12/23/24 it is no longer a cozy eatery as it is only take away and delivery. Thought we would sit for lunch today and found out that isn’t an option. Also they have no restroom. Ordered the carnivore pizza with only sausage and skipped the pepperoni. Very little basil lots of sausage but small crumbled bits that ran down and off the pizza as we ate it. It tasted good and crust was good too. Only six little chairs inside in front of window and heaters I guess to make waiting acceptable. It was good pizza and maybe 4.25 but not a 5. I’ll try again next time in the neighborhood.

The pizza was decent but very burnt at the bottom such that our fingers were black just from holding it. The sauce wasn’t that spicy, it’s just the jalapeños that add the kick. I wouldn’t necessarily go back for it.

Lupo Rosso offers delicious pizza. We usually order from there and have not yet eaten in person but it is on our to do list. Location is a little isolated but so far their pizza has always been good whenever we ordered. When the weather gets a little warmer we will try it in person as well and update the review accordingly.

I order delivery from here when I have people over and it never disappoints! The pizza, wings and salad are all delicious- they have so much variety and different side dishes aside from the pizza. We got- broccoli rabe & spicy sausage, arugula and prosciutto, margerita and meat lovers (not pictured). Wings, dry and 1 buffalo. Goat cheese & ceaser salad. Food came hot, fresh and on time! I highly recommend this place! Plus, they sometimes do deals- 2 for 1 margerita pizzas!!

Yummmm!! Tiny pizza place. Only outside seating available for now. They have plenty of outside seating next to this pizza place. There are many good pizza place in New York City and Lupo Rosso is one of top tier pizza. First time seeing clam pizza in New York City. I’ve tried Clam, Prosciutto & Arugula, Margherita, Nonna Rosso, and Arancini. I liked their clam pizza more than the ones I had in Connecticut. The pizza dough is chewy and thin. Fresh basil and cheese taste amazing. My best Arancini so far. I have to mention that their pizza taste even better when it’s cold.

I had the honey pepper, and the shroom, both delicious. it’s pizza napoletana, and they certainly leave their own special signature in their product. Love it

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lupo Rosso is hands down some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The pizza comes out insanely fast—about 10 minutes—and everything we tried was excellent. They also run a great BOGO (buy one, get one free) special, and most of the pies fall into that deal, which makes it an unbelievable value. Highly recommend the Nonna pie—it’s a meatball pie that literally tastes like eating a meatball hero in pizza form. The vodka pesto pie is also outstanding and packed with flavor. Quick, fast service, amazing pizza, and great specials. If you’re in Long Island City, this place is a must.
