Pupatella

$
One of the D.C. area’s most popular pizza spots sits unassumingly in strip mall territory near a gas station and a 7-11. Don’t let the off-Metro location deter you; this place cooks up fantastic Neapolitan-style pizza in a basic but lively dining room. It’s hard to get more authentic; the chef, the ingredients, and even the wood-fire oven come straight from Naples. Pizza’s the star here, but don’t skip the friggitoria menu of fried bites like arancini or fried calzone. On nice evenings, head to the homey back patio for al fresco dining. You can also order pies for take-out, but there’s no delivery service here. The parking lot fills up quickly.
