🏨 Pupatella – Richmond's Slice of Authentic Naples

This isn't just another pizza place; it's a passionate dedication to the strict traditions of Verace Pizza Napoletana (True Neapolitan Pizza). Your strong endorsement hits the core of what makes it special: an uncompromising commitment to authenticity that results in exceptional flavor. The Neapolitan Standard: 🔥 The Art of the 90-Second Bake: The magic happens in a hand-built, wood-fired Forni Valoriani oven imported from Italy, burning at approximately 900°F (485°C). Each pizza bakes in about 60 to 90 seconds, creating the hallmark characteristics: a soft, chewy, and beautifully charred cornicione (crust) with a thin, tender center. 🍅 Ingredient Purity: True to form, Pupatella uses only the essential, high-quality ingredients sanctioned by the VPN association: San Marzano DOP tomatoes, Fior di Latte or Bufala mozzarella, fresh basil, extra-virgin olive oil, and finely-milled "00" flour. The simplicity allows each element to shine. Why It Stands Out: Pupatella brings a level of focused authenticity that is rare. It's not about endless toppings, but about perfecting the classic Margherita and Marinara, along with a few respectful seasonal variations. The experience is about tasting the perfect harmony of fire, dough, and premium ingredients. "Where Richmond meets Naples in 90 seconds. 🔥 A wood-fired temple to true Neapolitan pizza, crafting blistered, soft-crusted perfection with imported ingredients and unwavering tradition." #Pupatella #Richmond #NeapolitanPizza #WoodFiredPizza #VPN #Authentic #Pizza #Foodie #Carytown
