Our Downtown location is the one that started it all! Over 30 years ago, we began with just delivery and counter service out of half a storefront in the Warehouse District’s Textile Building. In the years since, our Flagship location has expanded to include a full bar, dining room, and event space to better serve the pizza-going public. Whatever brings people Downtown, we are here to accommodate them!

Given its proximity to such landmarks as First Avenue, Target Field, and US Bank Stadium, Pizza Lucé Downtown’s business is event-driven, providing a fast-paced work environment ripe with opportunity for conquering operational peaks while offering fast, kick-ass service to our city’s residents and visitors.

Working nights and weekends, you will have the opportunity to work closely with an unprecedented veteran staff, many of whom have been part of the Lucé family for over a decade. You will also interface directly with one of the original founders of Pizza Lucé (who still works in the restaurant six days a week) and members of our home office, which occupies the third floor of the Textile Building.
