Pupatella

Pupatella delivers exceptional, authentic Neapolitan pizza and easily earns its place as the best Neapolitan pizza in Richmond. This restaurant is a proud member of the VPN (Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana), which means they adhere to strict standards set in Naples, Italy—and it shows in every bite. The pizza is the real deal: super rich, creamy (buffalo) mozzarella, melt-in-your-mouth Tipo 00 dough, and cooked in a traditional oak wood-fired oven. The sauce is perfectly balanced—bold and zesty with very little sweetness. It’s important to note: this is not NYC-style pizza. If you’re looking for that, this isn’t the place. Neapolitan pizza is a completely different experience—lighter, more delicate, and deeply rooted in Italian tradition. Pupatella executes it flawlessly. On top of th

Good food and cool decor. Welcoming, cozy place for a date or small group of 3 to 4 people. The pizza was well made and tasted nice all around - cheese, sauce, and dough were all quality. Definitely a pie I would order again, but most likely in restaurant. The meatball appetizer, bread, and the prosciutto mozzarella sandwich were all tasty as well. Certainly worth another trip to try some more pizza and food.

I came and ate solo dinner here couple weeks ago after work and let me first say I love the parking options and inside was so nice and cozy. I was immediately greeted and was able to order magnificent options! I ordered the classic cheese, the bites of pizza bites (doughy probably messed the name up), strawberry tiramisu and a natural peach lemonade. The food was fresh, delicious and even better on the rewarm. The food wasss so good and I truly enjoyed their version of Neapolitan pizza. Pricing wasn’t too bad and I truly did enjoy the eats. Don’t knock it till you try it, yummmy!!

Went here with a work colleague by his recommendation. The pizza actually did taste the same as I had experienced earlier this year in Italy. I got the margarita and would get it again. It was light, not heavy on your stomach, just like in Italy. Thin crust, cooked to perfection. Clean restaurant and friendly staff.

Everything was delicious!! We ordered appetizers, several pizzas and Italian Cheesecake for dessert. We loved everything!! The pizza dough is wonderfully light! Definitely check this place out!!
