Reviews for Pupatella in Arlington, VA
First impression of the outside decor was amazing. Yellow Fiat being a mascot was great touch. That being said, their pizza was... not as great as their decor. Margarita was OK. Truffle mushroom pizza was disappointing. Mushroom smelled old, and was veryvinegary. and quite slimy. I could smell the truffle oil but it was probably touch too overpowering. Cream sauce was too saltyIMO, making overall pizza very salty for creamy pizza. Maybe the pizza I chose wasn't their greatest menu but that particularpizza wasn't that good. Read more
Excellent pizza. We split two plus an appetizer and had plenty to take home. Great wine pairings as well. Cute outdoor seating... area. The staff seemed knowledgeable about the ingredients of the pizza which shows they definitely know their product. Read more
When you visit after moving 2000 miles away, it?s one of those places you get excited to visit. The sausage arancini has a... wonderfully salty, crispy crust with a gooey center. It?s seriously hard to go wrong. The margherita pizza is simple anddelicious. The onion tart pizza is surprisingly sweet and savory with the caramelized onions and bacon atop a tender crust andGruyère cheese. Read more
Looking for Neapolitan pizza? You will find it here. Thin crust, slightly charred, baked in stone oven. You can see the life... feed of the pizzaiolos stretching the dough while you wait, which is not that much, 10 mins. The place offers lots of optionsfor pizza based on 2 sauces: red & white. This time we tried the calabrese and spinach, respectively. The service is fast andgood. I see myself returning for more pizza here. Read more
Delicious. Reminded me of when I went to Naples and ordered 2 pizzas at the top two places. I?d say if you live in the DC... metropolitan area you can save several thousand dollars by skipping your Naples trip and coming here. However, it?s easy toenjoy it so much that you?ll use those same thousands of dollars on pizza here. They even have a TV live feed from the maindining area so you can see your creation being made.

The place doesn?t look very impressive, but the food was actually pretty good. The pizza was freshly made, and you can see the... oven when entering the door. We also enjoy the brussels sprouts. Since it?s made to order, it takes some time to wait for thefood (probably ~20 minutes), so it?s better to come here when you are not in a rush. Read more
The service of each clerk is very proactive and friendly. It feels like a small Italian shop. The taste of the food is not as... Italian, it is very ordinary. The pizza dough does not display the characteristics and flavor of the 900-degree log oven. Itmay be due to the different raw materials and fermentation methods. It feels too clean and lacks the flavor of Italian smallshops. My favorite for the whole meal is the salad, the vegetables are very fresh. Ice cream and tiramisu and espresso arerelatively common. But I would like to express my gratitude to all their employees for their hard work. I hope they can makemore wonderful progress in food. thanks. Read more
Closest to the real authentic italian pizza I?ve tasted in the area so far. Real firepit charred pizza crust topped with fresh... ingredients. These are not your typical salty, greasy, and dry pizza. These are baked to its perfection with simple butperfectly seasoned fresh and juicy ingredients. They would definitely taste better when dining in than delivered since pies areso delicately baked to its perfection. Good wine options and loved the italian vibe in the dining area. Will definitely comeback to try all of their pizza!!! Read more
