    These guys do pinsa, a Roman style flatbread, with a mixed flour fermented dough. This produces a thin and airy crust. The toppings are what you would typically see for pizza. I really liked the pepperona with smoked fontina cheese. Service was good. Food and wine prices reasonable for DC.

    We went here for Valentine's dinner and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The food was wonderful, the environment was busy but not overwhelming loud. It had a very "family" feel to it. Every aspect of the meal was delicious. Would happily return again and try other pizza options or even the pasta!

    I've never had pinsa-style pizza before so I knew I had check out Via Roma! Long story short, we enjoyed the pizza. Got the namesake, Via Roma (smoked mozzarella, artichokes, roasted peppers, taggiasca olives, pesto, stracciatella cheese), plus Zucca (smoked mozzarella, butternut squash, spicy soppressata, arugula, pecorino cheese. I absolutely loved the base of the Zucca with the subtle sweetness of the squash, and I really appreciated all the toppings and creamy stracciatella of the Via Roma. The dough itself was great: fluffy inside and crunchy outside. We also got the Rigatoni Alla Norma (mezze maniche pasta, tomato sauce, fried eggplant, salty ricotta cheese), which unfortunately was a miss. The pasta was perfectly al dente, but the sauce was way too salty and the eggplant was tough? Can't say I've ever experienced that before. Service was friendly, but it did take some time to get the dishes. Ambiance is nice, super cozy and elegant. 8/10 would recommend, but it would be a 10/10 were it not for the pasta.

    I had a terrible experience here at Via Roma. I came in as a party of 4 and was told that it was a 20 minute wait. Not an issue. But a party of three came in and they were immediately seated at the bar. Just before we were seated, we were told there was less than a handful left for pizza. We asked them to check how many pizzas were left and the party that came in after us had already ordered a pizza so there was three pizza left. We ordered the remaining pizzas but another server told us that there were actually two pizzas left. We have been asking for help to order food. Our server hasn't been present and we tried asking someone else to order but we couldn't. After a while, we flagged down the owner/manager to get the order in. We had to order different items and it was good food, but isn't worth the trouble we've already been through. We also tried looking for our server as we wanted to order dessert. She has been either close to the kitchen or bar talking to the bar staff. At this point, we talked to every other server but our own. Once we tried to get in the order for dessert, we were told the last pieces of desserts we ordered were still partially frozen and unable to serve. The experience has been very disappointing from start to finish.

    Heard good things about this newer pizza place and really wanted to try it out! It has indoor and covered outdoor seating. Simply decorated, but very nice! They even have art work for sale on the wall heading towards the bathrooms. My friend and I ordered a glass of wine. My friend had a Pinot Grigio and I tried the orange wine which was organic. I enjoyed it, though I think it would make a fabulous base for a sangria! We ordered the Verde salad which was very tasty with fresh apples! We should have ordered two of them! Our waiter stated the pizzas were personal size, so we got two: margarita and the via roma. I guess if you're super hungry they'd be personal sized but we thought they were big and definitely could have split one. We loved the crust. It's thinner and airy. I liked the sauce of the margarita, but not out of this world. The pizzas didn't impress us, lacked complex flavors, very one dimensional in taste. I don't think anything was seasoned. Wished the Via Roma had more pesto on it or it was base sauce. They gave us a box for all of our leftovers. The box is really cool-- the artwork is pretty and the box can go in the oven! Glad I tried this place out, maybe I'll come back to try out dessert!

    Really great pizza! Been wanting to try a pinsere style pizza and when I saw this place had some I had to order. I got the special La Matilde - smoked mozzarella, shiitake mushrooms, prosciutto, frisée and hot honey! Was delicious!!

    I'd give 6 stars if I could. Via Roma served the best Italian food I've had since I was a kid eating in my family's Italian restaurant. They serve authentic Italian food (imported from Italy) and offer a great wine selection. We started with the 4-cheese gnocchi with bacon and walnuts, which was delicious. For our main, we were tempted by the homemade pasta selection, but we decided to go with pizza. We ordered one margherita pizza and one spicy Italian sausage pizza, both amazing. The waiter was knowledgeable and took the time to inform the chef about our food allergies. The pizza was so good, we ordered two more and took them to go for later. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for great tasting authentic Italian food!

    Within walking distance from the zoo. A solid Italian restaurant. The food came out quick. The salad was refreshing and a bit unique with the flavors. The Margherita flatbread was perfect to share.

    The generosity here is crazy. You can feel the positive energy in the air. They have the best pizza I've ever eaten. They use to be in Camp Springs Md. the crust is dam good too. I don't get heartburn or BG 's when I eat their pizza. They have Prosecco on tap and a butter to die for. The owners are awesome - very hospitable. Parking is a challenge but the train is in walking distance. This place is definitely a gem and I'm jealous that Dc has them now. FYI- They do have a 5% service charge added to all bills, that is printed on the bottom of the menu, which I've posted.

He knows I love pizza and knows my favorites, and he said I would enjoy the spot. I went in with no expectations and I was greeted by such a welcoming little spot. They were playing some great jams and showing 2000s music videos on the TV. Was this place made for millennials? My friend and I sat at the bar... There were several tables we could have done as well. Further in, there was a register and a digital menu showing the prices of the spices and the combos. We were also handed menus -- one food menu and one drink menu. It turns out they have a lot more than just pizza! And they do cocktails, beer, wine, canned cocktails, sodas... It's a lot! I decided to do a slice of classic cheese and mumbo magic with their house favorite frozen margarita. The cheese, the crust, the sauce... It's $5 a slice, and in my opinion, totally worth it! While the cheese slice was great, the mumbo magic was even better. Each bite was bursting with flavor and it didn't even need red pepper flakes! This is saying a lot, but I think I like this pizza better than Wiseguy! Great frozen margarita too, but it was REALLY really cold. I saw the menu that they have froyo too, which is cool. Usually just the plain tart and a flavor of the day. I went over to the machine to inquire about what the flavor that they was, but they didn't have one that day. But the tart one? It was so delicious! When I go out I never just have the plain flavor, but it really tasted so good. Next time, I'd be excited to try some of the toppings with it It appears to be newer, and I really hope this spot does well. And there is so much more pizza to try!

Gave us warm tap water when it's 90+ degrees out but brought out ice when we asked. Other tables were seated and ordered after us and served food before us. Not sure if they just forgot to put in our order or we were struck with bad luck. Basic things you'd expect like extra napkins, a serving spatula for the pizza, and cheese/pepper flakes to be brought before or with the pizza weren't done. The pizza took 35 minutes to come out and certainly wasn't worth the wait. The pizza was plain, unflavorful, floppy as heck, and had a soup-like liquidy consistency, immediately falling apart. The crust was chewy and unappealing. The pizza wasn't worth $33. Gimme a break. The manager walked by 40 times and didn't stop by once to check on us but seemed to check on every other table. I wouldn't come back.

It's classic New York-style with a thin crust that has the perfect balance of crispness underneath and just enough chew in every bite. They offer a great variety of toppings, and I appreciate that you can order either by the slice or as a whole pie depending on how hungry you're feeling. Now, let's address the service. It was definitely on the snarky side, bordering on rude. Under most circumstances that would knock a star off for me, but honestly... that's part of the authentic pizzeria experience. Having spent plenty of time in the city, I almost would've questioned the legitimacy if everyone had been overly cheerful. The staff wasn't warm and fuzzy, but they kept the line moving and the pizza coming, which is really what everyone was there for. If you're looking for a cozy, leisurely dining experience, this probably isn't your place. If you're looking for an excellent New York-style slice with a beautifully crisp crust that lives up to its reputation, Andy's absolutely delivers. I'll happily brave the crowds for another slice.

When we first walked in, the cashier immediately apologized for the long wait times, thanked everyone for their patience, and let us know they were incredibly short staffed with only two people working. Because the tiny interior was already packed, we decided to leave and do some sightseeing first. However, seeing how good the pizza looked we knew we had to come back later that afternoon. There's no negative details in my review. Nothing but positive things and a small recommendation. 1. Staff and Service I really appreciated the cashier's honesty about running behind right off the bat. That allowed us to make an informed choice rather than get frustrated by a long wait. More businesses could learn from this! 2. Restaurant's Layout The inside is a bit tight and busy, but it's located in a smaller older building, so they have no other options. Since they can't expand the inside adding an outdoor pub height counter for eating, a bench or some seating out front would be a great way to give waiting patrons a place to sit. Also a place to eat. 3. The Pizza -The Veggie Pizza: My nephew and I both ordered this, and the slices were massive you'll see in my pics! They were honestly the largest slices I have ever seen! I love pizza and have eaten it in New York and Chicago, and my slice here held its own. It was loaded with a huge variety of vegetables. I requested to put mine through the oven twice to get the veggies warm and cooked because I noticed my nephew's slice looked like a warm salad on crust. So happy I did because it was delicious! The jalapeños were intensely spicy which is on me, since I'm a bit of a lightweight with spice! -The Meat Options: My son got the pepperoni and thought it was really good, and my husband got a supreme slice which he also said was good . 4. Price and pizza size- they're more expensive than a typical slice, but once you see those big ole slices in my pics you'll understand why. They can't even fit on a plate. They had to serve them to you in an actual pizza box! After reading my long review you're trying to find out if I would go back huh? Absolutely! If I ever in the area or stay at the Hilton DC again, I would definitely walk right on over and get a slice. You can feed a family of three on one slice! Adult and two small children!

Definitely, more Italian American than traditional Italian. We wrapped up the dinner with a cannoli brownie. A fun take on the classic Italian dessert. Overall, a delicious meal! We will be back for pizza FOR SURE.
