Super nice owner and staff, great pizza! Thanks kerran!
The cashier was very friendly despite my being weird. The pizza was excellent. Way better than I expected. Everything tasted fresh.
The pizza here is great, and the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. Obviously your mileage may vary, but I would gladly order from them again.
We had a triple pepperoni and a margerhita pizza. The dough is excellent, just chewy enough to keep it honest, while seasoned enough to make the crusts worth the effort. Their sauce I was particularly fond of, with a tart and genuine tomato quality that was reminiscent of pizza parlors from my youth, before overly processed sauces sullied the idea of a marinara. Their pizza oven also applies just the right amount of oiled glaze to the bottom of the pizza, leaving it golden and sealed.
The triple pepperoni was true to the title, with copious amounts of the succulent staple often piled on top of each other. They may have ruined me for other extreme pepperoni pizzas.
To be completely honest though, the Marg could have been better. I know that fresh basil and mozzarella slices are not the cheapest ingredients, but a ratio of one each per slice is getting a little stingy. This could have been the singular, shining specimen of their artistry, but it left me feeling a little let down. However, we had several medium pies, so perhaps the large fares differently.
You will have a little trouble locating the place due to the overbearing adjacent storefronts. It is seriously like the store next door is looming over Lupi's and demanding its lunch money. Parking is at a serious premium on this street in general, and Lupi's is getting the short straw in a serious way. Maybe park across the street in the derelict car wash or something.
