Lupa must work on the principle of less is more taken to the limit - nothing is more!!! The restaurant looks modern and attractive from outside. However, the pizzas are so far below average its not funny and they charge a better than premium price. $21 for 1 30cm diameter pizza takeaway! The base is marginal in quality (fairly sloppy in the centre), the topping is close to non-existent! Had a margarita - 4 small basil leaves across an extraordinarily thin and tasteless tomato sauce. Also ordered a bocconcini and prosciutto pizza - a few slices of prosciutto and two sad small bocconcini on a tasteless barely there sauce. I doubt there is a worse pizza in Wollongong - except perhaps Dominos - which is just across the road - but at least Dominos charges a price that matches the quality of their pizza. The only reason to go to Lupa is if you want to waste money on sub standard pizza - one star is too generous. The owners must be laughing all the way...

I would definitely come here again and recommend it to anyone looking for an...

Two groups of walk ins came in about 5 minutes after and got their orders taken and drinks. Was waiting 20 minutes no one took our orders or even asked if we wanted a drink. One of the walk ins that came in after us had been given their entrees by this point. Tried to get someone’s attention to take our order and they gave a hand signal to say a minute. Waited another 5 minutes then left. 30 minutes for other people who arrived after us to get their entrees and we didn’t even get asked for our order was ridiculous. Left for il niddos in balgownie because their customer service is...
