“ I just ordered for the first time, through Uber eats. I ordered the pepperoni and mushroom pizza and it was delicious! Sadly the Uber driver brought it to me ice cold, but that's what an oven is for. The delicious pizza might be my new go to. I also ordered a side salad, a little heavy on the arugula, but very tasty. ”
“ This was AWESOME. the food was great, and our server was a sweetie pie. Such a nice environment as well. Def coming again!! ”
“ If I'm ever craving pizza I always come here. Pupatella is a great staple for me because of their consistently high quality pizzas. It's a certified Neapolitan pizza chain and I can definitely tell the difference. Because of that, it tends to be more pricy and smaller than delivery but what you get is way more worth it in my opinion. I usually always get the prosciutto and arugula one. I love how in every Pupatella you can see them as they make your pizza and put it in the oven. This location is the original and still my favorite one that I've been to. It feels very cozy inside and the staff is very friendly. Also since the oven gets so hot your pizza is ready in just a few minutes! ”
“ One of my regular stops for pizza. Crust is thinner here with a great bubbles and slight char in spots from the wood bring oven. Great ambiance and the staff is wonderful. ”
“ Came on a Friday around 5 and we were able to be seated immediately. The pizza lives up to the hype--I usually skip crust but I ate every bite of this one. Also shoutout to the server who did a phenomenal job waiting on a packed house that included many families with very young kids! ”
“ We had a lovely, spontaneous trip to Pupatella on a Wednesday evening. We were able to seat ourselves at an outdoor table (I had NO idea the back outdoor area was so extensive) since we had our dogs with us. We were quickly greeted with menus and waters, and then the server came soon after to take our orders. The food came very quickly and it was very tasty. Since we ordered at least two pizzas (1 for each of the 4 of us!), we were able to take advantage of the $10 off a bottle of wine discount. I have to say that is a really fun deal! Our server was very friendly and attentive while we debated ordering more. I will go back for the classica pizza! ”
“ Finally tried the famous Pupatella. I was so excited about trying the pizza that I had already scarfed down half of the pizza after realizing I didn't get a picture. I ordered online on a Friday around 6:30. Order took about 40 minutes. They were extremely busy and they keep a great flow of people. It was very lively inside. The pizza was great. I got the Caivano. The char was perfect. The crust wasn't extremely thin, which I like. This pizza came with tons of meat! No skimping. I will say that my pizza wasn't exactly saucy or super cheesy. Overall, great flavor and I will definitely be back to try more menu items. ”
“ I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon to see what all the buzz is about. The small parking lot in front of the restaurant was packed but I saw a sign about additional parking behind the 7-11 (it's actually next to 7-11, so don't get confused. There's a neighborhood behind 7-11) so I parked on the street there. It was a 2 hour max, no meter. I entered the restaurant and asked if they sold pizza by the slice. They do not. One of the staff saw my disappointment and offered that they have small pizzas available, about 12". That was ok, so I ordered a pepperoni pizza. Total with taxes was $17. I sat down to wait and it was ready within about 5 minutes. I ordered to go. I ate the pizza when I got home without warming it, but it was still good. A small/medium pizza has 4 very large slices; I folded them to eat them. The crust was nice and soft, though quite burned in some spots. And as someone who eats their crust, that was a bit of a bummer. Otherwise, it was good! ”
“ Small pizza spot that serves up certified Nepoletona-style pies Also have a few non-pizza options as well, including appetizers, panini's, and dessert. I believe they have a drink selection as well All of their pies have a maximum of 4 toppings, and even if you create your own pie you have to limit it to 4 toppings as well Pies are all 11', which (for me at least) are somewhere between personal sized and shareable sized I got a pepperoni pizza and it was very tasty and the ingredients were all very fresh. This being said, the pie was incredibly dough-y/chewy, and it could not hold all of its ingredients. It didn't help that it was only cut into 4 slices ”
