Dallas and Fort Worth pizza staple, Delucca Gaucho Pizza & Wine, has officially opened in Austin in the Quarry Lake neighborhood, at 4200 W Braker Lane Suite B.
Owned and operated by married dynamic duo Vanderleia “Dede” Mallmann and Evandro Caregnato, Delucca takes a unique approach to pizza through a traditional Brazilian rodízio, where servers circulate the room with slices of handcrafted pizza for guests to try in a continuous dining experience. The first Delucca location opened in 2018 in Southlake, Texas, and was followed by locations in Dallas, Fort Worth and Plano. In return, the Brazilian natives have successfully established a pizzeria in Texas that stands by traditional Italian processes and a churrascaria experience all while capturing various worldly flavor combinations.
Inspired by their travels abroad, owners Mallmann and Caregnato focused on creating a refined menu that captured their adventures. Delucca offers diners a fixed five-course menu for $24.50 that embodies an upscale, continuous Brazilian dining experience. The menu features specialties like a chef-made lobster bisque, rocket arugula salad, housemade Kobe beef meatballs, and a selection of nearly 20 handcrafted savory and dessert pizzas.
Guests can enjoy none traditional pizza specialties, like the Mexican Elote with crema and cilantro, Indian Chicken Tikka Masala or the Turkish Lamb with sumac onions, as well as classic pizza staples, such as the Classic Pepperoni, Hot Sopressata with honey and Truffle Four Cheeses. Also, enjoy their housemade Fior di Latte mozzarella for a lighter, tastier cheese
For dessert, this upscale pizzeria offers decadent dessert pizzas like the Dulce de Leche with caramel dulce de leche and toasted coconut as well as the Nutella Pizza with sweet vanilla mascarpone and powdered sugar.
All pizzas are formed with Italian dough made with non-GMO Italian 00 flour, water, sea salt and yeast – and nothing else. The dough is then fermented for a minimum of 36 hours to allow the yeast to eat away excess sugar; this process makes Delucca’s pizzas easier to digest and lowers its glycemic index while elevating the flavor profile.
The restaurant also offers an extensive and deliberate, high-end wine list selected by the owners to compliment the five-course menu. The cocktail menu features multiple twists on classics such as the Raspberry Lemon Drop and Maple Old Fashioned and the house specialty, a Classic Caipirinha made with premium Brazilian Cachaça, natural lime juice and sugar cane syrup.
Reservations are strongly encouraged and can be made online.

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
