What makes a city cosmopolitan? Ever-ready midnight-or late-breakfast-pizza slices with artichokes next to a good beer is as good a definition as any, so hallelujah for these beloved Minneapolis gems. It's just icing on the cake that at the Lucés beer is served as often as not by someone who looks like they just came back from touring with GWAR-cosmopolitan squared! All four restaurants (with a fifth in Duluth) serve up a crisp crust, potent red sauce, and more toppings than you can shake an antipasto at: Calamata olives, roasted red peppers, homemade sausage, barbecued chicken, and spicy mock duck, to name a very few. (Vegans, please note: Lucé has more animal-free possibilities than just about any other metro restaurant.) Trying to pick between them? The Lyn-Lake location is a neighborhood joint with easy parking that closes at 2:30 a.m. and has a wine and beer license; the Seward one is also open until 2:30 a.m. but is more family oriented (though it has a full bar); the downtown Lucé is the most hopping, offering daily specials, a full bar, full-service and counter sections for seating, and is open till an invaluable 3:30 a.m. on weekends.
For optimum people-watching experience, it's imperative to remain at least somewhat sober, as the dividing line between "spectator" and "subject" seems to fall right between the night's fourth and fifth beer. That said, grab a slice, pull up a chair, and behold the inebriated melodrama that can only be found where swarms of ravenous bar-hoppers and clubbers assemble in too-close quarters. If you want to disregard our warning to stay sober, here's how to play the Pizza Lucé Drinking Game: Every time a girl curses noisily into her purse as she frantically sifts for something, take a drink. Every time you see a couple drunkenly bickering in nonsensical gibberish, drink two. For every fistfight that breaks out, chug. If you're in the fistfight, it's time to call it a night.
Best at 2am when bars close! Fast delivery and tasty!!!

Like traveling to the darkest depths of the sea and turning on a light, a nighttime visit to the downtown Minneapolis Pizza Lucé will yield some spectacular views of nightlife. Open until 2:30 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 3:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday, the restaurant draws a crowd that's a late-night cornucopia of city life: hipsters looking to sober up after shows at First Avenue or the Fine Line; beer-slamming college students looking to score a cheap slice; a loud but friendly...

Remember the Mad, Mad Mexican, East Lake Street purveyor of remarkably thin enchiladas and other questionable Southwestern fare? Of course you do, because for years and years it was virtually the only middle-of-the-night alternative to Perkins,... More »
Pizza Lucé 119 N. Fourth St., Mpls.; 333-7359. You should see the tempest that ensues when we pick Editor's Choice for best pizza in the "Best of the Twin Cities" issue: Ordinarily articulate cultural thinkers start sputtering and turning red;... More »
