Pupatella Pizza – Arlington VA
Growing from the rise of food trucks popping up all over DC and Virginia, this once-pizza truck has now expanded into a brick-and-mortar just outside of DC, in Arlington, Virginia. While the truck has been parked due to the expansion and workload of opening a new restaurant, the pizza has transitioned rather well from the street to the store. Pupatella specializes in Neapolitan pizza, blister-thin and baked for only a minute in a wood-fired pizza oven straight from Naples.
Good: Pizza is chewy and toppings are fresh and wonderful. There’s a good char on the pizza to give it that smokey flavor. Overall, you can get their daily special, or select one of their other favorites. Or of course you can make your own. Friendly staff and quick service add to the positive vibe.
Bad: Not too much – its a small place though so it would probably be tough for groups, and since their pizza comes out quick and fresh, a option to go might leave your pizza a little cold by the time you get home. Some flavor combos also might be a little too much, so if you’re a traditionalist, just stick to the margarita.
Wine: Though I didn’t get to sample a wine or beer list, I can only guess that they have a simple list of wines to choose from. Next time I’m in there I’ll get a better look.
