Local Favourite with a Laid-Back Feel
With a laid-back eat-in or takeaway vibe, Lucky’s Pizzeria in North Carlton is a beloved local gem. It feels like an extension of your own kitchen — just wander in and grab a Classic Lucky (traditional picks like margherita, Hawaiian or Americana), or a Fancy Lucky (gourmet options such as the Rathdowne with ricotta, olives, prosciutto, tomato, mozzarella, basil and olive oil), along with choices like fungi, BLT, or even a parma pizza.
Pizza First, Always
Locals swear by the Salsicce — a delicious combo of tomato, mozzarella, mini Italian sausages, caramelised onion and crumbled feta. At Lucky’s, it’s all about a perfectly baked crust and keeping things straightforward, which fits right into a suburb famous for its top-tier pizza offerings.
Affordable and Crowd-Pleasing
Medium pizzas go for $11–$12 and large ones for $15–$17, with gluten-free bases available for an extra $3. There are also flatbread focaccias, hearty calzones and salads on offer, but pizza is definitely the main attraction. It might not be Pizza Meine Liebe, Pizza Farro or I Carusi, but Lucky’s has a charm that’s all her own.
