Pizzeria Ludica in New Westminster

Great place to Hang out, play some board games and have a pizza. Service was great and the food was delicious. Check this place out.

Board games + Pizza, what s not to like?

Good pizzas

They have vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. The pizza is good, and I also like their Italian sodas. Great atmosphere, lots of games to play. Service is friendly and casual. A great spot for a date, or a night out with friends. Vegetarian options: They have a whole vegetarian menu as well as a vegan menu Dietary restrictions: Cauliflower crust is gluten aware but not vegan

Had vegan pizza which was pretty good. Friendly service, lots of boardgames options

I love celebrating here, although I find it end up, chatting more than action playing games. Great place. Wheelchair accessibility: Ample space. No automatic door.

Excellent variety of games for the whole family. I love going to this place during the week to get out of my routine. My favorite pizza is the margarita and I like it because it is baked in the oven with a semi-toasted and crispy texture. Vegetarian options: There is a complete menu for vegetarians. Kid-friendliness: children are accepted under adult supervision

Fun board game cafe with delicious pizza and drink options.

Homely vibes, excellent food. I loved the tiramisu. Would 100% recommend

Pizzas was great and the board game selection was huge! Overall great experience

The pizza was very bad. The crust was horrific. For the same price you can get legitimate, tasty, Italian-style pizza elsewhere in New West or nearby Burnaby. I honestly don t blame the cooks as they are just Indian TFWs or students who have no idea what quality Italian food is, and who were working hard. I blame the owners. Hire a proper chef to teach these cooks how to make pizza properly. I would be so embarrassed to own a pizzeria and serve this kind of food. However, if you re young, don t really care about food quality, like board games, and are looking for a cheap place to congregate, this is place is perfect. I suspect that s why this place has such a high rating. But if you are used to the quality of Pizzeria Farina, Via Tevere, Marcello s you will be sorely disappointed!

Have been here and ordered pickup countless times. The pizza is always amazing, as are any of the appies Ive had. Good beer selection. Also, amazing support for allergies. My wife has a severe dairy allergy and we eat pizza from here all the time and have had 0 problems. Oh, and not to mention the great selection of board games. Dietary restrictions: All of the pizzas can be made with daiya cheese, making many of them dairy free. Really good support for allergies.

Today I trusted the closed boxes of pizza I ordered. Shame on me when trusting these people with a burnt-out product. Shame on them.... this is how you lose 10 customers. Shall I get a I am sorry to hear that enough with the clichés. If you screw-up a pizza.... you shouldnt be selling it. A free PIZZA wont make it..... YOU lost 10 customers.....

Great pizza and service will come back again

My friend and I had a bad experience with one of the servers; the service was bad . Not sure if she was tired or what. Food is great tho!

Their Pass the Pigs pizza was delicious! The staff were really accommodating, too, and there was a massive range of card and board games to keep us engaged for hours. Great experience overall.

Great place but please use your air conditioning or open a window

Dietary restrictions: Very limited celiac options. Should be expected with a stone pizza oven Food

As a proud italian, this food kind of offended me Also, drinks probably took 30 minutes to arrive.. and it wasn t busy. Was unfortunate, we would ve ordered 2-4 drinks while we were there but didn t have time. Food : 2/5

Good pizza, great place to play board games with friends. The restaurant was hot though but the staff opened up the double doors and had some fans going which helped a little

The vegan cheese made the entire pizza inedible. I was very excited to try it but had to throw the pizza away. As much as I wanted to love it, I didn t. I am quite disappointed actually.

First time here. The place was so hot that we decided not to order any food as it would have been uncomfortable. Our surrounding tables were also very hot, the fans were blasting on everyone. Our waitress asked us 6!! Times if we were ready to order food . We stayed for a couple of drinks and decided to pay and leave. As we paid our $70 drink bill, the server mentioned to us that the next time we decide to go there we should really order food to support the business we just spent $70 towards the place. She was extremely rude and unprofessional I don t think there s any experience behind her in that industry and it shows. Won t be back.

Excellent service, great pizza !!!

This place is so fun! Pizza is great and they have a great selection of board games.

Pizza is a trip worth of its own. Not cheap but delectable, Italian style pizza made in stone oven, love the crispy thin crust! But this place is known for the board games they stock and they let you play many hours while eating/drinking, great family night out! Kid-friendliness: Its very kid-friendly - if they know how to play boardgames!! No wifi for phone games!

Hate to let people in on my new favorite place for vegan pizza. But this place is a gem. It gets an A+ for really working hard to make good food, and plant based options as well. The service is a solid 7.5/10, which is far better than average in the greater Vancouver area. Most places are okay with a 4/10 for customer service. The wild selection of board games supplied here make it a pleasure to wait!

The pizza is decent, service is fast, and they have an adequate selection of drinks. The best part about this place is there is a selection of board games you can play. There doesnt seem to be a cost for this apart from the meal, though perhaps there might be a minimum. Would go there again!

super nice servers, great food selection, and the board games are a good touch for the business

Closed an hour early tonight but didn t even bother to put a sign in the window and continued to have the open signs on? Super respectful, thanks.

We have hosted two birthday dinners here and consider it a fun spot to celebrate: break out a board game while you wait for your pizza. The options are extensive. We like the Italian sodas, and as vegetarians are very happy with many options to choose from. Vegetarian options: A full section of the menu is dedicated to vegetarian pizzas! Kid-friendliness: Our kids love to come for the games, and there are children s menus available.

The pizza is amazing. Try the pulled pork and pineapple pizza! They also have a good selection of drinks and the best selection of games.

So fun and good food

Great pizza, wanted to try every kind on the menu. Great service, very attentive. Nice atmosphere, very chill and lots of cool games.

A group of 6, where most of us shared 3 pizza and the cost. Super affordable and no charge for playing the board games on Saturday night. If not too busy, not restricted to 2 hour limit (if big group waiting for a table). Large selection of games. Super fun hanging out with friends and sharing food.

Have only ordered take out here on 3 occasions. Your pizza is the best I ve had in 17 years living in BC. Very generous toppings. When you order(and pay) for double cheese, you give double cheese! Your pizzas are so tasty and flavourful. My favourites pizzas are the Montreal and Taluva. They are amazing!

Its a great place to go and hang out, play games, etc. and the food is spretty decent (oven-fired pizzas mostly). Dont expect much in the way of atmosphere, other than other tables playing games. The walls are red & mostly bare. Service is... fine. The wait staff usually only consists of 2-3 servers, so if its busy or youre with a large group... expect things to take a while or items to get lost in the shuffle. Kid-friendliness: Very!

Love the place! Their pizzas are amazing, and they have a wonderful selection of board games I often come with friends, and we always have fun at Ludica

Being able to play board games is nice but some of the games are put away so poorly that it eats out a large chunk of your time to be able to play them. Staff arent very flexible in terms of the time limit. Table space is a premium, Id suggest the whole group split a pizza or two while playing to maximize time instead of taking the time to eat and then play afterwards.

Awesome spot to hang out and have a beer while waiting to pick up pizza. The pizza is pretty good though only one size.

Every time my sister and I walked over this area, we would look inside and its always full (except for mornings) but full. So we decided to go and try. It was a surprise when we came in and saw that there are all different kinds of boardgames that you can play when you bring your friends over. So we went and ordered the through the dessert pizza. The thing is that we couldnt stay for longer to enjoy the pizza there because my son got fuzzy and we had to leave before. Honestly, the environment we felt was nice, playful, the smell of the ovens after the pizzas are made give a lot of aromas of wanting to stay for longer periods of time. I hope I can get to stay to play and have my pizza there. The staff is very gently and they try to be as fast as possible but of course I understand sometimes they cant because the place is just full. I loved the pizza I had, 3 slices and I never felt heavy or bloated which I appreciate since the pizza is not more bread than others. I will definitely order more pizzas from here and I highly recommend it.

Awesome experience

Loved this spot. Amazing service and good selection of games.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere! Food was great, and our server Harvi was super kind and accommodating!

Best pizza around.

This place is Soooo good, the pizza was really good there and they have a great selection of games. If you have a friend or Family member who loves board games this is a MUST. The only knock I have against is that the music was a little too loud for the game I was playing, and while I do get that they have to have it set the mood so you dont just hear people saying things while playing but it still made a little more difficult to play. Vegetarian options: Have a whole menu dedicated to Vegan or Vegetarian options. I didnt try any but the selection was surprising Parking: So I would certainly recommend getting there via skytrain, its prob cheaper to park at Scott Rd and take the train for 1 or 2 stops (easier to get to from the Columbia Station if you dont mind walking up hill a bit) Kid-friendliness: Saw a lot of kids there mixed in with the Dating crowd and it all seemed to work, TONS of kid friendly games

Good pizza as always!

The vegan mushroom pizza was one of the best pizzas Ive ever had, and our server was great. Amazing atmosphere and massive selection of board games. Loved this place. Vegetarian options: Many delicious vegan pizza options!

Great selection of games with great food. Service was good and attentive, too. Highly recommend for a date night or hangout with friends!

Fun casual atmosphere to hang out with some friends or a date and play some board games. They have an area with a bunch of board games that you could play while eating. Atmosphere is very casual and cozy. Gets quite busy during dinner time. Parking is mostly paid parking in this area but you can usually find some sort of parking somewhere. Service is good.

Great pizza! Excellent service. And full of games. Great spot for friends and family.

Great selection of board games and the pizza is great!

A really nice place just to hang out with your friends and family. The food is good, but the best thing about this place is the variety of boardgames offered, and I didnt feel rushed to leave after we ate. The atmosphere is really nice and the service is good.

Food was fairly priced and it was a fun setting. A bit on the loud side but to be expected in a setting where people eat and play games.

Very clean place, note it opens late in the day at 17:00.

Probably best pizza in New West.

Great place for games and Napoleon pizza. Good selection of local craft beers.

Ive been here twice, with a couple years gap in between. The first time here I remember that their food was great and had amazing service. On my second visit (a couple years later) it seems like the food quality has gone wayyy down. We ordered a meat and cheese plate, and I believe my daughter can make a better plate than the one that we were served. The plate consisted of two pieces, each of four different types of meats, along with four pieces of three different types of cheese (cheddar, Gouda, and another). The angel hair pasta I had was pretty standard. Tasted like jarred sauce. Not sure if there has been a change management, but it is not like what I remembered. I will still recommend people to come here and play games with their friends, however, dont come here with the expectations of having a meal while you play. I highly suggest eating before coming here, and ordering drinks while you play.

We were a Table of 8 and were very promptly served. Food came quickly. Very good pizzas. Great selection of board games. Will be back. Only request for improvement would be more heat when its cold outside.

Food was delicious and was ready super quickly. Great service and theres an amazing selection of fun board games. The only downside of our visit was that it was very cold in the restaurant. We all had to keep our winter coats on the entire time. There were some small space heaters but not enough of them to make a difference for us. Would love to go back in the summer though!

Such a great place! Was my first time but truly an amazing experience. They have a lot of board games, a resident expert going around to help find and play games and them theres the food! The pizzas were amazing and they had a large vegan selection. Really great tplace to come enjoy a great meal with friend and play some games. This place does fill up quick. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan pizza options.

Great staff always! Food is amazing and they always are able to substitute things. Great concept with the board games for all ages. Family friendly. Lack of parking is only issue, like much of nw.

Great pizza. Great concept with the board games but too dim and too noisy to really enjoy playing.

I love Pizzeria Ludica. Ive gone dozens times to both locations throughout the years. Tons of great food and lots of vegan pizza selections. And the games are always well stocked - you can even request games if they dont have one you want to try, and they do their best to find it for you. Definitely recommend.

Awesome but pizza kinda soggy

This is a place where you can enjoy pizza and beer and play board games for free. Its fun to go with a group of friends haha.

The food is quite good (in taste), the quantity is really great, they give in good amount, more than enough to satisfy your hunger. But the service is so slow, i got my food after waiting for 20 mins.

Very cool place with yummy pizza and fun time to solicaize with board games.2 hr time limit goes fast

Excellent customer service, food and a great variety of games. I tried the vegan options and they were really tasty. Food : 5/5

Amazing pizza and a great place for some chill hangouts. Loved the variety of pizzas on the menu. 4/5 stars just for the rude hostess with glasses who received us to put our name down - She was mean and eye rolled just because we asked her if there is a wait time for a table. Our waitress was super nice and attentive. We will come back just for the board games and food though.

Favorite pizza in New West! The crust is so good and they put a ton of toppings on. I usually pick up my order to go, but the front staff are always quite rude and seem irritated that you re there. Quick service though!

Good games and food, cocktail menu is their biggest downfall, some just feel like me using whatever I can find in my fridge.

Tons of games with delicious pizza available. They have great pizza options at a reasonable price and also the hot chocolate is delicious.

Some of the worst service I have had at a restaurant. We went here and had to flag down our waitresses to get any service at all. Then they kicked us out after 2 hours where we basically had no drinks due to the bad service. Also not entirely the restaurants fault, however there was a homeless man sleeping in one of the tables near us and the staff called the cops. Overall I recommend going to the downtown location as that has a much better environment and service.

Really cool experience, never tried a place with board games. The food was amazing, every single bite was an experience. Food

Pizza here is consistently great, and its really nice to have dairy free options, but the service is terrible. The servers are too busy playing on their phones to pay attention to their tables. The pizza is the only thing that keeps bringing us back.

I came here tonight with a big group of people. They were very accommodating, courteous and friendly people that did a 10 STAR job. The pizza I chose was called Val Kar. It was nicely spiced and bursting with great pizza flavour. This is definitely you have to try them.

Delicious pizza and nice service. They have many types of board games available to play. Many people come with their families and play together. Its really a nice place to spend your quality time with your loved ones

Good food, cool games concept. Thumbs down for 2-hr limit. Should be 3 hrs to accomodate long pizza cooking times. Vegetarian options: Vegan menu and meatless options available.

This place is so cool. Their vegan pizza is AMAZING, service is fantastic and the board games are so much fun. I took my family here for my dads birthday and everyone had a great time!

This pizza place is incredible. The food is so good. The drinks are delicious too. The staff is absolutely wonderful. They sure went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. They made my 2 year old a heart shape pizza. It was the sweetest thing ever. Thank you so much Damien and the rest of the incredible staff. Kid-friendliness: They love kids and they make them feel part of the family.

Great selection of board games to try! Really enjoy spending time here.

Ive been here once before. I love the vibe. Pizza and games what more could you ask? If youre looking to do something a bit different, come visit. Youll def have a blast. The selection of games is great as well.

Been here a few times and always have fun. Sometimes staff is super friendly and othertimes theyre very avoidant but thats totally understandable. If youre going in the evening be prepared for it to be busy and the board games to be well used!

The atmosphere is great. I like a crispy crust on my pizza, but I got a soft floppy crust.

I cannot speak to the dining in experience as Ive never dined in but the food is amazing. Always fresh, great quality ingredients and technique.

Great place

Good pizza, nice atmosphere but u your seat neighbors are quite near

Love all the menu items and most of the game selection. Had an unfortunate staffing situation on a Saturday and had to clear my own table as well as intercept staff for help. No fault to the on-hand staff for being short of people.

A lot of board games to choose from! Play for free when eating here is great.

Amazing games and amazing food. I like both the ludica restaurants. This one is a relatively newer branch.

Dietary restrictions: Good selection of vegan pizza Food

Great pizza, huge board game selection, and staff were patient and friendly even though we were there right until closing!

Lovely customer service!!! The lady at the front was super nice and let us know the restaurant is closing but we just seen they have board games and where tempted to make an attempt to play :) next time!

Fantastic place! Great food, great selection of games, and friendly staff. Love all their vegan and vegetarian options!

Great concept! Service could be better. And when its closing time, they tell you to gtfo.

Pizzas were good, bee sting was a very unique pizza and it tasted great. Staff was very friendly and came back very consistently to refill water. Liked the board game aspect and we didnt have any issues with missing pieces (that would affect the game). Food : 5/5

Good pizza and enjoyed the games

I have no complain on service or atmosphere at all... but pizza was... idk at most average.

Loved the pizza, good service, lots of games to choose from. The decor could use a bit more effort. Great place overall.

We dropped our chicken pizza in a cup of water twice during a game of ticket to ride. Despite it getting watered down, the chicken pizza was still fire. The board game collection is pretty huge. Theres something there for everyone, but you cant expect a pizza place to have games in pristine condition. Also, the food is good but inconsistent. Youll get a fire pizza one time, but the second time, itll be a bit burnt and taste different; it will still be good, though.

Food is pretty good and boardgames selection is great as well. Wish the interior was better as we expected better ambiance. It was helpful to have someone explain the games you dont know so you can play right away without having to read the rules. Group friendly.

Tasty food, nice staff and so many board games! Aim for opening at 4pm and you will get seated right away. Vegan pizza menu. They can make GF pizzas but might not be celiac friendly. Believe things are prepped at the same station.

Walked in with a group of 4 right after it opened at 4:30. We got some good seats and our pick of games (lots of options). Tables filled up fast so make a reso or get in early! Food was a bit pricey for the quantity and quality but still good. It would be great if there were some wet wipes or hand sanitizer at the table since were using our hands to eat AND play... Overall, would recommend for the fun games. Bring your own hand sanitizer or wet wipes.

I had high hopes for Pizzeria Ludica, but found the pizza to be disappointingly bland. A pity. The sit-down area is also home to a board game parlour though, which is pretty cool and would probably make for a fun evening.

Nice atmosphere good pizza

Hit it ! Ive been to this location and the one in Gastown as well. Definitely make reservations or get there early because it can get packed and people play games. Its perfect if you can get it on a week night or a quieter night and spend time with your friends without the pressure of the 2-hour limit when its busy. The pizza was not top of the line but decent nonetheless.

Really loved the pizza I had. Absolutely delicious!!!

delicious pizza, fun games. what more could you want?

Pizza is delicious since it s cooked in a fire-oven. Plus the boardgames are awesome, such a good place to spend a few hours!!

Fun to play games and the food is great! Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options Food : 5/5 |

i tried pizza 6 times but if you compare price with quantity is less , size of pizza and toppings

Delicious!!!! Great ambience and service!!

The staff was in very bad attitude, good pizza but the waiter and server where in very bad mood and killed the vibe

Love this place. Good vegan pizza :) I fully recommend. I ve only eaten in once, but never took advantage of the boardgames. My only complaint are the hours of operation. They usually serve from 4pm to close. Please open earlier.

Pleasant wait staff, pizza a little doughy....loud bad acoustics.

My friends and I had an awful experience here yesterday. I made a prior reservation for 7, and was told that an automatic gratuity tip of 18% would be added on for groups of 7+. Which is fine, and I had also seen that on their website. Once we arrived, I let the staff know that we are a group of 6, since our 7th could no longer make it. We sat, and ordered 2 pizzas with the intent of ordering more later. When we ordered, the waitress told us that there was a minimum of $15 per person, or we had to pay a board game fee. All of which, I did not see on their website. We had no problem with it, since we were going to order more later anyways. (On their website, it says board games are free when everyone at the table has had enough food for a meal). We were in the middle of setting up our board game when the waitress rudely put our pizzas over our board (could she have not waited for us to quickly move it?). We had terrible service the whole time we were there, and had asked to have a pitcher of water or our water refilled a few times. Because of the poor service, we decided to not order more pizza. When we went up to pay, the server had told us we must pay 18% tip. When I questioned her, asking why (cause we no longer had a 7th person) she said that if we made a reservation online, then its restaurant policy. Her coworker then said, is that new? Absolutely ridiculous. At the end of it, she made us pay an automatic 15% tip for her horrible service and poor attitude. And we had to pay a board game fee on top of everything else. Definitely left us with a terrible rest of our night as we celebrated my friends birthday. Felt totally scammed and will not come back.

Food was decent.

Ive been here before and like before, the food was delicious. However, me and my group were shocked at the attitude the waitress gave us before we even ordered. Disappointing because other staff members were so kind, but didnt appreciate the waitress acting so rude from the start.

I came here a few weeks ago, nice small place! The cheese breadsticks were great! The drinks overall were okay, and the atmosphere was really great although our table was shaky which made it hard to play games. The waitress was really nice but since it was so busy they hardly came back to our table to check on us to see if we needed something else!

Ordered pizza for takeout. It was super tasty. The servers were very nice. Will definitely visit again soon.

Fun place for pizza and board games with a group. Pizzas have vegan options that taste great. I just think the waiters could be more attentive to the clients. But overall a really nice place with reasonable prices!

Decent pizza from a gas fired pizza oven that you can watch from your table. Lots of games to play. A/C wasnt working so was hot and sweaty. They did have a couple of fans set up.

Good food, fun night out with family as they have hundreds of board games to choose from

Cute spot to play board games . Many games and all well organized. Pizza was good, the staff seems to have a not so friendly vibe though.

This place kindly warms my heart, pizza and board games make for an amazing combination! Pretty good selection of games, for all skill levels (beginners welcome). Pizzas by themselves are a solid 8 out of 10, not the absolute best I ever had, but consider there is so much competition on the pizza business, I guarantee you wont be disappointed on this one.

Amazing pizza! Real pizza! Delicious dough, superb toppings! Vegetarian options: Veg options Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options Parking: On street and paid parking available Kid-friendliness: Playful environment Wheelchair accessibility: ramps available

Best pizza I have ever had so far. You must go here, do yourself a favour. You need it, go!!

This place is a super neat idea. The amount of games that they have is incredible . And what a fun night this would be with friends. The service was fantastic...our server was great and attentive. I thought the pizza was good. Definitely not the best but something I would continue to go back for.

It is a nice place and a lot of options for board games to enjoy while having your meal. We just celebrated our anniversary there yesterday.

A nice place to have dinner and play boardgames with your friends or on a cute & casual date! The food was decent but the service was really good. Id come here again just because its a great way to hang out with larger groups and get competitive!

The pizza is great, the experience is fantastic. I love it here. Although, it is a bit on the expensive side and can be difficult to get a table if you do not have reservations, but I still love it.

Great pizza!

Amazing

Great little pizza place. You can play board games here while enjoying their freshly made pizzas. Friendly staff and great service.

Great restaurant with awesome vibes. Thank you to Grace & Camille for being such amazing hosts. 100% I will be back

Grace and camille were wonderful. Thank you for the great evening.

Good atmosphere, a large selection of games for all group types and great pizza

Pizza is aight, they have a lot of games so you will definitely have something to do

Pizza is very good and the atmosphere is fun with all the board games and the staff are very helpful in learning the games or helping to pick one out.
