered the half. It was all good - because I got to take that other half (eh 1/4) piece home for later goodness. In addition to the puccias, we ordered the Vegetariana appetizer which came with a selection of cheeses (we got Parmesan, brie, feta and fresh Mozzarella), olives (including my fav - Castelvetrano olives), and grilled veggies (zucchini, eggplant, red peppers, cherry tomatoes, Portobello mushrooms, and balsamic caramelized onions). It was served up with wood fired toasted triangles of that delicious Puccia bread. We finished every morsel on that plate. In addition to the Puccia menu, they offer a selection of pizzas, salads, and desserts with the opportunity to build your own pizza or puccia. They have a charcuterie/cheese/olive plate served with the delicious puccia bread on the appetizer menu called the Di Terra. They also offer daily specials. You can choose from a small selection of affordable wine or beer, and other bottled beverages to wet your whistle. As for me, I will never judge a place with "pizza" in the name again. I might just miss out on some wood fired magic. Fast forward to the end of the same week: I kept thinking about that sandwich and the bread so much, that Friday, after a day spa visit (with my mom) a few doors down at Hiatus, we walked on over to get a half Lucky's Puccia and an order of the Puccia bread to go. The Puccia bread is just $3 for an order which is the size of a Lucky's Pizza, made to order then cut into triangles. The bread was to be served on the 4th with Hummus, and most of it made it there, although a couple of those warm delicious pieces magically disappeared into our mouths on the drive home. Moral of this story: You may never want pita again when you can get lucky with some warm Lucky's Puccia. read more

She's Lucky Puccia's, she's a star and I cry cry cry for her Austin-only Italian wood sandwiches. When people think of Italian food, they always think of heavy pastas with rich sauces that will put you to sleep whilst adding inches to your waistline. Enter in this trailer attached to the Tiniest Bar in Texas. They provide light yet fulfilling sandwiches. If you want to try multiple sandwiches, they have a half/small order. Seizing this option, I ordered both the Luckys and Contadina. The former sandwiched proscuitto, mozzarella, arugula, tomato, and basil oil. The latter contained turkey, provolone, arugula, tomato, and olive tapenada. The ingredients were farm fresh and fantastic. However, the star of the show is the homemade bread. The wood fire makes it crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. The dough tastes more like the crust of its Italian brethren, pizza, than it does Mrs. Baird's bread. read more

I love the new Lucky's brick and mortar location (right across the street from Don's Depot) - on a Friday night I can see myself grabbing a couple of cocktails at the Mean Eyed Cat (HH) & then grabbing a couple pizzas after at Lucky's to finish the night. I've been a little obsessed with trying every prosciutto and arugula pizza in Austin and Lucky's did not disappoint. Perfect thin slices of prosciutto (perfectly salty) and fresh arugula on their wonderful (homemade crust). Their salads are freshly made with my favorite cheese - mozzarella. I've heard raving reviews about their Puccias and after seeing them abundantly passed out during lunch time I could see why they were so popular - they look so yummy! You won't have to worry about finding a place to park - there is ample parking in the garage behind Lucky's and on the street in front the building. read more

GOD BLESS THE ITALIANS AND THEIR INNOVATIVENESS. Straight off, lemme tell you about my love for carbs. It extends to the moon and the stars, and beyond to all other planets. This place has my heart, solely for their divine carbs. Their puccias are basically sandwiches that consist of pizza dough as bread. PIZZA dough. Can you imagine?? Perfectly crispy on the outside, and delightfully chewy on the inside. You can almost feel the gluten just springing back when you chew. Okay, enough about the carbs. I've had their Lucky's Puccia and the Porketta puccia. For me, the Lucky's is my favorite and a definite winner winner prosciutto dinner. It's basically fresh mozzarella, arugula, and prosciutto encased in magical pizza dough--basically pizza, but better. The freshness of the ingredients just pair so well with the freshly made puccia dough (it's made after you order!). The porketta is pretty good too, but it's just not as good as the Lucky's. Like most of the reviews say, this place is a bit on the pricier side. The Lucky's is around $10, and depending on how much you like to eat, it can be just enough to fill you or not enough. I'd definitely say you're paying for quality, not quantity. Also, the service is really great here. I think the guy at the cashier is usually the owner? He's really knowledgeable and friendly, and gives you pretty good suggestions, if you ask for them. Make sure to go on Thursday's for their $5 specials! It only applies for 3 of their puccias, but worth it for the puccia bread. Also, it's located on 5th, which is a one-way street (heading east), so good luck finding parking! read more

I work near this area and there's very limited eating options that's walking distance so it's nice to have this place around. The puccias are huge. The ingredients feel extra fresh like they go out in some hidden garden and pluck them out just for you. I generally go with the vegetarian options so Rustica, Vegeariana or Primavera are usually on my rotation list. My only gripe is that the bread feels too dry sometimes and occasionally comes charred but that has generally been the exception and not the rule. Lately, I've been made aware of the mini puccias which is 1/2 the size with 1/2 the price! That and a drink and chips make for a pretty affordable lunch. The pizza's are really good albeit pretty pricey for what feels like a personal sized pizza. Have had no issues with the service and they have a small little patio outside to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. They also carry wine which I haven't tried (I don't really get to try this stuff during my lunch breaks lol) and Pellegrino soda which is an Italian brand of mineral water with interesting fruit flavors. I've been meaning to try the Nutella puccias but haven't yet had the chance to do us. Well, that leaves something to write about next time... read more

There was ample free parking along the store front, as well as the parking garage behind which I liked right away. That in itself is a rarity for Austin joints. The inside is small with about 15 or less tables, and you order at the counter. They will give you a number and then bring your food once it's ready. We started with the Diterra appetizer which the menu said was a selection of cold cuts, cheeses, olives, and bread. Both my grandma and I love olives so we were excited but then saw none once the plate came. I guess they use whatever they have that day because ours had more meats than anything, a few grape tomatoes, 4 teeny tiny balls of mozzarella, shaved cucumber, and pieces of thinly sliced mushrooms. It was good, I just wish it had more cheeses and olives instead of mushrooms and vegetables. We also got two pizzas and that along with the appetizer was more than enough food for the three of us to share. The first pizza was a classic Margherita and very good, but the second by far was the favorite all around and that was the Diavola which had mozzarella, tomato, and spicy salami. Yum! It's not overly spicy, more of a subtle spice about the heat level of a pinch of red pepper flakes. I noticed they had my favorite dessert ever, tiramisu, but I was way too full by the end of the meal to order it. Their pizzas are all made in a brick oven, and there is just something about a brick oven pizza that can't be beat. I would love to come back and try the salads and sandwiches (and that tiramisu). They have wine and beer here as well as sodas. They even have a pizza with French fries on top! There is something for everyone here read more

Good food and an exceptionally friendly owner make this place what it is. Yes pizza and sandwiches are not the hardest things to make but loving to serve people that otherwise are judging you're every move isn't easy. Plus if you go about every week making fresh pizza dough and bread at home I commend you. Otherwise this place has some very fresh and simple well developed textures and flavors. Nothing out of the ordinary I'd just say it's made rite. I shared a rustica salad w/prosciutto, a small # 3 lucky puccia sandwich and a regular size custom pizza with my wife. I will definitely be back,all our food was delicious. We mixed mozzarella and fontina cheese on the pizza to give it an extra gooey touch I would highly recommend trying this. read more

I am a virgin. Yes, it's true, I wouldn't lie about something like this, it's to important to me since I want to share how I got my Food Trailer Cherry popped. It won't be as sexy as Keri B's could possibly make it, but I will do my best to keep your interest. I have made several comments to folks that know me that I would not eat at trailers. I enjoy the entire restaurant experience. Seating at a table in a climate controlled environment, being waited on and interacting with the chefs as I love to do at Barley Swine and Foreign and Domestic. But sometimes, at 9pm at night, you have no choice but to follow the crowd you are with. I was forced to give up my virginity due to peer pressure. Sound familiar? I was with some buds at the tiniest bar in Texas and there was a general feeling of hunger.. I suggested heading over to Whole Foods market and I would cook for folks, however everyone had already spied Lucky's and picked me up and dragged me kicking and yelling to my food paranoia. I stood there pouting while Suzie and her two friends ordered our meal. A classica, veggie, and a couple of others which at this point I can't remember. It was inexpensive and then we sat down outside and waited. Before I knew it, our meal was ready to go. I looked at my sammy and took a huge bite. I was truly impressed with the crunch the bun gave me and really liked the baby spinach tossed on top. The cheese and prosciutto came together very well and it was a nice lite dinner. I'm sure the hip stoners and drinkers will really love this place and if I find myself at tiny bar again, I'll probably have another. Then why A-OK only.. well I still prefer to sit in a proper restaurant have some wine and be waited on.. and that is probably why I will never be a huge fan of trailer food. But that is just me as they seem to be very popular these days... read more

The sandwiches here are much more filling than I expected and every bit as amazing as the reviews on yelp have spoken. It's hard to pinpoint what kind of bread this is (kinda a ciabatta), but what I do know is it's freshly baked, with good crust and charring. And the fillings are packed with explosively good flavorful classic flavors. I spliit half with a friend of the Lucky and the porketta and both were awesome. The chipotle aioli goes a long way to bring some richness to the sandwich. The porketta particularly is amazing melt in your mouth tender and packed with flavor. The lucky's salty prosciutto with creamy mozzarella is great too. Also if you're a fries fan, they have very thin, crisp, fresh hot fries with the aioli as a dipping sauce too. The owner is really nice. He greets people as if they're long time friends and its clear that he's endeared to many of his patrons. read more

Their signature sandwich the 'Lucky Puccia' is EPIC! The bread is unbelievably good (baked in a wood oven in the trailer) and the mozzarella, arugula and prosciutto were all very fresh. Finally, the basil oil dressing brings it home! I cant wait to go back and try some of their other choices. TIP: They dont seem to answer the phone so it is hard to call in your order in advance but they move pretty quickly so don't let that stop you from just going down there and ordering in person.

Lucky's Puccias - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Consider yourself lucky if you're downing one of these puccias. I'm not in Austin often nearly as I would like, and admittedly Lucky's Puccias was low on my list of "interesting places to try" on my latest visit. But it was close by to our current location and was noted as open, so we tried it. Thank the heavens we did. A puccia, heretofore unknown by me, is a southern Italian sandwich with a homemade bread that's almost pita-like in texture. Lucky's is run by two Southern Italians, so they know exactly what they're doing. As for the puccia, it's a soft, thin bread that provides the perfect carb intensity to a packed sandwich. We went with the primavera special and the contadina. Both the greatest things since, and in between, sliced bread. The primavera was salted ricotta, tomato, arugula and olive oil with a chipotle aioli. The ricotta was superb, complimented by the crunchy tomato and slightly bitter greens, with a southwestern-esque aioli. The sauces are designed by Lucky's wife, a native Texan, and thus the Lone Star vibe. The contadina was even better, with turkey, provolone, arugula, tomato, and an olive tapenade that puts muffaletta olive salads to shame. The olive concoction is so delightfully tasty, salty and tangy, it will literally make your eyes roll into the back of your head in pleasure. The sandwiches range around $7 to $8, which is a steal when you consider what you're paying for those shoddy paninis over at Panera Bread. There's ample seating next to the Tiniest Bar in Texas, a friendly smile that greets you when ordering, and a touch of Italian flair in a trailer, no less. I almost wish I cared for prosciutto, because the signature Lucky's Puccia is supposed to be out of this world. read more

WTF, mate? Toasted almonds on my pizza? Get the fugoutta here. (repeat in horrible 70's mob accent) The Capricciosa was a fine piece of work Lucky. Didn't realize what that little bit of crunch could do a pizza but it was definitely something I crave now. Now that my initial reaction has been recorded, I'll get to the review. I've been a patron of Lucky's for about 4 years now and have not been disappointed ever. His service is stellar and he makes you feel like he's inviting you to his home. Good home cooked food with family friendly service. His food always makes me want more. That BREAD THOUGH. So good. I've had the above pizza and the Margerhita. Once again, the burn on the crust from the brick oven solidifies the pizza. Crunchy, thin, and holds the fresh ingredients like an edible plate should. The sandwiches hold the same quality as he's always maintained so try everything. Best piece of advice, Lucky does some insane happy hours so definitely try it out if you can get into downtown at the right times. read more

The wife and I stopped by here recently for some puccias and damn they were good! The food here definitely falls into the "you get what you pay for" category or at least that is how I justified the bill because you are paying for hand-crafted bread with ultra high-quality ingredients. I can't afford to eat here everyday but when it comes to sandwiches, Bread Matters - you won't be confusing Luckys with Subway. Wonderful! read more

Came here with a friend for lunch. I got the Lucky Puccia (pronounced like pu-cha) and she got the The bread is delicious and the proscuitto, arugula, and mozzarella go very well together. My friend got the Puccia Vegetariana and it looked really good too since I'm a fan of avocados. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is that the size of the sandwich doesn't really justify the price. I could easily eat two of these but that would make it a ~$20 meal. The owner's a pretty cool and friendly Italian guy that will always allow the guy to pay so ladies don't be afraid to offer to pay if you're here with a guy because he will take the guy's card without question. There's plenty of parking around on the neighborhood streets and Starbucks/Whole Foods is a stone's throw away, which is perfect for a coffee addict like me. read more

We drive all over Austin looking for great pizza. We have ranked our favorite pizza places 1 to 10, and we thought we were pretty much settled on the top 5 ... then we tried Lucky's about 6 months ago. We immediately bumped all of our favorite places down a notch, and placed Lucky's #1 !!! In the past 6 months, we've been back to Lucky's about a dozen times ... every salad, every pizza and every puccia have been awesome. Lucky serves wine from Taranto, in Southern Italy, where he grew up. Try the Primitivo (red) ... very good stuff! Being creatures of habit, as most of us are, we've settled on our favorites: for puccias, the Hot Pastrami and the Lucky's; for pizza, the Capricciosa (with toasted almonds), the Crudo and Arugala, the Speck & Funghi, and the Diavola are da bombs!!! The service has always been 5 star (for a pizza place! lol). The food arrives quickly. The staff is attentive, but not intrusive! Most of the time Lucky is there, and he's constantly moving through the dining room to make sure each and every customer is having a "5 star" experience. It's obvious that Lucky sincerely cares about his customers and the quality of his food. Fast forward to last Saturday evening ... as always, the pizzas were amazing! We enjoyed the Vegetation and Rustica salads, followed by the Crudo & Arugala and Speck & Funghi pizzas. We're not usually super big eaters, but each of us almost finished a whole pizza. That says it all ... The one negative thing I can say about the meal is that I was very disappointed with the lack of leftovers!!! A side note ... we recently took my in-laws to eat at Lucky's. Both are in their 90s, and one can barely walk. So, it's a big deal when they get out of the house. And, they are both super picky eaters. They're asking when can they go back! LOL If you haven't been to Lucky's ... you gotta go! read more

I've loved the trailer for a while, so I couldn't wait to try Lucky's new pizza shop. Came with the boyfriend their first week open and we ordered a Margherita (with basil pesto!) and a Napoletano so we'd have leftovers for the next day. (Pizzas were a good size--one could be shared by 2 especially if you add on an app/salad or go for dessert.) Both were fantastic. Crust is crisp and thin and slightly chewy, cheese is melty and salty, and toppings are fresh as can be. They also have some awesome beers and wine to go with your meal. I had a glass of the Primativa and my guy got to try a new beer from Save the World brewery out of Marble Falls. I love that it's counter-service, so you don't have to deal with the fussiness of waiting to be seated or servers. Is it weird that sometimes I just want to eat good food in my gym clothes and not be waited on? That being said, their staff was very nice and attentive and came around to offer water/clear our plates, so it's kind of the best of both worlds. I heard talk that they may start doing a happy hour sometime, so definitely looking forward to that with some friends, as counter-service places are the best for splitting tabs with minimal math. Hopefully there will be a prosecco option in time for HH! :) Can't forget the dessert. We tried two that night--there was a chocolate lava cake (with an Italian name I can't remember), and a creme brulee with mint. Both were awesome, but I'm a chocolate kind of girl, and we were thisclose to licking the plate clean. I love good pizza and Lucky's is definitely getting added to my regular rotation. You can see the love he puts into his food, and his genuine passion for ingredients is something I really enjoy seeing in a chef and owner. In between working the ovens, Lucky came by to check on his customers, and told us how the olive oil he uses is sourced 10 miles from his hometown! I mean seriously, how cool is that? read more

How is this possible to have THIS come from a truck!? I absolutely loved that bread - just the right amount of saltiness, sweetness - warm, fresh, great texture! Oh, sooooo goood! it really doesn't matter what's inside that sandwich - I think that bread can make everything taste good. Oh, and... they have a Nutella sandwich!!! Do you even want to ask me if I will be back? I am just happy we don't have one in San Fran, otherwise that would be go to for lunch, breakfast, dinner, snack, dessert, aftermeal, foremeal, 3 o'clock meal - you get the idea! :) read more

Lucky's Puccias - Lucky's Puccias - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Don't get me wrong, these will do in a pinch if you're craving a nice, warm sandwich after some time at Tiniest Bar or a night out. But as just a sandwich trailer, it's good-not-great and the high prices just aren't justified in my opinion. The bread is unique, warm and crispy. (I don't want to sound like a pretentious a-hole, but here we go) But this was my least favorite Puccia-style bread I've ever had. There wasn't a lot of flavor, and the texture was a little off. They've also updated their menu, and seemed to generic-ify it a little more. We tried both the Turkey and Veggie. Veggie was standard fare. Turkey was average, aside from the olive tapenade, which completely overwhelmed the sandwich, making it very briny. It'll do in a pinch, but I wouldn't make the pilgrimage just for the sandwich. read more

They get 5 stars for flavor and service. But I just think given the size of the servings (without sides) that every thing is about 1.75 to 2.00 overpriced. The bar they are behind is cool enough to let you chill and eat inside. read more

We ventured downtown this past weekend in spite of it being the first weekend of SXSW. Amazingly, the traffic was fine and we found parking very easily. The inside of the restaurant was well appointed - not extravagant, but nice. Very clean lines and overall very appealing. We were greeted by Lucky himself and he happily explained the menu and made suggestions. We ended up ordering 2 Lucky's and 1 margherita pizza. We also ordered 2 glasses of wine that Lucky said was made in his hometown in Italy. The wine was wonderful! Crisp and light and perfect for the sunny summer day we were having. The pizza came out first and visually it was beautiful! Our son was in town and was with us and we all three grabbed a slice and tried it. I will say that this is probably one of the best, if not THE best pizza I have ever tasted. I don't know what it was about it, but it was just fantastic! The cheese was melted, there was fresh mozzarella scattered across it, and the crust was just perfect! I will come back just for the pizza if not for anything else! My husband and I shared the Lucky sandwich and my son had one of his own. It came out piping hot and it looked divine. We all tried the sandwich and, let me tell ou, it was worth the drive from Round Rock! My son, whom I have NEVER seen eat a tomato on a sandwich, at this sandwich in it's entirety. It had prosciutto, arugula, fresh mozzarella, and a chipotle aioli. OUTSTANDING! Lucky came by to check on us a couple of times. He's such a nice man and very personable. You can tell he genuinely cares about his business and his customers. Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful experience and one of the best meals I've had in Austin. We will definitely be back! Try this place out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Although I showed up 20mins after they closed the chef didn't hesitate to fire back up the grill for me.... I had a nice Tommy Boy, "Tommy want wingy." Moment. The food is insanely good! Took off a star only for an inconvenient parking situation and being underneath a construction zone. But still very worth it! read more

Lucky's Puccias - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Mediocrity abounds when your claim to fame on your wall is a pun about cunnilingus. It's worse when you can't actually distinguish the words "puccia" (some sort of Italian bread) and "pizza" which is what I actually ordered. So I end up with a sandwich that's exactly the same as the pizza because they have the exact same names/descriptions for different foods. They also used a sharp tasting gorgonzola on a 4 cheese pizza margherita which really didn't work. read more

What I had: - Porchetta (mini): Man, this thing really is mini, and for the price, and the difference between the regular price/size, this really should be priced lower. The bread is thankfully not as dry as a typical pita pocket, which is great! The bread aside, the sandwich itself was just kinda fine. It's a solid sandwich but kind of on the ho-hum side. And for the price, I'd rather go somewhere else. After taking a look a the limited menu at the Congress location, I probably won't be back. read more
