This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The pizza sandwich was mind boggling and the pizza was almost as good. We sat at the bar and had a nice conversation with the bartender and pizza chef. I got a closer look at the process and science behind the oven and really appreciate the effort the employees put into the place. If I ever visit again, I will definitely be visiting here.
We were lucky to make it to the first cohort to enter the restaurant when it was opened at 5 pm. We arrived 10 min before 5 and the line was in already. The farro salad was creative and delicious. The pizza crust was soft and thin. Both the margarita and fungi pizza were amazing and just right. I heard that they have a take out joint, I might try if I need to.

Food was great. Place is a little cramped. We had to wait in line for a little before opening to make sure we got a seat. Cauliflower appetizer tasted good, but was a bit expensive for the size. Margherita pizza was delicious. Fungi pizza was good but the marg was better and cheaper. Would definitely recommend and return

Amazing pizza napoletana perfectly done.It’s a small place, get there early and wait less than 30min for a table.Although, waiting is not really a problem, you can stay at Bar Baleno right next door and they call you there.We had time for a Negroni outside before our table was ready.
I had one of their Wood-Fired pizzas and it was absolutely incredible. The crust was amazing it was crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside with a nice Smoky taste to it. All of their ingredients are of premium quality and absolutely fresh I highly recommend this place if you haven't been here already!

Lampo is an absolute delight.Be sure to arrive early and get in line, as this place is smaller than you think and doesn't take reservations. Luckily, even if there is a wait the bar next door is an excellent place to kill some time while you wait.I got the margherita DOC, which has buffalo cheese instead of cows milk cheese. Sounds weird but it was amazing. The buffalo milk cheese was tangy, more complex than the cows milk stuff. Just so good!The cocktails were fantastic as well!Seriously, you can't go wrong!Dietary restrictions: There were dairy free options, but the menu was very clear that this is not a gluten free restaurant.
Great service and even better pizza. It's as good a pizza you'll find anywhere. Crust and sauce are perfect; arguably the most important parts of a pizza :)

Top notch pizza place with friendly staff and very efficient service. The pizzas were all very tasty, as was the roasted cauliflower insalata.
