"Set in an 1800s brick building in the Butchertown neighborhood, Pizza Lupo is run by husband-and-wife owners Adam Turla and Sarah Balliet, whose brother, chef Max Balliet, heads the kitchen. The restaurant serves about a dozen wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas, which locals have voted the best in town. The Sfincione, for instance, consists of cooked tomato and anchovy sauce, Calabrian breadcrumbs, shallots, garlic, and mozzarella. The restaurant also offers a few non-pizza bites, such as braised cabbage and smashed potatoes, as well as a wide selection of wines." - Lennie Omalza

This is the best pizza I’ve ever had. This is saying something because I make a point to try a different pizza place twice a month and definitely other cities too. Everything is so fresh and it came out so fast! I can’t believe I have lived in Louisville for so long and never tried this place before! I can’t wait to come back.

OMG. I've never been so excited to eat pizza before today. This place serves wood-fired Neapolitan pizza with sourdough base. Absolutely delicious. They make spaghetti and meatballs with hand made pasta. It was so amazing, it is hard to describe. We came here on a weekday because they only serve this Pizza Fiore from Monday to Thursday, it's not even on the menu 🤤

It all looked so good, but if you are there mon-thur order the pizza Fiore! It's clear labor of love, but the fresh burrata and cold contrast to the hot pizza and amazing dough. The menu all looked good. Super cool spot and the wine list was extensive and unique. The service was top notch.

My partner and I ate here on 9/28/22 and we were blown away. Restaurant is adorable, food was incredible, service was fantastic. Only negative would be the tiny parking lot that doesn’t loop around, but still an amazing experience. Can’t wait to go back

sos, i am lost in the pizza sauce 🍕 🆘 this very cute, practically hidden pizza spot is delicious. if you didn’t know, i’m talking about pizza lupo tucked away in butchertown right behind a flood wall. they pride themselves on wood-fired sourdough pizza, homemade pasta & flavors that will blow you away. we got the milk & honey pizza along with the ricotta stuffed agnolotti pasta. i have to say, every single bite was immaculate. we were there for dinner before a night out to celebrate my birthday & it was the perfect meal. visit their website to find hours of operation & current menu items 🍝

Definitely a don't-miss for pizza fans. The sourdough crust is fantastic, sauce is on point, the toppings (especially the mushrooms) are some of the best I've ever had.

Back for the Pizza Fiore for the second time in a month! The ricotta stuffed crust paired with a burrata topping is truly a delicious culinary experience. Make sure to request a side of Mariana and red chili flakes to really kick it up a notch.

This was our first time trying Pizza Lupo’s. It was Delicious! We got the margherita pizza and the funghi. The garlic butter was also amazing. We will be back.

Best pizza in Louisville! Honestly we didn't have any other pizza while visiting, so that may be a bold claim but they have won best pizza in Louisville a few years in a row and for a good reason. My husband is kind of a pizza snob and loved it. We ordered the Porcellino pizza which had a ham of some sort and arugula and it came out perfectly cooked with a nice crisp on the crust but still light and airy on the inside. We also ordered a pistachio gelato for dessert - it was good but we had better recently, so I would not say it was our favorite but still high on the list. I would definitely recommend making a reservation as the inside is pretty small.

Long story short, we drive in from Indianapolis specifically for Lupo. Best restaurant in Louisville if you value quality food. Impeccable food, chef curated, handmade, impossibly fresh. All the things. 10/10. The chef has a seasonal menu and we've never had a dish we didn't love. The service is always quick and friendly once you're seated. You need a reservation on the weekend to avoid long waits. PLAN AHEAD on to-go orders. Our last pick-up order we placed was 30 minutes after they opened on a Saturday and it was a 120 minute wait. Worth it every time though!!

First time trying Lupo and would definitely go back! Pepperoni pizza, pasta with pork, and cabbage were all very tasty options. The pizza crust was perfect and pizza itself had the right amount of toppings. Ranch was great. Overall the flavors were spot on and it looks like they have a great variety of unique flavor combinations. Nice patio seating and decently quick service. The restaurant itself was clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. They have a parking lot right next to the building, but it was full so we parked in the overfill lot across the street (not far at all) Would recommend!

Yelp
This is by far the best pizza in Lousivlle Kentucky. The food is a delicacy, the service is friendly and the atmosphere is friendly, family friendly and dates friendly. Highly recommended, all the pizzas, pasta and apps. Would also suggest making reservation especially for holidays and weekends. Bon appetit

Yelp
Heck yes! This place is such a treat! Highly recommend. This pie made my little heart so happy. The sourdough crust is so tasty and crisp. The sauce and topping distribution was perfection. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was knowledgeable and friendly and prompt. The playlist also created a great & chip vibe. Will include this on a regular rotation.

Pizza was good and the atmosphere was nice. Unable to do half toppings which was disappointing because one of us is vegetarian. Overall it was an okay dining experience.

Great location, bike rack for bikes, outdoor seating but service was below average at best- we had to fill our waters, server was rude. Very good pizza, had honey pepperoni and Margherita pizza. Great Spicy Mule and Lemonade. If better service better rating. Hopefully next time. Really good pizza!

I feel like the luckiest girl to have finally had a chance to go here. The crust..... the crust is what dreams are made of - and the sausage....ohhh the house made sausage. Got the agnolotti to start with - delicious creamy red sauce with delish ricotta stuffed pasta. Milk and honey. Don't sleep on this one. Omg. So good. Foire pizza. I have been coveting this ricotta stuffed crust, fresh burrata pizza since Covid. It really, truly, is everything I dreamt it would be. I added sausage, well, because...... sausage! Their home made sausage is epic. (But the only make this pizza T-W-Th.... Go getcha one!!!! I can't wait to go back!!!

Lupo in Louisville, KY, is a culinary gem and a great place to socialize with friends. Each bite of their Neapolitan pizza was a revelation. The thin, perfectly charred crust had that ideal combination of crispiness on the outside and softness inside, just as it should be. The San Marzano tomato sauce was rich and flavorful, and the toppings were fresh and thoughtfully chosen. Service was average for a busy restaurant, and the ambiance was rustic and warm. Lupo is a must-visit for pizza enthusiasts and anyone seeking an authentic taste of Naples right in the heart of Louisville. It's a little slice of Italy that never fails to impress with its commitment to quality and tradition.

Yelp
90% good 100% of the time. I've had dried out pizza one out of 10 times here. You'll feel like you're in Italy with the movie posters and cozy atmosphere. Service is always stellar and I love the natural wood and mint green booths. The milk and honey CANNOT be missed. Witch cult and garlic martini cocktails are awesome; they have a wide variety of natural wines as well.

Mallory R.

Yelp
We went here for a date night and everything was great. We got the sting like a bee pie and the crust was perfect - not too thin but had a good crisp bottom and the outside crust was nice and bubbly. You could probably split a pie between three people if you had an appetizer with it. We also tried the garlic butter and ranch (I think) sauces. The garlic butter was almost whipped and looked like lotion but it was good. Ranch was good too, it wasn't your basic ranch from the store. Service was friendly. Something happened with our pizza and they had to remake it so it took an hour to get the pie but they knocked off the pie from our final bill so I can't complain about that. There's also parking right behind the building or in a lot across the street.

Wow, this is some very solid pizza! Quick Yelp search had this place pop up as having some of the best za in Louisville. Welp, they ain't lying. Perfectly charred crust, great quality cheese and just the right amount of sausage. Def don't like where pizza prices are trending but this was a shareable pizza with another dish added in. Service was friendly but the space was a bit muggy inside. My white wine turned warm and had lots of condensation fairly quickly. This should definitely be a must try spot of your list. Parking down the street makes this super easy to get to and enjoy.

This spot was SO GOOD! I absolutely loved the pizza and gnocchi! A great spot to share pizzas with a group. Also the patio was so cute. We loved sitting out there!!

Had a reservation for a birthday dinner on Saturday night. Had a reservation and they sat us right away. Friendly and prompt wait staff. Beer/alcohol drinks were a little pricey (house vodka drink $8 and draft beer $9). Pizza was wonderful Neapolitan style. Crust was delicious.

Rebecca T.

Yelp
Not the greatest dining experience. We were sat quickly. Didn't take too long for server to take our order. The place is very small and cramped. And it was very noisy. They have sound dampening things on the ceiling (at least I think that's what they are), but it was still really noisy. Not a soothing dinner experience. Pizza was not all that good, in my opinion. The pizza sauce was not very flavorful. And it had some burnt spots, but that might just be normal from the pizza oven, not sure. Prices were high for pizza. Don't plan on going back anytime soon. If I ever did, it would have to be during off hours when it would hopefully be more quiet.

This place is cute!!! The service is great, and the pizza was wonderful. We sat out on the patio and ordered Milk & honey, with the garlic butter dip for the crust. So good!

We made the ultimate commitment this past weekend and drove to Lupo from Michigan. Yes...we drove 8 hours 1 way to see what the hype was about. The 8 hour drive back the next morning was tolerable because of the left over pizza. The building and neighborhood is super cool. Lots of old brick and cool architecture in every direction of this quiet little neighborhood. Walking in we were greeted by the great waitstaff and promptly seated ( yeah, we got reservations before making the drive...just in case). I started with a black manhattan which was fantastic. My wife had a spicy martini. The food is fantastic. We tried a spicy pasta dish and 2 pies. We are already planning our next trip back. Thank you Lupo.

Possibly the best pizza I have had in my life!! Love this place! Recommend the ranch dipping sauce (has some kick) and the whipped garlic butter.

The Pizza Gods have blessed this place! First off, what a cool place tucked away in a quaint neighborhood. Casual vibe and welcoming, family atmosphere. I highly recommend the Wood Fired Oysters! Delicious!!! You won't regret ordering them. I went for the Sting Like A Bee Pie. This is possibly one of the best pizzas around! Great crust, sauce, and the honey is a delight. Enjoy!!! Thank you LUPO!!!

Holly T.

Yelp
My boyfriend and I were craving a good Margherita/Neapolitan pizza and this seemed like a great place to try. This pizza definitely hit the spot for us... it was so yummy and perfectly wood-fired. I also wanted to try a couple of their oysters and enjoyed those as well... very tasty. I can't remember the name of my cocktail; however, it was served without ice or a cold glass. Later, I ended up asking for a glass of ice for the cocktail and it was MUCH better cold than the way they served it. We originally made reservations at the communal table (all that was available for our time selection) but upon arriving, we asked about outside seating and ultimately went with their outdoor patio. Nice little patio with shade and fans. The location of this restaurant is not the best and the parking isn't great either. Otherwise, great spot! DO NOT pull into the parking lot unless you see a spot because it's one way, in and out. We did not know this, pulled in, no spots available, had to back our way out. Additional parking is diagonal across the street. We'll be back to try other pizzas!

Dear god, Holy father. Jesus. Make this restaurant's phone number a suicide hotline so that those who are having trouble finding a reason to live may see the error in their ways. This is literally one of the greatest pizza pies I've ever eaten in my entire life. Don't be fooled by my picture of the crust, I assure you I ate that too and picked with my fingertips the delicate pieces of charcoal crumbs that flake off the crispy crust off of the plate for thirty minutes afterwards to make sure I ate every fucking crumb. The chef who makes this pizza used LUPO, a noun meaning wolf in Italian, as the name of the place. You can come hear and learn it's a verb for the sweet sweet ravenous, delectable eating you will do here.

Finally tried the infamous Pizza Lupo! Got the sting like a bee, side ranch and garlic sauce to-go. My drive back home was about 15-20 mins. Inside was decorated nice, quite cozy and seemed like a nice place to enjoy dinner. I'll start by saying that if you love Neapolitan style pizza you'd get in Italy, then this pizza is for you. I could totally see this being in Naples or something at a legit and popular pizzeria spot.....That being said, it's just not my favorite style honestly. While I definitely did enjoy it, I personally don't know if I'd get it again and wouldn't call it the best in the city in my eyes. You could very well think otherwise and that's fine.. The sting like a bee pie was good with its crisp pepperoni's and the hot honey. My personal issue with Neapolitan style is the toppings/cheese coverage and too much crust (I do love the dough though). I just don't like the cheese/pepp all in the center and then a bunch of crust...Not my thing. The char crust bubbles were awesome though but I'm more of a NY style guy for what it's worth. One thing that disappointed me was the size of the sides. Those little cups of ranch and garlic sauce were definitely not worth $2 each. I was expecting them to be at least twice that amount honestly. The pizza itself was a bit pricey too, but honestly I know it's the highest quality ingredients and I'll pay for that for any type of meal. I would still go back as there's several other things on the menu I'm interested in trying but won't likely get the pizza again. From this first experience, overall it's still really good pizza and well worth a visit! Don't let my personal preferences sway you!

Yelp
Easy five stars. Delicious Neapolitan style pizza. Ordered the Margherita with Buffalo Cheese .Tomato sauce was the star of this pizza and was great. If you are coming here without a reservation, I'd recommend getting early or be fine with sitting at the bar. The one note I'd make about the pizza is unlike pizza in Naples, the pizza pie themselves are quite large and you can easily split it with one other person. So keep that in mind.

Erin C.

Yelp
The best pizza in louisville!! I'm obsessed with this place and I recommend it to everyone. I love the sting like a bee but I'm excited to try other things. The menu can be slightly limiting but if you know what you're getting in to then it's an amazing place.

Pizza Lupo's pizza does not disappoint. In the past, their quality of pizza has stood out on previous visits. On this occasion, I had another fantastic pizza. This time I got the Sting Like a Bee pizza. I had gotten this before and once again, it was a great pizza. My only small gripe is that I wish they expanded the menu, I feel like this would be my absolute favorite place if they had some good bread sticks or cheese sticks you could get as an app.

Amanda S.

Yelp
Best pizza in Louisville. Get the sting like a bee pizza or try the pizza fiore (only available on weekdays). If you're lucky and the spaghetti and meatballs are on the menu, get it. Also big fan of the gnocchi and agnolotti. Cute little Italian spot inside with bar seating available if wanted. Also has nice patio seating on the side of the building. The entire staff is super friendly and always open the answering questions or providing recommendations.

Jason S.

Yelp
Excellent wood fired pizza and we loved the design and flavors. We got 2 sting like a bee one with Burrata and one add arugula.

Jenna L.

Yelp
Can I review a place more than once? This is the best pizza in the city of Louisville. It is not Midwest pizza, Detroit pizza, Chicago pizza, stick to your ribs pizza. This is Neapolitan style where details, time, and quality ingredients count the most. My favorite is to get the sting like a bee with hot peppers and a side of Burrata and garlic sauce. Have Nate at the bar make a delicious witchcult or paper plane as a pairing and you'll have a lovely evening. P.S. please bring back my favorites from past menus : the Vesuvius, pizza fiore, fresh ricottas and side, fava bean hummus over ricotta, bananas and blow... please

Delicious pizza! I was in Louisville to see friends and they strongly recommended Pizza Lupo. It was very easy to make reservations and the staff was very welcoming. Loved the whipped garlic butter and all of the other sauces they had!

After a long day of building my wife a deck for her She Shed, we both sat in our bourbon room discussing what we wanted for dinner. Since we were both in agreement that we would not be cooking, a dinner destination was required. My wife spoke up and remembered a pizza restaurant one of her friends had recommended at an event we had attended together earlier in the week. I was game since I love pizza and we had never been to Lupo before. We loaded up the car and headed down to Pizza Lupo. As with all the places around Frankfort, my thoughts quickly turn to parking before I even arrive at my destination. I was pleasantly surprised to see they have their own parking lot. While it is not very big, maybe enough for 10 cars if that, we were lucky enough to find an open spot. We found out as we were leaving, that they have additional parking available around the corner from the restaurant. We walked in and told the 3 pleasant ladies standing at the reception desk that we had a 5:30 reservation which they quickly confirmed and led us to our table. When our most excellent server, Ana, approached our table, we let her know that it was our first time in Lupos. Ana was more than happy to explain the menu, make recommendations and tell us about their drink menu. While we contemplated Ana's suggestions, we made a decision about our drinks. My wife had her standard Old Fashion, and I ordered a Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen beer. I can not pronounce the name, but it was a very good beer. My wife, who is truly an old fashion snob, really enjoyed her Old Fashion. So much so she ordered 2. Now for the hard part. What food to order? In some restaurants you go to, the patrons stay to themselves, in others, patrons feel free to talk to their dining neighbors. Why the difference, who knows, but I am glad that Lupo's patrons are more than happy to talk to other tables. A couple a few tables away spoke up and recommended that we order a Sting Like a Bee pizza with Toum sauce on the side. Since Ana had told us that the Sting Like a Bee pizza was their top seller and that the Blistered Peas were fantastic, we placed our order which Consisted of the highly recommended Sting Like a Bee pizza, Blistered Peas, and a side of Toum sauce. It did not take long for the blistered peas to be delivered to our table. My wife and I shared them and we both agreed they were very good. Never had any peas prepared like that before, but I really enjoyed them. Not long after we finished up the Blistered Peas, our pizza arrived. Now would be the time to say that I have never had a pizza in which one of the ingredients was Honey, so I was very interested in how this particular combination of ingredients was going to taste. The pizza sitting on the table between my wife, and I smelled fabulous. I selected my first piece and put it on my plate. Now for the true test of the pizza, taste. I took my first bite. My mouth was overjoyed with the flavor. It was simply amazing. I am still shocked at just how good that pizza was. As I sat there trying to collect my thoughts about what words to use so I could explain just how good the pizza was, my wife beat me to a verbal expression of the taste of the pizza. She blurted out, "Oh my god, that is good!!!". She went on to confirm my thoughts that this had to be the best pizza ever. And I would have to agree, it was very very good. I must come clean; I am a pizza snob. Pizza is one of my four basic food groups, along with Buffalo Wings, Sushi, and Hot Dogs. I have had pizza all over the world, and Lupos was the best I have had so far. I know some of you are thinking, hey they had been working in the yard all day so they were staved when they came to Lupo. And you would be right. But just to make sure that my stomach was not ruling my thoughts, I tried the leftovers the next day, the leftovers were as good as the pizza was in the restaurant the day before. Oh, and we cannot forget about the Toum sauce. It was as good or better than the pizza. I had to pry it away from my wife a few times so I could enjoy it. As we finished up a new couple was seated near us, and as the previous couple had done with us, we shared our recommendations. After we paid for our meal, and we were walking out, the gentleman to who we had made our recommendations to, gave me a thumbs up since he was enjoying his slice of pizza and Toum sauce. As we left, we noticed the restaurant had filled up fast, proving to us that we are not the only ones who enjoy Pizza Lupo. As we pulled out of the parking lot, I was informed that I will be making stops on the way home from work to pick up pizza for dinner in the near future.

Amazing Pizza, Neapolitan style 100%! Clear winner for Best pizza in the city. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to feel in Italy for a little bit!

Lupo is my brother's fiance's favorite restaurant. It's a cozy building on the north end of Frankfurt Ave. Parking was easy for me, but on a busy night, parking will be difficult. I really wanted to love Lupo. Generally, faux fancy is not my style. Lupo fits the faux fancy bill. Prices are high and neither service nor quality sports it. Don't misinterpret that to say the service is bad. The service meets expectations for a discount brand. The food is good, not great. Limited selection, limited customization caused discomfort when ordering. Limited bar service isn't ideal either. Unfortunately, Lupo is not my style. I have no interest in returning. It may tantalize your taste buds and I do recommend that you try it.

I eat a lot of pizza in Louisville and this place has always stayed in the top 3 for me. Cool vibes and wonderful authentic ingredients.

Colin M.

Yelp
I don't care what your vibe is, as long as the pizza is on point. And Lupo certainly has a "vibe" and the pizza to back it up - think neopolitan on steroids. The house this was in is a fun ambiance and I personally enjoyed some of the 'Jaws' items on the walls (and the beer on the menu). Outside of pizza, I found the menu to be lacking in both variety and options that you'd want or expect for a sit down menu. Their caesar salad was unique and I enjoyed it, but the rest of my group didn't seem to. Lack of a dessert option caught me eye, but after the pizza I couldn't eat anything else anyhow.

Tina W.

Yelp
This is one of the best pizza I have ever had. We chose the pepperoni pizza and it was delicious. Our waiter was awesome and made sure our water was refilled and checked back frequently to make sure we did not need anything. Definitely recommend this restaurant and you won't be disappointed.

Kelsey P.

Dropped in on a weeknight and it was properly busy, but since it was just the two of us, we got seated right away. We ordered the Marinara (no cheese!) and it was absolutely delicious. Pretty much refreshing and really light without the cheese. We also got the Gnocchi Bolognese, which was very tasty as well. The service was awesome and we can't wait to go back to Lupo again!

Cassandra L.

Yelp
Honestly the crust was good but the pizza was a disappointment especially after waiting over an hour for it to arrive. My friend finished his pasta (which was very salty) before I even got my pizza. Not to mention tons of gnats were flying all around the bar. They charge $2 for ranch and it's in a tiny dish and was really garlicky. The pizza once it came was so soupy. I got the milk and honey and the entire middle was just wet. Way way too expensive for what we got.

Eating here was an amazing experience, cute building, good ambiance, fun drink options and phenomenal pizza. A little pricy but well worth it. Good for casual meals or special occasions.

The Falafel pita was beyond words. We also had the Milk& Honey pizza which was amazing. Great atmosphere. Awesome service. We will be back!

This is one of my favorite pizza places down in Louisville, Kentucky. I totally regret not getting a second pizza before going back to Columbus but that just means I have a reason to visit Louisville again! I love me a good Neapolitan brick oven style pizza. This baddie was piping hot to the touch and delicious Sting like a bee: Detroit style pepperoni cups, milled organic san marzano tomatoes, house hot honey, choice of fresh or aged mozzarella, fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil, parmigiano reggiano. And ofc we washed it down with some delicious natural wine. FYI, they have monthly natural wine club!

Olivia P.

Yelp
Okay this is my new favorite pizza bar in Louisville. The aesthetic, the pizza, the wine, and the service were all 10/10. I loved the wine options so much so that I bought a bottle to go (which they sell cheaper than buying a bottle to drink in house FYI). I tried the Sting Like a Bee Pie which was full of pepperoni and the perfect amount of sweetness from the honey. The freshness of the pizza alone is enough to make me want to come back! Can't wait to try the others from the menu.

Karl H.

Yelp
Lupo was alright. I really enjoyed the ambiance of the place. I sat at the bar and service was EXCELLENT. Enjoyed listening to Mazzy Star and other good music they were playing. The beer selection is not large but they have Saison DuPont so I was content. The pizza, while pricey, was good although I found it to be too bready / doughy, thus a little unbalanced. I still liked it though and I would still come back if I'm in the area again.

Bob T.

Yelp
We had such high hopes on our pizza tour of Louisville. I am sad to report that Lupo did not measure up. So - what were the issues? 1. Lots of crust and not enough "pizza". 2. The signature of well done crust is quite honestly burned. Even when we asked them to undercook it. 3. The sausage on our pizza was so crumbled that we barely tasted it. 4. Parmesan cheese is $2 extra (what?? That's like McDonalds charging you extra for ketchup on your fries.). 5. Fungi pizza had an odd/strong flavor. 6. It is EXPENSIVE. $77 (before tip) for two basic pizzas, one beer, and a gelato. No,no,no!! It is a quaint building with beautiful exposed bricks. The outdoor seating is very nice. Sorry, Lupo. We must have missed something because we disagree with the other high reviews. On to our next pizza place!!!

I've been curious about pizza lupo for some time. Today me and my friend decided to give it a shot. We were not disappointed ! We sat at the communal table, if you want a booth, I highly recommend making a reservation prior. The pizza foire is only served M-Th. That is what we got. It's a cheese lovers dream! The crust is stuffed with ricotta, there is also a ball of soft burrata cheese in the middle. We added pepperoni for topping. The wood fire sourdough is very soft with the perfect amount of chew. Me and my roommate both went on about how tasty the sauce was. I could've went for an extra cup of pizza sauce just to dip my ricotta crust. The atmosphere is relaxed but sophisticated. Lots of alcohol choices at the bar. Next time I am going to give the pasta a try! I would absolutely recommend this place for a date night or just pizza!

This is the best pizza and pasta in Louisville. Their oysters are always fresh and delicious especially with their minuet sauce.

I ordered the pepperoni and hot honey pizza for delivery on a Sunday evening. Pizza came hot and fresh. However, I wasn't a huge fan. Pizza is one of those subjective things and there are so many different types! This pizza was a wood fired pizza with plain pizza crust. Didn't have much flavor (the crust). I thought the pepperoni was good but the honey on the pizza was weird In my opinion. It was edible but I don't think I'd order again.

Ambiance: Fun but loud atmosphere Service: Good but could of done better. My online order was made late as I waited in the small waiting area for 15-20 minutes after it was to be ready. They apologized for the delay since their oven was not working at the optimal level and gave me 10% off. I was really disappointed in the tiny portion of the expensive lobster pasta and one of the pizza was so extremely overcooked underneath that I could only taste the burnt aftertaste. The Fiore pizza was SO salty, I just couldn't even eat it. I had high expectation for this place but was really let down. Perhaps in the distant future I'll give them another try but will be hesitant. Their Sting Like a Bee is usually pretty good. Food: I had high hopes but was disappointed. Not sure if it was that evening but will not be ordering from there any time soon.
