Stopped in here before show at Altria and had no problem getting a table. The pizza was delicious. We’ll definitely come back to try more of the menu offerings.

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 the incredible food, the staff is friendly, efficient, and welcoming, making the overall experience even better. Highly recommended. I’ll absolutely be back.

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!!

TL;DR: Authentic Neapolitan-style pizza. My partner is a pizza fanatic and was very pleased with this restaurant. We went twice in one weekend because we were so excited to find a pizza place that had this style crust. Highly recommend! The ambience: Clean and classic. You can see the pizza and the oven right when you walk in. Unintrusive low music volume. Overall volume stays low enough that you don't have to shout to talk to the other people you're eating with. Plenty of tables of varying sizes and a back room with long hightop tables that larger parties can sit at. The pizza: The crust is thin, chewy, charred, and tender (in all the best ways!!), fresh and bright tomato sauce, creamy and light white sauce, and fresh ingredients all around. I loved the diavola and the onion tart the most. I wish there was a bit more basil on any of the pizzas that have basil, but that's just a personal preference (I really love basil!). All of the pizzas have 4 slices and will fill up an adult no problem. Pizza reheats up great in the airfryer!!! (300* for about 4.5 minutes) The rest of the food: The green salads were awesome. I would eat the Amalfi side salad every single day if I could. The
