Huge news on the local pizza front. Pupatella Neapolitan Pizza, an Arlington-based brand, has signed a lease for its first Loudoun County location. It will be opening in the former Pizza Hut building on Market Street in Leesburg.

Pupatella specializes in the style of pizza made famous in Naples, Italy. The 900-degree wood-burning ovens are imported from Italy and the restaurant’s pizza makers have to undergo specialized training in crafting Neapolitan pizzas.
