I am a Pupatella fan

My goal for these days off was to eat pizza at Pupatella, the Ballston street vendor beloved by Washingtonian, the Post, blogs, and – as I confirmed today — the crowds of people who have yet to discover it.

The pizza was terrific. Fresh from the mini-ovens on a beautiful day, I ate in the park with a bottle of water, watched the farmers market go by, listened to a shaggy lunch concert, and considered how that Love Potion No. 9 line about her mixing it up right there in the sink was hot ('cept for the gold tooth). I folded slices in half and they disappeared.

And then I ate Pupatella's cream puffs. Little red cart, you did so right.

    I had the same goal on one of my days off in DC, and I agree–fantastic concept, delectable pizza.

    I can't wait til they're able to execute on their restaurant dreams. Anne, you're going to have to move back across the country to get in on that.

    You could've been their No. 1 customer of all time. Good thing there's still time.
