February is the month of love, and it’s no coincidence that a day commemorating our favourite food falls just a few days before Valentine’s Day. 9 February 2021 marks World Pizza Day! Make sure you book a table at your local Lupa Den to enjoy the best pizza in South Africa! Here are just a few reasons we’re so passionate about this Italian flatbread covered in sauce and cheese.
In pizza we crust
Pizza has been around for centuries! Any food that is still trending and popular after that amount of time is a food worth having! What makes Lupa pizza the best pizza in Durban? Lupa pizzas have thin crusts that are slightly crispy, and are wood fired at 450 degrees Celsius using Italian tomatoes and the finest mozzarella. View their pizza menu here.

Fact: Pizza is not junk food
Most commercial pizzas are made with unhealthy ingredients, including highly refined dough and heavily processed meat. Lupa pizzas are handcrafted using only the finest, wholesome ingredients. You also have the option of ordering a healthier, gluten free base. Real, authentic Italian pizza is not classified as junk food.
