Luigi’s Pizza Restaurant of Dacula

Specialties

Welcome to Luigi’s, a neighborhood Italian restaurant and pizzeria that melds the fantastic flavors of well-​loved Italian pizza with the gustatory pizzazz of New York pizza. We are proud to be serving the Lake Oconee and Dacula areas with the best pizza around!

Food is important in every Italian family, and ours was no exception. That’s why we make our own gravy (sauce) and meatballs several times a week here in the restaurant. That’s also why we use things like fresh chicken, and there’s never anything brought in that’s been pre-​cooked. What a mortal sin that would be! Our eggplant parmigiana is a special treat because we painstakingly make it the same old-​world way that Mom did for years, and she was famous in our neighborhood because of it.

Every meal we prepare at Luigi’s is made-​to-​order. That’s just the way it’s supposed to be. There are no gimmicks here– just good food, plenty of it, and reasonable prices. If you love pizza the way the Italian New Yorker makes ‘em them you will love our pizza! And if you’re not craving pizza, there’s always our classic Italian dinners to choose from.

Bön Appetito! And God Bless.

History

Established in 2009.

Yep, there really is a Luigi! Unlike many pizzerias or Italian restaurants named after a fictitious character who sounds very Italian, we are proud to name our restaurant after our father, Luigi Pesce. You see his picture, with our mother, Santina Pesce, on the menu and in our restaurants, which was taken on their wedding day, February 22, 1937. Both were exceptional cooks and we are pleased to continue their traditions. The specialties we serve are culled from family recipes handed down to us by our ancestors.

With more than 10 years of experience in the food service industry, we take pride in offering top quality food and consistently excellent service to our diners. After several years of pretty good success in Greensboro (thanks to you all!) Luigi’s opened a second location in Dacula. Our mission is to provide you with the freshest product which is always consistent! We hope you love these places as much as we love having them. And we love having you dine with us.

Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

At home, Luigi did most of the cooking because he got home from work before Tina and we sat down every night as a family (including my two older brothers) to an abundant and exceptionally good tasting meal. Both Dad and Mom were very particular about the ingredients they used and the methods to make these great meals. Donna and I are no different.

So, here we are. After spending 35 years in the sales and marketing corporate world and raising our own family, Donna and I decided to open Luigi’s as a pizza restaurant offering the best pizza we know how to make and basic Italian dishes which everyone can recognize. In 2009, the Dacula store was opened by our good friends, Joe and Bonnie Molino. Joe and Rich are fraternity brothers at the University of Dayton since 1966.
