Lupa Roman Pizza is now open in South St. Pete! Come taste real Roman-style pizza.
Bringing Roman Pizza to the St. Petersburg Food Scene
We come from an Italian American family where all important matters were discussed around a meal. One of our fond memories is of the Roman-style pizza unique to our small town in the Pocono Mountain area of Pennsylvania. The pizza is a square/rectangular slice that is one of most popular street foods in Rome and is still a staple of our hometown. The toppings are kept simple so that the crust, tomato sauce, and cheese are highlighted. The cheese goes to the edges, like Detroit-style pizza. The crust is more like a focaccia than Sicilian pizza. And there is always some fresh herbs – primarily basil.

At Lupa, we stay true to the Roman Pizza method: cold fermentation, carefully sourced ingredients, and baked in long rectangular pans. Roman pizza is different than Neapolitan pizza (thin, chewy center crust with high edges) and different than Sicilian pizza (thicker, denser, and spongier).
