    This Neapolitan chain has spread regionally. I felt like I'd taken a wrong turn pulling into this one, which is in a very residential area, at least if you're coming the way I was coming. The flavor of Neapolitan pizza sells itself. The one I got here was not very substantial, so I was glad I ordered other things, including some smoky eggplant arrancini, a salad, and a panna cotta, all of which still only made two meals. I guess if you get some insider deals, you'll be better off. I found the quantity lacking but the quality worth it.

    Got here at 5 pm on a Wednesday. It was empty. So I was greeted and seated immediately. I had looked at the menu in advance and I ordered the Capricosa pizza. It came out fast. My server was very good. She brought me water and checked back a few times. The pizza was very good but I think it could have been a little bit crispy. The flavor was great and the crust was nice and chewy but it wasn't quite as cooked as it could have been. Otherwise it was good.

    Pizzas were lazily made (delivery) with hardly any toppings. Pepperoni was tossed on (what few there were) in no attempt to distribute evenly. One of the pies was eggplant and cherry tomatoes. Look at the pic and count all those eggplant chunks. lol. One and done. Never again.

    Pupatella is my favorite pizza restaurant in the DMV and a place I wish they had an outpost somewhere in SoCal too. Their crusts, sauce, and the topping they use are simply incomparable to other establishments elsewhere. They have both in-store seatings and to-go as an option. I usually like eating them home because I don't care to enjoy my food with lots of shrieking kids or doors opening and closing. The ambiance is family friendly and not great for those like me who do mind eating in noisy, doors opened and gushed in cold air and now the whole place is smoky because something is burning type of things. But really, the best thing to do is eating it right away there and then. The service can be slow so it's highly recommended you place the order online ahead of time. The salads here are rather underrated. My personal favorite is the Croccante Salad. It has feta cheese, spring mix, tasty croutons, and the star of the bowl, the crispy + savory prosciutto de Parma. Omg. If this is the kind of salad I get to eat everyday, I wouldn't mind eating it for rest of my life. Pizza wise, caivano, bimbi, and onion tarts are my favorite. Their margherita DOC, eggplant parmesan, and classica DOC, are my other favorites. Really nothing on the menu that doesn't taste good. Also, the garlic zeppoles are something you shouldn't overlook!! It's a bowl full of savory fried dough balls that are fluffy, garlicky, and delicious. Parking is free and online ordering is available. They have good deals and coupons so it's a great idea to sign up. Check their bundle deals because you get so much value out of tons of food!

    Update!! This food gave me the worst stomach pain ever. My stomach has been messed up ever since we ate it. Luckily I haven't thrown up, but I wouldn't be shocked if it happens. Considering they have 4 health violations, this isn't surprising. And they removed the photos I posted on here.

    Thanks to a gift card, we gave Pupatella a second try. I liked the pizza much better this time now that I read what a Neapolitan pizza is supposed to be like. I ordered a side salad which was way more than the size of a normal side salad. The garlic cheese bread was good, but I wish they broiled it a bit. Ordered a white cheese pizza with pepperoni and bacon this time and I thought it was very good. So good that we went back the week after and ordered more pizzas for a family dinner. Also our server was friendly and attentive.

    Food and Service were good but not great. The menu lacked enough chicken and vegetarian options which did not go well with our group. This location is in a weird mall where views are restricted to gas station or a dead parking lot. A lot can be done to the place in order to make it more appealing and inviting. Parking a scooter outside is not good enough.

    Back again! Yes! It is that good! Christian helped us and waters, drinks & those fried motz balls!!!! You must get them! Great French 75 from the bar. Pizzas were great. We got the paninis. The PMT one & the meatball one. Joey would kill for the meatball! (if you know you know) My new favorite! We have never had any desserts, we were too full!!! Great place, very open & bright. Thx again Christian!!!

    The food and service is very good when they are not too busy. This time (evening of 4/25/2025) my pick up time 6:33 was way too soon for them as they were very busy with many customers. Looked like there was some event with a radio station and they were closing the event when I got there. My order was about 15 minutes late and one of my two pizzas was (in my opinion) burnt. It was good to see so many customers eating there in the dining room, at the bar and outside tables.

    Nutella pizza

    Two trips this week. I tried to Mimosa pizza again. Added hot honey to a few slices. It wasn't neccesary but just an added bonus to a great tasting pizza. Went back again tonight (Wednesday the 14th for their birthday celebration. I think this was my 6th visit? I decided to try something different so I ordered the Mushroom Pizza (Sauteed mushroom, garlic, brie cheese, truffle oil with Italian cream sauce. I gotta say, this one was ok. I may have to order it again, because I thought it would have more flavor..., who knows. In my excited anticipation I forgot to order the brussel sprouts (which I've had before) which were delicious. I also ordered a Red Sangria and a Nutella Pizza with sliced apples. I ate 4 slices and took the rest home. Very tasty and enjoyed the compliment of textures. Overall, I enjoyed both visits and I have also enjoyed the fact there are more people visiting this place as I keep going back. This place is a treasure. Please check it out when you get the chance.

    Started coming here after work to have drinks outside with my best friend. Everything was great. They have solid happy hour deals. (5 dollar wine and beers) and 8 dollar apps. I recommend the arancini. They allow you to split it so you can try them all. The bartenders are friendly and make great cocktails as well. I recommend Zack and Nick!

    Cannoli
    C. L.

    Stopped in for lunch and tried the Neapolitan-style pizzas, which were solid. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill with dessert. I ordered a cannoli that was supposedly filled to order, but it was a major letdown. As an Italian American from New Jersey, I've never seen a cannoli done so poorly at a pizza place. There was barely any filling, maybe a tablespoon at each end with some pistachios, while the entire center was completely empty. The filling that was there didn't taste good either. It's frustrating to see an establishment charge premium prices for desserts and not execute something as basic as a properly filled cannoli.

    Fresh flavorful food. Pizza took a long time to come on a weekday afternoon. Ordered Burratta and Margarita Pizzas. Burratta was soggy but tasty. At $19 for a personal pizza, I felt it was expensive. Hubby liked the Tiramisu. Overall meh experience.. I think we are one and done for this place. Lots of seating indoor and outdoor.

    My date and I wanted to catch a bite to eat before I got drinks with my girlfriend (she actually…read morerecommended this place to me) and so we decided on Don's! It's a small place and I think it's because it's for pick-up only. We decided not to do pick up and sit inside instead. They have a couple of tables inside and outside. The service was relatively quick and fast! We didn't have to wait too long and we only had an hour; and within that hour our pizza was ordered, ready, and our plates were empty. We ordered - Neapolitan Margherita 5/5 - I'm not sure if it was because we had trash pizza the night before so our expectations were low or because it really is THAT good. I wasn't that hungry, but I ended up eating half the pie! The cheese tasted super fresh and complimented the balsamic drizzle. I'll definitely be returning here or at least getting it for take-out!

Parking is easy, with ample spaces both directly in front of the restaurant and across the street. Inside, the seating area is on the smaller side but sufficient for small parties. The ordering process is straightforward: you order and pay at the register, take a seat, and they bring the food to your table. We ordered a salad and two pizzas, one regular and one vegan. The regular pizza came out quickly and tasted quite good. However, the vegan pizza was flavorless. A major contributing factor is likely that they do not offer vegan cheese, so it essentially amounted to a cauliflower crust with tomato sauce and vegetables. On a side note, the cellular signal inside the restaurant was non-existent for some reason. All in all, it wasn't a terrible experience, but we likely won't be returning anytime soon.

I got a daily combo of a 1-topping half pizza and 10 wings. It's a pretty good deal since you save a few bucks compared to buying these separately. For the topping, I picked cup and char pepperoni. I had eaten pepperoni like this at a place in Manhattan (Rubirosa) and thought it was wonderful, without realizing it was known specifically as this or was a specialty of Buffalo style pizza. The half pizza was huge -- 18" in diameter and cut into six slices. The dough was thin and crisp on the bottom but had a pillowy softness throughout. The sauce was sweet. Not Papa John's sweet, but with herbs and tang to complement the sweetness. And then, of course, the pepperoni. Amazing! Crispy, slightly spicy, and cupping a little puddle of warm oily goodness. I wish they had topped the pizza with about 50% more, but that would likely raise the price and my cholesterol to unbearable levels. The wings were great! Large and plump, and cooked to just the right doneness. I hate wings where the skin is still a gooey gelatinous sheath, like waterlogged leather wrapped around a hotdog. I ordered these medium spiciness but they really seemed to match up to mild compared to other wing joints. The wings came with about 5 sticks of celery and a container of Ken's blue cheese dressing. The next time I have a hankering for pizza, I'll definitely make the 15 minute trip to Badd Pizza before considering the Domino's down the block.
