Beef pepperoni is available and traditional thin crust pizza is amazing. They also have Coke products!

Absolute trash of a restaurant, i paid over 30$ for a measly small pizza which they advertise as a large and 9$ for a side salad that is the size of a kids bowl that would normally cost less than 2$ at McDonald back in the day. These guys/gals are scam artist living large in Richmond, stay far away. I rather go to Dominos next time. read more

Ordered carryout and was really impressed with how well everything held up. The Prosciutto Arugula pizza was excellent -- thin, chewy crust with fresh toppings and great balance of flavors. Even after travel, it was still crisp and satisfying. The tiramisu was the perfect finish: light, creamy, and not overly sweet. Portions were solid, packaging was thoughtful, and the quality absolutely came through. One of the better takeout experiences I've had in Richmond -- would definitely order again. read more

Food was okay, but like anyone else from NJ & NY will tell you, pizza in other states will never compare. On that note, everything seemed a little too greasy. Also, I'm very used to small pizza parlors allowing me to eat in peace. Here, you're almost forced to have a server, which brings an additional cost of a tip. Bottom line, I likely won't be back unless other options are significantly limited. read more

Wow the pizza here is great. The bread is so fresh and fluffy. Highly recommend 10/10

This pizza was absolutely delicious! I stopped by for lunch and it wasn't that busy as far as seating. The place is set up nicely. You can watch them make the pizzas. I felt the spot was clean and there were nice tunes in the background. I ordered the pepperoni and my friend got the margherita pizza. The sauce is some of the best pizza sauce I've had in the RVA thus far. The personal pizzas are a good size and we couldn't finish them, but they made for some yummy left overs! read more

Truly underrated! Perfectly burnt thin crust with a creative array of toppings that don't just taste like every other pizza place in-town. Really enjoyed the Capricciosa pizza as a unique combination of flavors I had never thought to put together on a pizza, and of course the pepperoni/mushroom was super reliable. The interior is very clean and the staff was very quick to attend to my takeout order. Ordered and ready within 15 or so minutes - quite impressive! read more

My coworkers and I ordered pizza through Uber eats. I decided on the meatball pizza. The pizza was flavorful, with chunks of meatballs and a good amount of cheese, and the crust was the perfect consistency. The pizzas are offered in one size only, which could be shared with another person, or eaten as leftovers. I'd probably eat there next time, to enjoy the pizza hot out of the oven. read more

If you like soggy wet pizza then this is the spot. There was nothing tasty about the plain or chorizo pizza. You can keep the charcuterie board too. The staff was very friendly though. read more

Pupatella delivers solid Neapolitan-style pies with a lighter bake, which means the crust can steam in the box on the ride home and lose some snap. It doesn't travel especially well, but it wakes up beautifully with a quick revive in a 350°F oven once you're back. Toppings are generous and well chosen, the marinara is bright and balanced, and the mozzarella reads clean and milky rather than rubbery. There are small things that could be tightened, but when refreshed the pizza really scratches the Neapolitan itch in Richmond. Pricing feels fair if you order direct; third-party apps can push it into eye-roll territory. Recommended. read more

We stopped in on Sunday for dinner before a show at the Altria Theater. They apparently have a new POS system and it is having some issues. We waited a long time and did not get our pizza. It seems that somehow our order was lost. The staff were apologetic and "quickly" made our pizzas. One came out right away and the other one we had to pack up to take home since we had to leave to get to the show. We have eaten here before and have not had issues like we did on Sunday. I think it was just a bad night. read more

Got three pizzas here for dinner. Personal sized pizzas.. or for two kids. Both the white sauce and the red sauce were very delicious and the dough itself is quite tasty. However, our biggest complaint would be that the bottom of the pizzas were borderline undercooked.. I feel as if I should have asked for it to be well done. And I'd like to note that it's cut into 4 slices and I would argue the slices were absurdly large. All and all super good pizza and would order again. read more

Some of the best pizza ever. Shelby our waitress was super nice. They deserve five stars

Ok, have to say I would "pass" on Pupatella based on our trip there. For perspective, I am a Neapolitan pizza nerd. I make it at home - make the dough from scratch, have a proper pizza oven, since Covid I constantly look for ways to hit perfection in Neapolitan pizza.... While the restaurant ambiance and staff were great, the pizza was not great and IMHO not true Neapolitan. The crust was flat-ish and bready not puffy air pocket bubbles. What I like about true Neapolitan crust is that you want to eat the crust just as much as the pizza, not leave the uneaten "crust bones" on the plate after you eat the center. We did not eat the crust here. Additionally, the center of the pizza (and the bottom) was clearly under-cooked and even a little soggy. While you rarely get a Neapolitan pizza slice that is stiff, (typically you need to support with a knife or fingers) this pizza was completely limp and not fully cooked. Looking at the bottom of the pizzas they were mostly dough colored, no "leoparding". Sorry Pupatella, maybe we hit it on a bad day, but can't recommend based on our experience. read more

Consistently great Neapolitan pizza so I was surprised to see this is a chain. Across the board the house combinations are well composed with quality toppings and a nice crust with the right combo of char and chew. Highly recommend the arancini and meatballs as well. far better food quality, service and delivery times than the big chains. read more

Visiting family in Richmond and after big brunch needed something for the end of the day, so ordered for pickup, a Daviola and pesto cheese. Stopped for some beers to go from Tripple Crossing. Really hit the spot and highly recommend it . read more

We ordered a pizza for pick up. My husband picked up the pizza and said the place is really refreshing and comfy looking inside. He says it's small but has a great vibe. He loved the service, stating that weight staff were kind, professional, and helpful. The pizza was absolutely delicious. We will definitely order again and want to dine inside to try it out. read more

Yikes. The people there are wonderful but the food is not. We were looking for something less Pizza Hut and more authentic but this pizza tasted worse. The crust was rubbery, the sauce and topics without flavor. So unfortunate. I'm honestly confused by all the positive reviews. Does not compare to pizza places like Pizza Bones. read more

Pizza is outstanding like you get in a wood fired pizzeria in Europe. It's not fancy, yet the waitstaff is always kind, competent, and attentive. Love Pupatella! read more

Just left here and it's different. Nobody speaks English anymore, the restaurant is setup differently, and there are "Vera Pizza" signs hanging everywhere now. It's been sold, under new management, or something/m. Food didn't taste the same either. read more

My server was wonderful. Salad and flavor of the pizza was great. The pizza crust was soggy. Perhaps it could have been cooked a minute longer. Because of the vibe and flavors, I'll give it another try. I just wish the bottom of the pizza wasn't so soft. read more

Finally got in to try the paninis and they did not disappoint! Shelby was also great server and helped us out with some menu recommendations. Will definitely be back for another panini soon. read more

I came for pizza and left happy. The pizza was delicious, the price was simple, and the staff was kind. What more could you ask for? The place was also clean and safe, which is always important. I'll be back whenever my pizza cravings hit again. Honestly, this spot is worth it. read more

This place rules! great recommendation from bartender Julia, diavolo pizza with hot honey.

They are traditional Neapolitan pizzas - a thin, lighter style. They're personal size, sliced into four. They're also made fresh. I placed an order on a Friday night and it was ready in just 10 minutes. Parking is easy to find in the area too. The perfect place to satisfy a pizza craving without that oily and heavy feeling afterwards. read more

I became obsessed with the original pizza joint that started in Northern Virginia because they had amazing pizza, which they still have, but they had an amazing ambience also...Dimly lit, Italian vibes, small, etc. A place you wanted to do a date night... Add on a bottle of wine, etc. This location in downtown Richmond feels a little bit more like a Mod pizza than the vibe I once loved... no table service... You clean up your own plates... Almost like a glorified food court situation. Not a huge deal, but it's essentially a minimalist, modern version of the original Pupatella. Feels like private equity bought in and has arrived the company towards scale more than the local, authentic vibe. That's why it's just a 4 for me. read more

I've been trying to get here for a while because I heard it was the best pizza in Richmond. I'd say it was really good, probably not the best but definitely will recommend this brick oven pizza. Came in on a Saturday afternoon. There were a few people but not busy. The pizza oven looks so cool. I wonder if it takes long to get pizzas if they are busy because it's just the one oven. Maybe not because the pizzas we got came out real chick. We came in and placed our order at the counter. We sat ourselves and the staff brought the food and drinks to us at our table. We only got one drink but if we wanted another I guess we would have had to go back to the counter to place a separate order. Not really sure though. The staff was very friendly, the food came out quick and hot, and would return if in the area. read more

A little taste of authentic Italy in Richmond! Anytime I'm craving pizza from Italy this is the spot to go. Most recently I ordered the buffala bianca. The pizzas are made with simple fresh ingredients. The basil and prosciutto on my pizza were everything. The restaurant is warm and inviting and the staff are wonderful. This is a must go place in Richmond! read more

Great food, great experience! This is what lesser pizza dreams of becoming. I don't throw the term 'perfect' around lightly, but this pizza is pretty darn close. It was exactly what I was looking for from an authentic experience. People come for the food, but they return for the experience. Our waitress, Shelby, ensured our experience was fantastic and that we'll be back again soon! She was friendly, made great recommendations with fantastic expertise of the menu and elevated our experience to something special. This is a pizza worth seeking out and a place worth finding! read more

Amazing... we we're speechless at how delicious the pizza was! This is a MUST when looking for pizza in Richmond. Highly recommend the white sauce mushroom pizza and fried eggplant appetizer. Shout out to Shelby for providing us excellent service! We can't wait to return next time we are in town. read more

Great pizza and the staff are super friendly!! i've ordered you a bunch of times!! I usually can eat a whole pizza by myself.

Wow the pizza here was great! The personal size pizzas are made fresh to order. I dined in and it took about 15 min before I received my order. This is a causal restaurant, so you seat yourself and go to the front when you're ready to order. I'm not a fan of marinara so I generally opt for white pizzas. My fiancée choose the pepperoni and I was slightly jealous. The marinara was scrumptious , well seasoned and portioned perfectly. The crust is thin, but not too thin where you leave hungry. I will definitely return to try more options ! read more

Spectacular pizza , Nico is the guy good location, friendly staff the way you want authentic Napoli pizza

Pupatella is my one of my favorite restaurants in Richmond, and my favorite pizzeria in the country! I don't know of anywhere else that makes authentic Neapolitan pizza! Shelby is a fun waitress! She's very friendly and because of her I had good company despite dining alone! If you're in Richmond you should definitely come here! If you're from Naples you'll get a taste of home read more

pupatella was poop i'll tell ya. the pizza was soggy and wet. the mini charcuterie felt sloppily put together. atleast the server was nice

I take my other review back; THIS is the best pizza I've had yet in Richmond. They serve smaller, traditional Neapolitan pizzas, about 12", that cost $11-12. One is actually surprising filling and it's delicious. Real flavor and texture. I got the Traditional and the Pepperoni and both were fire. read more
