I've been ordering from Santa Lucia for over 30 years. Latest order was in November 2024, and the food (2x specialty pizza deal chef's salad) was as good as the first time I ever had it. On-time delivery as well. Highly recommend.

Santa Lucia on Portage always delivers great quality pizza. The ingredients are fresh, the flavour is excellent, and everything is made just right. You really get what you pay for — and with their "buy one, get one 50% off" deal, it’s a great value too. The lady who’s usually there is always so nice and friendly. Her great customer service makes the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Awesome pizza, fresh and tasty. Tons of toppings. Good value for the amount of food. Really enjoyed the vegan pizza with vegan "cheese" at no extra cost. Will def order again when back in Winnipeg!

One of the best chicken gyros and Greek salad that I have had, anywhere. Chicken was tender and tasty. Salad was excellent. Very generous portions.

Ordered delivery to my hotel in Winnipeg. Really great gourmet pizza. I ordered the Montenegro. Highly recommend. Garden side salad was fresh...they forgot the fork. No biggie.
