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.

Upon our arrival in DC, my family and I immediately headed to lunch. Since we drove to DC and needed to charge our car, my husband expressed his craving for pizza. A quick Google search led us to 2 Amy's, just a 4-minute walk from the charging station. What a exciting discovery it turned out to be! Upon entering the restaurant, the bustling atmosphere instantly transported us to an authentic Italian pizza spot in Italy. The lively ambiance, with employees skillfully crafting pizzas in full view, added to the charm. Despite the crowded indoor seating, we opted for the patio, which although pleasant, was a bit warm. While they had fans, I recommend more powerful ones for hotter days, though it wasn't uncomfortable enough to move inside. Our server, whose name escapes me, was knowledgeable about the menu and recommended 2 pizzas since there were three of us in our group. Along with a not-so-great coke (it was a little flat) and water, the delicious pizza arrived promptly. The unique seasoning of the pizza, with a delightful hint of spiciness that I particularly enjoyed, stood out. I also appreciated the no-tip policy of the restaurant, although contributions to their virtual tip jar are welcomed at https://2amyspizza.com/checkout/donate?donatePageId=5eea673eb4aede41d0ccf03a. The well-maintained and spotlessly clean bathroom reflected the overall high standards of the bustling and popular restaurant. My only regret was not indulging in a glass of wine during our visit.

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 :-) .

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.

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.

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.
