Luckily, you don’t have to travel too far to get a good slice around here, especially if you happen to live in Arlington.

Whether you tend to agree or not, you most certainly won’t be disappointed that you tried these pies.

This is the original location, although you can also find Pupatella's in Richmond at 1 N Morris St.
As soon as you step inside, you'll see what makes this pizza joint stand apart from the rest: the bright red wood-burning pizza oven imported from Naples.
Kristine C./Yelp
These special oven bricks were crafted using ash from Mt. Vesuvius. This allows for incredible heat retention, which translates into an incredibly hot oven. Most pizzas cook in just one minute.
Featuring hand-made pizza crust topped with the finest ingredients, the menu at Pupatella offers a little something for everyone.
Jodie R./Yelp
The dough is exceptional and features only four ingredients: flour, fresh yeast, sea salt, water. The flour is also imported from Italy to ensure authenticity.
If you're having trouble deciding which pizza to order, the restaurant offers a few of its favorites, including prosciutto, arugula and parmesan...
