Pizzeria Luba: Auburn’s Sourdough Sensation

Nestled in the quaint charm of Old Town Auburn, Pizzeria Luba is more than just a pizzeria; it’s a story of tradition, a love for sourdough, and a commitment to community and quality. It’s a space where the simple pleasure of sharing a pizza becomes a celebration of connections, named in honor of the cherished great grandmother of Corey, a career chef with a passion for the art of baking.

The Birth of a Pizzeria

The journey to Pizzeria Luba began in Corey’s backyard with a wood-fired oven, a passion for sourdough bread, and a series of dinner parties that ignited a culinary movement. Alongside his wife Carmen, Corey transformed these gatherings into a local hub for pizza lovers. Pizzeria Luba stands as a testament to their dedication, showcasing a menu that sings with locally sourced ingredients and naturally leavened dough.

A Menu Rooted in Heritage

Every dish at Pizzeria Luba tells a story. The garlic bread is more than a starter; it’s a crunchy, buttery prologue to an evening of flavor, sprinkled with asiago and served with marinara and a dill ranch dip. The salads, from the robust Luba Caesar to the delicate Butter Lettuce Salad, each offer a symphony of textures and tastes, bringing the farm to your table with every bite.

The heart of Pizzeria Luba, however, beats in the rhythm of its sourdough pizzas. Each 12-inch creation is a canvas where classic meets innovation. The Cheese pizza is simplicity perfected, with tomato sauce and a blend of mozzarella and parmesan. The Margherita and Classic Pepperoni pay homage to timeless traditions, while the Honey Badger and Foggy Dew Mushroom push the boundaries with bold combinations like hot honey and truffle oil.

For those seeking a taste adventure, the Bella and Coronado pizzas offer a mélange of flavors, from the tang of castelvetrano olives to the zest of pickled peppers and aji verde. And for the meat lovers, the Fat Lou is a hearty tribute to fennel sausage and soppressata, paired with the heat of Calabrian chili.

An Invitation to Indulge

Pizzeria Luba is not just a place to eat; it’s a destination where each meal is an experience. It’s where you can savor the Shrimp Scampi Pie with its garlic-infused white sauce and a hint of lemon, or delve into the richness of the Cotto with its unique blend of salami rosa and pistachio.
