Pupatella

Ordered the capricciosa and frittura sampler. Service was fast (slow day), but the crust was airy, the sauce was flavorful with the perfect amount of cheese and toppings (and coming from a pizza state, this is very much a good thing), shoutout to fabi and the cooks for a great experience 10/10 would recommend and come back

Please don’t say that you have Neapolitan pizza. This is not Neapolitan pizza. Dough is not crusty and raw, corners don’t contain any air. Waste of money. Taste is not so good, acidic sauce. We ordered salad caprese also - that was just joke. This place doesn’t have any soul.

We have tried the pizza here before and absolutely loved it. However today we got the arancini and it’s so incredibly small. For $10.75 getting 4 very small rice balls is not what is pictured on the menu. Very disappointed for a high price in such a tiny item. These are mini and should be half the price.

This location is always excellent. Started with the Frittura sampler. One sausage arancino, one eggplant arancino, one panzarotto and two fried mozzarella balls with marinara (only one in photo because my hungry toddler has the fastest hands in the East). Peak aroncini. The method is flawless. Other than changing the flavors of the ingredients to suit personal tastes, you couldn't get better. The marinara is a little oversweet for my tastes, but it's great for what it is. The Diavola was our red sauce choice. Spicy salami, fresh mozzarella, basil. The edges of the salami were delightfully crisped and the flavor was great. Really good quality ingredients. White Sauce: We got an Onion Tart the first time we came here and I crave it all the time. Still phenomenal. Italian cream sauce, caramelized onions, nutmeg, Gruyère, bacon. No one is doing caramelized onions this well locally below $50/head dishes. I'm an onion obsessive and I'm tellin' ya folks, they're doing it right. This is my #1 on the whole menu. Nothing soupy about either pizza. We got a delicate crust kissed with fire. White sauce was better than red sauce, but both are batting 90th percentile for NoVa pizza joints easily. I saw some hype about the paninos so I grabbed the meatball to try. I try to always grab one experimental dish when I'm out just to see if there's any new favorites to be had. Honestly, this wasn't my new favorite. The bread was great and had a very satisfying outer crust. It was a very simple construction, but that let the ingredients come through. I think I prefer a meatball with more spice. Mozzarella quality was great and it couldn't have been better prepared overall. If you're someone who prefers variations on a more "plain" flavor profile, I think you're going to love this. Not for me, but I'd heartily recommend it to the right person. How much is two pizzas, a full sized meatball panino, and the most expensive Appetizer on the menu? $64.34. That's it. If people have lost track, large pizzas at most fast food pizza places are pushing $20. This is beyond fair for the price. And let me throw in a shout-out for the consistently good service, also. They're always so kind to us when we have our 2-yeard-old in tow.

After hearing soooo many reviews about Pupatella I was fortunate to be near one at lunch time on a weekday and have friends meet me there, so we tried a few different pies that we all shared. When it comes to toppings, they do as good a job as most better pizza joints, so I won’t go into the specific toppings we chose, other than to say they were spot-on what we expected and we were very happy with them. Since it seems that process and crust are more contentious I’ll talk about those two… We had “heard” that their crust can be rather soft, so we asked for our pizza to be cooked slightly longer and they immediately knew what we were referring to and all three pizzas came out very similar and the crusts were perfectly done. The flavor, texture, and look of the crust/dough was similar to a thin naan, almost the flavor of a chapati, they even had black char marks on the bottom, which offered excellent flavor too! Their red sauce is solid and very tasty. The assembly was great! One issue with a lot of places is they don’t assemble the pizza (sauce and toppings) properly, thus there are huge portions of unflavored/unsauced crust, but not any of the 3 we got today, they were all perfectly symmetrical and that extended to the experience of enjoying great bites of flavor. Overall, this wasn’t the best pizza I’ve ever had, far from it… but it was really good and I can see why some people say this chain is one of the best. I still prefer Ciao in Centreville over this one and even Orofino in Fredericksburg is slightly better than what I had today. But overall, for a true Italian, chef-inspired pizza, Stracci in Del Ray is by far the best! And for the absolute best in NY style, that would be Teddy’s in Middleburg, with Andy’s being a close second.

The pizza is overhyped. We ordered 3 pizzas. It took quite a while for them to come out, and when they did, 2 of them were very cold. Sauce and fresh mozz are very good, but the rest of the toppings were disappointing. Fireworks makes a superior pizza all day every day!

Restaurant is welcoming, pretty lighting, & clean. Unfortunately, the food isn’t as great as the setting. The pizza tastes weird, like gummy- as if the pizza isn’t cooked all the way. The slices are very thin and greasy. Waitress was slow but the food came in a timely manner. I’d say try it once, but I was really disappointed. I’d rather have 7-11 pizza than this, for a fraction of the price.

One of the best, most authentic Italian restaurants in the area. After visiting several times, I can confirm that everything I've tried on their menu is of top quality. In particular, the Diavola pizza is amazing.

Good pizza, friendly staff. Looks like a decommissioned Pizza Hut, but food is much better.

Food- pizza is soggy in the center. There are also no condiments like ranch or blue cheese. Service is good. Ambience is an updated Pizza Hut building I tried giving a second chance, but won't go back

We tried the Sausage & Onion with provola (fresh smoked mozzarella). Toppings were good, especially the sausage which had lots of flavor. Crust was good although some parts had a little too much char. This was an online order via Toast and the order was available on time. Overall I would say this is a 3.5. Good not great and really the issue for me is that they don't compare to Fire Works which is pretty close to this location.

The restaurant experience was so much better than the last 3 times I have been here! Congrats on the improvements! The fried zucchini sticks were done perfectly and deliciously crisp! Loved them. Again, I got the Caprese pizza, and it was done perfectly! The best experience here and with today's experience, I can highly recommend them. I am new to their style of pizza, but hey, new can be great, and I am one to try different experiences. Great job with the food, service, and atmosphere! I will return again. Kudos on everything! The pizza is rated high on flavor, and i'm beginning to like the very thin dough! If you want thin dough, this is the place. I don't want all of that bread. Enjoy!

I ordered a meatball pizza and sausage Arachini. The sausage arachini was crispy, very tasty. I feel there should have been some marinara on the side. If that was an option, I missed it. The pizza itself was very tasty. The crust was slightly underdone. The edge of the crust was done. The remainder of the pizza was slightly under done. It was only Luke warm. That is not on the restaurant but grubhub. If I could give another half star, I would. Due to the crust being slightly done, I am giving them a 3.

First trip here after hearing many great things about it and it definitely didn't disappoint. I got the mushroom white that was mushrooms, garlic, Brie . Pizza was fresh all the ingredients you could taste individually and together made a really good Neapolitan pizza.

Food's great, service was prompt, professional, and attentive. Strongly recommend and encourage folks to try. A real gem.

I was a little worried that with pupatella's huge expansion, the quality might not hold up to what it was in the original Arlington location, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was just as amazing as I remembered, though could have used a little extra time in the oven. The store is obviously trying for an aesthetic, but it seemed to not really fill the space with the crowded, busy, fun atmosphere of either of the Arlington locations. I was a little disappointed that there was no espresso or gelato on the menu anymore either, but glad to see how much the menu has grown.

Whenever I travel for work and it's time to eat I Google either "neapolitan pizza, tacos, or bbq near me" as a culinary roll of the dice. Today my travels brought me to Virginia about an hour west of DC and I discovered a place called Pupatella .2 miles from my last work stop so I drove over. Neapolitan pizza spot in an old pizza hut building with no one inside but the cook and server. The first bite tells you all that you need to know so, since Neapolitans are always a bit floppy, I decided to fork and knife it. Lovely balance of noticeable mozzarella, quality sauce, and pleasant aroma. After devouring the balance of the slice I began on the crust and it was just as satisfying. Soft but chewy, not as fluffy or delicate as I would've liked but still a very acceptable slice in such an unassuming location. Bravo on this chain, I really am shocked that I never knew about this place OR that Virginia had people who know how to make pizza!

On Saturday evening, we experienced extremely poor service at the restaurant. Despite there being 5 tables, we waited for 20 minutes without anyone coming to take our drink orders or even acknowledge us. Although the manager, Cesar, kept apologizing, we decided to leave because I couldn't imagine how long a simple pizza would take. We drive to Chantilly with the intention of having Pupatella, just like I used to in Richmond years ago. This time, it did not disappoint. The service was prompt and friendly. Waitress name Michelle B.

We attended a birthday celebration here for a first grader this weekend. While the kids were busy creating their own personal pizzas, adults were invited to step back and socialize and unwind w open bar , a couple of appetizers and various pizzas to choose from. I thought open bar at 10am sounded too early, but they offered mimosas and coffee drinks which made it enticing . Maybe a Bloody Mary option would have been nice too! I thought it was a great concept to keep kids and parents entertained! The pizza was super fresh and tasty. I thought the woman leading the activities w the kids was patient and able to keep their interest and attention. To incentivize folks to return, I thought maybe offering a discount at their next meal could be a nice offering.

First, this place should be 5 stars becuase it is honestly the best pizza around for a lot of miles. The reason they lose a star is the service and timing. The waiters are nice, but SLOW. My god so slow. The kitchen was also incredibly slow. They have digital ordering tablets getting tickets to the kitchen the minute you order, but it took 21 minutes for our second pizza to come out on a slow Saturday afternoon. Can't imagine how long it takes on a busy Friday night. And this was a slow Saturday with 2 pizziolo cooking and 2 ovens, and not a lot of takeaway orders. You could tell everyone in the restaurant was anxious to eat and surprised by the long wait times. Classic Neapolitan style pizzas designed to serve one and should be eaten in house. It is important to remember that Neapolitan pizza doesn't travel well for takeaway. Crust flavor is excellent. Good gluten development, excellent rise, ideal leopard spotting, and nice amount of toppings. The DOP Margherita means that it has Water Buffalo Milk mozzarella. If you haven't had that, it is a more tangy flavorful and richer mozzarella that you can never mistake for cows milk mozzarella. Worth the extra money for the extra flavor. We also got the April pizza of the month (the Otolana) that featured zucchini and salami. It was super good! Really glad we also got this to try as it was unique and a bit spicy. They have a bar and the prices for glasses of wine and beer are reasonable. Cute spot but needs help from management to get this place functional when a dinner rush hits.

Pizza was good. I would definitely order from here again. Ingredients tasted really fresh!

It's a place the deserves a better location. Yes, it was once a Pizza Hut. The most true to Neopolitan-style pizza in the area (maybe County?). Fireworks kinda counts but they get a little thinner on the dough and crazy with the ingredients. Pine nuts on a pizza is ballsy, but it works. It's a difficult location to get to, and is surrounded by - two vape shops, a used car place that for some reason only has mid 2010s Jeep Wranglers, a check cashing place, and a sketchy gas station - all on a five lane stroad. I feel like if this place was to get a location downtown or somewhere off the path of commuter traffic, it would get a lot more traction. But then again, maybe we don't need 10 pizza places just in Leesburg. Worth a detour if you're into Neapolitan pizza.

My husband and I usually order from Reston, but they were out of Fig and Pig (I seriously look forward to this seasonal pizza all year) so we decided to drive the extra 10 min and try out Leesburg's new Pupatella! We were not disappointed! My husband thought the arancini had better texture than other Pupatellas. My Fig and Pig was loaded with prosciutto (equivalent to a double order at Reston). Overall, their pizza was on par with other Pupatellas (not enough better to routinely drive extra) and we're excited to have a pizza option on our way home from Leesburg wineries!

Cute interior. Pizza makers all wearing red hats. They do have a bar. Came here for lunch and they were pretty busy. I was getting 2 pizzas for carry out. Estimated wait time was 10 mins. But both pizzas got burned, so they had to remake them. But still, it was not a bad wait. Had ordered the mushroom pizza, which is a white sauce, pizza. And a chorizo pizza. Both were quite good. The bill was in the high 30s for two personal pizzas. I would say the pizzas are on the pricey side, but in their defense, they are sort of specialty pizzas, not your every day pizza from most places. Right now you cannot order to go either online or from phoning it in. You have to walk in and wait. I believe they are trying to get some online system up, but for now, if you want to take a pizza home, you'll have to physically drive there and wait.

Been hearing good reviews so finally got to check them out Friday night. Place looks great, nice updates from Pizza Hit days. Great friendly service, Alex was friendly knowledgeable guy. I had the Mimosa white pizza, really really good. Nice crispy crust from wood burning oven. Decent price for quality, will be back soon.

Stopped by tonight for dinner. We were seated quickly and greeted by the friendly host. After being sat we were provided waters almost immediately. Next our server came by and we placed our order. We just stopped by to give the pizza a try. After ordering two pizzas the waitress said "is that all" which my other and I found slightly off putting. Nonetheless we tried the Margherita pizza and the classica. I Wish we would've tried something more adventurous but the pizzas were decent. I will say there was no difference between the classica and Margherita besides the price. Service was speedy! We made it in just in time because when we left, the parking lot was full.

I was stoked to hear this place finally opened in Leesburg. Took my mom here last night for dinner. Had the arancini with sausage, the caivano pizza and some cold Miller lites. Our server, Marissa was amazing, friendly, helpful and funny. Pizza was good, full of meat so that if you lift a slice, it does not stay horizontal bc it's full of toppings! Arancini was crispy but then cheesy, gooey deliciousness inside. Totally recommend this place. Was not very busy when we arrived at 530pm but by the time we left there were several people waiting for a table.

The food here is reliable, and the best pizza we've found in the area. Ingredients are of a high quality, and all dishes can be customized. Our servers have consistently been warm, professional and knowledgeable, and John is a standout. Pricing is quite fair. The Italian pop music can be a bit much, and they've done the best that they can with the decor, given that the space was previously a fast food joint. The best recommendation that we can offer is that we keep coming back. It's our go-to restaurant for a quick dinner out. You should give it a try, and we'll look forward to seeing you there.

Hidden pizza gem in Leesburg! It's a franchise that's so good and Tim's now available in Leesburg, VA. For pizza lovers, this crust is super thin so flavor has nowhere to hide! It's small and portioned for one or shared with someone who's worth it ;). But there are plenty of appetizers to help abate hunger. The service is great and the general manager LEO is amazing!! Customer service is primo here!!

What a great pizza night with Pupatella! We ordered two pizzas online for pickup, plus a bottle of the house Sangiovese wine. Delicious! Everything was ready on time and the food was terrific--especially the prosciutto and arugula pizza. I was impressed by their beer list, too, and look forward to another visit so I can enjoy their adorable patio.

Meh, save yourself the embarrassment and go to fireworks pizza instead. This used to be the old Pizza Hut. I like what they did with the place but it still has Pizza Hut vibes. The pizza is ok.

So this is a new pizza place at the same location as the old Pizza Hut. We wanted to try it out as we had heard good things. Let me tell you! We are so happy we did. Right off the bat, the service was amazing! We had a party of 6 people and they were able to put two tables together to accommodate. the manager was so kind and helpful and our server was also quite incredible. The pizzas came out very quick and we're oh so tasty. We loved the freshness and the crust was quite good as well. I usually don't eat the crust but In this case I couldn't put it down. The ambiance was also quite nice. Not too loud. Very good job all around. A +

Great pizza but high price tag. We decided to try this promising new restaurant for lunch one day and ordered two individual pizzas to go. I was shocked to see the price was approaching $40 with a tip. That, however, was the ONLY downside of Pupatella. We tried the Chorizo and the Mushroom pizza, and both were phenomenal. Clearly they use quality ingredients and the crust is just perfect for my taste. Hard to believe one can get a pizza this good outside of Europe! The restaurant itself is modern, attractive, and clean. The service is also excellent. We called to order ahead and they were not to that point in their infrastructure, but were very nice about it and will soon have on-line ordering. Think of Pupatella as more of a dine-in restaurant and less of a take-out-pizza enterprise and the cost could justify the experience.

We got their frittura sampler, side salad, and sausage and onion pizza. Appreciated the fact that they let they blotted oil from sampler so it didn't come out greasy. Side salad was OK, but pizza was delicious! Im not a big fan of super greasy, cheesey pizza so i love this style of pizza. It was even better the next day re toasted! Definitely returning!

Pupatella is a solid pizza restaurant. I have truly never had a bad meal here. The Leesburg location is always clean and the service is fast. My favorite pizza is a build your own and its tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, eggplant, and meatballs. It is delicious. I named it the moussaka pizza. I also love their salads and make a great addition to a meal. There are a ton of options and menu items to try so it's a good place to bring a lot of people.

Great pizza and the outdoor patio is a nice touch for ambiance. Located in the former Pizza Hut on market street. The mozzarella balls were delicious as well. Service was a bit slow, but it was a Saturday night.

Very good pizza. Employees were pleasant and efficient. The size of the pizza is a little small considering the price. If you are a pizza fan you should try this place. I'll come back but only when I'm due a treat. A little pricey to be my regular go-to pizza place.

The pizza was good but I'd doubt u would get better service at a 4 star restaurant in DC. Not only was the waiter super nice and came over 4 times to check on us- but a manger came by to see if we liked our food! Love this place!

This is hands down the best pizza in Leesburg, VA. Delicious wood fired pizzas and a large variety of other Italian dishes. Fast delivery and on time arrival when scheduled in advanced. A great slice of Italy right here in Leesburg!!

This is a cool place! They did a good job updating the building, which used to be a Pizza Hut. They added a patio and outdoor bar which will be nice when the weather warms up. Service was okay- it seems like they're still getting up to speed. The pizza was good. At first I was disappointed by the flimsy crust, but according to the website that's how it's supposed to be: "Real Neapolitan pizza... cannot be crispy. The resulting product must be soft, pillowy, fleshy, and light." So once I knew what to expect I didn't mind it. I got the Caivano which is kind of like a meat lover's pizza. It had bold, smoky flavors. I'd like to come back and try other things on the menu. It's pricey but okay for an occasional treat.

Expensive gourmet pizza. Pizzas are small and feed only one person. Bring spouse and 2 kids and the tab exceeds $100. Fireworks is better and less expensive for fancy pizza. Many places in town for affordable traditional pizza.

very solid pizza. The spicey divola was legit, the kids bimbi pizza was a great deal and the same size as an adult pizza. The fried matza balls were amazing. all in all great little place. Love the interior reovatioms they did to this once upon a time pizza hut.

This is not the Pupatella that I remembered in Arlington (the first Pupatella) when I use to go there for good pizza. The brand has lost its quality. This place is not good. I ordered mushroom and pepperoni pizza. I took a small bite and it tasted so bad. The worst part was there smell that made me nauseous. I couldn't even eat my pizza. I had to throw it away. I just can't believe they are serving pizza like this. I'm very disappointed of the quality and I paid $18 for a small pizza.

The food was good and we had a great meal. The service was very spotty. The place is clean and albeit it has only been open a few months since they opened this location.

Great Neopolitan pizza and a welcome addition to Leesburg. Tasty crust. Fresh ingredients. Fast. Not one bit oily/greasy. We'll be back!

Great new restaurant in Leesburg. Authentic Italian pizza. If you are unfamiliar with this, authentic Italian pizza is a thin soft crust that has a nice chewy texture. Soooo good!!! Lots of great combinations or make our own. Fresh mozzarella... great appetizers! Happy to have another pizza option in Leesburg!

The food and service were amazing and the waiters and bartender were extremely helpful and friendly.

Extremely delicious pizza and appetizers! Neapolitan style pizza, which I prefer. Tastes like it came straight out of Italy--so soft! Also love the Burrata Platter, attached a picture. To die for, and have been back three times now in two weeks!

We came here on a Monday night. They had a steady crowd but seem to have the staff coverage to manage it. The hostess was very nice and our waitstaff was friendly. I think maybe there needs to be a little more training on the menu offerings but I can understand since they haven't been opened long enough. The happy hour cocktails were a little light on the alcohol. The pizza was good but I think I made a mistake ordering the burrata white pizza. Burrata is a love of mine so I could not resist but on pizza is was too wet causing the crust to be soggy. Overall I think we'll come back when they've been open a little longer and try some different menu options.

Best Neapolitan style pizza in Loudoun County by a pretty long shot. Reasonable prices, quick, good happy hour, outdoor seating...great addition to the restaurant scene

Absolutely delicious with great service. My first visit here and won't be my last. We ordered two pizzas and the arincini with sausage. The arincini was flavorful and perfectly portioned. Then we got a white and a red pie. Both to die for. I was pleasantly surprised by the Mimosa pizza, which has corn kernels. It was my favorite of the two (the other was the meatball). The crust was to die for. We were offered parmesan, olive oil and balsamic. Didn't go for the balsamic but took some olive oil to dip our crusts and it tasted really high quality. You could sell me on crusts and oil for a full meal. I rarely give such high praise to a Loudoun County restaurant but you've won both a husband and wife over who grew up spoiled eating amazing American-Italian food since we were in diapers.

This Is a fairly new spot, which opened in January. The pizza was delicious especially the crust. I also had a spicy Paloma which I quite enjoyed. All pizzas are individual I believe. Would highly recommend!!! The service was impeccable. Our server was great!!!

The pizza was so fresh! The crust was yummy! The sangria was the best I have ever had...fresh, full of fruit! A great addition to Leesburg!

This was our third visit. They really need to work on their service. We were seated right away then no one came to take our order after sitting for 15 minutes. Not an offer of water or a be right with you. Several "servers" walked by our table...nothing. Other employees were doing side work rolling silverware. So we left. The food is decent when you can get someone to take your order.

For my first visit I tried the charcuterie "board". What a unique take on this concept - the "board" was one of their pizza crusts - plain but topped with meats, cheese, fig jam, nuts, etc - all of the elements of a great charcuterie board but with baked pizza crust instead of bread. It was great! Service was good as well - we were a large group with separate checks which is sometimes hard to pull off. Looking forward to going back to try their arancini.

My pizza was very salty and had onions in it instead of garlic while also forgot to be cut My garlic balls didn't have cheese in 2/5 balls My "ginger ale " was sparking water My server was good came over once and made sure we were good and filled our drinks The area is clean with good music family place but not the right food care for it
