Prep Neighborhood Kitchen

Phenomenal sandwich. Perfect balance of sweet and savory with excellent pickles. Pizza fell short. Expectations did not get met based on reviews. I really wanted to love the pizza, but it was just okay. The dough was perfectly cooked, no flop, BUT… the crust was just not great compared to what was expected. Not sure if the starter in the dough had a rough couple days or what but the crust was stiff and hard more like an overcooked bread than an airy pizza crust. I’d like to return to give it another shot, I’m hopeful the pizza will be better next time! Below I’ll show my pizza crust compared to other reviews. Overall staff were awesome, fresh ingredients, hopeful that dough will improve on next visit.

Wonderful food. We dropped a package at the nearby UPS store and window shopped for a dinner restaurant. My wife and I shared fried peppers with corn on the cob and a mushroom ravioli entree. I had a (shared) Pilsner beer, and we shared an ice cream. We almost did not eat here- my wife insisted that “Prep” meant it was a prep and cook your own food place. I insisted on asking, and learned it was a normal restaurant. The setup was seated immediately with a carafe of ice cold water, two water glasses, and two small plates. It is a perfect setup for sharing. We were told to order at the counter. After ordering, the food was served at the table and we were checked on every few minutes. The corn and peppers were a lot. Both very good. The peppers were the consistency of cooked spina

I have eaten at prep neighborhood kitchen three times now. It’s quickly becoming a family favorite. The menu changes all the time but it’s always pasta, pizza, salads, sides, and a few other dishes that vary. Everything is made from scratch from sauces to pasta and sourdough crust. You can tell the ingredients are high-quality, and everything I’ve tried is delicious. They do a lot of take out, but there are a few tables with a very casual atmosphere (paper napkins, no tablecloths). There is wine and beer available. The people who run the restaurant are very warm and friendly.

Absolutely incredible hidden gem in Arlington for high quality Italian cuisine. The focaccia is one of the best I have ever had. Don’t skip the roasted carrot dish, it was one of the standout items we ordered. We enjoyed the garlic knots, chicken parm, the chicken sandwich, and several pizzas. Every single dish was delicious and made with high quality ingredients, you could tell. The red wine was a divine Montepulciano. The owner takes great care and pride in what he serves, and the experience eating here was such a treat. Everything was so good that we forgot to take photos! Can’t wait to come back

Definitely not a margherita pizza .and very different from the Pictures. Plus I have never seen in my whole life making pizza with latex gloves 🙄
