[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute restaurant with great pizza![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The crust/bread is PHENOMENAL, I usually don't eat my crust but truly enjoyed every bite. Service was also fast and attentive, everything came out quick, and the staff had a very nice "family", small business feel to it that was super welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant's outdoor area was perfect for a warm spring day, super cozy and feels like you're in someone's backyard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While I felt like the sauce for the pizzas were a little plain, all of the topping ingredients and pizza dough were such great quality and helped make up for it. The almond cake was a little dry, but paired wonderfully with the tart cherries and ice cream. Overall, a super cute place that I would love to come back to try more things! read more

Great pizza in DC and great service. Home made recipes. Real brick oven pizza. You can't ask for better all around.

Excellent pizza, the meatballs were exquisite and the deviled eggs surprised me. We were visiting town moving in our daughter into Howard University this past weekend and wanted something wholesome, local and they didn't disappoint. read more

It honestly took a couple of times to get used to Neapolitan pizza as it's thinner, almost soggy, and different from what I'm used to but now I'm kind of obsessed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super family friendly and have high chairs and kids sippy cups and offer milk for kids for just a couple bucks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is always great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Casual but nice, great for a date or for family night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Even though it's kind of far for us we find ourselves making the hike pretty regularly! read more

Good dough. The pizza was nothing memorable. It is very soggy like many others mentioned. I am not sure if you can ask for it a little crispier or well done. read more

Honestly for the price, I don't know if 2 Amy's is worth it.... I hate to say it! The reviews are so great and rave about the pizza, but genuinely I can't fathom spending $24 on a ten inch Neapolitan pizza. It is crazy to me! Maybe it's because I'm from a small town where a 24 inch pizza is $20, but yikes... Don't get me wrong, the pizza is good. We got it to go. It was definitely soggy but also burned at the same time? I don't know. All the toppings kept falling off unfortunately because of how floppy the dough was! Again, tasty, but messy. Our to go order was fast and the service was good at the to go counter! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The actual restaurant is a bit small and crowded, but probably nice for a quick eat with family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Again, it tasted good, but I think you can find better Neapolitan pizza in DC (and for a better price). read more

Made a last minute decision to stop here for pizza as we drove by and was pleased with my experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating is broken up into 3 areas, bar seating, the second floor which is much more intimate and quiet, or the ground floor where you're exposed to the open kitchen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was lovely. The wait staff was super responsive and cared for our every need. We ordered 2 pizzas and some meatballs. The meatballs were a charred a little too heavily for my liking and were a little bit dry. The pizza was solid though. It had a very good balance of sauce to cheese to crust. read more

We had a nice Sunday lunch at 2 Amys. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was busy but they made room for us at a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a true Neapolitan menu with lots of Italian favorites on it. We got a delicious salad, an interesting rappini app that was OK, and 4 of their pizzas. The roasted eggplant one was the most interesting - intensely smoky! Overall the menu was meaty-er than I thought at first glance, but we were able to make things work as vegetarians. Fine service and loved the no tipping - prices seem high on the menu as a result, but they are "all in" prices. We'll be back if we're in the neighborhood. read more

2 Amys Neapolitan Pizzeria - A perfect cocktail to start the evening. - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is the best pizza I've ever had. It's what I compare all pizza to now. This sucks because I live in Texas now and I can't eat eat whenever I want to. read more

I thought I would give this place a try for two reasons. 1) This is a non-tipping establishment, where gratuities are included, which is good since I personally and very strongly dislike tipping culture. 2) The reviews were good, too. I only tried the Margherita pizza, since I think it's always a good start to judging the quality of the pizza, and I wasn't disappointed! The sauce and toppings were flavorful, the crust was a bit chewy with a bit of a crunch, and the pizza itself wasn't soggy. I also had a beer. I think they have a decent beer list, but I would hope to see more stouts in the future on top of what they already have! Otherwise, all else was good and I'm sure I'll eventually be back in the future to try another pizza flavor and maybe a dessert this time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My eating experience here "almost" made me feel as if I was eating at a restaurant somewhere in Europe for about an hour, between the no mandatory tipping policy and the laid back vibe of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I personally hope that this will be the future of eating out in the US, which I think is many years overdue. The only thing I wish they'd do is include the tax in the published price. Overall, I give this restaurant a recommend! read more

I've lived in DC for three years, and 2 Amys has and will always be the first restaurant I recommend to anyone in the area. I love this place. 2 Amys has incredible Neapolitan-style pizzas that come right from the oven to your plate -- tear-apart hot, fire-blistered but chewy dough, savory olive oil and herbs, incredible toppings -- but what really shines about this small restaurant is its incredible seasonal-inspired menu. Check them out on Instagram to see what they're doing, but expect something creative -- I've had an assortment of sardines, salads, fried meat ball things that I forget the name of because I'm not Italian, porchetta (such amazing porchetta!), and homemade ice creams. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, beautiful ambiance -- warm and inviting with excellent decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone who works there has the kindest heart -- moreover -- and even though there aren't reservations the kitchen and server staff are efficient and will get you seated as soon as they can, as long as you're as polite to them as they are to you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm moving in a couple months and it makes me sad to leave this place behind -- I feel like I'm eating dinner in someone's home when I'm here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

2 Amys Neapolitan Pizzeria - Vongole Pizze - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is my second time coming to 2Amy's. Both times I've been, it has been packed inside. I managed to find a seat at the bar by myself. A 20% service charge is included in the price, so there is no tipping. The service both times has been okay, nothing to write home about. I ordered: A glass of colpetrone Sardines with bread, butter and olive oil: at first it didn't sound like much, but I really enjoyed it. It is one of the best appetizers I've had in D.C. The salty sardines, butter, and bread complimented each other so well. 9/10. Etna 2.0 pizza: this pizza had smoked mozzarella di bufalo, fried eggplant, pine nuts, parsley, and tomato sauce. It is one of the best pizzas I've had in my life. All the ingredients went together perfectly, and the crust was crispy and chewy. 10/10. The last time I came, I ordered the Calabrese pizza, which came with olives and sardines. It was way too salty for my taste. I wouldn't order it again. Overall, I love this chill, neighborhood Italian restaurant. I will definitely be back. 4.5/5 stars. read more

A few friends and I went out for lunch, and we were not disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First, the ambiance was spectacular. It had a relaxed, classic vibe that I found truly charming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Second, the pizza was as fresh as it gets. The mozzarella was on point, the sauce was perfect, and the crust was the best I've ever had. Airy, crispy, and perfectly light. Absolutely astounding. Lastly, the service was excellent. The waiter was very friendly, the pizza came out quickly, and we were seated immediately. It's a MUST if you're looking for delicious pizza near the National Cathedral. read more

Pizzas: 8.5/10, super thin, tasty pizzas with unique toppings like eggplant and rapini; I like a crispier bottom and due to the toppings it did get soggy pretty quick Meatballs: 9/10, flavorful with tangy tomato sauce, just wish the bread crust was softer, especially since I went with my grandparents Mixed greens salad: 5/10, the dressing was overly sour and it was a pretty overpriced salad with no toppings for $10 It's a nice place to stop for lunch if you're in the National Cathedral area! It's pretty bustling, although there was no line during Sunday lunch. read more

2 Amy's is the OG of Neapolitan Pizza in DC, and though it's no longer the only pie in town, the food still never disappoints. The very simple menu helps them keep the quality high -- just a few salads and starters, plus a dozen or so creative pizzas. Aesthetics are also a big part of this restaurant's success. The dining room is beautiful and intimate and bustling, but the tile floor, tile walls, tin ceiling, and close together tables combine to create 82 decibels of noise -- far too loud for a comfortable conversation. If you don't want to shout, or be a part of a superspreader event, then try to get a table outside on the covered patio, it's highly recommended. read more

Not worth the price. Mediocre pizza, small portions of everything. Cannolis were weird. I wouldn't eat here again or recommend this spot.

Expect a wait when you arrive! We came on a Friday evening and were told a 45 minute wait. Though you have the option of waiting at the bar, it is a small area and was already crowded so our only option was to wait outside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Be sure to dress warm, although we were, towards the end of out wait, my feet were starting to get very cold.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is small, busy, tables are seated close together and the dining room floor is hustling and bustling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were brought here by our friends who rave about this place and they had every right to. We started with two orders of suppli which is a fried risotto ball stuffed with mozzarella, these had a perfectly crisp outside with a soft, tender inside, but be careful, they're hot hot! Tip: order a side of their tomato sauce to dip, it's so good you can drink it. For our entrees our party ordered primarily pizza with the exception of myself. The Pozzuoli with sausage and peppers had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I opted for a stuffed calzone - the ripieno basilico with ricotta, mozzarella, pesto and tomato. It was all the flavor combinations my Italian self drools over. It was well stuffed with each of the cheeses and you can taste the flavor combination of each of them, the pesto was also very tasteful. I will say, this filled me up very quickly, so I took this for left overs and thought it tasted even better in the following days to come. read more

2 Amys has a great menu. Just about everything hits. The pizza can be too saucy at times, but it still tastes great.

Amazingly, quick brick oven cooked pizza. Doesn't matter which one you get they are all great. All ingredients are fresh and you can tell immediately upon the first bite. They have special appetizers each week, and as of yet, have not had one that failed me. The barrata and prosciutto dishes seem to be directly from Italy Excellent wine list that is very well priced. The service is excellent all around. Come early they do get crowded but the staff does the best they can to see you quickly. If you are in DC, this is not a place to miss for pizza. read more

Love love love this restaurant. It's such a gem. The food and service are both impeccable and it feels like you're eating in Europe. Highlyyyy recommend the Etna 2.0 eggplant pizza. I didn't even think I'd like it that much from the sound of it but BOY was it the best pizza I've ever put in my mouth. I'm still dreaming about it to this day. All the appetizers I've tried are mouth wateringly delicious, especially the meatballs. Also recommend the almond cake!!! Scrumptious. Even their cappuccino is A++. Skip all the restaurants nearby and come here, you won't regret it. Bonus: no tip!! Cost of service is included with the food :) read more

This is a place my son found when he was a professional ballet dancer for Washington Ballet. We would frequent this restaurant whenever we were in town for a performance or show. The pizza is the closest pizza I have had to true Italian pizza outside of Italy. To say it is amazing is an understatement. The pizza is cooked in a wood burning oven and comes out piping hot. The cheese is truly what makes this pizza so good. We had not been in a while so this was a slice of heaven . Since, the last time we went the restaurant had chosen not to add a gratuity line to your bill and are now charging prices which allow staff to be paid fairly. This was a nice change to see and the only restaurant in this country where I have seen that . Highly recommend if you are in DC to check this restaurant out. Reservations are NOT accepted and they do get packed on a Friday and Saturday night so come early. Wonderful casual dining experience in DC. read more

I wanted to like this place but just nothing stood out, nice casual vibe, attentive enough surface and food you expect. We got the salt cod croquettes which I think I liked the most, lots of fish and nice with the lemon and aioli. We also got the norcia pizza, I believe and I know the middle of a Neapolitan is supposed to be soft but it was a little too mushy for me. The crust at the end was however perfectly crisp and soft at the same time. read more

2 Amys Neapolitan Pizzeria - Salt Cod Croquettes - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We ordered a Siciliana pizza! Boy, it was so overpowering with the Rapini. The crust was so thin that you couldn't even pick it up with your hands. It may be popular in Sicily or in Italy, but I don't think their pizzas are that great for $25 4 slice pizza that was not very filling? Going to Costco tomorrow. read more

This place has very thin and amazing soft pizza crust, which is great for thin crust lovers. However, one caveat, pizzas here do tend to run a bit salty. Or maybe it was because of the anchovies on all pizzas I tried so far: - Puttanesca 2.0 pizza - love the ingredients/flavors but it was a bit too salty for me. Perhaps the anchovies made everything taste quite salty. If the saltiness level was taken down a notch, I think it would've been perfect. - Today's special cauliflower & anchovies pizza - quite salty with anchovies and capers on top of that. I don't think I'd order that again. - Polpettine al forno - good, solid meatballs Service was excellent and kind. read more

This is how you do it. Great food. No hidden fees (transparent menu pricing that respects the intelligence of patrons by not hiding fees, treats staff like professionals, and respects voters who passed I82 without some snippy line about passing on costs). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dinged one point for herding patrons into the bar area like cattle to wait.

i have to eat at 2 Amy's every time i travel to DC. my company is headquartered here, so that's 2-3 x per year. It is an excellent restaurant in every way. their napolitano pizza has to be in the top 5 of the USA. it is certified DOC italiano and stuff. their appetizers, salads, soups, drinks, and desserts are just as good. it's a beautiful space, with two nice patios, and the service is always spot on. i've recommended it to many people over the years and they've become regulars as well. they do not accept reservations, and they frown on tipping (there's no tip line on the bill, but you could leave cash). the neighborhood is super desirable and hard to find parking in, but there's a reasonably priced parking garage right next door. if you're a fan of authentic italian pizza, you've got to go :-) . read more

This is one of the best pizza joints in DC. It also has a great bar area. The place is usually packed. Unfortunately, they do not have any gluten-free options. I came with my wife because they had a steak on the menu. Let's just say this is not a steakhouse. The steak is prepared in the pizza oven (cross-contamination), and they only make it to medium rare. They said this was a restriction of the oven. The steak was very fatty, and I barely ate half of it. So, although their pizzas are great (so I am told) and their bar has a great vibe, I cannot recommend this place to gluten-free folks. read more

3.5 stars I'm Italian and I so I have very high standards. The pizza, I should say, looks authentic. The taste not quite, but it's one of the better options here in DC for Neapolitan pizza. Some options are better than others, however. The Pozzuoli and Etna are definitely great options. Appetizers are not really mind-blowing; you should definitely prioritize the pizza. I like the casual vibe, typical of a pizzeria in Italy. But the service could definitely improve, especially if the tip is already included in the check. read more

2 Amys is pizza like you've never had. It's legit, authentic and no joke about it, quality Neapolitan pizza. The toppings are classy and scrumptious and the crust cannot get any better, it's superb. You want to try and new type of pizza come to 2 Amys, it's different than what we are all use to, because of the quality and the toppings to choose from, but it'll open your eyes to a whole new world (yes I am talking to you Princess Jasmin) of pizza. It's the uniqueness and fine quality that makes 2 Amys a must visit when you come to DC or are new to DC or live in DC. If you are a foodie 2 Amys has your tummy calling your name. I recommend trying to get a seat outside in the back patio, it's awesome back there and the service is on it. Quick, polite, helpful, good communicators, you can tell they want you to comeback. They also have outdoor seating along the street out front, which is perfect for this May and June season before it gets to hot. 2 Amys is also kinda of your local pizza place, right on the outskirts of the neighborhood. If you are visiting the national cathedral it's a 9 minute walk (I googled it) and it's just great. I've gone here a few times now and it gets better every time. Great pizza, great salads, great calzones (they call them something else) and good beer and wine list. It's a win win and it's going to be hard to be 2 Amys. read more
