"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
"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
"Deviled eggs might seem out of place at a pizza joint but 2 Amy’s mustardy version is one of the most popular around. Served alongside a green sauce made with parsley, anchovies, and pickles on the side ($10 for five), they’ve been on the menu since the restaurant opened in Cleveland Park in 2001." - Tierney Plumb
"Head up Cathedral Heights to sample the hit pizza spot’s insalata. Referred to as “vaguely Caesar salad,” the order includes little gem lettuce with wedges of jammy boiled egg and miniature homemade croutons. Lemony anchovy dressing delivery a citrusy finish ($11.25)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
