Lusso in West Berkshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

[Update 17/8/2024] The new policy appears to be to try and add 12.5% gratuity. Definitely a dampner to have essentially an additional meal attached to a family meal pushed on you [Original review] Amazing sour dough pizzas, and great value kids meals. Cannot recommend this place enough

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place before now. As money gets tighter our family nights out become more precious and Lussso and their staff do not hold back with warm friendly service. Great sourdough pizza, kind attentive staff and on a warm summer evening they have a lovely outdoor space. We have been regularly visiting Lusso for several years and they can be relied on time after time. If you like pizza then this is the number 1 locally in the Newbury and Reading area….

Lusso's food really stands out, delicious pizzas and gelato. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and makes for a great relaxed meal, especially if dining as a larger group or with children.

Great service, very friendly staff and the pizza was very tasty - the base was so light and fluffy, and very generous with the toppings.

Really nice pizza and good portions too!

The best pizza place in Newbury, hands down!!

Well made food for good prices and really nice outgoing staff

Delicious ice cream and wonderful service

Home delivery. The pizza was awful, not really very tasty and the base was like rubber. My mouth still hurts from trying to chew it. Never again

Probably the nicest pizza I've had, I'll definitely visit again when next in the area. Staff were amazing, great hospitality and the food was perfect, really well priced too.

What a great place. Nice environment, very friendly and quick service and amazing pizza. Even the ice cream is so good. Will be back soon to try other dishes.

Excellent gluten free pizza - often GF bases aren't great - this was perfect. And the service was superb - very attentive & efficient. Great gelato too. Can't recommend highly enough!

Wow.. being from Cape Town and having classy pizza there, I was blown over by uncompromising detail and voluminous pizzas.. service swift and happy. Food awesome and ice cream stunning.... keep it up!!

Pizza here is delicious, I ordered pasta, and it was so salty. I couldn't eat it. When the staff member came over to clear the table, she asked if I wanted the meal in a takeaway box as it wasn't eaten, I said no thanks, I couldn't eat it as it was too salty, she ignored my comment & still charged for it regardless.

Amazing pizza with brilliant vegan options. We appreciated the speedy service and generous portions for kids' pizzas and our adult pizzas were delicious.

delicious food, friendly staff, and great atmosphere! lots of topping, and good thickness base! of course Camembert to start too - yum! 😋

Fabulous food. Plenty of vegan options. Great service. Will definitely return! Thank you.

Possibly the best restaurant I've ever been to. The food was amazing, the service was fast, and the staff were amazingly nice. Would love to come here again

Arrived unbooked at 830pm, didn't know they shut at 9pm. They couldn't have been more welcoming. Service was excellent, food superb. We had a pizza and a pasta.

The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The restaurant was really clean and tidy. The food was amazing. The meat feast pizza was incredible and so was the brownie. There's a good selection of gelato flavours and the ones we tried were delicious.

Great family meal at Lusso last night. Both pizzas and pasta were absolutely delicious 😋

Absolutely superb! Had a delicious garlic bread followed by a gorgeous pizza and fantastic pasta dish. The gelato was out of this world! Cannot recommend highly enough. The staff are so friendly and welcoming - will be back!

First time at Lusso’s for a meal rather than just ice cream. We had pizzas that were out of this world good, great service and a relaxed atmosphere. Can’t believe we’ve not been there before. Thoroughly recommended for a reasonably priced night out.

Lusso is a brilliant Italian restaurant with real Italian flavours. Amazing meal, brilliant ice-cream afterwards. They are making you feel very comfortable and serving is superb. Highly recommend!

100% worth a visit. friendly and kind staff and excellent pizza at a very reasonable price …

Lovely. Lovely service. Lovely food. Lovely location. Lovely ambience. Lovely. Our team from work visited at lunch. We were able to preorder. It was not too long to wait for the food, and then it all was served together over a span of minutes (there was over a dozen of us). Very friendly service. Great selection of drinks available. Recommended.

Great pizza. Very accommodating as we phoned very last minute for a table. Look forward to returning

We had a lovely evening food was really lovely. The lady who served us was lovely too. Highly recommend this place.

Previous experiences with Lusso both at the restaurant and ordering online have been fantastic however tonight we have been really let down. Our order arrived with one of the mains missing, we phoned to ask if it was missed by the driver and instead they admitted that they sent the order knowing the pizza was missed. We offered to come and collect it as it was already paid for but instead they said we need to re-order which means we’ve had to repay the ordering fees and as we our original order was part of a 20% deal off deal (with a minimum spend) on the ordering app, we then had to pay full cost on the pizza the second time, so paid out more than we were refunded. During this time the rest of order had gone cold and we had to eat our meals separately. This was supposed to be a fun treat but instead it has been a stressful experience and not the usual service we receive. We did not even receive an apology for their error when speaking to them and as someone who has worked in a customer facing role, this a basic courtesy to give when you make an error. This is a real shame as we have always highly praised Lusso’s and even opted to support them over the new pizza place that has opened in the market place, due to our precision great experiences. We may re-consider ordering again in the future and only opt out to eat in, which is more limiting for us due to our unpredictable availability.

Not enough superlatives to describe this restaurant! Firstly the food was sublime. Pizza, pasta, and ice cream are all worth a visit. Whoever operates in the kitchen knows what they're doing. Secondly, service was absolutely amazing. From the moment me and my partner were at the door, to the very last second of our time there we were made to feel like we're guests at a friend's house, not a restaurant. Last but not least - the vibe was right up my alley. Right outside the entrance was a man playing chill instrumentals on the guitar. Truly was a cherry on top. All in all it'd give the overall experience a 10/10. Would highly recommend anyone to pay a visit when you do get a chance. Krzysztof K.

Friendly, tasty, welcoming and fantastic in the summer if you can sit outside in the old arcade. Been here for years and always super consistent with the food and service. Ohh and they have excellent (actually spicy) chilli oil!

Nice local eaterie that is growing in popularity. Our preferred foods here are ice creams and pizzas. The review is still valid, May 2025 🤗

Love this place! A proper hidden gem. Excellent, unfussy Italian food with great service at a reasonable price. The wood-fired pizzas are the main attraction but don’t overlook the starters and pasta dishes. There’s also a very dangerous gelato counter 👀 Recommended!

Always a good time here. Great food, great staff, amazing ice cream

Pizza was good but carbonara was a bit strange and not to our taste.

Everything was delicious. I had the aubergine arancini(deep fried rice balls), which was on point. Not soaked in oil, crunchy, and great flavour. For main, I had Blue cheese pizza, which was nice. And for dessert, coconut ice cream/gelato which was one of the best coconut ice creams I have ever had.

We come for a coffee and didn't reach my expectation coffee was very watering Properly not tge best. Also i ask for a italian digestive (herbs liquor) and the waiter offer me a tablets for digestion 😑 I don't if want coming back to tty there food

The gluten free pizza dough was exceptional! Freshly made, soft and tasty. I opted for vegan pesto and vegan mozarella too. My partner had a regular mushroom pizza and was impressed also.

As always, awesome and delicious

Can't rate the pizza highly enough. Always great. Prefer the atmosphere in the main restaurant or courtyard area. Ice creams are also amazing 👏

What can I say . Best pizza I've ever had. Period. Quality ingredients, great service, excellent selection of drinks, pleasure to dine there ....just wish I lived closer !

Top quality pizza, fresh ingredients, great service - highly recommend.

Brilliant lunch here today, delicious pizzas and amazing ice cream. Super friendly service too! thank you

Brilliant authentic Italian pizza and very friendly and helpful staff. Can't wait to go back next time we're in Newbury.

Great pizza,quality coffee and desserts

just got home and found id got a very soggy pizza because they'd stored it in a airtight plastic container while they waited for me to collect; so it went straight in the bin untouched. they also asked if i wanted it cut; which I did; and it wasnt. clearly I should have gone to Dominoes bc at least there you dont expect quality

Came in on a Monday night. Unsurprisingly it was v quiet. The place was warm and welcoming and the lady serving friendly & attentive. The star of the show was the food. We had arancini, mozzarella sticks, salads and pizzas, all of it was delicious. Bill was very fair and the server took time to ask if we were ok with the service charge - which we were glad to pay. All in all a great little place for a casual but tasty night out

It was so great. The staff are all so kind and food was mind blowing. Sourdough base with the perfect toppings. If you get a take away over £30 you get a free side. I would get the chorizo. My family loves coming here and it is great for the kids. The pasta looks good but personally I would go for pizza.

Atmosphere was quiet, which is a reflection of the time we went not the service.

Yummy pizza. Really good pizza base

Lovely pizza, restaurant and staff. Third time we have been over the years and it’s always been excellent.

Remains great, food is superb and if you have room after your main I thoroughly recommend the ice cream. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I would like to say that it was my first time going yesterday and my partner recommended it.the food tasted great and the service was amazing would love to give 5 stars for food but can’t due to me and partner being ill and now having food poisoning, my partner had the lasagne and I had the spicy pizza.i did tip on top of service charge as it was lovely just unfortunate how we feel today.

I have being 2 times at this restaurant ,lovely location pizza is amazing and an outstanding lasagna and the service is out of the world...check the ice cream too.. i was with my family son everyone is welcome

I went for lunch at Lusso with my daughter as my wife had to work over the Christmas period. We had a lovely meal. The pizzas are second to none and the Italian ice creams a must have. Definitely our favourite Italian restaurant in town.

Fantastic time as always! Amy and Lina provided the nicest service and chefs prepared the best food! Ice cream are to die for! Never disappoints, thank you!

Fantastic restaurant with great pizzas and ice cream. Best in Newbury by far

What a fabulous team! So welcoming and accommodating. Often eating out with a toddler can be stressful but it was a joy thanks to the thoughtfulness of the staff.

Would give 10 stars if I could. Amazing pizza

Very good food. Service not excellent.

Authentic pizza and very friendly staff. Highly recommend

Brisket burger the best burger that I have ever tasted. A little gem off the main road.

Booked at short notice for a birthday meal after other plans fell through. Wonderful food and great service at a reasonable price. Loved it and we'll be going back soon

Delicious food and service (once our regular server turned up) as usual! Cannot fault this eaterie. Bravo! 👏👏

I’ve been following Lusso on Instagram for months and it truly lived up to my expectations. We went for a birthday meal. It was so lovely going to a small family feel restaurant. We shared a bolognese arancini ball to start, had the meat feast and spicy salami pizza and shared a tiramisu. Everything was incredibly tasty and authentic. The service was incredible, so friendly and accommodating. They were open about the service charge and pointed it out to us before we paid, which we were more than happy to do, but really valued the transparency. We’ll be back very soon - thank you so much for a fantastic experience.

The most authentic and IMHO best pizza outside Italy. Simple and lovely little place

Authentic Pizza - Couldn't recommend more! Drove pass Newbury on a Sunday evening and found this hidden gem on Google. Pizza tasted heavenly good, from the pizza base to the ingredients. The sourdough base is very soft with rich taste of olive oil. Nice atmosphere and friendly staffs.

I tried the mushroom pizza , it was very delicious, and the service was professional

Stop here for ice cream it’s lovely Limited choices but have something for all tastes

Wow! Went here to celebrate my new job promotion and came in based on the reviews. We had no table booked but they found us a table with no problems. The staff were amazing, friendly, funny and really went above and beyond. But the food here will leave your dreaming about it after you've left. Incredible quality, sooo tasty and the service was crazy quick. I think we have found a new hidden gem and our new favourite place in Newbury. Exceptional 👌

Really nice pizzas, and everyone was very helpful trying to find something dairy-free for my son to eat.

Amazing pizza and gelato. Service was prompt and friendly. A real gem in Newbury. Easily missed because it's not on the main high street, but well worth checking out!

Every time I visit I’m impressed. Great pizza at a good price. Great service. Lovely place to visit on a nice day, with lots of outside seats. Nice to see they’ve recently branched out to do pasta too, and it’s just as good as the pizza! The ice cream is really good too, and they have loads of unique flavours.

Stunning food, lovely service and there was even live music 😊 they also had a great selection of gluten free alternatives

Why have I lived in Newbury for 5 years and only visited this place recently??? Lovely food, lovely service and the chef likes Metallica and LOTR so even more of a reason to go there and eat his great food!

I had lunch here earlier and it was lovely. We sat outside in the courtyard which had a nice atmosphere and the staff were very attentive. I ordered the bruschetta and it was amazing. It was a good sized portion for the price and it was so full of flavour. We went into the restaurant to choose our gelato afterwards which was something a bit different. We could try a sample of whichever flavour we wanted. I’m glad we found this place, I would definitely go back!

They were really good when I said I have a nut allergy

The best pizzas. My go to takeaway!! The staff are all lovely as-well :)

A breathtakingly beautiful place that offers an exquisite taste of authentic Italian cuisine, accompanied by exceptional service. The ambiance was nothing short of picturesque, adorned with vibrant flowers that added a touch of elegance to the dining experience. The menu was thoughtfully crafted, offering a delightful range of dishes at very reasonable prices, making it a true haven for pizza enthusiasts who seek an authentic Italian experience. The attentive staff went above and beyond, even offering us a delightful sampling of their delectable gelato, which surpassed our expectations in terms of quality. Every aspect of our visit was filled with joy and satisfaction. Without a doubt, I will be returning to this enchanting place. I would like to extend my best wishes to the management and the entire team for their outstanding work. Their dedication to providing a remarkable dining experience is truly commendable. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to my next visit!

A beautiful place with amazing authentic Italian food and exceptional service. The place is very picturesque with a lot of flowers, the food is very well priced and is truly a heaven for authentic pizza lovers. The staff even offered us to try the gelato and was a top quality as expected. I would definitely return again. I wish the best to the management and the team. Keep up the good work.

This place is an absolute treasure! I'm delighted to have stumbled upon it using Google Maps. The experience was impeccable, from the delectable food to the outstanding service. I highly recommend trying their summer Margarita Pizza; it pairs exquisitely with chili oil and a refreshing glass of peach iced tea on the side.

Fabulous pizza and amazing gelato!

Fabulous pizza and pasta, cold beer and friendly service. Dessert sounded nice but we were too full. What more could you need.

£15 beer and a pizza. Delicious pizza

Excellent meal at Lusso, Newbury. Great menu. I had the wild mushroom pizza, which was perfect. Great staff. Will definitely be back….

The food was delicious! The service was excellent, our family had a lovely evening. Thank you!

Good friendly service Lovely food Nice outside dining area Homemade icecream to die for ! Reasonably priced

We love coming to Lusso! The food is always so delicious, and the atmosphere is really relaxed - the team at Lusso are always so friendly and welcoming!

Love this place been multiple times never had a bad experience. Best food and service around

Everything was excellent as always.

Great atmosphere, food was amazing! So many vegetarian options too which is great. Wheelchair friendly as all on one level and they have spacious seating outside too. The team were very friendly and were very kind in waiting for us to finish dessert as it was closing time and they didn't rush us. Prices are good for the food. Can't wait to come back soon. 😀

Delicious pizza on sourdough base

Amazing food, we went there with my parents last night and my mum said she hadn’t had pizza that good since she was last in Italy!! Lovely staff, amazing food and good value for money!

Excellent as always. Food is delicious and the service is great!

Very good atmosphere, excellent service, brilliant food. Highly recommended.

Service was wonderful. Such friendly helpful staff. The pizza was the best we've had in a long time. We will definitely be back.

My son says it is the best pizza in the WORLD Just right here in Newbury

Excellent Italian food and reasonable price. Quick service with delicious fresh food. Pizzas and pasta were both excellent

The pasta dishes we had were amazing.

Great ice-cream flavours and delicious pizzas. A regular for our family, especially the after dinner desert drives for the ice creams in the summer.
