Pizzeria Ludica
Inside Pizzeria Ludica
Pizzeria Ludica in New Westminster offers a dining experience that goes beyond just pizza. It’s a pizza restaurant with a twist—combining a casual eatery environment with a vibrant board game lounge. Situated on Carnarvon Street, this spot draws people looking for more than just a meal; it’s a place to unwind, connect, and enjoy some playful competition over a slice.
The vibe here is laid-back and social. The space features large tables designed to accommodate groups who want to settle in with their favorite board games while waiting for or after enjoying their food. Expect some background buzz as the place fills up, especially around early evening hours, making it a lively hangout rather than a quiet dinner spot. Fans help keep things comfortable, though it can get a bit warm when busy.
Menu-wise, Ludica serves a broad range of pizzas catering to varied tastes, including several vegan options that stand out for those with dietary restrictions. Their versions of classics like Prosciutto E Rucola and Margherita sit alongside creative choices like the Pineapple Pulled Pork or Buffalo & Spicy Salami. Vegan eaters and dairy-free diners have options featuring house-made cashew cheese and plant-based alternatives, reflecting a thoughtful approach to inclusivity. Alongside pizza, lighter fare like arugula salad, classic two-cheese garlic breadsticks, or a meat and cheese board round out the offerings if you want something to share or nibble on while gaming.
The staff here tend to be friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. This makes Ludica a good spot for small group outings, casual date nights, or even booking for community events and workshops — it’s known locally as a flexible venue for arts-related gatherings.
People who appreciate a more interactive dining experience, merging food with social gaming, will find Ludica suits their vibe especially well. It works best for those who don’t mind a bit of noise and warmth in exchange for a communal, spirited setting. Families with kids can also find options on the kids’ menu, making it approachable for all ages.
