"Lupo is a pizzeria full of leopard-spotted sourdough pies, but it's not a mistake that this spot is first on the list. You cannot ignore their pasta di fernada, a mountain of rigatoni cooked to a precise chew, tossed in a creamy tomato situation with crumbles of sausage and pops of fresh basil. It's one of the greatest bowls of pasta in town, and you can enjoy it at the bar with a glass of natural rosé from Maryland or Austrian Blaufrankish. End things with a scoop of homemade ice cream because you're an adult." - aimee rizzo
"Pizza chased with ice cream has been a sacred birthday meal since the dawn of Chuck E. Cheese. At Lupo, you can experience this same joyful ritual, but with a dimly lit ambiance and char-bubbled pies fit for grown adults (without any ball pits). Start with delicious white bean toasts topped with crisped pancetta bits and olives, followed by garlicky cavatelli tossed in chili oil, wood-roasted vegetables, and tangy sourdough pizzas. If all you do is ensure that the cacio e pepe and burrata soppressata pies hit the table, you’ve done your job as the guest of honor. And for dessert, you can get scoops of housemade ice cream with flavors ranging from brown sugar pine to rum-spiked carrot cake." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"We understand, though, that most ice cream does contain dairy—and the best cow milk-based stuff in town doesn't come from a scoop shop. Enter Lupo, a pizzeria in Fremont where you come for the blistered sourdough pies but stay (please, stay) for the house-churned ice cream. This stuff is flawless, with flavors like custardy sweet cream with vanilla bean flecks, silky double chocolate chip loaded with an ideal surplus of salt, and the greatest pistachio we have literally ever tasted. "Too full for dessert" is a concept that shouldn't even cross your mind here." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"This Fremont restaurant stands out for its sourdough pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven covered in red tile behind the service counter. The menu offers classic pizzas, including marinara, pepperoni, and Margherita, as well as a cacio e pepe pie and a burrata soppressata pizza with hot honey and Calabrian chili pepper." - Harry Cheadle
