"In recent years, the tastiness of the once-excellent Emmy burger has wavered. What has never changed are the slightly spicy, crisp-ridged waffle fries. We love them straight up, but when we’re feeling frisky we get them Zia style—topped with hatch chili pimento cheese, scallions, bacon, and a tangy housemade ranch. Brussels sprouts salad and the Colony pie" - alison kessler
"Queen Village’s Emmy Squared is mostly known for its pizza. But they also make a great salad full of brussels sprouts, cashews, pickled red onions, and dried cherries. So it’s an ideal counterpart to a slice dripping with mozzarella. You could always add crispy or grilled chicken to the mix, but the salad stands on its own just fine." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Parenthood means a lot of pizza. Unfortunately, it usually means a lot of bad pizza—but it doesn’t have to. Head to Emmy Squared in Queen Village for crispy Detroit-style pizza (we’re especially into the margherita with piles of creamy burrata, but you can’t go wrong here). They also make a solid burger (Le Big Matt), plus waffle fries, mozz sticks, and crispy chicken bites for those with a less, ahem, sophisticated palate. Head up to the rooftop when it’s nice out and then walk a few blocks to John's Water Ice for dessert after dinner." - alison kessler
"Queen Village’s Emmy Squared has a few things going for it: they serve fantastic Detroit-style pan pizza and a rooftop where you can eat a crackly-edged slice while sipping on a frozen cocktail or two. Unlike some other rooftop spots, the tables here are first come, first serve. So if you come for weekend brunch filled with pitchers of Bloody Mary's and a few slices of The Hangover pie topped with creamy smoked gouda, fried eggs, and bacon, prepare to come early to grab a seat. Outside of pizza, they have small plates like eggplant parm, salads, and a Nashville hot katsu sandwich that’s drenched in white ‘bama sauce." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Emmy Squared is one of the best places for pizza in Queen Village. They focus on crispy Detroit-style pan pizza, with options like a margarita with piles of creamy burrata, and The Angel, topped with a truffle-y mushroom cream, ricotta, and mushrooms. And while the neighborhood loves the thick and pillowy crust, you can, too—the gluten-free version has the same level of quality as the original. If you’re looking for GF pizza that doesn’t taste like a stale wafer, Emmy Squared should be at the top of your list." - candis mclean
