The place was very nice and clean. The service and food was excellent. We will be coming back. My only complaint was the lady in the next booth on her phone talking very loud. Why? No one wants hear your conversation. read more

Family run business that has been open since the 1970s and that has been featured by the media for having one of best 50 pizzas in the US The place has both indoor and outdoor seating and a solid selection of both pizza options as well as a smaller selection of both apps and non-pizza entrees Casual vibe I came here with my fiance and 2 friends and we split 2 16' pies between 3 of us (the 4th had a 12' pie to himself). The 3 of us who split the 16' pies only made it thought 1.5 of them, so we were left with a 1/2 to bring home The pizza was pretty soft and chewy, but it was still pretty tasty Tasty complimentary bread and olive-oil as well The knocks they get are that they didn't refill our water glasses until the very end of the meal and we asked for one of the pizzas without olives but they didn't take them off read more

The more I go to this restaurant the more I like it. The food is good and they have a Happy Hour 3-5 pm for 30% off, Monday through Friday and includes alcoholic beverages. It's a great incentive to go early. The staff is friendly and tries to be accommodating. For example, I wanted my drink a little sweet. The waitress said she was making it and yes, she made it sweeter. It was very good. This seems to be a neighborhood go to place. Very family friendly. I've already been here several times in the last month or so. I meet friends there and they too enjoy it. read more

I don't want to be mean but this wasn't worth $35-$40. The cheese didn't stick but the cheese was good. The cashier seemed new, and they were about to close but the cashier/host wasn't really helpful but was very polite and attentive. The restaurant itself was pretty big with many seats and a bar. I probably won't go during dinner again? I don't know but it was ok. read more

Voted best pizza in Arlington. Boy did they have huge shoes to fill with that accolade. I came in expecting to be Wowed by their pizza and it was just alright for me. I made a mistake and didn't realize this was a fork and knife establishment. I picked up my pizza and all the toppings fell off. But to be honest... even with "fork and knife pizza" the toppings should not be goopy and slippery. Does the best pie and Arlington hold like that on the regular? Nothing special about the toppings either. The crust and dough were the best part of this experience, but an amazing pie, should have all component's complimenting each other. Is it decent pizza? Yes. Best pizza in Arlington? I don't think so. read more

We love this place. This is certainly a community Hot Spot and the food is amazing. We have been coming to this location for 10+ years when they had a semi style Buffet which was great to this new look and feel. Last night was no exception. Unfortunately, we tried to make reservations for Wednesday night for dinner and the time slots we wanted were gone by mid-day. So, we tried walking in to see if we could get a table. Note: Weds Nights are 1/2 Pizza night, and the community turns out with family and friends. Between 5:30 pm - 7pm this place is slamming; however, they will try to accommodate you if they have the space. read more

This place is a hit! We glad we listened to a recommendation and found this place. We had bruschetta which really good! The pizza we had Diavola, Prosciutto with Arugula and pepperoni. Everything was so good but my fave is Prosciutto with Arugula. The dough, taste and feels like am in Napoli again. We also ordered the lasagna, but I think it's not for our party. It's not bad but we just have high expectations. The staff were wonderful, really fast and they are there in the right time. The place was has its own character and charm from the outside to inside. Sittings are available outdoor and indoor. For sure we will go back! read more

Most authentic Italian pizza in the DMV. The numerous awards are well deserved. I ordered a 12 inch Margherita pizza. Great balance of sauce and cheese. The crust was crispy, not too thick, and brought me back to the years I lived in Italy. The flour is even shipped from Italy! The 12 inch feeds one person quite easily, but can also be shared for 2 with an appetizer. Service was friendly, genuine, and fast. Vibe was casual. While I only ordered pizza, I'll be back for happy hour! The wine selection looked impressive, and happy hour applies to whole menu! read more

A Modo Mio offers many food specials. For example, on Tuesdays, that's when we stopped there for dinner, all their pasta dishes are 1/2 price. However, given that they ranked 32nd among this country's top 50 Pizza restaurants, I had to order a pizza. And I'll get to my pizza after I discuss some other things, because it all plays together. Also, during my visit, I kept drawing comparisons between this place and Pupatella, a local Neapolitan pizza juggernaut. The Big Question to answer is why A Modo Mio got a spot on the Top 50 while Pupatella didn't even make the cut. Access is easy, and parking is good. There are lots of spaces that wrap around the restaurant. That's in contrast to Pupatell, which has limited parking and where I always wind up using the Safeway lot across the street. The restaurant is clean and spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating. It also has a long, well-stocked bar where you can sit to enjoy a beverage or a meal. Pupatella doesn't have any of that. When you arrive, you're greeted by a host who shows you to your seat. A very short while later, a waiter shows up and does all the things waiters do. At Pupatella, you wait in line to place your order, then find an open table. TLDR: Your dining experience, outside of the food, is much more civilized and relaxing at A Modo Mio. The pie that earned their 32 out of 50 ranking was the Sicilia. But I ordered a 12" Casertana because I'm not crazy about eggplant and like sausage. The pie arrived a short while later, piping hot and loaded with sausage. The taste was sublime and delicious. My only complaint was that the basil was added before baking, and I prefer that herb when it's not reduced to ash. So back to The Big Question, is the A Modo Mio pizza *that* much better than Pupatella that it earned a spot amongst the Top 50 while the other one didn't even make the cut? Frankly, it's not. It is good pizza... possibly great pizza. But that's also true of the other place. What sets A Modo Mio apart from that other place, and the answer to the Big Question, is that the criteria for generating the Top 50 list included more than the pizza. It also took into account: - Hospitality and Service - Ambiance - Beverage Program. Beyond the pizza, A Modo Mio has those things in abundance, while the other place pretty much has none. TLDR: Comparing pizzas side by side, the two places are on par. However, if you take into account the entire dining experience, you will be much happier with your pizza here, as opposed to that other place or most other pizza restaurants in the DMV area. read more

I had the opportunity to have New Year's Eve dinner here and I was able to score a 7:30 PM reservation using the Rezi app several weeks ago. There's so much parking in this area and they have indoor and outdoor seating. One of the things I really liked is that they seem to have specials three or four days a week if I remember correctly, I think Mondays are half off wine bottles. Tuesdays are 30% off the menu or maybe that was happy hour Monday through Friday and then Wednesdays is half off pizzas and then Thursdays was a sale on cocktails. One of the disappointing things right off the bat was that they took my 7:30 PM reservation and even texted me at 7 PM to make sure I was still coming at 7:30 but nobody ever mentioned that they would close the kitchen promptly at 8 PM, which meant my New Year's Eve dinner was extremely rushed. By 745 I already had to put in my drinks, appetizer, entrées, and desserts. Had I known that they were going to close the kitchen at 8 PM I either would have gone to another place or asked to change my reservation for an earlier time. At 8 PM most of the restaurant was empty, but they still had about four tables, including ours still filled along with two or three folks at the bar. Another thing to note is that they will automatically add 20% gratuity to your bill so please keep that in mind. As far as the food goes, I will say that the pizzas were really good and a small pizza comes with four big slices and a large pizza comes with eight big slices. Personally, I really enjoyed the dough and it was very flavorful, but slightly undercooked. They are known for their Neapolitan style pizzas, and it really shine through. I also got the opportunity to try the lasagna Bolognese, which came sizzling and what seemed to be a mini cast-iron pot. It was evident that this was pre-cooked though and reheated in this pot/pan but what was disappointing was that the bottom layers were sizzling hot but the top layers were room temperature and unfortunately, since the kitchen was closed, I didn't have the opportunity to get that taken care of. I would definitely come back and give them a shot especially because they have weekly deals, but it was truly a disappointment that they took a 730 reservation weeks ago, knowing that they intended on closing at 8 PM. As we were leaving, we got the opportunity to meet one of the restaurant partners and they were so kind; it's evident that this restaurant has regulars and I look forward to my next visit and seeing what it's like when I have more time to eat and enjoy. read more

We keep coming back for more!! Amazing seafood pasta, al dente of course. Great pizzas, thin crust and light sauce and cheese like in Italy, great coffee (try the cold one shaken and served in a martini glass, can't remember the name), great Tiramisu. Everything here is delicious! read more

I thought the pizza was pretty good, but a couple of them were a little more floppy than I would like. We saw four different pizzas to share meatball egg, eggplant, pesto, and prosciutto. My favorite was the prosciutto with the fresh arugula. I also enjoyed the pesto and burrata. We got the roasted broccoli and there's nothing special. Comes with free bread and olive oil didn't really enjoy it, since the bread was hard. We were there for someone's birthday and we got free Panna cotta and an ensemble to sing happy birthday. It was really cute. It was a good vibe to enjoy dinner together with friends. read more

The flavors were there but the execution wasn't the greatest. I don't like my pizza to droop when I pick it up. Maybe if the crust were a little thicker with less grease it wouldn't droop. Sauce was watery but tasted good. The outer crust was perfect. I understand they purposely make it this way, just not my preference I guess. read more

My wife and I heard about the top 50 pizzas in the United States and this was one of them so we decided to give them a try and I'm sorry to say it was such a letdown. We had the pizza delivered and I pulled out the first slice. The pizza crust was undercooked so we put it on our griddle to crisp up the crust which worked. The positive is that the crust tasted absolutely awesome but that's where it ended. The flavors of the sauce were bland and so were the toppings. The pork sausage didn't have any seasoning in it, which can usually carry a bland sauce through. I'm sorry to say that this pizza was an epic disappointment . Maybe we caught them on and off day but it's not worth the trek to experiment again. read more

A Modo Mio is our local pizza/italian place so we go there pretty often. The service and food are generally pretty good, though it can get crowded on some of the more popular weeknights. They have specials I think Monday-Thursday and some of those are more popular than others, leading to larger than average crowds. My wife is a fan of the pizza, but I prefer the pasta dishes. The pizza is ok, but it is uniformly soft and mushy in the center, which I'm not a huge fan of. As a local spot for a reliably good dinner, I certainly recommend it. read more

I had an amazing experience here! The food was delicious, cooked to perfection, and served fresh. What made it even better was the service the staff was super nice read more

The pizza that they make here is real authentic Italian Pizza. Everything from the dough, sauce, and imported ingredients. We ordered their supreme style pizza, and it was clear that they added way more veggies than what you would normally find on an average supreme type of pizza. I've had my fair share experience with authentic style pizzas, so you can take my word for it. We loved the supreme pizza that we had in the restaurant, we ordered a second pepperoni pizza to take home. My kids couldn't even wait to dig into the take home pizza, but I hope it is still as fresh if we re-heat it for tomorrow. We will see if the pizza even lasts that long in the fridge! The service was genuine and very friendly, and we all look forward to returning to ths restaurant soon. read more

The pizza here is so tasty! We got a pizza that was half Arlington, and half Casertana, both great options! The food came out pretty promptly. The drinks were also strong in a good way. They give complimentary bread, which was nice to eat since we were all really hungry. Service was very helpful and great! The restaurant is a bit congested but it has the vibe of an old diner, which I liked. Their Happy Hour deals are great too, so would love to come back and try other dishes. read more

I was able to walk in without a reservation with a party of four for a girls dinner. We were graded with a cozy family, friendly environment that had no frills and was low-key but still a little upscale. They have a nice outdoor patio as well and plenty of parking. The food is really authentic and feels like you are in Italy. The pizzas, especially feature amazing mozzarella Cheese and fresh tomatoes. I highly recommend the pesto burrata pizza. It was very unique and tasty. read more

Nice Italian neighborhood restaurant. Staff were friendly and informative convenient location. I have to say I was a little surprised and disappointed that two large pizzas enough to serve. Four people was $80. When I took the boxes of pizza out the door for takeout it was very light. I was shocked. I just paid $80 for two large (small) pizzas. In their defense, it was very tasty especially the crust ! But not $80 worth sorry read more

The secret is to ask for a well done pizza so the crust is not soggy. I'll give them a solid four stars now.

The pizza here was ok, but I was surprised at the expensive cake fee. At other restaurants, I don't have to pay an insane cake fee and they will store the cake, add candles, cut the cake, and provide plates and utensils. Here, they charge way too much just to store the cake. The pizza was nothing special, so the service really soiled my experience. read more

Came here on a Saturday around 7ish with my fellow pizza aficionado. Very nice. The dough is really really thin and soft before it gets airy and a little more dense (and nicely blistered). Sauce is EXCELLENT. I thought the tomato pie (no cheese) was outstanding (but could be further enhanced with a sprinkle of fresh garlic and pecorino). The red Modo Mio(?) with the prosciutto, arugula, olives and ricotta(?) was my favorite. The white porchetta with shrooms was almost equally outstanding. Maybe add sauce and make it red? REALLY really good though. The 4 Cheese was my buddy's fave, and he's as sick in the head (we've traveled for pizza...more than once) for za as I am. Lastly the Margherita. Very good, cheese to sauce skewed way too cheesy (cant believe I typed that) and should've been fresh mozzarella. But still quite a delicious slice. read more

We came in here for a Friday night dinner and made a reservation because at 7PM on a Friday, they were quite busy. The place feels very inviting and like a place that is popular with the community - tons of regulars, people getting takeout, talking to staff, etc. We were sat in the bar area where we had close access to the drinks and the view of the pizza making process. Our waiter I think was also the bartender - we were able to order drinks quickly. The cocktail prices were super fair ($13 for a Cosmo) and Peroni on tap, which my husband loved. We started off with a small caesar and the 2 meatballs - both were super reminiscent of good, home style Italian. The sauce with the meatballs was fantastic and the salad dressing was not too anchovy forward. We then ordered our mains- the lasagna and the Arlington pizza. We wait awhile for our mains - I thought maybe it took a while for the pizzas to bake but we saw groups around us come in, order pizza and pay before we got our entrees. The bartender/waiter came over and apologized, as he had forgotten to put in our entrees. We weren't to perturbed- it was a Friday night after all but was a bummer to wait so long. Only then, after his mistake, did the waiter bring us the free bread that I saw the other waiters bringing to other tables. I'll chalk it up to a one time thing or maybe he was new. Once our mains did come out, they were fantastic. The lasagna was great and the pizza was huge, loaded with so many toppings and the crust itself was fantastic. Definitely something to split or take home leftovers of. We also ordered dessert (the gluten free cake) which was fantastic and not overly sweet. Overall great time minus the snafu with the late food - we thought maybe we would get the dessert for free or something but oh well. Definitely need to come back another time to get more pizza or try their half off pasta night! Felt like a great neighborhood spot! read more

We came here on a Wednesday and it was packed, we could not find parking in the actual lot so we had to park on the street. Luckily we did make a reservation so we had our table ready. The free bread and oil were fresh and great. Wednesdays they have half off pizzas so we got those and I tried the Gnocchi Sorrentina. The pizza was great and the gnocchi was really good sadly I just wish it came with more. We also got the tiramisu and mini cannolis, both were just ok. I would definitely come back on Wednesday and get more pizza or even on Tuesdays where they have half off pasta. read more

Need to report from pizza experience from last night. Fantastic!!! They've recently gotten some international awards about their pizza and ili completely agree! Fantastic, delicious neopolitan pizza! Wednesdays are half-price pizza nights and restaurant was packed (inside and outside). Delicious margarita pizza, chewy crust, sweet tomato sauce and just enough cheese. Pompeii salad and spaghetti were also on point. Crowded, lively atmosphere. Glad too see they've maintained their standards. Still some of my favorite pizza in the area.

A Modo Mio is a lowkey Italian restaurant that is about a mile away from the busier Arlington neighborhoods. My friend and I stopped by on Friday evening for dinner after seeing good reviews. Overall, I'd say our pizza was tastier and more flavorful than our pasta. The pricing is good and fair. The complimentary bread was enjoyable on its own and a slight bonus with the olive oil on the side. GNOCCHI SORRENTINA - 20 The gnocchi was fresh, but not much flavor -- tasted like any other pasta. The tomato sauce was on the bland side and the mozzarella didn't add much flavor to it either. The fresh tomatoes mixed in the sauce were a pleasant surprise. Overall, if you're just looking for carbs to fill you up (which we were that evening), this is a good option. It doesn't taste unhealthy, and it's very homey and fresh. I probably wouldn't get this again in the future, though. MEAT LOVER (PERSONAL) - 19 The dough was a bit too burnt on the crust, but there was plenty of meat (pepperoni, ham and sausage) that were well seasoned and salted to give the pizza more depth. The dough was very chewy and fresh, the mozzarella and tomato sauce were light. Pizza was pretty solid. Both pasta and pizza tasted pretty fresh and not too greasy -- definitely very homemade and mellow, which I enjoyed. I liked that I can leave the restaurant without feeling bloated. read more

This has been rated as one of the best pizza places in the country. The pizza really is delicious as the toppings are fresh and the crust absolutely delicious. Their pasta is also fabulous and maybe better than the pizza. The service and ambiance is fantastic, friendly knowledgeable staff, clean, beautiful pizza oven, family friendly, comfortable seating. Parking on premises. I think the pizza could have a bit more (quantity wise) toppings - that was my only disappointment. read more
