We brought our three toddlers to Pupatella and honestly had the best experience. Dining out with little ones isn't always easy, but the service here made it completely stress-free and enjoyable. The staff was kind, patient, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. A special shout-out to Zach, the manager, who was absolutely amazing -- attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared that our family had a great experience. The pizza was delicious (as always), but the exceptional service is what truly stood out. Pupatella is clearly a place that values families and customer experience. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone -- especially parents with young kids! read more

We were at the Mosaic Pupatella for their anniversary party to pick up pizza, but I messed up our order so we decided to stay. They couldn't have nicer and took very good care of us with special treats and party favors. It was lots of fun and we were so glad we stayed. Gunner was especially great, and so is the pizza! read more

We ordered the mushroom and prosciutto pizza, which had undercooked mushrooms, overcooked prosciutto/ham, and was otherwise watery/soggy. The crust was a good texture though. We also ordered the panzarotti (crispy potato crust with cheese and ham filling), which was what you would expect. The service was pretty slow as well despite a half empty restaurant. read more

Their social/ happy hour is absolutely fantastic. Really great prices for appetizers and reduced prices for pizzas. Also, their pizzas and carry out options are top notch. I'm really happy they expanded their summer hours. I still love their burrata pizza the best! read more

Usually, this place is great. It can be hit or miss on both pizza and staff. Still, when it's good it's good. Love the pizzas, the salad with shaved Parmesan and grapefruit is very tasty although it too can be off on occasion, just tried the zucchini sticks - - yummy, nice and crisp. It also has a full bar, which is very nice. I will definitely go back. I have gone back many times . I must say, I prefer this location and the pizza made here better than the original location in Arlington. read more

Great pizza and service I would definitely recommend it and the dessert is amazing!!!!! The restaurant is very nice and fun I love all the space read more

We were initially seated at a table that hadn't been wiped down from the previous party. Pretty obvious. The service was fine but the pizza's ended up being small. They are enough for one person, not 2-3. There was also no flexibility to provide half/half on toppings even though we wanted cheese on one half and would have paid for full toppings. There are TV's on the wall for entertainment but they were turned off. read more

I walked into the restaurant around 2:00pm today and their were open seats available but the hostess told us it would be a 30 minute wait. I was excited to try this place out but based on the reviews and how I was turned away. This location does not seem friendly. read more

This location is so much less stressful than the one in Arlington. the pizza is still just as good, but there is never a wait for a table, the service is ... decent although not perfect, and it's not loud or crowded. The food comes out in reasonable times. I enjoy their wine list and their spritz options. The margarita pizza is delicious and it's been rated as the best neopolitan style pizza around, so there really is no reason not to stop by. I have had a few slow servers or a few messed up orders (giving the pizza to the wrong table). But the place is SO lowkey, you don't feel rushed and they eventually correct it. And it's still worth going. I am surprised that this place doesn't have a constant takeout business going. Only a few at a time. read more

3.4/5. Walking around Mosaic, a few friends and I decided to try Pupatella as it was recommended by a few people. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the expectations as I thought it would. The Food: I went with a Margherita Pizza as my main entree, and Nonna's Meatballs as my appetizer. To start first, the meatballs weren't bad, but nothing amazing. However, it was a little small for the price. Would I get it again? Probably not. It was an average tasting meatball. Now for the pizza, I was looking forward to this the most as I love a good Margherita pizza! But, the pizza was slightly soggy and lacked a little flavor. The Service: The service was decent. The staff was nice and friendly, but there was no one to be found when we needed multiple water refills. The Atmosphere: The restaurant is nice. Spacious and clean. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, a 3.5/5. That pizza was just OK, nothing to write home about. The service was decent, but could've been better as well. read more

We sat at the bar. Couldn't get a drink in thirty minutes. They couldn't even make the Napolini from the menu. Not sure why. Missing ingredients? Too hard? Basil or vinegar shortage? It was too loud to hear. We are still waiting for our first drink order. Who knows if we will ever get food.... Good news is they brought us plates and utensils even though no one took our food order. Edit: I guess we sat at the wrong side of the bar. We are loudly making jokes about ordering second drinks but everyone's backs are to us. If we hadn't ordered food, we'd have left already. We watched people behind us leave because no one cared enough to take their order. I wish could leave zero stars. read more

3.5/5 starts as compared to two of my favorite neopolitian pizza places in Chicago. I wanted to try this place as it came highly recommended and while I enjoyed ordering at the counter and grabbing a table, I did not think the pizza lived up to the hype. We got the appetizer sampler platter which everything was good but nothing special, all fried. Then we got the arugula prosciutto pizza and the pesto white sauce one and added crumbled sausage. Both pizzas were good but not mind blowing amazing as we were told. They both could have used a little more flavor and I was surprised the crust on the bottom didn't have a tad more crisp to it, it was soggy. We took half of each home and added hot honey to the pesto and balsamic glaze to the argula one to jazz it up. Sadly I don't plan to return. read more

One of the best pizzas we have had. The other foods there are good, too. If we eat on their patio, they always bring water for our dogs. We have always had excellent service from the waitstaff and, when we have ordered pickup, the pizzas have always been ready on time. Very easy to order online. read more

I finished a workout and wanted to get some pizza to go, so I called to order. I got a side salad, some cheesy bread (mozzarella on Italian bread), and a chorizo pizza to go. The person I spoke with said they'd need a card to charge it to, so I have it. Then I was asked "would you like to add a tip?". I found this very off-putting, but I wanted to try this place based on my prior experiences with the Arlington location and I was hungry bordering on hangry, so I said yes. That rude request framed everything else. A tip is after service is rendered, not as a precondition. It's rude, it's obnoxious, and I'm kinda done with this place after that. Onto the pizza. It was OK. Dine in is fine, but it doesn't travel well and they're overly aggressive on tips for carry out. read more

Delicious wood-fired Neopolitan pizza, authentic and bursting with flavor! Love the one in Arlington and so glad there's a closer location that opened up in Mosaic District. It's always fun to watch the pizza baking next to the inferno in the large dome oven. The Margherita DOC is my go-to. The charred pillowy pizza crust with dollops of buffalo mozzarella cheese and sweet marinara sauce is divine. My hubby and I shared a pizza, but could have easily devoured our own! The house red Sangiovese taste like a Malbec and hubby enjoyed an apple whisky based cocktail. There's ample spacious seating that's not elbow rubbing and good for social distancing. Very family-friendly. Hubby and I enjoyed a nice casual date night and will bring the kiddos here, next time! read more

Went to see what all the hype was about after seeing them on social media. I was very disappointed, the pizza was very soggy & lacked flavor. We got 3 pizzas & an appetizer. The service was neither bad nor good.. it was an hour to closing so could understand if our waitress was tired. The atmosphere is pleasant, there's outdoor seating so you get to enjoy the nice weather. Overall would not come back. read more

December 2022 - COVID Review: Came here with my family for a lunch and what looks like a sit down restaurant was actually you ordering at the cashier. However, staff were still really attentive in getting you drinks and silverware. There's a number of pizzas on the menu or you can create your own (max of 4 ingredients including cheese). The pizzas came out pretty quick after you order too. My husband and I got the margarita and meatball pizzas and split those. They come in large 4 slices but it can still be considered a personal pizza. We both really loved the crusts on the pizza and everything was really flavorful. I can see what other Yelpers have mentioned about crispy edges but soggy middle - I think that's just due to the brick oven. Our pizzas weren't super soggy though so maybe it depends on the day. read more

Pupatella - Pistachio gelato sooo good! - Pizza Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Was excited to finally try Pupatella at a much closer location than the original establishment. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short. We sat outside, and the restaurant was about 40% occupied for a Tuesday night. We ordered a couple pizzas and bruschetta. The bruschetta was flavorless. The tomatoes were sad and the bread didn't taste fresh. The pizzas tasted decent though the sauce lacked flavor. The pizzas also seem smaller than the original establishment? Really expensive pizza for the size. Someone checked in one time, we had to go back to the counter ourselves for more water, soda, and finally a to-go box. Not that the restaurant was busy - many of the staff were just standing around and chatting with each other. Not sure what exactly we're tipping for if everything is self-serv? read more

Our server Gunner was so helpful. He answered our food allergy questions and brought delicious food. We ordered an assortment of their authentic pizzas and everything was delicious. We will happily dine here again. Thanks for great food and great service! Coming back soon when their patio is open! read more

Food is delicious. We tried the margherita, sausage onion, prochiutto (buffala bianca). They were all good but my favorite was margherita. We also got brussels sprouts and Napoli salad.. you know... for balance. I'm not sure how healthy fried Brussels sprouts can be but they were delicious none the less. If you're confused about service, so is everyone else. I walked in and there wasn't really a host but servers suggesting to customers to sit. It's more like a self service kind of place- you have to walk up to the register and order pizza. You pay on the spot. People bring food to you. Waters get filled occasionally, but you might have a flag someone down. There's street parking which fills up quickly. The parking garage is a few blocks away. If you drive around the corner, there's a parking lot that's a 5 minute walk away. read more

Voting with a 3 since my experience keeps balancing itself out in a number of ways. First off, was confused when we first walked in and I started seating my family and I, only to get a number of quizzical looks from the servers around us. Was glad when they stopped us and seated my family and I (a party of 7) in a private room in the back for a birthday. Once seated, the waiter lets us know we have to go up to the counter to order. I felt a little confused by this, because we're probably going to tip you, but then we have to go to the counter. To add, with a party of seven, we're ordering for everyone so we had nominate two people to walk to the counter and order for us. Then we notice that the tv has the workers being recorded as they're cooking. At first I'm thinking that I like that I know they're not spitting on my food or doing anything horrific kitchens probably do without us customers knowing, but then I also can't help but think of how shook the cooks probably feel knowing they're being recorded and watched by customers. Then our food is ordered, and we forgot to order a coke. Every time you make a purchase, they make you pay on the spot with their tablet, which I guess is understandable but if we're a table that stays for a while, wouldn't it make sense to just keep a tab open like a regular sit down restaurant, especially if wait staff is occasionally checking in on us...? But then the food comes and it's delicious! We especially LOVED the burrata platter and I thoroughly enjoyed my white sauced mushroom pizza with the addition of prosciutto. However, the bruschetta confused me, and my mom almost didn't think there was any cheese on it. Bread wasn't crisped and it wasn't topped with balsamic. In fact, it was the same bread as the bread served in the burrata platter, so we barely even touched the dish! Even still, the croquette was chefs kiss, and I definitely want to try the arancini next time. Overall, we loved our favorites and had a great time, so I'll definitely be giving this place another chance eventually but there is potential for improvement, which is okay if you're a new establishment! read more

Food - 8/10 We tried two pizzas from this place, and while the Classica was fine, the Onion Tart was a clear standout. Funky, porky, and sweet from its caramelized onions, our family enjoyed this pie more than the standard, margherita-but-not-margherita. However, let the pizza get a little cold, and the cheese will become stringy, hard-to-cut globs (of goodness, don't get me wrong). Service - 8/10 Our two pizzas came out around 20 minutes after ordering, which felt a little long considering it was 2 PM on a Thursday, well past lunch rush. That being said, our servers were pleasant, and there were no issues with our orders. Atmosphere - 8/10 It's in Mosiac, so of course the surrounding areas outside the restaurant are a great place to walk around and lend a lot to the joint's friendly vibe. Perhaps the only gripe would be that the back area of the restaurant is a little too removed from the inviting front eatery, and there are only two, single-occupancy bathrooms for the whole place. Overall - A nice neighborhood place in Mosiac if you want a personal pizza, but you could def go more adventurous if you want. read more

I've been waiting for Pupatella to open in Mosaic for the longest time. Now that it is open, I finally made time to stop by. I came here for lunch with my friend, and we order the arancini with sausage, nonna's meatball, buffala bianca, and pesto pizza. The appetizers came out first and I have to say they were both ok. We tried the arancini first and they were crispy on the outside and cheesy with bits of sausage on the inside. To be honest, it was a lacking flavor and was a little bland. Also, a bit expensive ($7) for just two pieces. Moving onto the nonna's meatballs, these also needed a hint of more salt, herbs, and cheese. Seemed like it was ground beef rolled into a ball with marinara sauce on top. The main reason for coming here was to try their pizza. We had the buffala bianca and pesto pizza. The buffala bianca is a white pizza topped with buffalo mozzarella, basil, and prosciutto. I liked the thinnest of the pizza pie but it was a little soggy when I ate it and it literally just came out to the table. The pesto pizza was good, very herbaceous. Topped with walnuts and mozzarella. Overall, I liked the pizza and I would like to try other pies on their menu. I probably would not order the appetizers. read more

I was excited to finally see this place opened up. It's located at the less busy/quieter end of Mosaic (in my opinion) which is better. The location is pretty large and has a nice outdoor section right out front. We came in around early dinner time on a Saturday so we got lucky and we combined tables so we could seat our party of 9. Same idea as the other locations, pay at the register and it gets dropped off at the table. We got a couple orders of the burrata, arancini, the Diavola, Classico, Prosciutto Arugula, Margherita, and Caivano pizzas. As expected the pizza (specifically the crust) was still A1 like every other location. The toppings/cheese were plentiful. The burrata was a lot better than I remember. Came on a bed of arugula and tomatoes with prosciutto and bread. It was a hit. Didn't get to try the arancini but I knew it was great already. Service was on point and all the servers were very accommodating and gave us refills regularly. This is probably our new go to Pupatella location since it's a lot closer! Parking can be crazy on weekends though if you're not familiar with Mosaic. read more

Happy to see this place finally opened near me. I used to make the long treks to The Arlington location whenever I have a craving for a great pizza. I'm not sure if the reason is this new place or not, but I find the pizzas to be ok, not as good as the ones in Arlington. What really wow me is how big this restaurant is. It is huge w a bar(not full), outdoor seatings, and plenty of tables inside. This is a plus for me. The decorations are very nice. The large wall with graffiti reminds me of downtown LA or Queens in NYC. When you walk in, someone will give you a menu at the door so you can check out all the offerings. Then you can process to the register and order. You will be given a number plate and find a table to your liking. Someone will eventually bring your order to your table. Now for the pizza. The pizza came out not as hot as the ones that I consistently get in Arlington. Not sure why. Maybe all the staffs here are new and still learning. It's still the best pizza place around here and a great addition to Mosaic. I will come back again for sure and see if it will get better read more

Came in with three people on a Friday evening. Not too busy and they have a happy hour. The appetizers were small portioned / just okay. Can probably skip on these and go straight for the pies if it isn't that busy. The pizza itself is tasty. Cheese was as 6 or 7/10 but I thoroughly enjoyed the crust. Good texture, not soggy but bendable to eat a folded bite. They have a lot of combinations and toppings so will come back to try the others. Pretty good pizza. read more

This pizza is great and thin and even better cold the next day. Had the spinach, goat cheese and pine nut pizza it was amazing. Truly amazing. Then tried the pepperoni which was spicy to me. I don't do spice I'm overly sensitive. I didn't really enjoy the pepperoni at night but it was the perfect breakfast cold the next day. read more

Really good pizza! My son and I were interested in trying the new Mosaic location. We had enjoyed their pizzas in their original Arlington location a few years ago and were hoping for a similar great experience. And they did not disappoint! We both ordered the Pepperoni (one of my favorites). As expected, there was a great balance in flavors. From the dough (which was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside), to the sauce (which was smooth and not acidic), to the health amount of pepperoni on top. True Neapolitan! The only downside is the price. If it was more affordable, I think I would be a regular. read more

The pizza was great. We dined on the outside patio and enjoyed people watching. The service was also great.

I goofed and ordered our pizzas at the wrong location. When I showed up to pick them up I realized what I had done. They offered to make them for me at no charge. I wanted to tip them but I did not bring my wallet or card with me. Next time. Their pizza is great and the closest thing to Italian in our area. read more

Went here for dinner, this place offer tables indoors and outside when the weather permits. The restaurant offers alcoholic drinks and non alcoholic. The restaurant offers house made dough with fresh ingredients imported from Italy. I ordered the margherita pizza which comes with buffalo mozzarella, basil and olive oil. Also order the chorizo pizza which comes with spicy Spanish chorizo sausage, thinly-shaved red onions, roasted red pepper and fresh mozzarella. Average pizza start 15.50 and varies on the toppings added. The restaurant also offer panini, salad, pasta and kids menu. The restaurant has parking available. read more

I have been to the Ballston location so decided to try this one out. Very new, great pizza and lots of room to enjoy it. We went on a Saturday and the place was not that full. Lots of employees behind the counter and on the floor cleaning tables. The place looked extra clean and we decided to order Margheritas as well as a personalized one for myself. The cashier was attentive but seemed shy which wasn't a big deal just don't expect to be catered to. The food came out pretty quick and the guy who dropped the food asked if we wanted any cheese or pepper which we got right away. We ate pretty quick as we had a sleepy toddler with us and were happy with our visit. read more

Paisano, no good. Pizza is the closest you can get to genuine Italian pizza but too many problems for the price. 1) 90 bucks for 3 pizza, a round of arancini and fried mozzarella and soda. 2) You asking me to pay a tip for service before receiving the service (min on the machine is 18%) 3) Price is too high for me standing in line to order at the register. If I ran out of my drink while I'm eating I have to get up and go pay at the register again. In the middle of my meal. Happened today. You can't possibly ask for that. 4) Pizza is the closest to genuine Italian pizza but lacks EVO. Tomato lacks San Marzano taste. They're smaller than a Neapolitan pizza in Italy but you charge more than twice. Rest of the menu is 100% American food. Arancini are such simple recipes I can't even. 5) We got there at 11:30, our 3 pizza arrived 30 MINUTES LATER and only 3 tables had customers. The runner brought the pizza to another table that just literally arrived. Can't you see they just sat down? So I had to chase him to get those pizza to our table. 6) I've been many times at your other location and I thought you'd make a real restaurant at this bigger place but I guess not. Paisà I wrote so much because you could make your place so good and serve TOP food but the only thing top is the price. Again asking for the tip to pay your staff before I even speak to a runner it's just plain disrespectful, you know that because every other review mentions it. Please don't ask me to email you like you did with other reviews, the review is pretty thorough. read more
