    Stopped here mid day to work remote and because the sandwich picture on the street lured me in. Meatball sub was exceptional, every part of it was homemade. Must have, and very reasonably priced for how big the sucker is

    If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Our service by Windi for my birthday dinner was so special and perfect— she handled a large party of 15 with grace and a smile. Food was very delicious, atmosphere very festive, and staff very friendly! Thank you for an unforgettable birthday, Pupatella! We look forward to visiting you again soon!

    Had a fantastic lunch here. I like the outdoor seating, which was very accommodating for me and my dog. My waiter, Danny, was very friendly and very prompt. It was a very thoughtful gesture bringing drinks for both me and my dog. His lunch suggestion was spot on and was delicious. Throughout the course of the meal Danny was very attentive and made a concerted effort to make sure I was well taken care of. Will definitely return the next time I'm in town. Tha k you guys!!

    We had such a great lunch at Pupatella! Our server, Windi, was incredibly patient and kind, even though we were a bit indecisive. We shared the Spicy Diavola pizza, and it was absolutely delicious — the dough was thin and crisp, with just the right balance of flavor and heat. It’s easy to see why Pupatella has such a strong reputation! They also use DOP certified Italian ingredients which is great. Windi went above and beyond by offering us a discount for our next visit, since they were out of the panna cotta dessert we wanted to try (which looked amazing!). We’ll definitely be back soon to try both that and the cheesecake she recommended — and maybe the ragu pizza next time too. Overall, a really warm, satisfying, and memorable dining experience. Highly recommend! 🍕✨

    This is a wonderful spot to stop for a bite to eat. Especially on weekdays, they have an $11.99 lunch special for a 9 inch pizza that comes with a salad. My pizza was great, you can tell it was made with quality ingredients. The dough is the star really, it was perfect. I also had a bit of gelato for dessert, and that was delightful. The chocolate was super rich and I loved the thick consistency. Parents be warned though, it can get a little messy in these small cups. My server was super polite, helpful, and fast. I had absolutely no issues with service, which js why I’m not upset the tipping defaults to 22%. The restaurant itself had a cool interior, good music, and ample seating. They also have outdoor seating available. Highly recommend if you are in the area and love classic pizza.
