Came here after seeing a bunch of recommendations online and my son and I split a 16 inch half pepperoni, half cheese pie. The sourdough crust, the sauce, the cheese, all were excellent.

Let me say that Pizza Lupo is my favorite Pittsburgh Pizza. I know Fiori's won some competition,…read moreand I have had Fiori's pizza, and it cannot beat Lupo. Our favorite is the Drunk Meatball: that homemade vodka pizza sauce, and their homemade meatballs, along with the rosettes of ricotta cheese is amazing. Lupo has a wonderful char to the crust and the undercarriage is slightly crispy. The second favorite is the 10th Ward pizza: the combination of meats, peppers, and ricotta makes it amazing. The challenge we have had with Lupo there isn't a place it eat inside, and it takes 20 mins for us to get home, so we have lost some of the warmth and the crust isn't quite as crispy; enter Coven Brewing. We go to Coven and get a beer, we have placed our order with Lupo and we will walk down, get our pizza, walk back and demolish it. Coven has some great beer, especially if you like IPAs; Lupo has Pittsburgh's best pizza; I cannot think of a better pairing. The service at Pizza Lupo is great, they are kind even when their phone is ringing off the hook. Our last time I was getting busy signals because calls were coming in so fast. Somehow they maintain the ability to get a pie out the door in under an hour. When we go there, there are boxes stacked high and they have a steady stream of people entering and leaving, never do I hear a complaint.

One size pizzas, Detroit style- rectangular, 6 slices. Very good pizza. We also ordered the chips and spinach dip - was a perfect starter , tasted home made-- both the chips and the dip! Paid street parking. PS- there are two unisex bathrooms and both have fun decor but one in particular has finished puzzles up on the walls that we found really fun.

The crust was soft and pillowy while still having a nice crispness to it. The sauce was bold and balanced so well with the cheese.

The toppings were thoughtfully portioned, with nothing overpowering. There was just enough of everything to create great pizza flavor without feeling heavy. It wasn't overly oily, but it wasn't dry or lacking richness either. Overall, the flavor, texture, and balance made this an easy-to-eat pizza that I would happily order again.
