    We had a nice family dinner. The food was delicious you can tell the meals are made with fresh ingredients, the staff was great and the atmosphere was so nice especially for my child. We loved the meatballs, cheese pizza and the Nutella Angioletti Fritti! We will be coming back again for more family dinners.

    Great pizza and many choices. Individual pizzas are about $20. We had Diavola and pepperoni. Also ordered the Brussels Sprouts. Outstanding. The restaurant is in a converted Pizza Hut. Can’t help the atmosphere.

    Delicious neopoloitan stone oven baked pizzas! We've tried several and all have been excellent. Great service when we've dined in. Pizza is better fresh than when you do take out/delivery so if possible dine in, it's worth it. Their homemade lemoncello and amaretto are delicious!

    Pupatella (Columbia, MD) - A Genuine Neapolitan Experience Pupatella in Columbia, Maryland, establishes itself as a premier destination for lovers of authentic pizza. Backed by the VPN (Verace Pizza Napoletana) certification, the quality is evident from the moment the pizzas emerge from the wood-fired oven, featuring the characteristic airy and slightly charred rim (cornicione). To evaluate their range, we sampled two fundamental classics: the purity of the Margherita and the complexity of the Capricciosa. The Margherita is the perfection of simplicity. It's a testament that high-quality ingredients need no embellishment: the San Marzano tomato sauce is bright and balanced, combined with fresh mozzarella and a touch of fragrant basil. Each slice is a pure bite of Italian flavor, a gold standard for this iconic dish. On the other hand, the Capricciosa is a delicious, multi-layered adventure. It comes loaded with classic ingredients—cured ham, mushrooms, artichokes, and olives. What's noteworthy is how the base remains structurally sound under this variety of toppings; the dough is still tender but robust enough. It offers a wonderful contrast of salty, earthy, and umami flavors that make every bite a different experience. If you're looking for the unmistakable Neapolitan crust (soft in the center, crispy on the outside) and flavors faithful to tradition, both pizzas are an excellent choice and demonstrate why Pupatella has such a well-deserved reputation.

    Kevin was a caring and attentive server. The Ragú pizza and the Nona meatballs are outstanding! Crust and sauce are balanced and delicious!! The gelato and homemade amaretto are delectable . Our first visit and most definitely not the last.
