Pretty solid pizza experience, however definitely with some faults. Came in a while ago for some quick pizza, and we loved the look of the restaurant. Great vibes, super clean, and pretty solid service. In terms of food, we loved almost everything except for the vegan pizza. The mushroom pizza was incredible; the sauce on top was so flavorful and not too much to where the pizza was soggy. The margherita pizza was also solid, nice balance of cheese and sauce. The caesar salad we started off with was also flavorful without being too saucy. The vegan pizza when it first came to us was unfortunately undercooked. We had to send it back, but when it did it was a little burnt. We were pretty disappointed with this outcome, because you could tell the flavors would have been great if properly cooked. TLDR; everything was solid except for the vegan. read more

I dropped by with my partner after a soccer game at Audi Stadium. She's gluten-free, and I'm gluten-full. Neither one of us had ever tried a Detroit-style pizza. Let me tell you, it was amazing. She said the gluten-free pizza was the most amazing she's ever had. I tried it as well and I agree. I have no idea what kind of magic they summoned to conjure up a fluffy crispy crust. It was a delicious pizza you could drop the "gluten-free" adjective from and no one would blink an eye. The gluten-full pizza was also amazing. Definitely one of the better pizzas I've had in town. Detroit-style pizza reminds me a little of Roman-style pizza. The crust is thicker and airy, like a focaccia. The bottom is crispy. There's a bit more sauce than other styles. Last but not least, we do have to mention our waiter Hafez, who was very friendly and accommodating. He answered all our questions about the gluten-free crust ingredients with a fantastic attitude and made our days and experience at Emmy Squared that much brighter. read more

My friend did something when she introduced me to this place, because now I'm hooked !! We went one random night after work and I'm so glad I went. I have NEVER had a Caesar salad this good in my LIFE! Idk if it's the way they mix the dressing. Idk, but it's bomb !!! Every place I go to now and get a Caesar salad I'm lowkey judging because nothing has topped this yet! The pizza! OMG! Where has this place been all my life !! The chicken on my pizza could've been a little better but even that didn't mess it up. I made me a chicken pesto pizza and I can't wait for another one ! I ordered the garlic bread from DoorDash once and omg ! So good ! read more

We came to Emmy's for a work lunch. It's a short walk from the DOT, which makes it an ideal lunch spot. There's outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating. It's super cute on the inside - kind of like a greenhouse, with lots of hanging ivy. I've never had Emmy's before as I don't live in the area but I believe they are a local chain. We did the DIY pizza and got a salad. The pizzas at Emmy's is a bit of a thicker crust. Reminds me of Detroit style. Came out at good time. Servers made sure to bring the salad later and then midway through the salad, the pizza came out. One pizza was good enough for our group of three. The pizza was delicious and the cheese was of good quality, in that in it's melted state, it was stringy and don't break apart. Glad that I got to try Emmy's and the staff was super nice. read more

This was a great restaurant with excellent pizza and courteous service! Brought the entire family with elderly parents and kid and we were tucked away in a nice and quieter part of the restaurant. Aaronette was our server and she was very attentive to our needs and made our experience extra special. We would come to this restaurant again! read more

I had the Detroit-style pizza and it did not disappoint here, generally speaking. It's hard to find a good Detroit-style pizza in D.C. and here they make it kind of a specialty item where you have to pay more for such style instead of presenting it as a standard (unfortunately). The ingredients were top-notch - and the pizza was customized to have pepperoni, mushroom, and burrata cheese on top of the classic red sauce. So I have two suggestions for management to see improvement: 1. The pepperoni needed to be more crispy 2. Don't serve the burrata cold on top of a hot pizza. Serve it room-temperature at least, if you're not wanting to have it heated. Getting this right would earn the place a perfect 5 stars. Other than that, the flavors were on point, and I'd be happy to return for some good Detroit-style. read more

There seems to be an influx of Detroit style pizza places in DC & Navy yard, but I must say, Emmy Squared is a welcome addition. I've done both dine in and takeout, and have enjoyed both of my experiences. The drinks are solid, and the cheesy garlic sticks are a good, tasty option to split as a starter. My absolute favorite pizza here is the Roni Supreme. The pepperoni is nice and thick, and the Calabrian chili peppers are a nice addition that add a sweet and spicy kick to the pie. Service was a bit slow the time that I dined in, but otherwise, this is a great place to try for those times when you may be craving a really good pizza. read more

I first saw this in restaurant on Tiktok and it took a while for me to actually go. The service was slow even though the restaurant was quite empty. We ordered fries that were actually really delicious. The pizza was more doughy than I expected but still good. My friend did not like her pizza and returned it to the kitchen but mine was filling and pretty good! I did enjoy sitting outside the ambience and setting was nice as we were able to sit outside. read more

We stopped in for dinner after seeing the Detroit-style pizza while walking by. Everyone was super friendly! Spring It On!: Great summer cocktail - fragrant and refreshing but the flavors were very muted. Classic Pizza: Reminded us of elevated Pizza Hut (in the best way possible). The inside was doughy and the crust was crispy. Loved the cheese pull! Only complaint is that the sauce was a little too salty. read more

Stopped into Emmy at the Navy yard for a quick bite to eat. I had the Crispy Chicken Crunchers that come with sriracha Crystal glaze, scallion, and ranch. Very good app. Good crunch on the chicken. A nice amount of spice and the ranch provided a nice cool dipping sauce. I've also been to the Shaw location and had the burger and cheese sticks and they were also AMAZING. read more

So far, I think Emmy Squared is a good addition to Navy Yard. I don't eat a lot of pizza these days, as I try to limit my gluten and dairy intake but when I do I expect it to be amazing. Emmy Squared was amazing. The staff were also great and were the icing on the cake. I arrived one day at 4:00, which is listed as their opening time online but when I arrived I was informed that there was some type of mix-up and that they actually don't open until 5:00pm. They were apologetic and asked me to come back in an hour. I didn't really want to but I actually had my heart set on pizza. When I arrived back an hour later, the managers were again very apologetic and took my to-go order. I forgot the assistant manager's name but he was great. I got the Colony Squared (red sauce, pepperoni, jalapeños, and honey) and they threw in an order of the Zeppole (fried dough dusted with cinnamon and sugar, served with a cream cheese dipping sauce). I didn't order a drink since I really wanted to put on my fat pants and eat my pizza at home but I was pleasantly surprised to see that cocktails are only priced at $10, though I suspect this is only an opening price as they test out the cocktail menu. When I was first handed my pizza I thought it looked a little small but as I walked with it down the street I realized that the pizza was actually very dense and heavy. It tasted even better. The crust was thick, soft, and slightly crunchy on the outside. The sauce was also flavorful and plentiful. The cheese was fine, really nothing special, though there could have been a little more. There also could have been a few more pepperonis. There were a lot of jalapeños and they certainly didn't lack any heat. The honey was pretty scarce though, there could have been a little more but it did add a nice contrast to the jalapeños. I would order this again. The zeppoles were fantastic. Fried cinnamony sugary dough balls. The cream cheese dipping sauce it came with was so good. It was thick and not overly sweet like some cream cheese sauces tend to be. I do think these would taste good with another sauce as well though, maybe dulce de leche or nutella. I'd definitely order it again. read more

To the person whose review said "Have you ever wondered what it would be like if time stood still? ... You can experience that here at Emmy Squared!" Your review is 100% correct. It took the sever 15 minutes to bring us water, then another 15 minutes to order a hamburger and chicken sandwich, and then it took an hour to get the order. What it is sad is that we live in the same building as Emmy Squared. I have given Emmy Squared at least five chances to see if they have changed and they have not. It's the same bad service as the last four times. I have learned my lesson, and I will encourage others in my building not to make the same mistake as I have. read more

I always want to start with the good first! Have heard so many great things about Emmy Squared so when my supervisor decided to treat, I was excited. Arrived about 5:00 p.m. for our reservation but we weren't on the books. I assume the lady that we spoke to was the manager and she informed us that she closed her books at 2 pm but we definitely could sit at the bar...that's my favorite place to sit so I wasn't upset at all! The chicken tenders were BOMB! We got ours with all the sauces...mumbo sauce, and the other two sauces. Then we ordered the burger and a pizza...the one with the pepperoni, pickles jalapeños, and honey. The pizza was good but I wanted it a little crispier. The burger was AMAZING with all of the ooey goodness a great burger has!!! I will definitely visit again but I won't sit at the bar. The bartender wasn't friendly, not even nice and it dampened the vibe for my first visit. Here is a pic of my pizza!!! read more

While Emmy squared pizza is one of my fav pizza chains in DC, for some reason this location just isn't as good as the Shaw location. I've only ordered takeout though, so I can't speak to the dine in experience. The Nashville hot chicken and vodka pizzas are my go to, and while the vodka pizza was fine, the Nashville hot chicken didn't live up to my expectations. The sauce wasn't as flavorful and the chicken had a different taste, though at least not like the chicken was bad. The cheese had also congealed and hardened, so I wasn't able to get a nice cheese pull (and I don't live so far away that it would've hardened that quickly). The crust was more burnt too, but that was a small concern compared to the rest. I still love Emmy squared but this location wasn't it for me. I'll probably just repress my pizza cravings on days the Shaw location is closed instead of attempting to satisfy my cravings in navy yard. read more

My experience was great here at Emmy's. Kadesha was an excellent bar tender, always checking and making sure I was good. The food here is GREA! read more

I had high hopes but meh... servers were friendly but that's where it ended. We never got silverware even after asking. I ended up taking it off another table. My girlfriend ordered a chicken sandwich and fries. The plate was hot however the chicken in the sandwich was ice cold and had been sitting out for a while. The fries arrived on a try and were not cooked all the way through. When she pulled a clump of them apart the potato was not cooked. I don't mean the inside of the fry, I mean the outside of the waffle fry wasn't even close to being finished. Unfortunately that was the high part of the meal. We ate one slice of the pizza and left the remainder on the table. This wasn't even worth a midnight snack or cold pizza for breakfast. The pizza definitely wasn't fresh, the sauce was so watery it seemed like they were running out and added water to get through the day. The table next to us that got their food just as we were leaving and it looked really good. Maybe our cook was just having an off moment. read more

Great food great company. The Asian Pickled mushrooms were delicious but I had very few mushrooms. It was full of cucumbers.

i accidentally reviewed the Alexandria location 9 days ago praising Simona the bartender for the excellent service she gave me when I stopped in on a friday afternoon. i didn't notice until today when i give an updated review on the service i received tonight when I stopped in for dinner. because of the great service i've received in the past I immediately went to the bar. As I got to the bar, the server, David walked away to help some customers with takeout, so I then decided it might be quicker to just to get a pie to go.. but then when I was next in line to order, David left that desk to comp a woman a drink and left me standing to never come back (he just hung back at the bar) he continued to ignore me when I return to pick up my pie.. Based on his service alone I would have given Emmy's a lower rating but between Simona and Tiffany they brought up the average. read more

It is great Emmy Squared has added to their portfolio with a Navy Yard location in the Nationals ballpark/Captiol Riverfront area, as I have been a repeat customer at their Shaw location. They have only been opened a week in this new location and I am impressed already with their operations, not to mention their delicious food. Upon on our arrival, we were promptly greeted and given a heads up there would be a wait. They were able to seat us within the time estimated and the service throughout our meal was consistent without any long gaps of time before someone would stop by to check in on us or see if anything else was needed. For drink choices, the menu has plenty of custom drinks, beer, and other beverages. As for the food, the pizza is fantastic! They have a variety of pre-selected topped pizzas you can choose from or you build your own. The Chopped Cheese Waffle Fries are a great shareable with the table as well as the Cheesy Garlic Sticks. We didn't order the Cheesy Garlic Sticks this go around since we wanted to try some different items, but I have had at the Shaw location and they are delicious. Lastly, the burger and sandwich options do not take a back seat to the pizza. The Chicken Parm Sandwich is huge with two large patties, so brace yourself to take some leftovers dependent on what other items you may order. Like the restaurant in Shaw, I will be a frequent customer here. read more
