    This review is for 5/11/25. As much as I've hung out on that street, I've never been to this place. I ordered an old fashioned and the Di Patate Pizze with pepperoni and removed the potato's. The pizza was actually really good and fulfilling. Apparently they have a speakeasy behind the bar that leads to this huge space down in the anemones with a bar and several tables and couches to sit comfortably. There was only the manager who acted as the bar tender and three other people with us. Definitely gave a great intimate vibe that I'd like to enjoy again in the future. The manger did make me a cosmopolitan that was STRONG and addictive. Overall I enjoyed the staff and the atmosphere.

    Carbonara 2.0 Pizza
    Wendy Eli R.

    OVERALL: good pizza, good service. Worth the visit FOOD: we got the Diavola and Carbonara 2.0 pizzas and Vendura panini. The Carbonara was way too heavy. And a bit salty. I don't think it works well as a pizza. I'm surprised that it was one of the popular options - per the waiter. I was only able to eat one slice and I felt sick and bloated the next morning. Way too much cheese. The Diavola was super good though - a classic pizza. My friend liked her veggie panini. SERVICE: quick and efficient. Friendly servers! VENUE: small but enough seating and super cute. Looks like an upscale pizza parlor

    Overall this is a solid Italian place. Both entrees were about 22 dollars each which isn't an insane price for dinner in DC. Had the diavola which i wish was a bit spicer since it was advertised as a spicy pizza. But the cheese on it was great! The gnocchi was delicious and the crispy bread dipped in the sauce was amazing. I want to return for their happy hour for sure.

    Excellent pizza with unique toppings! The atmosphere wasn't too noisy and staff were friendly & attentive. All ingredients were fresh and high quality!

    Solid spot for amazing food - I had a yummy pepperoni pizza and a tasty salad...it's definitely lean more authentic, like you can't order ranch dressing. The chicken parm looked AMAZING too. It felt a bit crowded but other than that good vibe. Annoying there's no happy hour, but solid spot for a delicious dinner.

    Came here for a birthday brunch and had a wonderful time! We all ordered different brunch pizzas and they were amazing. I chose the Uova e Pancetti pizza, which was a cheese pizza with eggs and bacon pieces baked on top. The eggs were nice and the yolks were a little runny, the back was crispy and worked well. Definitely a "breakfast style" pizza. Since we were a larger group, our food took a little while to make because we all ordered pizzas, but the service was great. The mimosas were plenty and one person in our party who wasn't drinking got a very pretty mocktail from the bar. The atmosphere wasn't too busy or crowded and works well for our group. I would come back again for sure.

    Margherita Rivisitata
    Joshua K.

    Overall, a good experience. My friend and I came here on a recent busy Saturday night and amazingly were able to get a table for two without a reservation without a wait. A huge shoutout to the host who went above and beyond trying to find us seats, even asking the bartender to tell people to move down a seat so we could sit together. The ambiance goes for an upscale, classy vibe, with dozens of higher-end liquor bottles, soft lighting, white tablecloths, and wood. However, it was extremely loud and I had to significantly raise my voice in order for my friend to hear me. My friend and I ordered and shared the margherita rivisitata pizza, which is only one of two vegetarian pizza on the menu that I saw (there are three vegan options). Note that the menu available online does not reflect the current menu. The pizza itself was good but could have been better. The crust was excellent and there was a good cheese-sauce ratio. However, the sauce could have been more flavorful, the cheese had not completely melted, and the basil was inadequate. Despite the busy restaurant, my friend and I received quality, friendly service, including being able to place and receive our order in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend Lupo Pizzeria, albeit for a less-busy weeknight.

    It's a cute spot transporting you to Italy, and always ask for Gonzalo when you go in! He's hilarious and makes a mean drink! I've worked in the service industry for 10+ years and it's clear they're understaffed since on multiple occasions I see him as acting host, server, food runner and bartender, but I just wanted to shine a light on an employee who goes above and beyond to keep things afloat and is a true team player! Brought my little sister in recently and he made her feel so special hahaha she was bragging to her friends! So I'd always recommend coming to see him and for the best espresso martinis!

    Fungo al tartufo - delicious balsamic glaze, background - penne pesto pasta
    Rick S.

    Very good pizza, decent dessert, nice service, so-so ambiance. We had a shrimp pesto and fungi al tartufo between us. The balsamic glaze on the pizza was an excellent sweet touch to counter the salty cheese and rich mushrooms - really appreciated the pizza. The shrimp pesto pasta was good and surprisingly filling. We went for zeppole ripiene and tiramisu for dessert. Could've used more nutella spread on the zeppole (was craving them to be filled with it, but just dough over a nutella layer). The tiramisu was legit - nice expresso taste and decent amount of mascarpone. Wished the restaurant would've been a little warmer (it was below freezing and snowing when we went), and not a fan of the music they had blasting Friday. Otherwise, a shout-out to the good server & yum food.

    a much needed calamari and za after Saturday fun-day at @lupopizzeriadc on fourteenth street, NW, DC started with the fried calamari (my current food hyperfixation) and @lupopizzeriadc grilled lemon and aioli COME CORRECT -- but I still left some room for a few bites of the margherita pizza loaded with tomato sauce, buffalo campana and fresh basil went to bed with a full tummy & no regrets

    funghi
    Angel P.

    We came on a weekend after the bar so it was a limited "late night" menu. We got the Margherita rivisitata and funghi. Both were good, and service was fast. The pizzas had a nice crisp at the bottom. Both pizzas were enough for 6 people, and I think one pizza would be good for 2 people.

    Carbonara 2.0, tartufata
    Debbie K.

    Seating inside is very packed so you might even touch elbows with the table next to you but I think that's the whole point of Lupo. The cozy, family-like ambience makes for a perfect date night! Service was very familial, it seemed like the older lady was the manager/my aunt lol. She was so personable and was quick to take care of our order/needs. The pizzas were great! two pizzas were more than filling for two people who can really REALLY eat. I preferred the mushroom/truffle one over the Carbonara as the latter got a little too heavy really quick. Next time, I definitely want to try a pasta and a spicier pizza!

    Amazing pizza. Probably some of the best in DC. Never been inside but they gave away free pizza during World Pride 2025 right outside.

    Come for the drinks, stay for the vibes. I was visiting from out of town and hear this rooftop bar…read morewas a good spot to check out and I was not disappointed. The views were perfect and the service was just as good. Good spot for groups or a celebration with friends!

    What an...interesting experience…read more This bar sits on top of the Moxy Hotel, which is a sleek, modern spot in downtown DC. Unfortunately, getting to the rooftop was one of the most frustrating parts of the night. Access is only through the lobby, and the security team handling crowd control was completely disorganized. We were constantly being redirected with conflicting instructions: told to line up around the bar, then yelled at to move to the wall, then called to the elevator, then scolded for approaching it. It felt chaotic and unnecessarily hostile, like we were being managed instead of welcomed. To make things worse, IDs were checked multiple times (3-4 times per person) because there was no clear or centralized process. We were attending a birthday party that the venue itself had advertised on Instagram with ~75 guests expected at 9pm. When we arrived, we were told the rooftop was "closed" until 10. After waiting an hour in the lobby bar and dealing with the confusion above we finally got upstairs...only to find it already packed with people who had clearly been there for hours. The "reserved section" for our group was extremely underwhelming: a small space directly in front of a very loud DJ booth and a cold back corner where the heat lamps didn't work (and staff said there was nothing they could do). Service was just okay...no one was particularly friendly, but orders were eventually filled. The bar was oddly limited (only one beer option: Michelob Ultra), and some bartenders seemed unsure about basic drink requests (like a vodka soda with pineapple). The biggest issue came when we asked for the birthday cake we had given to staff earlier for storage. No one knew where it was. It took over 30 minutes and multiple staff members to locate it, and when we finally left for the night, the cake box was damaged beyond use with no remorse. Overall, this is much more of a crowded, club-style rooftop than a place for a planned event, dinner, or even conversation. The view is nice, but the experience didn't match the hype. If you go, expect a party vibe and minimal service and be prepared to navigate some very confusing (and inconsistent) security direction.

    Deliciousness - 3/5 Happiness -5/5…read more This place is for drinkers as it has no food, so if you want to lift an ale (and go out for dinner before or after, or bring food in with you), this is the place to be. They have a large beer, wine, and liquor list (although not nearly as many English beers as I expected from a place called Crown & Crow). I won't deny that I wasn't a fan of either of the mixed cocktails I had, with both (including strangely a smoky drink) being too sweet. But the beer was expertly poured and the wine was a very generous serving. The prices are also more than reasonable, which is great for a DC bar. But what really elevates this place is the service. By late night, the place was jam packed. But each and every bartender was extremely friendly and they expertly worked the crowd, getting drinks served quickly (which too few places manage to do) and swiftly clearing off tables of dirty glasses. I also greatly appreciated the free goldfish that they happily dole out to the patrons. The staff made this a really good time.

    We came in on a busy Saturday early-evening for drinks before dinner. The back room was…read more"reserved", but we were told to sit back there, given the size of our group and we sat nowhere near the party that was in there. The bartender in that area was friendly, but unhelpful, directing us to use the front room's bartender, even though she wasn't busy when we approached and asked for a couple of drinks. The bartender in the main room was great, he was very friendly and once he started a tab for me he said I could use the other bar too, I guess he wasn't aware the bartender at that other bar already told me she wouldn't help me. Regardless, the drinks we had were decent. For small bites, they only had gold fish crackers, I wish they would have had more to nosh on while drinking. Overall, not a bad visit.
