Delucca: a Pizza Lover’s Dream

Delucca Logo

Delucca Gaucho Pizza is a culinary experience unlike anything else. Inspired by an old and unique way of enjoying pizzas that has its roots in the gaucho’s land of South America, Delucca is a pizza lover’s dream restaurant.

Delucca Gaucho Pizza has locations in the Dallas Design District, Southlake, Plano, and Fort Worth. All locations are open. Reservations are recommended.

The Delucca Story

making pizza

Over a century ago, thousands of Italians immigrated to South Brazil and soon, they were sharing their tables, food, and wine, with the native gauchos. Both Italians and gauchos shared a passion for rustic cooking and abundant food. There were large family gatherings and endless celebrations around the grand kitchen tables in the farms. 

Decades later, the same gauchos who had created the Churrascaria Steakhouses, with its endless serving of roasted meat, envisioned a place where the guests could enjoy a similar experience, but with unlimited samplings of unique and handcrafted pizzas in a casual yet elegant place warmed by the sight and smells of wood-fired ovens. 

The gauchos named this new style of eatery Rodizio de Pizza and almost overnight, it became a huge success that until this day is the place to go for great food, great drinks and wine, laughter, and life-lasting memories with friends and family.
