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.

Pasta with Meatball - Kids Size

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!

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.

Shrimp Escarole Pizza

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.

Pizza

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.

Tiramisu

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.

Kids Bimbi Pizza

The best wood fire pizza around. The service was speedy and easy. The restaurant looked very quant and a fun atmosphere. We will definitely be ordering from here again.

Panini
Buck S.

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!!!

A little bit burnt Margherita DOC
Norry H.

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
Raymond B.

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.

Margherita DOC
Rekha P.

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.

Explained that it was my first time and Sean told me to take my time. The restaurant is tastefully decorated for the holiday season. Plenty of seating and can comfortably seat groups. I came in for the Fancy Nancy and seasonal Cranberry Kelli as my side scoop. Picked up a Giving Card because I'm that kind of Chick ;) I was handed my meal and I was headed back into traffic. Arrived home and tasted each of the chicken salads. Both were meaty and flavorful, not mayo forward at all, which is great. I felt a little salt was needed in the Fancy Nancy but I would gladly order again. I would order both again. Both are filling and I enjoyed the wheat crackers and cookie...delicious. I could have done without the pickle. The skin was not tender so I ate around it. Can't wait for my next visit to try other flavors. Fruity Fran, Sassy Scotty and Deck the Holly are calling my name. Also looking forward to trying their Grape Salad, Seasonal Spinach Side Salad, Loaded Potato Soup and Poblano Chicken Soup. Bonus- They provide samples if you're on the fence about what to purchase.

The food, especially fruits are consistently fresh, and the variety of chicken salad options makes it easy to find a favorite (or two!). What truly sets this place apart, though, is their heart for the community. During the government shutdown, they offered free Little Chicks for kids -- no adult purchase required. That gesture meant so much and showed how committed they are to supporting families during tough times. Great food, great service, and a business that genuinely gives back. Highly recommend! :)

Bakery Museum & Co gets super busy, especially when it comes to during weekends and on brunch/lunch…read moretimes. We stopped here at that time, and man was it hard to find a table. There were so many people, but I do have to say the sandwiches and everything they offered was on point. We enjoyed the sandwiches that we ordered. Inside is of course that type of industrial type of space, high ceilings, limited seating, but the seating they have are shared or very small tables. Along the wall is a bar table where you can sit out while you look outside. There are also couch seating if you prefer that (or if that's the only seating you can find). Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for pastries or just want a really good sandwich. They also serve coffee and specialty coffee drinks.

Initially opened as De Clieu (yes, Main St De Clieu), their name was quickly changed to Bakery…read moreMuseum & Co. I tried asking the staff about the name change but didn't get much of an answer and didn't press the issue. Regardless of the name, they haven't been open that long and already are always busy - on weekends, at least. But they have plenty of seating indoors and a few tables outside. They offer a variety of sandwiches, coffee drinks and plenty of yummy pastries (baked goods and cakes). I will be honest I am not a fan of their sandwiches, hence the 4 stars. I only go there for their delicious lattes and baked goods. Considering that I'm there at least once a week, I'm glad they now started a point system so I get to have my pastries free every so often. The staff are always so friendly and polite. Worth giving them a shot! Keep in mind if you don't want your drink too sweet, definitely mention that at the register; otherwise, they're quite generous with their sweet syrups.

This place is not visible from the road. It looks like all the buildings around are offices, but…read moretrust your map; this place is in one of those buildings. Drive around if you need to, and you'll eventually find the sign. Should you go through all that trouble to find the place? Umm, yes, because the sub I had here was really tasty and gave me a homey feel. It's family-run, and the staff was very friendly. If you are out of ideas for lunch and nearby, consider trying the subs at this place. You won't regret it. The thick double plastic bags are overkill, though. I wish they would use paper wraps and paper bags instead. Something to improve upon.

I'm so glad that I was able, courtesy of Yelp, to get a free sandwich here. I brought my husband…read morealong (we paid for his sub) and we both decided to try the "Crazy Italian" sub. We both ended up liking this sub so much that we've now had it two more times. This sub consists of: "capicola, mortadella, pepperoni, Genoa salami, lettuce, tomato and provolone cheese." We got them with oil and vinegar and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. The second time we ordered 2 subs using Doordash. These subs came with the default toppings which are mayonnaise, onions and hot peppers. We both agreed that we prefer them with just the oil and vinegar plus salt and pepper. These subs are the best we've had. The bread is soft and fresh plus the family who owns the place knows how to assemble a sub so that everything is packed in well, thus making it easier to eat. All the ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The family who runs it is very friendly. We were pleasantly surprised when we went there recently, since we were in the area, and decided to buy 2 subs to go, that the lady who waited on us when we first went there, remembered us! The one drawback---They are located in an office park. Thus their business hours correspond to regular work hours. On Thursday and Friday, they do stay open until 6 p.m. They are closed on the weekends. So...basically, it's a hidden gem. If you like subs, it's worth a visit or an order on Doordash. And, yes, we will be back!
