Stopped by on our way up to visit friends and we were blown away but how good Pizzeria Luba is. A true gem all around! We sat at the bar, so service was lowkey & no frills. The Caesar salad might have the best we've ever had. We shared 2 gluten free pizzas that were outstanding, also might have been some of the best GF pizza we've had. Can't wait to return when we're back in the area!

Fun place to hangout. Great employees, tasty food. We ate the Margarita pizza and the foggy dew mushroom pizza (my favorite). Also had a Cesar salad piled high with Parmesan snow. Drank the Almanac pale ale. Saw other diners ordered the meatballs. They looked delicious, so I plan to order them on my next visit. Which will probably be soon.

Stopped in for an early dinner. auburn was hopping that day with a 100 mile race attendees and their many fans! Staff were very friendly, food portions are a good size, pizza's are enough for 2 to share. The Caesar salad was delicious as well. We had the mushroom pizza, out of this world good and tasty. Margarita pizza decent but not my fave, anxious to try the other great sounding pies next time!

Foggy Dew Mushroom pizza with sausage!  Yum.

The best Pie in town. Had the foggy Dew pizza with sausage! Yummmy. Chef Cory has his dough down perfect and crispy just the way we like it!

We arrived on a Saturday around 4:30pm, we scored a parking spot in their lot. We were seated right away without reservation and the service was outstanding from the jump. We ordered foccacia bread with balsamic vinegar, oil, and garlic dip. The foccacia was amazingly soft and had a delicious hint of rosemary...dipping it in the sauce made it extra delicious. It was so good, we decided to order another loaf and dipping sauce. We ordered 3 different pizzas to split among 4 people - the bonci (sausage, baby kale) , the foggy dew mushroom, and the cotto (salami). The server mentioned how they all had white sauce so after some thinking and wanting to get the full experience we decided to order a 4th pizza - the fat lou meat pizza (with red sauce). The wait wasn't too bad and the pizzas came out piping hot. The slices are pretty big too. They were even kind enough to bring sides of ranch, parmesan, and red pepper chili flakes. I knew I had to try all 4 - so my rankings were: #1 bonci #2 the fat lou #3 foggy dew mushroom #4 cotto The pizza was on thin Sourdough crust which makes this place unique and they rotate pizza topping options. My favorite - the bonci - had the best creamy white sauce and flavorful sausage and kale. I loved it. I definitely can see how this was a top ranked pizza place in California. I recommend any pizza lover to add this to their list.

Mushroom pizza- delicious and rich

Delicious and rich, fabulously fancy food with no artifice. The ingredients are high quality but the atmosphere is local and homey.

What a delightful surprise to discover Pizzeria Luba! Because I saw so many customers inside and even some customers waiting outside, I decided to give this restaurant a try. High Yelp star rating too! From Yelp, I could tell that the Foggy Dew Mushroom pizza and Fat Lou pizza were the most popular and recommended. My server confirmed my research. Since a mushroom pizza sounded more special to me and had the most review mentions, I decided to order it. Great crust texture. Caramelized onions. Fancy oyster mushrooms. Pizzeria Luba bakes its 100% organic sourdough pizzas in a stone oven! Yelpers also love the pork & beef Meatballs starter. You get 3 meatballs topped with marinara sauce, Parmesan cheese, and Basil. Pics of the Caesar Salad and Butter Lettuce Salad look enticing. Make sure to check the chalkboard for the pizza special. To accompany your pizza, the server will offer you Ranch dressing, Parmesan cheese, and red chili flakes. Restaurant has a nice local craft beer and wine list. I ordered a can of North Canyon Cider Co Pomegranate Apple hard cider. Some wines come from Spain, Italy, France, and Napa Valley. Service was lovely. Various servers kept checking on me to make sure I had everything I needed and was enjoying my meal. It's the best and most attentive group service effort I've seen in a long time. I appreciated this a lot as a solo diner. I enjoyed the graphic design poster art adorning the dining room walls and restroom. Artsy and classy. The chalkboard menu showed a drawing of a skull with pepperoni pizza slice oozing cheese. The restroom door is intriguing. It's a thick wooden door with chunky metal handles, latches, and bolts. I wonder if it used to be a freezer room. Pizzeria Luba is a hidden gem. If you want good pizza, it's worth making the trip to charming little Auburn.

Caesar salad and blonde ale

Wonderful Caesar salad, pizza, a brews. Can't go wrong! Service is always amazing. They'll hold the door open for you and box up your meal when you are finished. Highly recommend.

Strawberries & Burrata
Helen H.

We were lucky to get a spot in the parking lot across the street. There was a short line that had already formed even before they opened. We started with the strawberries & burrata (toasted pine nuts, arugula, olive oil, balsamic, Maldon). It was light and tasty. We also got the foggy dew mushroom pizza (mozzarella, fontina, caramelized onions, roasted oyster mushrooms, roasted garlic cream, truffle oil, chives)- 6 slices. The crust is thin, which is preferable to me. I enjoyed the pizza overall, but it was a bit oiler than I liked. They also have a nice selection of beer to accompany your pizza.

All four pizzas
Dana A.

Ohh Pizza Luba, you are constantly on my mind. We took another trek to Auburn just to see you. We started with the fresh focaccia and the bruschetta special. I could seriously eat this for dinner! So flavorful and delicious. Then we ordered the Fat Lou (how can you not), pesto special of the day, chorizo and foggy mushroom with vegan cheese. No one spoke a word as we devoured each crispy, chewy, tasty bite. There was enough leftover for lunch the next day, what a treat! It was packed for a Thursday night, the customer service is top notch! Can't wait for next time!

We ordered 5 different pizzas to go, hoping to sample a variety, but overall the experience was somewhat disappointing. The crust was fine, but the pizzas were extremely greasy--so much oil that it soaked through the paper. Some flavors had potential, like the jalapeño and tomato slice, but the slices were heavy and unbalanced. The mushroom pizza was especially soggy from excess oil. On top of that, we ordered a salad for $13 and were surprised by how tiny it was. It also wasn't a Caesar salad as expected, but a completely different salad. For the price and the size of the order, we expected better quality and consistency. With less grease, clearer menu descriptions, and better portion sizes, this place could improve a lot.

Hot Pepperoni pizza
Gwen M.

My husband and I stopped in last night for the first time-- it was amazing! I got the Zucca & he got the hot pepperoni. Both were amazing! I loved the crust! And their house made dill ranch was also so good. It was pretty busy for a Saturday night; we waited about 35 minutes. But it was worth it! Loved the vibes in there too, the lighting is nice and it's very lively.

October 16, 2026 - Auburn, CA…read more My first time here, and I was pleased with my visit. The downstairs bar area was closed for a private party, so we went to the bar area upstairs on the outdoor patio. It was a hot day, and they had misters that kept things cool. Service was great--quick and friendly. I ordered a glass of Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay ($12), and we ordered a medium Caboose pizza (pepperoni, sausage, linguica, salami, mushroom, yellow onion, and black olive). My husband asked for jalapeños on half. (Me-no thank you on my half). Pizza was very good and the outdoor patio was pleasant (a bit of road noise, but not too bad).

We stopped off for lunch while exploring Auburn on a Friday…read more The restaurant is large, spacious, & airy with industrial design, but still has warmth from all the wood. Seating is at tables & booths. There are big windows that open garage door-style that let in a lot of light. Multiple TVs played sports. You could easily have very large groups here. We ordered from their lunch specials menu to get slice & drink combos. We got 3 slices of Pepperoni & 1 Caboose. We got an apple juice for the kiddo's drink, which came in a lidded cup. The food was good--crust was soft, the sauce mild & tasty, toppings were flavorful. However, the pepperoni count was drastically inconsistent with one slice having more than double the amount of another. Our server was pleasant, answered our questions, left us with ample napkins, & checked in on us. It all made for an easy, quick, & satisfying meal that was comfortable. We enjoyed our experience here.

The bone-in wings were a great deal and huge, however, I felt like the wing was mostly batter rather than chicken. That was pretty much the only downside. The burgers are 1/2 lb each and are hefty, filling, and come with a nice portion of crispy, salty fries. They were an excellent choice! We also got the sampler platter which had a nice variety. Nothing was overly greasy and the tenders had a good chicken to batter ratio. Inside is spacious with lots of seating. It gives the vibes of an after work hangout spot. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. Whether you're stopping during a roadtrip or have a wedding to attend in Auburn, this place will keep your belly full!

I was excited they had a small "taco Tuesday " menu! It was also great to see a small plates section on the menu for variety of lighter options without sacrificing fun food. So many options but I went with the lettuce cups and blue cheese burger which I shared. Kids both got their nuggets served in a frisbee plate which was adorable! All of the staff was very attentive and kind. I noticed nowadays that any store or restaurant I go into seems to be wildly understaffed.- that was not the case! I also love that there's kind of this open kitchen in the back so you see a little bit of the kitchen where the chefs are cooking! I got to wave to them on my way to the bathroom Would definitely go back to try some of their other items. The burger was delicious not very heavy on the blue cheese, and the caramelized onions were stellar.

This restaurant offers a dining experience defined by a stark contrast between exceptional culinary…read moreexecution and disappointing operational flaws. Structurally, the venue presents an appealing, clean, and rustic aesthetic, yet this positive first impression is quickly undercut by a lack of basic hygiene. Specifically, flies were buzzing around the bathroom area during my visit. This failure in basic maintenance sets a concerning tone about the establishment's attention to detail, a gap that unfortunately extends directly into the front-of-house service operations. While the physical environment has its ups and downs, the service follows a similarly frustrating trajectory. The staff starts strong, providing good service right up until the food is delivered to the table. However, once the plates land, the waitstaff becomes entirely inattentive and detached overall. This post-delivery abandonment leaves me feeling neglected throughout the remainder of the meal, as routine check-ins and simple beverage refills are completely overlooked, heavily hindering what should have been a seamless evening. Fortunately, the kitchen crew operates at a much higher standard, delivering standout dishes that showcase genuine culinary talent. The Fettuccine Alaska is an absolute triumph, featuring a rich, velvety vodka cream sauce tossed with handmade fettuccine noodles that are wonderfully flavorful and buttery soft. The dish is elevated by smoked salmon that carries just the right amount of smoky depth without overpowering the plate. To finish the meal, the Tiramisu delivers excellent traditional flavors and a beautifully creamy texture, proving the food itself holds up to the social media hype. Regrettably, the stellar flavors are ultimately spoiled at the conclusion of the evening by predatory financial practices. The restaurant tacks on a surprise junk fee simply for the use of a credit card, which is advertised in such small font on the menu that it's hard if not impossible to notice. Still, this abuse of the customer. The bottom line is that the establishment serves very good food, but the overall experience is severely dragged down by inattentive service, bathroom cleanliness issues, and unnecessary fees.
