Absolutely fantastic pizza! The crust was perfectly cooked, the toppings were fresh and flavorful, and every bite was delicious. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant was clean, the service was quick, and you can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice or sitting down for a meal, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

As usual, the service is wonderful! Also, Knowing that all of the flour based products are made with flour from Italy means that I can eat there without worry. Matt is a terrific manager there and cares about his people from what I can see. It genuinely seems like everyone is happy to be there. read more

My wife and I had our favorites -- Montepulciano red wine, Croccante mixed green salad, and Red Pepper and Egg Plant pizza. The crust had a light char and was firm and chewy, just right for folding and eating. Peppers on top were plentiful and the sauce was sweet. Great service, beautiful evening weather for eating al fresco. Meraviglioso! read more

Called earlier in the week to see if they could accommodate a large party on the upcoming Sunday. This was our first time at Pupatella and they were extremely flexible and friendly! It was a lot at first getting everyone settled, but we were a party of 27 and half of the party were children under the age of 9 - so that's to be expected . Food and drinks were great. The Diavola and the meatball pizza were favorites. The appetizer sampler and the dessert sampler / frittis were really good too. They also have pretty good selection on their bar. We'll definitely be back. read more

So, I wanted to share a little something about a recent pizza adventure (or misadventure, depending on how you look at it!) my friend and I had. We finally made it over to Pupatella's in Reston, the one we've been curious about, after a bit of a shopping spree. We were totally in the mood for some delicious pizza! Right as we walked in, the very first thing that caught my eye was the welcome mat. Honestly, it looked like it had seen a *lot* of action and could probably use a good scrub-down - it wasn't exactly rolling out the red carpet, if you know what I mean! Then, looking around, the concrete floors felt a little... well, cold and not super inviting. We were hoping for more of that warm, cozy pizzeria vibe, but it felt a bit stark and dim, making it hard to feel truly settled. A lovely person did greet us with a smile and got us seated quickly, which was nice! We decided on a couple of 11-inch pepperoni pizzas and some diet drinks. Before our food arrived, I popped over to the restroom. And gosh, that was another spot that seemed to be crying out for a deep clean. There were some splashes around the toilet area that were a bit off-putting, making me wonder about the general upkeep behind the scenes. Then came the main event - our pizzas! They looked... shiny. And not in a good way, unfortunately. There was so much oil, especially from the pepperoni, that it was practically pooling on top and had soaked right into the crust. It was really quite something! I tried my best, dabbing away at it with napkins, but honestly, after just one slice, I had to throw in the towel. It was just a bit too much for me. My friend, bless her heart, didn't want it to go to waste, so she thoughtfully packed up the rest, and we headed out pretty quickly after that. So, all in all, it wasn't quite the pizza experience we were hoping for. Between the general cleanliness issues and the super greasy pizza, I don't think Pupatella's in Reston will be seeing us again anytime soon. And honestly, I'd probably hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a great pizza spot right now. Just wanted to give you a friendly heads-up about our visit! read more

You'll notice when you walk in that the outside of this place looks like an old pizza hut and that's exactly what it used to be! The pizza here is nothing like the hut though and you're in for a real treat when you stop by for a pie that folds with ease read more

Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon, and the restaurant was surprisingly not busy, so we were served very quickly. It was also a very spacious, clean space and I loved the pizzeria type decor. I've been to many different Pupatella locations and the pizzas are always solid. You can never go wrong with the Prosciutto Arugula- it's a good crowd pleaser. I also loved the Mushroom/Brie and they were generous with the Brie cheese! Can't wait to try more of their menu items. read more

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 read more

Pizza is really good! I am sure it would be even better super fresh vs delivery. I tried the eggplant and red pepper which was smoky but could have used more cheese. The beef pepperoni pizza was really good! The pizzas are on the smaller side but the ingredients are very fresh. I would not order the caprese salad again though as it was not super fresh. I would get the pepperoni pizza again and maybe a make your own with eggplant and more cheese. Definitely a solid place! read more

I've always had a good experience here. The pizza has great flavor and the ingredients are top-notch. It can be very busy so you may have to wait for the pizza. Probably don't want order if you're in a hurry. read more

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. read more

Pupatella - The Real Ragu Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Reston, Virginia

This isn't just my new favorite pizza place in the greater DMV area... it may be my new favorite restaurant of any kind! The overall taste and ambience is very European, with balanced flavors on a perfect thin, chewy crust, in a setting where neither the music nor the decor are too loud. Friendliest service anywhere I've seen in at least 20-years, and ever in America. Cannot recommend this place enough! would give it seven out of five stars if I could! Cant wait to go back! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The service is absolutely amazing! I love the arancini balls and my daughters favorite is the Nutella pizza.

Stopped in for a quick lunch while in the area... the manager was very helpful and friendly and the menu is their standard menu, loaded with all sorts of tasty items. I opted for their Pepperoni Pizza, which uses beef pepperoni and I think that's awesome! I asked them to cook it slightly longer so it wouldn't be as soft in the middle. It came out looking amazing, with a nice char on the crust, but the center was still too soft to pick up while hot, as all the toppings would slide off. So, the first couple of slices, I had to fork & knife, but once it cooled slightly, I was able to fold and pick up the remaining slices. Flavors were on point! Sauce was great! Pepperoni was amazing!! Overall, I really enjoyed it! read more

The first time I went here, the pizza was OK. The second time, I was craving pasta, and I noticed they didn't have any on the menu, so I asked the waiter, who recommended I order pasta with meatballs, which I did, but which barely had any tomato sauce, and the noodles were huge, 3/8 in diameter ones. I also ordered a side salad for $7.50, which was all spinach, half dried tomatoes, and a whole lot of brown olives (which I don't like). Anyway, if I didn't grab silverware from another table, we wouldn't have had any and nobody asked if we wanted refill on our soft drinks. Anyway, it was not a pleasant dining experience, to say the least. Will not be going back. read more

Authentic Neapolitan pizza that focuses on quality over crazy topping options. The crust was thin and chewy and each bite had a good balance of toppings.

Enjoyed dinner here last night. Started with the combo appetizers, which were good. Had arancini balls, mozz balls, and a croquet. Husband like the croquette the best. We also tried their meatball appetizer which was just ok. Then we shared a pepperoni pizza. It was quite oily, which I understand comes from the pepperoni. It was tasty, though. Would try other pizzas next time. read more

Pupatella - Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Reston, Virginia

This is our go-to pizza spot. If the service were as consistent as the food, I'd easily give Pupatella a five-star rating. Never had truly bad service but have had inattentive and lazy service one too many times to justify a higher rating. Inconsistent bartenders as well. Their Negroni and Italian Old-Fashioned are solid cocktails but I've been brought a class of ice with a splash of liquor more than once. Stick with the wine, a respectable list for a pizza spot. As for the pizza, second to none in NoVa. Not even close. We've had the Margherita, the Prosciutto Arugula, the Diavola, the Eggplant & Red Pepper, the Ham & Mushroom (least favorite) and the Pepperoni, as well as numerous "build your own" concoctions. With the exception of the Ham & Mushroom, I'd order any again (and have). Absolutely favorite is the Meatball Pizza though. Napoli Salad, Zucchini Fries, and Fried Mozzarella are all winners too. Top notch ingredients; great sauce and crust. We go or take-out here once a month. read more

Pupatella has very good authentic Neapolitan pizza. Pizzas are made in real wood fired pizza ovens from Naples, Italy. I was very surprised to find that there is a full bar inside. The Napoli Salad was very good. The dessert selection is solid with cannoli, panna cotta, Sfogliatella and or course, gelato. I plan to go back and try some of the appetizers and wines. read more
