The Fancy Pepperoni pie at Lupo is built on a naturally leavened crust, topped with tomato sauce, basil, mozzarella, and a generous layer of pepperoni.[21] What makes this version distinctive is the airy, flavorful dough and the attention to balance between spicy cured meat, herbs, and cheese rather than just piling on toppings.[21] Each slice has a light, crisp edge, a soft center, and pepperoni that renders just enough fat to mingle with the sauce without overwhelming it.[21] Coverage by local food writers has emphasized how this pepperoni-focused pizza can change minds about the style, thanks to the crust quality and thoughtful topping composition.[21]
