- Katie HatfieldMay 29, 2013You absolutely can't go wrong with the Margherita pizza. Everything about it is perfection from the first bite to the last. I was on a date and I still ate my whole personal pie. (He did too)
- Andrew CerdaMarch 30, 2014Yes, the pizza is fabulous- as are all of the small bites: cheeses, meats, etc. I recommend the goat ricotta with honey and pine nuts. Soft and sweet in just the right ways.
- Authentic pizza is why you go! Stay at the bar for lovely drafts , nice wine, apps to share are great (and different at the bar!) Ask for cheese, evoo or pesto for pizza crust ends !
- TaraFebruary 17, 2013Get ready for a long wait. They do a great job at crowd control though. Getting there early in hopes of a shorter wait is useless since this kid friendly restaurant has lots of families waiting early
- Neville EmmanuelJuly 27, 2015I suggest give it a try. It is not your typical style of food. I enjoyed the sardines even if it is salty. The pizza is simple but very enjoyable. Get there early if not your going to wait for a table
- Grab a drink in the bar while you wait for an back patio table. The Mascerelli montepulciano rosé is bright and dry, pairing lovely with a warm evening and the best pizza in DC.
- loran jonakApril 1, 2015Great authentic Italian pizza but be prepared to wait a while. They have a really good beer selection, if you can muscle your way to the bar thru the crowd.
- Margherita is to die for! Sweet buttery mozzarella, mild tang to tomatoes, and fragrant basil combination is unbeatable!
- I've found that a classic 2 Amys pizza with olives and pesto is a great combination.
- Behrad EatsAugust 31, 2015The Norcia is a solid choice: tomato, salami, grilled peppers, fresh mozzarella, and grana.
- JohnJune 20, 2012Hands down the best authentic Italian D.O.C. pizza south of Jersey and one of the only restaurants to serve "suppli" -- a fried-cheesy-ricey delight tasting like its directly from the "Old Country."
- Eric EmanuelsonMarch 30, 2018Pizzas are delicious. The menu takes a slight twist on classic topping combinations, but not as adventurous (for better or worse, depending on your mood) as Comet Ping Pong. Fun atmosphere and bar
- Washingtonian MagazineJanuary 9, 2012Some of our favorites—deviled eggs topped with piquant green sauce, gorgeously fried prosciutto croquettes—never leave the menu. Look to the specials for interesting spins on seasonal veggies.
- Leo GomezJune 27, 2017Cute Local's favorite stop great for families with kids and take a lay back bite, my favorite was the Speck and the Vongole pizza.
- Norcia! Oven-roasted olives! The small plates! You can't go wrong. Used to live around the corner from this place. Now I live in chicago. When I am in DC I eat here as often as I can.
- Steven AndrophyNovember 30, 2014The margherita extra was fantastic (try it with prosciutto for something different), but the polpettine al forno were out of this world: some of the best meatballs I've ever tasted.
- Burrata Cheese is Amazing! Rapini is a must! They use the most delish balsamic vinegar! Fav Salad on the menu is the Escarole. The Pizza is Certified by The Italian Government Neapolitan Pizza!
- Ursula PfeilAugust 8, 2013Best pizza in town! To avoid a long wait, grab a table in the area behind the bar. No reservation required.
- Chris DolfiJanuary 18, 2016Pizza was out of this world, roasted olives were de-lish, and the porchette was amazing. First time here, will be back!!
- Bader || ✈️October 29, 2015It was delicious 😍 you have order bruschetta and pizza margherita , also all staff was nice
- Delicious and authentic pies! Went for lunch time on a weekday and it was packed! Gets a little noisy with kids..
- Geoffrey MorrisJuly 19, 2013Truly authentic pizza! You'll never look at chain pizza the same way again. Order the Margherita Extra if you love cherry tomatoes as I do.
- wonderwillowNovember 3, 2012For dessert- get the Marsala Custard and an espresso. Eat the first half of the custard alone and the second half dipped in espresso. You're welcome.
- Morgan ThomasFebruary 3, 2015This place is casual but has some great pizza. Get the orange salad and the Santa Brigida. They also have a sparkling red wine.
- KrisJune 12, 2017everything here is good! reasonable wait time a bit noisy but can't be helped friendly and excellent food
- Karthik RamanNovember 9, 2014Solid Neapolitan pizza. Ask for the off the menu special - pepperoni, hot peppers, grana cheese on margherita base
- A BCMarch 18, 2012Salt cod croquettes are out of this world and the Norcia pizza is amazing. Be sure to get here early for dinner - there is usually a wait.
- Kat CorlissJune 1, 2018Skip the bruschetta. Get the seasonal specialties — you can always come back for the permanent items.
- Easily the best pizza in dc. Make sure you get a d.o.c. pizza, you'll be glad you did.
- FiOS 50November 28, 2011Grab a seat at the bar and order a charcuterie plate while you wait for your table to try the authentic and much in demand Neapolitan pizzas.
- Lee ShepherdOctober 25, 2013The 2Amys sausage and peppers special was fantastic. The cannoli is ... Different.
- Bailey MichaelJuly 29, 2013Hands down best pizza in Washington. You can build your own. I suggest trying the goat cheese with pesto!
- Antoninette BiaforeJanuary 20, 2023the pizza with mussels is my favorite, great wine selection, and a really nice date night vibe.
- Jessica PlacenciaFebruary 3, 2016Amazing pizzas, salads GET THE ROSÈ it's special. Often packed so plan ahead.
- Quality neighborhood institution. Neapolitan pizza at its best. The vongole rocks it.
- Michael GoiteinJanuary 6, 2017Ingredients are fresh, but there's something clearly lacking in the execution. It's just OK. For a more authentic Neapolitan pizza, the choice of the Italian community is Da Marco in Bethesda.
- Nour KhouryApril 11, 2013Make sure to order the squid and potato salad. And the oven baked pizza is the best in town
- Darrin FriedmanNovember 15, 2011It's well known as a great pizza place but I think it's underrated as far as romance goes. From good Wine to great food and AWESOME price, this is a great date place.
- Michael CirritoApril 25, 2010This is only the second place that I know of in the US with Old Speckled Hen on tap. Fantastic complement to their pizza. (ps the other placeto get it is Spotted Pig in NYC)
- Lyda AthanasiadisNovember 27, 2015The margharita is always a favorite but the calabrese is amazing!!
- Natalie KatesFebruary 2, 2015Delicious pizza and a great beer selection. If it's busy see about sitting at the bar - it's full service too.
- Amber HackerNovember 17, 2013Meat and cheese platters delicious. Pizza was wonderful - wasn't crazy about sausage on pizza (tasted kinda watery and oily). Salads were also awesome!
- Margherita pizza is the only way to go! Love the deviled eggs
- Reagan BarbosaFebruary 12, 2017I want to cry, this pizza is so good. The almond cake was delightful.
- Derek FromsonDecember 1, 2012Potato and prosciutto croquettes and Norcia pizza are a few definite must-haves at this tasty pizzeria.
- Danielle DaSilvaJuly 13, 2018Some of (if not the) best pizza in DC. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
- BravoNovember 29, 2010Best pizza in DC hands down! Relaxed, comfy and besides the pizza, great beers. -Tamesha Warren, Top Chef
