Pupatella - Reston

We dined there on a Sunday evening, and it was quite chaotic. After waiting 15 minutes, I had to inquire about the status of our pizza, only to find out that it hadn't been started yet. On the positive side, the bartender was excellent—prompt and very helpful. We ordered the Mimosa pizza, which impressed us with its great crust and unique flavor combination. The corn was fresh, crispy, and perfectly roasted.

The pizza was delicious, and the appetizers were fantastic. However, the customer service left much to be desired. We had to pay for our order upfront and then place it, but after that, we barely saw any waitstaff at our table. We ended up having to get our own condiments from a table near the entrance since no one offered them to us. When we left, no one acknowledged us or said thank you or goodbye, even though the restaurant was quite empty.

Authentic Neapolitan pizza with an otherworldly crust and chewiness. I ordered the prosciutto with arugula, and it was devoured in no time. If you're not too hungry, one pizza can easily be shared between two people who aren't very hungry. However, if you're feeling hungry, it's definitely suitable for one. The photo was taken at the Pupatella location in Arlington, although I managed to snap it after half the pizza was already gone!

Excellent Neapolitan pizza! I had their meatball appetizer, a margarita DOC with sausage, and a draft beer. The total with tax and tip was around $40 and I ended up taking half the pizza home with me.

I had to wait a long time without any apology from the staff. I won't be returning here again.
