Great pizza, but the bourbon selection is just amazing. Highly recommended. Check out the bottle of blantons gold!

It's been a few years since I've been to Pupatella. This is the first time at this location. I've been to the Arlington location a handful of times. There is an ample amount of parking. The service was excellent with the both servers checking back in. The lunch special was a solid deal with a pizza and salad included. The Chocolate Panna Cotta was also delicious.

Food is always excellent and the service is awesome too! Whenever we come to Reston this is our place to go!

Wow, the service here is phenomenal. Matt was so knowledgeable about when the restaurant opened and gave us some history. They were helpful with recommendations and they not only helped us but encouraged us to try their gelato which was absolutely amazing. The salted caramel and pistachio were excellent. We got the garlic mozzarella bread and the Caivano pizza. The ambiance of the restaurant makes me want to hang out in here. The vibe is relaxed and fun, there's a couple of games, great happy hour. On top of all of this, the prices are excellent for the quality of the food and the service. Everyone should give this place a try as it is a great place to hang out with friends, go on a date, or have a solo meal.

food was delicious, staff welcoming and told us interesting background on food. Myra was fantastic. Will come back here more often.

Great pizza, accommodating staff, and friendly service. Liliana was great. Thanks for the whole experience!

Was in the area, late lunch and decided to order a single to-go pizza. The nice thing about Pupatella is, for carryout, it's a quick, no hassle in-and-out - lots of lot parking. I dig that and frankly it's a consideration when I want to do takeout. I had had pizza from here once previously, recently (see my prev review) and really liked it. It reminded me a bit of Andy's without having to drive to Tyson's or Fairfax. Both Pupatella and Andy's serve Neapolitan NY style pizza with the foldable crust consistency, not the thick crusts of Domino's or Papa John's but not a crispy thin crust. The pies come in 1 size - 11" - they're cut into quarters which makes sense especially since the slices are foldable. As I said in my previous review, they don't skimp on toppings (see my pics) which is a nice touch. This time, I wanted to try something different so opted for the Ham (Prosciutto) and Mushroom - not cheap - $15.50. (The other pies I tried the last time - the Prosciutto Arugula ($17.50), Margherita ($16.50) and the Caivano ($18.75) - were even more expensive than this one.) (Btw, an Andy's whole pie (18") is way cheaper and a way better deal - $22 for cheese, $25.50 for their standard pies including Margherita and Pepp.) The pie transported home decently, no complaints - see my pic and vid (!). Get it home before it condensates and gets wilty a bit inside the box if it sits too long in there. Cure for that? Don't nuke it to reheat - always pop slices in a toaster oven or oven (I crank it up to like 450 for 5 mins) to "crisp it up" - good as new. :) Enjoyed the Ham & Mushroom a lot. I actually ate the whole pie and I didn't feel like I over-stuffed myself afterwards. I enjoyed the freshness of the pie dough and ingredients - kudos Pupatella. I've decided this will be my new go-to over Domino's or P-John's when I have the occasional hankerin' for pizza. (Another pie favorite if you ever go to Matchbox is their Fig & Prosciutto pizza - SO GOOD. Perhaps, Pupatella you might consider adding this amazing flavor combo to your repertoire hint hint - ?) If I'm craving me a decent pizza, I'll sprint over to Pupatella for carryout (way closer for me than Andy's). The wait time is reasonable (service is pleasant and friendly btw!), quick in and out right off Wiehle, and with carryout, I avoid paying the exorbitant delivery tack-ons which would make this 11" pie wayyyy overpriced. P.S. I would consider eat-in too in the future - the place inside was surprisingly impressive (I had old Pizza Hut vibes on the brain but it's nothing like old Pizza Hut vibes lol) - nicely decorated, clean, cozy, nicely lit, and comfortable. Full service.

I typically drive to Tysons for my Neapolitan pizza fix however something told me to search and see if there was a Neapolitan pizza restaurant closer to where I was and that's how I discovered Pupatella! The restaurant has a large parking lot in addition to a large outdoor seating area. I was greeted upon first walking in and immediately taken to a nice spacious seat and given time to look over the menus. It was almost time for their happy hour to begin and the server was nice enough to honor happy hour pricing despite me being just two minutes early. I ordered a lemon cello, martini, eggplant, arancini and a buffalo margarita pizza and everything was amazing! The martini was made with their fresh in-house made lemon cello and with love because the bartender really did her thing making that cocktail. I wasn't able to finish the arancini so I took that to go , but I devoured the entire happy hour pizza because it was so so good. I told friends we have to come back here for happy hour because there was so much on the menu that I wanted to try, but of course couldn't do that while I was by myself. Lastly, service was amazing. The two women who took care of me, went above and beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed, and that my dining experience was phenomenal. I can't wait to return

I order from here at least once a week. Their dough is perfect and I love their eggplant or Margherita pizzas. Careful with their pizzas containing meat like pepperonis. It is super duper salty. I like them but can't eat more than one piece at a time. The service here is prompt and fast. The ambiance is fun because of decors. Bathroom is clean and gender inclusive. Looking forward to returning soon.
