So good! This place seriously has some of the best Neapolitan pizza I've had. The crust was perfectly soft and chewy with that slightly crispy char, and the toppings tasted super fresh. Everything came out hot and clearly made with care. We also tried the tiramisu and it was amazing- light, creamy, and not overly sweet. Definitely one of the best desserts I've had in a while and the perfect way to finish the meal. Service was great too. Everyone was really friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt relaxed and welcoming. We'll definitely be back- highly recommend if you're craving really good pizza and dessert! read more

Visited on a Friday early evening - immediately greeted by the hostess. The restaurant is smaller than their other locations but there is both interior and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outdoors. Service was prompt. Ordered a classic pepperoni and margherita pizzas. They were the perfect sizes and shareable with robust flavor. There is limited parking in their lot $$ read more

I always pass by this place. Stopped by to try out their happy hour. Ordered the arancini and a limoncello martini. They were both okay. I was not overly impressed by the food, drinks or service. read more

Nice cozy pizza shop that serves pretty good Neapolitan pizza. The pizza is pretty pricey. The service is good. The restaurant is clean and family friendly. We had panzarotti, which was recommended by our server Omar. I must say it was actually pretty good. It tasted like a fancier mozzarella stick with ham inside. I cant lie, I enjoyed it. I ordered a red sangria and got a strongria. I couldn't finish my drink because I could barely taste the wine, it was more brandy than anything. The bartender was a little heavy handed. I'm not a fan of strong drinks. As a bartender, I know you aint doing it right if it's that strong. Im not trying to be drunk with my kid for Chirst sake lol ....any who...my son enjoyed their pepperoni pizza while I had their prosciutto arugula which had a very refreshing taste. The cannoli was bomb! 5 stars. Loved it. My bill was $80 just for 2 people, like how. I had sticker shock when I noticed the price, the pizza is definitely the most expensive item we ordered. I would probably explore doing a half and half ordeal because the pizza is too much to finish in one sitting at least for myself and my son. If you plan on ordering other items I would see if they are willing to split the pizza if you want different toppings. Definitely plan on coming back to try other menu options that look appealing. I would recommend this restaurant if you don't mind paying a pretty penny for some pizza. I would try to do this a little more budget smart. That price was crazy for lunch. Idk I might be a little cheap but arent we in a recession or nah? read more

The pizza is completely worth coming in for!! If you get a chance to get Omar I would suggest him. He has a great positive attitude and super great at his job. Shout out to his manager he would make a great future manager. Treat him well!!! As for the location and ambiance this place is so cute. A pain to get to at night especially from 5-7 unless you're heading south on GWPkwy. But I think it's worth it!! read more

I waited over 10 minutes, as a solo, for a waiter to finally come over & ask if I've been helped. The disappointing part was that I watched two servers (who made eye contact with me when I first arrived to this place) check on several tables that were already there AND bring waters to a new couple that walked in well after I was seated. It wasn't even super busy which is why I decided to dine in as a solo. This left a bad taste in my mouth and first impression ...I left. read more

Just stopped by for our first time and they didn't disappoint. Their pizzas are delicious but one definitely isn't enough for two people. The pizza is served straight out of their fire wood stove and it's nice and fresh. The place was busy and quiet enough to enjoy talking to your partner. The staff was very nice and attentive. read more

Small, and in an old garage/dry cleaner building . But... some of the best I eve ever eaten. Spicy sprouts roasted with pepperoni and honey, a plethora of great pizzas ( fig and pig anyone???), and then a ricotta cake cheese cake with orange peel and chocolate chips! Mmmm. Service is good with knowledgeable staff. read more

Best addition to Slaters Lane, the parking lot is really small but food and drink are all wonderful. Seating is tight inside, I always opt for a bar seat. Last night tried the arancini, they were OK. Salad was on point and pizza never disappoints. Had a bottle of Risteppo, very smooth wine that paired well with the meal. The service is always spot on and fast. Great neighborhood spot. read more

Super excited for this location opening because this will be the closest one to us. We've loved Pupatella since there was only one on Wilson Blvd. They make pizzas quick and I love the mushroom pizza. I haven't had it in awhile though and the chorizo and sausage were not I remembered. Chorizo was a bit tough, and the sausage was super crumbly -- wished it was slightly bigger pieces. Also: you should eat this pizza fresh if possible! The bottom is thin so gets soggy quick. read more

I've been eagerly anticipating Pupatella opening at this location. I'm pleased to say that it was well worth the wait. They did an amazing job designing this location. Great outside patio seating along with a thoughtfully placed bar that merges both indoor/outdoor seating and garage style doors that make the inside tables feel open and airy. The pizza is 100% what you would expect from the original Pupatella. Superb neapolitan pizza, ultra think crust, fresh ingredients...just delightful! Even better they offer a deal where you can get a bottle of Pupatella wine (we like the Montepulciano) and the buratta platter (this is amazing by the way with tons of arugula, cherry tomatoes, and delicious burrata and prosciutto) for just $45! The staff is super nice and friendly too. We've already visited twice and can't wait to return again :) read more

Great atmosphere and service. Pizza was cooked to perfection and all the ingredients were very fresh. Some of the best Neapolitan pizza in the area. Tiramisu was a perfect way to end the meal. Fantastic flavor every bite was perfect. Definitely my new go to pizza spot. read more

Food was good. Took forever. Service was slow, never asked us how the pizza or appetizer was. Came to fill up our water glass for the first time AFTER we finished eating. Didn't offer to clear any of the plates or if we needed anything. I wanted to order dessert but opted not to after everything. read more

Truly fantastic. The chew in this traditionally Politan pizza is absolutely fantastic. Perfect crust just the right amount of everything. So many delicious pizza options, fantastic Arancini and some truly awesome meatballs. 10 out of 10! read more

Loved it when it opened- went last night and the pizza was MEH- no love in it. Soggy crust- - poorly distributed toppings- just not good. so sorry not keeping up the quality... read more

Stellina. Frank Pepe. Domino's. DiGiorno. 7-Eleven. This is a list of better pizzas. To complete this list, we would need to locate every restaurant, hole in the wall, and gas station in the zip code. I am neither a pizza snob nor philistine. I've had slices in Naples and NYC, and I am also no stranger to the frozen aisle. When you price your 11-inch chorizo pizza at ~$20, you make a promise. You promise the pizza will have flavor. That it will have a certain quality that sets it far above your ordinary, slobbering triangle of grease. There is nothing wrong with this pizza. There is nothing wrong with a flabby crust, bland red sauce, limp and sparse (even for Italian-style) toppings, and cheese-shaped objects. There is nothing wrong with a panna cotta that is equally tasteless and pathetically small and cowering under a gigantic white cloud of unidentifiable foam. But there is something wrong with charging $30 for these. In all likelihood, this is an authentic Neapolitan pizza. It's just a terrible pizza for almost any price. Any of the pizzas I named above would handily lap Pupatella for quality or quantity, let alone price. I owe a certain Puritanical appetite for self punishment for actually finishing this. read more

Good pizza, thought not the best in Alexandria. I liked the "pizza flights" where you get different three mini-pizzas. I also enjoyed the Italian cream soda, which is not something I've found elsewhere. Downside is the lack of parking. read more

Fun, small pizzeria. Good pizza, food and drinks. The bar area is inviting and nice too. Outdoor seating is available and parking in lot is easy, or on side streets (with short walk). Much like being in Europe: Quaint and good food. Right near GW parkway and bike path too! Stop in for food and drinks on your commute home! read more

Well, happy to report that Pupatella was well worth the l o n g wait! It seemed to be YEARS under construction but it is open and operating now. Under the watchful eye of manager Leo this team is already finding its battle rhythm. Bartender Omar is fast, friendly, and focused on the customer experience. Already establishing a loyal retinue of regulars, Pupatella is enjoying a brisk start to the Pizza Marathon. Their varied menu is very ambitious. The pizza we had was Neapolitan crust and absolutely delicious. Their beer and wine list was excellent. We wish them the best of luck and will certainly be back! MW read more

Have been eagerly awaiting the grand opening of this Pupatella location for the last 2 years. Happy to say this restaurant serves the excellent neopolitan-style pizza we know and love from Pupatella in a beautiful new space. Love the indoor-outdoor design.

My family & sis TIARA L.'s fam have usually since 2009, frequented generous healthy tomatoe pizzas at orig location 2600 Wilson Blvd. ARLX 22206?!! SUPER CLEAN restrooms/latrines too. My hubby Former Senior AMN RR & I believe the dough is spectacular and can be rewarmed/at home. Must try the original with solaria (vanila and pistacio dutch-chocolate, amoré gelati) too!! Try limited parking though, because the districting lot entrance on W. ABINGDON Drv. traffic lane is kinda reckless, tightened up." read more

Ryan at Pupatella was absolutely amazing! We came in with a large group that included lots of kids, and he handled everything with incredible patience, kindness, and a great attitude. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone felt taken care of! which made the experience so much more enjoyable for the adults too. Ryan truly went above and beyond, and his positive energy made our visit memorable. Pupatella is lucky to have him, and we can't wait to come back! read more

We love coming here! The staff and service is always perfect! The food is always delicious

The pizza is fantastic! We walked in and placed an order to go...out in ten minutes, although it was not the busy hour. They serve traditional pizza -- fresh melted mozzarella (not shredded that covers whole pizza like we do in the U.S.), very thin crust, seasoned toppings. It was spot-on with what I had in Florence, Italy. It's very flavorful and reheats well at home, especially in an air fryer. Definitely recommend! read more

Super fun vibe! This pizza is very special and the other food items are very good. The service is amazing. They must all be super excited to work there and I just love the outside space and the bar I go there sometimes by myself and do not feel weird at all. I just love the food. I love everything about this little place and it was much needed in this area.! read more

Came in and ordered a Caivano! Let me tell you the pizza did not disappoint! Ordered the Future IPA, it was a great beer! Delicious food, great drinks and absolutely amazing service from the bartender Jordan! We will definitely be coming back! read more

Excellent food, pizza crust is some of the best around. Sitting at the bar is the way to go, and they have garage doors that open to the outside with more seating on nice days. Indoor only days are a cozy space. Omar at the bar is great - won't steer you wrong on food or drink! read more

I've never left the yelp review but it seems like today's the appropriate time for a first one. I'm drunk and hung over and cranky but seriously ... deliver me a large pizza when I order a large pizza ... don't charge me $30 for a bite-size because now I won't ever order from you again.... We were excited about you opening up and we waited for months and months and months and now you delivered me a microwavable size pizza bite.... Seriously stop being cheap .... make a full-size F'n pizza ... cut the crap. read more

Pupatella - Crappy itsy bitsy tiny frufru pizza for $30. WTF is wrong with you guys? - Pizza Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

The quality of the toppings. Sandwich meat sliced ham and what appeared to be canned mushrooms that had the worst taste and smell. The sauce was bland and the crust underneath was soft. The least appetizing pizza I have had in a very long time (maybe ever)--unfortunately, had to throw the pizza out and order from another place. I gave the rating a 2 to be fair due to not having tried anything else from here. I heard of this long awaited pizza spot and it was sadly incredibly disappointing. read more

This is authentic Neapolitan pizza. The flavors are just how I remembered it! Parking is an issue but I'd walk a mile to get this pizza. Now, if your idea of a good pizza is Dominos, you may not like the thin but doughy crust. Not judging, Neapolitan pizzia is just different. read more

Extremely Unprofessional Host! I ordered a salad & asked for croutons on it. She stated that they couldn't put them on the salad so she will give it to me as a side sauce. I asked if I could see the size cup that the croutons would come in for $1.25 and she never showed me so I asked to remove it off my order. Less than 5 minutes later, the manager brought my salad up front and the host asked her if it was the salad and the manager stated "yes" the host then proceeds to stand at the podium scrolling on her phone and 5 minutes later, she decides to give me my order. I asked her why she had me waiting when she knew it was my order, she then walks away without responding. I IMMEDIATELY asked for a refund! I refuse to be treated with the lack of decency and respect and then spend my money there. This is not the first incident, but this one sealed the deal for me and I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THAT PUPATELLA OR ANY IN OTHER LOCATIONS! read more

Was ready to fall in love... but this pizzeria takes a daily two-hour nap--on weekends, too. I showed up hungry; the doors showed up locked. Extra seasoning of irony: six staffers inside having a grand giggle while the ovens enjoyed their beauty rest. I get schedules, but pizza shouldn't keep banker's hours. Great-looking spot, truly--but that mid-afternoon shutdown is a total buzzkill. Maybe I'll try again if I catch them during their waking hours. Until then, I'll be at one of the many places that stays open when people are actually hungry. read more
