"The national franchise began in Brooklyn almost a decade ago and now features two dozen locations throughout New York, Nashville, Philadelphia, Louisville, and the D.C. area. The menu offers more than a dozen signature pizzas, including the aptly-named MVP pizza (featuring vodka sauce made in-house, red sauce and pesto, and a sesame seed crust) and its cousin, the VIP pizza (which adds pepperoni and Calabrian chiles to the mix)." - Hannah Yasharoff
"In 2019, Emmy Squared opened its doors, aiming to bring Detroit-style pizza to Philly. Located on 5th Street, a short walk from South Street, its menu is packed full of artisan pizzas, shareable salads, and small plates. Don’t miss out on the Big Ang pizza — an effortless combo of vodka sauce, ricotta, Italian sausage, and banana peppers." - George Banks-Weston
"This hip, Detroit-style pizzeria out of Brooklyn offers a cute kids’ section full of pizza sticks, chicken strips, and Impossible meatballs alongside carrot sticks and a small drink ($8). Its original D.C. location in Shaw is joined by newer Navy Yard and Alexandria outposts." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"Pops craving pizza? Emmy Squared has the remedy. In collaboration with celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson, customers can try The Streetbird, a twist on its traditional Detroit-style pizza invoking Samuelsson’s take on hot and spicy fried chicken at his Streetbird eatery. The Detroit-style pie is topped with julienned collard greens, Calabrian chili, crispy chicken, pecorino cheese and Marcus’ signature Streetbird honey. Order it from Wednesday, June 15 all the way through mid-July at all area locations (Shaw, Old Town, and Navy Yard)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"From now until May 22, Emmy Squared Pizza menus will feature La Mexicana, a Detroit-style pizza topped with chorizo, ground beef, jalapeños, and sliced red onions, garnished with a drizzle of tomatillo sauce. In collaboration with country singer Thomas Rhett’s tequila brand Dos Primos, Emmy Squared is also pouring up a passion fruit margarita made with the spirit." - Vinciane Ngomsi
