Bustling wood-oven pizzeria serving innovative Neapolitan pies
"Many chefs frequent 2 Amys on their days off, endorsing an unpretentious family restaurant that remains the standard for Neapolitan pizza in the District. The visibly scorched, wood-fired pies have attracted obsessives for 20 years. During the pandemic, 2 Amys owner Peter Pastan installed a second pizza oven in the main dining room to fuel a transition to takeout. But the beloved neighborhood spot near the National Cathedral has welcomed regulars back on-site with indoor and patio dining (walk-ins only). Takeout is still available here. Fun fact: Pastan’s son, Oliver, recently opened an Italian place in Mt. Pleasant called Bar del Monte that also serves wood-fired pizza." - Tierney Plumb
"A longtime standard-bearer for Neapolitan pizza in the District, 2 Amys has “kid-friendly” down to a science. In addition to the pies and a rotating menu of excellent Italian small plates, the restaurant offers crayons and paper to ward away boredom. Its well-known pizzas promise to please hungry kids and parents alike. Walk-ins only; place pickup orders here." - Emily Venezky
"Named among prominent Neapolitan pizza destinations in the city, representing the local Neapolitan renaissance." - Eater Staff
"Cleveland Park’s fan favorite amongst diners and chefs alike is considered D.C.’s standard-bearer for traditional Neapolitan pizza. A smart decision to add takeout during the pandemic proved to be so popular, it’s here to stay. Anchovy lovers will be very happy here. Finish off meals with sweet cannoli. Dine-in or place pickup orders online." - Tierney Plumb
"This Cathedral Heights pizzeria has been making the most reliable Neapolitan-style pies in the city for more than 20 years. Their 12 pies—including your classic margherita with mozzarella dripping off or the Pozzouli with sausage and peppers—all get a nice char from the wood-fire oven. These days, you can only order pies on evenings or weekends. While we’ll forever miss weekday lunches here, the pizzas still go down easy with a bottle of wine and some friends, or maybe just your screaming kids in tow." - tristiana hinton, allison robicelli, omnia saed
