We are thrilled to spotlight Pupatella Pizza, a beloved Marquee-Level sponsor of South Lakes High School athletes. Their unwavering support helps fuel our athletes’ dreams and enriches our community in countless ways.

A Legacy of Authentic Neapolitan Pizza

Pupatella Pizza is more than just a pizzeria; it’s a culinary journey to the heart of Naples. Founded by South Lakes alumnus Enzo Algarme, Pupatella brings the rich tradition of Neapolitan pizza right to our neighborhood. Enzo’s story is as inspiring as his pizza is delicious. Originally from Naples, Italy, he moved to the United States to pursue a medical degree. However, his quest for authentic Neapolitan pizza led him to trade his medical textbooks for an apron, giving birth to Pupatella in 2007.

Starting as a humble food cart in Arlington, Virginia, Pupatella quickly gained a cult-like following. The demand for their authentic pizzas was so high that Enzo transitioned from a food cart to a full-fledged restaurant. Today, Pupatella is a household name in the Washington, DC, region, known for serving pizzas that adhere to the strict traditional methods of Naples.

Internationally Certified Authenticity

Pupatella takes pride in its Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN) certification from the Assozione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN), a prestigious honor that guarantees the authenticity of their Neapolitan pizza. This certification ensures that Pupatella’s pizzas are made following the 200-year-old Neapolitan techniques, using only the finest ingredients like 00 Italian flour, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and more. Every pizza is crafted in wood-fired ovens, delivering a taste that is as genuine as it gets.

Commitment to the South Lakes Community

Pupatella’s commitment to the South Lakes community goes beyond serving delectable pizzas. As a proud Marquee Level sponsor, Pupatella has pledged to give back 10% of orders to the South Lakes High School Boosters when patrons mention South Lakes. This initiative supports our athletes and fosters a sense of community and shared success.

Additionally, Pupatella has announced that it will stay open late this year after games, providing a perfect spot for post-game celebrations and gatherings. Their dedication to our community and efforts to create a welcoming environment for South Lakes families and athletes are truly commendable.

Why Choose Pupatella?

When you choose Pupatella, you’re not just getting a meal; you’re experiencing a slice of Naples’ rich culinary heritage. Pupatella’s pizzas are crafted with passion, precision, and the highest quality ingredients. Whether you’re looking for a place to celebrate a victory, enjoy a family dinner, or indulge in an authentic Neapolitan pizza, Pupatella is the perfect choice.
