Review is for the new PUPATELLA off Slater's Lane in Alexandria VA.
It's in my neighborhood so we walked. Noticed limited # spot parking lot, minimal if any street parking. Went on opening day around 1145 am; got seated right away but servers were largely absent throughout stay. Took ~10 min for someone to show up to take our drink order and food order. Seasonal specials on the menu but not actually available to order yet.
Went with soft drinks, margarita pizza, and brussels sprouts app. Food was fabulous and served quickly. No server appeared to check on us or to refill drinks; I believe the marketing manager ended up checking on us and helped out. Also no server to bring bill so we closed the tab at their point of sale system.
Decor is plain; hopefully they will add some art to the walls at some point. Two unisex bathrooms were clean. Very narrow pathway to get to them past the indoor seating and the bar seating. Large folks and wheelchairs will struggle to navigate to the bathrooms. The usable space inside the narrow building is limited so not sure if this is a fixable issue.
Patio seating is a mix of low tables and high tables/chairs, assortment of non-adjustable small umbrellas to block sun, looked like they could be moved around. Clearly dog-friendly, I saw at least three water bowls in use or available to use.
Saw a lot of vehicle traffic on Slater's, but did not hear the traffic on Slater's or the GW parkway. Most tables inside and out were occupied; the music over the speakers and the ambient patron noise was loud enough to drown out traffic. There is an access road and line of trees between the restaurant and GW parkway which helps to minimize the traffic view.
Food was worth another visit, though you should give them time to upskill their servers and perhaps hire more servers. Given the parking issue and the limited seating inside and out, I suspect this location is more suited for walking locals and carry-out than travelling diners. This location isn't really suited to be a destination dining experience.

It was good-the pizza crust was pleasant. Not too greasy or bread like. I had the chorizo. The desserts were also good-strongly recommend the strawberry tiramisu

This isn't a review of only 1 time I've been here, but rather every time. This isn't for 1 dish, but the dozens enjoyed. This isn't about 1 server, but the entire staff (just don't tell Caesar and inflate his ego anymore...) I'm here every week because of the incredible food, drinks, and people that consistently make my Tuesdays something to look forward to, and hope more people discover and celebrate the same.
Closest pizza we have found to the extraordinary pizze of Naples, Italy. We love Pupatella pizzas. We started with the Burrata platter. Burrata is a step above mozzarella and this burrata was creamy and superb. It came surrounded by delicious tomatoes and salad and toasted bread. We ate most of it and then had to take 3/4 of the pizza home! Our main server, Fabi, was excellent. She was attentive and made great suggestions. Another young man was also very welcoming. Great lunch!!
