Refund Policy
Last Updated: May 2, 2026
1. Introduction
At Pizza Luce, we are committed to delivering exceptional food and service to every customer. We understand that there may be occasions where an order does not meet your expectations, and we want to ensure a fair and transparent process for addressing those situations. This Refund Policy outlines the circumstances under which refunds, partial refunds, exchanges, and cancellations may be granted, as well as the procedures you must follow to submit a request.
Our policies comply with applicable United States consumer protection laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive business practices. We are dedicated to resolving all customer concerns promptly and professionally.
2. Eligibility Conditions for Refunds
Pizza Luce will consider refund requests under the following circumstances:
- Incorrect Order: You received an item that is different from what you ordered (wrong pizza, wrong toppings, wrong size, wrong quantity).

- Food Quality Issues: The food delivered was spoiled, undercooked, overcooked, or otherwise not meeting reasonable quality standards.
- Damaged Food: The food arrived in a condition that makes it unsafe or unsuitable for consumption due to packaging failure or handling issues during delivery.

6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method
Once a refund has been approved, the processing time depends on your original payment method:
| Payment Method | Estimated Refund Processing Time |
|---|---|
| Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover) | 5–10 business days |
| Debit Card | 3–7 business days |

| Apple Pay / Google Pay | 3–7 business days |
| Store Credit / Gift Card | 1–2 business days |
| Cash on Delivery | Issued as store credit within 2 business days |
Please note that while Pizza Luce processes refunds promptly upon approval, your financial institution or payment provider may require additional time to post the credit to your account. We are not responsible for delays caused by third-party payment processors or banking institutions.
7. Partial Refunds
In certain situations, Pizza Luce may issue a partial refund rather than a full refund. Partial refunds may apply in the following scenarios:
- Only a portion of your order was incorrect, missing, or unsatisfactory, while the remainder of the order was delivered correctly.
- Some items in your order met quality standards while others did not.
- A delivery delay occurred, but the food was still consumable upon arrival.
- The customer consumed a significant portion of the order before reporting an issue.
- A promotional discount was applied to the original order, affecting the refundable amount.
The partial refund amount will be calculated based on the value of the affected items only, minus any applicable discounts, fees, or promotional credits. The final refund amount will be communicated to the customer in writing before processing.
8. Cancellation Policy
Pizza Luce prepares food orders promptly to ensure freshness and timely delivery. As a result, our cancellation window is limited:
8.1 How to Cancel an Order
To cancel an order, contact us immediately via email at [email protected] with your order number and a request for cancellation. Cancellations requested by phone or in person at the time of the order placement may also be accommodated within the eligible timeframe.
8.2 Cancellation Refund Eligibility
| Cancellation Timing | Refund Eligibility |
|---|---|
| Within 5 minutes of order placement, before preparation begins | Full refund issued |
| After food preparation has begun | No refund — partial store credit may be considered at our discretion |
| After order has been dispatched for delivery | No refund available |
In the event of an unforeseen operational issue on our part (such as a system outage or unavailability of ordered items), Pizza Luce will proactively offer a full refund or a substitute option.
9. Exchange Policy
Because of the perishable nature of food products, Pizza Luce does not offer traditional product exchanges. However, in cases where an incorrect item was delivered, we may offer the following remedies at our discretion:
- Replacement Delivery: We may arrange for the correct item(s) to be re-prepared and delivered to you, subject to operational capacity and your proximity to our service area. This option is available for orders where a replacement can be completed within a reasonable timeframe.
- Store Credit: A credit equivalent to the value of the incorrect or unsatisfactory item(s) may be applied to your account for use on a future order.
- Monetary Refund: As outlined in this policy, a full or partial monetary refund may be issued where replacement delivery is not feasible.
The resolution offered will depend on the nature of the issue, delivery logistics, and the time elapsed since the original order. Our customer support team will work with you to find the most appropriate and satisfactory resolution.
10. Dispute Resolution Process
If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your refund request, Pizza Luce offers the following dispute resolution process:
10.1 Internal Escalation
You may request that your case be escalated to a senior member of our customer support team by contacting us at [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Dispute Escalation" and your original case or order number. We will review escalated disputes within 5–7 business days and provide a final determination.
10.2 External Dispute Resolution
If an internal resolution cannot be reached, customers in the United States may seek assistance through the following channels:
- Federal Trade Commission (FTC): File a complaint at reportfraud.ftc.gov for unfair or deceptive business practices under the FTC Act.

- State Attorney General's Office: Customers may file a complaint with the Attorney General's office in their respective state for consumer protection matters.
- Credit Card Chargeback: If you paid by credit card and believe a charge was unauthorized or fraudulent, you may contact your card issuer to initiate a chargeback in accordance with your cardholder agreement.
10.3 Governing Law
This Refund Policy and any disputes arising from it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the applicable state laws where the transaction occurred. Any formal legal proceedings shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the appropriate state or federal courts within the United States.
