The story
Tucked into the Republic 2 Court Yard on Palmer Street, Lucio Pizzeria brings a serious approach to pizza to one of Sydney's most characterful inner-city neighbourhoods. The Darlinghurst address puts it at the heart of a suburb known for its independent spirit and discerning eaters — a fitting home for a pizzeria that has caught the attention of one of the world's most respected food guides.
Gambero Rosso, the Italian authority on food and wine whose pizza rankings carry genuine weight globally, awarded Lucio Pizzeria 2 Slices in its 2023 guide. For an Australian pizzeria to earn recognition from an Italian institution of that standing is no small thing — it signals a commitment to craft and authenticity that goes beyond the ordinary.
Whether you are a Darlinghurst local or making the trip from across the city, Lucio Pizzeria represents one of Sydney's most credible options for pizza done with care and conviction. The Gambero Rosso nod makes it a natural stop for anyone who takes pizza seriously.
