The original Pupatella Pizza location at 5104 Wilson Blvd in Bluemont has closed temporarily after an employee tested for COVID-19.
The popular pizzaria announced the closure “for a deep cleaning” this morning on social media.
“We’re doing everything we can to support our staff and community during these trying times,” the restaurant said.
Pupatella’s new S. Walter Reed Drive location remains open for pickup orders.

Even with its dining room closed, Pupatella says it has been selling hundreds of pizzas a day. It has also been donating pizzas, including to local first responders.

We're still trying to figure out how to eat these delicious slices donated by @PupatellaPizza while wearing our masks… When we find a way, we'll let you know! Thank you all for the support! #maskface #pizza #communityspirit #ThankYou pic.twitter.com/LAuNmDJVBl
