Pupatella is a restaurant that offers a cozy dining experience, both indoors and outdoors, making it suitable for families with children. The kitchen is open, allowing customers to see the chefs preparing the pizzas. The service is generally good, with kind waitstaff, although there may be some organizational issues.
The Margherita pizza is especially praised for its fresh tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil on a perfectly charred, chewy crust, making it unforgettable and a must-try in Washington, DC. The Napoli Salad is also noteworthy, with delicious and flavorful dough. However, the red and white sauces on the pizzas have faced criticism for being too watery and too milky/creamy, respectively.
On the other hand, the appetizers have received positive feedback, despite being fried. The sampler is a great option for sharing. Customers have noted that the cocktails and wine are delicious, with reasonable prices, contributing to an excellent overall dining experience.
Pupatella is recognized for its outstanding service, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who go above and beyond to accommodate requests, such as providing honey to dip the crusts in. Overall, Pupatella offers a pleasant dining experience with tasty food, particularly the Margherita and Classica pizzas, making it a favorite for families and pizza lovers alike.
