Oh Pupatella, how do I count that ways... Best neopolitan pizza anywhere.
Colleen NSeptember 20, 2014From Washingtonian: Get the Pie with Chorizo and Red Peppers and the not-to-miss risotto balls
The seafood pizza was very good. Excellent flavor balance. The brininess of the proteins was a great way to add the necessary salt without having cheese.
I've tried a bunch and never found a pie I love more than the classic margarita doc.
Shhhhh it want it all for my self... my absolute new fave for pizza. Also don't miss the arancino (fried risotto balls).
Try the panino - Pupatella's best kept secret. Made to order with almost any combination of ingredients.
Get the "Real Margherita" pizza. Deceptively simple -- it's amazing.
The oven was made with the ashes from mount Vesuvius. The pizza is evidence.
The pizzas with toppings are tempting, and taste wonderful, but the true star is the Margherita with real mozzerella.
Matt RobinsonJuly 31, 2011Everything's good, but the bruschetta with the ultra-ripe, tangy juicy salty cherry tomatoes is a requirement before your pizzas come out.
Love their lunch special - $9 for Arrugula salad, margharita pizza and a pellegrino drink. Yum!!
Mark AlvesAugust 26, 2013If you're in line for gelato only then you can skip skip to the front where there's a separate line.
- They added a ton of seats, but there are still not enough. After ordering food a 15+ minute wait for a table isn't uncommon. But the pizza is worth the wait.
Heather HurleyAugust 26, 2011Best pizza in the Arlington area. The risotto balls are great. They also coke with real sugar
Best pizza in Arlington. But the check ours process is a nightmare. Drinks gelatos and a tiny counter are too cramped.
Chris BeckerJune 4, 2010Awesome Neapolitan pizza. $10 or so gets you a nice big wood fired pie with a variety of fresh toppings.
Jen BurnettJune 30, 2010Generous portions and very fresh. Don't forget to try the risotto balls-wonderful!

"The ugliest Safeway I've been to, but parking is ample. If you're hungry, grab a pizza across the street at Pupatella. It's the best Neopolitan pizza in NoVa."
Matt Dicker - 5.1
"The Met Live in HD airs here. It's a great opportunity to see opera inexpensively. Arrive at least 20 minutes early to snag a decent seat. It almost always sells out."
Carrie Gouskos - 8.8
"Ice cream made on demand! Because of the process and fresh ingredients, the flavors are crisp and intense. And they have new flavors every week - we tried the apple pie and dark chocolate."
