The pizza was AMAZING & the truck was adorable!!!!
We had the Lucca Truck for our wedding in September and I cannot emphasize enough how AMAZING they were!
Not only was the pizza some of the best pizza I have every had (I am not kidding, multiple guests asked for their business card), but they were extremely professional, clean, and well organized. So many guests told me how surpisingly well oiled of a machine they were. If a pizza was almost out of slices, they already had another one less than 30 seconds away from being ready.
On top of being great food and the fasts buffet I have ever experienced, their set up was beautiful! My family and friends were so worried when I said I was going to have pizza for my somewhat fancy wedding and every single one of them was blown away at how upscale they made pizza.

Lucca WoodFire Pizza
The pizza truck was a huge hit! The food was gorgeous and delicious, and the staff was absolutely professional and amazing. They even personally delivered pizza to me wherever I was standing so I could eat. They truly created the perfect atmosphere, and it was everything I had planned and dreamed it would be!
A word of advice: Be sure to carefully review the contract, including any potential weekend charges. While this detail might seem minor, it’s important to be aware of all costs involved.
Despite this, the overall experience was incredible, and I highly recommend Lucca WoodFire Pizza for any event!
Amazing pizza truck with a fantastic selection of delicious, wood-fired pizzas. The crust is perfectly crispy, toppings are fresh, and the staff is super friendly. Everyone loved having hot fresh pizza at our wedding. Highly recommended!
Oh my gosh, we cannot praise Lucca highly enough. Before our wedding, Melissa was so lovely and easy to connect with. She gave us such a great selection of pizzas, salads, etc. to choose from. It was as easy as could be to get everything set up with them. On the day of the wedding, they worked with our coordinators and just hopped right in and got set up and were ready to go by the time we were ready to eat. The service was impeccable – Nick and Sadie were amazing with prepping exactly what everyone wanted. They were so kind and generous with their time and resources. They checked in multiple times with me and a few of our guests who wanted gluten-free pizza; they confirmed the kinds we wanted and then brought it out directly to us (even though we had a buffet kind of line with their food truck) – remembering everyone and making us all feel seen and cared for. The truck itself was ADORABLE. It fit our vibe so perfectly and I loved the look. I haven’t even gotten to the food yet. YOU GUYS. It was insane. The salads were delicious and a lovely way to start the meal. And the pizza was the best I’ve had. Even the ones with gluten-free crust – you couldn’t even tell. It was all so delectable; me and my husband still regularly crave it. So good. And to finish off the night, Nick brought out adorable, delicious s’mores to all of us out on the dance floor. It was such a fun night and every single guest RAVED about how amazing the food was. I’m so happy to have found Lucca because they truly worked so well with us and everyone was just so extremely pleased with the food and service. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Please, hire Lucca. You and your guests will SO happy. Thank you, Melissa, Nick, and Sadie (and rest of the Lucca team); you really made our wedding so wonderful.
We hired Lucca to cater our daughter's wedding in Camarillo. It was a perfect choice. So much better than rubbery chicken and steak! Many guests raved about the pizza. My nephews had at least 12 slices each (growing boys!). It was fresh, hot and the presentation was perfect. We had 2 salads, both were wonderful and they packaged up the leftovers for us to take home. We also had them do the cocktail hour charcuterie board and while I did not have time to taste it, the presentation was fabulous. I highly recommend them.
Fan-freaking-tastic! Highly recommend. Communication was a little spotty to begin with (with their management turnover) but was quickly remedied in the weeks leading up to reception day. Their display was lovely, built with care, on time, and DELICIOUS! All of their employees were friendly and professional, and their salads and pizzas were great! Especially loved the charcuterie table :) Also, they were able to provide gluten free and vegan options for a couple guests (who we mentioned would be attending prior to the event). We really appreciated having Lucca at our reception and would 1000% contract with them for future Santa Barbara events!
Having local vendors on our vendor team for our wedding was extremely important to my husband and me. Everyone highly, highly recommends Lucca Truck and when we first started working with them, they were extremely detailed, professional, and communicated very well. We absolutely loved the truck and heard the food was incredible. We agreed to a quote and signed a contract with them one year before our wedding and we were excited to have them on our team for our pre-wedding event (Mehendi/Sangeet). Throughout the year leading up to our date we communicated with them updates to our guest count and continued to receive updated quotes with the same per-person cost. The guest count could change up until they worked with us to finalize the count and menu, which was to take place one month before the event according to the contract. The one-month date passed without us meeting, but we understood that with the boom of weddings in July 2022 they were experiencing delays in getting us the final pricing. When we did meet a couple of weeks before the wedding, we communicated that our latest guest count had reduced by about 15 people. Subsequently, we were told that they could not honor the per person cost that was in the contract and it would be raised. We were told this was because our guest count had dropped below 200 so we were now subject to the pricing of that “tier” (<200). We were surprised by this change because there was no indication of the tiered pricing in the contract or in a previous quote for 190 people (which had our original per-person price). During a phone call with Melissa to discuss the pricing adjustment and resolve the difference, she was obviously frustrated by interrupting us, speaking in absolutes, and being disrespectful when talking to us. This further surprised us because our interactions with Melissa prior to this had been nothing but positive and productive. After we provided a PDF of the previous quote for 190 people, Melissa’s assistant informed us that Melissa would honor the previous per-person count at 190 people, not our final guest count of 173. On the day of our event the Lucca Truck team was great! They were on time, the food was delicious, guests loved the experience of Lucca Truck, and we were truly happy that we went with Lucca Truck!
Highly recommend Lucca for a unique wedding experience. Not some stuffy catered meal but fun and amazing pizza and salad. Our guests loved it! Thank you for providing your services to help make my daughters wedding a success.
I can’t say enough good things about the Lucca team. We first met them at a friends wedding who inspired us to have them cater our own wedding and they delivered in spades. I worked primarily with their owner Melissa, who couldn’t be kinder and more solution oriented. She’s the type of vendor who shoots it straight and aims to keep it simple, for the client at least 😉. Anytime I wanted or needed to change something, she was ready with a replacement and a solution – didn’t like the dessert that was offered so she personally baked trays of fruit cobbler so that I could offer guests two options, I wanted more substantial appetizers than their menu currently offers and she came up with 3 heartier off-menu apps. The truck was set up initially without the oven facing the party, and they turned it around, at our request, to enhance the ambience (no small feat, since the truck needs to be towed in backwards.) Their food is fresh and delicious, and their presentation is bar none. They put together an exceptionally beautiful grazing table and their 1920’s fire-truck that houses their brick oven is a showstopper. It was such a gorgeous focal piece at our wedding. I couldn’t even count the number of compliments we received from guests on how tasty the food was. Don’t hesitate to book one of their trucks for your next event!
HOW on gods green earth were we SO LUCKY to find you?!?? Oh my gosh. I can’t even begin. This is the best decision you will make when it comes to your wedding. Melissa and her husband are incredible, and will take care of you from start to finish. The pizza truck is stunning and the pizza is the best pizza you will ever have in your lifetime. This is not a drill. We are endlessly thankful and grateful for this experience of a lifetime. Thank you Lucca!!!!
Just wanted to send a thank you for such a fun evening last Friday - the truck was an absolute hit for our intimate wedding weekend and everyone is still raving about it. The pizza was amazing, and the ambiance you've created with the truck is really something (the music, the cafe lights, the vintage look)! You should be so proud of this super fun business. Thank you again!
We are glad we worked with Lucca to cater our wedding. They set up a beautiful cheese board during cocktail hour, had delicious pizzas throughout the evening, and even served S'mores during the dance party! The service was very professional and we didn't worry about a thing. We also received many compliments from our guests on the food. To top it all, the pizza truck looked amazing and made our wedding extra special. I highly recommend working with Lucca for your wedding catering.
SO great!! Delicious pizza and the truck is so authentic and cool! Lucca catered our rehearsal dinner @ Carr Winery in Santa Barbara. Fantastic service and everyone was so nice. Highly recommend for any event in Santa Barbara!
Lucca was definitely one of the best parts of our wedding. The organization and communication beforehand, decor and set up of the truck, and efficiency getting everyone fed couldn't have been better for our 130 person wedding. The food was SO good and the staff was extremely polite and professional. I cannot recommend this company enough for a wedding. Book them ASAP!
If you are making the decision to go with a food truck, then Lucca truck is the absolute best option! Not only is the food incredible and a crowd pleaser- the truck and set up itself is insanely gorgeous! The staff was personable and extremely helpful. I would book them again for sure!!! Oh and very affordable.
Lucca Truck catered our wedding at Snake River Ranch. Melissa, Mark, and their team made sure everything was perfect and they are seriously the nicest people! They make absolutely delicious food and the truck was a huge hit. We couldn't have had a better experience. I want all of my friends to have weddings with Lucca Truck so I can eat their food again. So delicious! Thank you so much for making our wedding extra special! The next time we have an event, we will definitely be using Lucca Truck again.
Lucca was beyond amazing at an event at our house. Not only is the food great, but the service was top notch, and people loved, loved, loved the atmosphere they helped create.
These guys go above and beyond for food quality, great variety of food. very professional. Mr. Green
