You 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, 2014
Yes, 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 !

Get 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

I 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.

Great 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.

It can be to get into the airy dining room at 2 Amys, as the Cleveland Park restaurant has a reputation for its authentic Neapolitan pies. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

The Norcia is a solid choice: tomato, salami, grilled peppers, fresh mozzarella, and grana.
Behrad EatsAugust 31, 2015
If you're only getting one pizza, make sure it's the Margherita Extra!
JohnJune 20, 2012
Hands 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, 2018
Pizzas 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, 2012
Some 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, 2017
Cute 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, 2014
The 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, 2013
Best pizza in town! To avoid a long wait, grab a table in the area behind the bar. No reservation required.
Chris DolfiJanuary 18, 2016
Pizza was out of this world, roasted olives were de-lish, and the porchette was amazing. First time here, will be back!!
Bader || ✈️October 29, 2015
It 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, 2013
Truly 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, 2012
For 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, 2015
This 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, 2017
everything here is good! reasonable wait time a bit noisy but can't be helped friendly and excellent food
Karthik RamanNovember 9, 2014
Solid Neapolitan pizza. Ask for the off the menu special - pepperoni, hot peppers, grana cheese on margherita base
A BCMarch 18, 2012
Salt 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, 2018
Skip 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, 2011
Grab 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, 2013
The 2Amys sausage and peppers special was fantastic. The cannoli is ... Different.
Bailey MichaelJuly 29, 2013
Hands down best pizza in Washington. You can build your own. I suggest trying the goat cheese with pesto!
Antoninette BiaforeJanuary 20, 2023
the pizza with mussels is my favorite, great wine selection, and a really nice date night vibe.
Jessica PlacenciaFebruary 3, 2016
Amazing 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, 2017
Ingredients 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, 2013
Make sure to order the squid and potato salad. And the oven baked pizza is the best in town
Darrin FriedmanNovember 15, 2011
It'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, 2010
This 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, 2015
The margharita is always a favorite but the calabrese is amazing!!
Natalie KatesFebruary 2, 2015
Delicious pizza and a great beer selection. If it's busy see about sitting at the bar - it's full service too.
Amber HackerNovember 17, 2013
Meat 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, 2017
I want to cry, this pizza is so good. The almond cake was delightful.
Derek FromsonDecember 1, 2012
Potato and prosciutto croquettes and Norcia pizza are a few definite must-haves at this tasty pizzeria.
Danielle DaSilvaJuly 13, 2018
Some of (if not the) best pizza in DC. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
BravoNovember 29, 2010
Best pizza in DC hands down! Relaxed, comfy and besides the pizza, great beers. -Tamesha Warren, Top Chef

Always order the Suppli, if u like fizzy wine go w/ the Gragnano, if crowded order special dessert once you are sitting. Calzone is great for sharing along with a Escarole Salad. Read more
