Lampo Neapolitan Pizzeria

Dylan Prévost

I’m a tough critic and I absolutely loved Lampo. It might just be the best pizza in Charlottesville. It’s as Neapolitan as you can get within 2 hours drive, and their sides/salads are diverting and interesting. You know you stumbled onto something good when Google Chrome asks you if you want to translate their website from Italian to English 😅 . MUST try the maple hazelnut roasted squash side - also some of the best squash I’ve ever had, and I’m a squashy guy. I’m not sure if this is seasonal but I had it in February. The portions are a bit small, I do think it’s possible for a normal adult to finish one pizza alone; this is not a criticism, just information for you, the person reading this review. I rarely like going one place twice but I will be back without a doubt!

EASILY my favorite restaurant in Charlottesville. I've been a student here for 2 years now and can't find a place that beats this dollar for dollar. Neopolitan pizza is on another level and Lampo does it excellently. Highly recommend you try this, regardless or not if you're a pizza fan or not. This will make you rethink what good pizza should taste like.

You have to try the pizzas that are on the D.C list, you'll thank yourself. The dough was thin but airy, the sauce had the right consistency with a floral aroma of basil, and the buffalo mozzarella was absolutely wonderful. The mushroom pizza, on the other hand, was too rich for my liking. But I'll definitely go back for some more pizza pie ;)

Great place to eat and enjoy drinks. We finally made it here to enjoy the hype, a recommendation that was well worth it. Everything that we ate was tasty and fresh, perfectly done. Staff was courteous and on point, delivering nothing but stellar service. Warning, there can be a wait since this place is known for its quality (but it's well worth it). On the day that we visited we probably waited 15-20 minutes to get a table, which didn't seem long to me. Once seated the food and drinks rolled out not soon after ordering. Restaurant is pretty clean, cozy and compact on the inside with additional seating on the outside. Definitely worth multiple visits and check out their wood fired oven!! Thanks for a great experience Lampo!!
