Emmy Squared in DC offers a cozy vibe and delicious Detroit-style pizza, featuring unique toppings and a fun kids’ menu, perfect for casual dining or takeout perks.
"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
"This relatively new addition to D.C. is known for its Detroit-style pizza, but it also has fun with its wedge salad. Described as a huge hot chicken wedge, the $18 salad combines the Nashville favorite with Alabama white sauce, chopped pickles, bleu cheese, olives, tomato and ranch dressing (it’s a $3 charge to add bacon)." - Missy Frederick
"Detroit pies showed in D.C. last year at Red Light on 14th Street NW. Now customers can find it at Emmy Squared or Ivy and Coney in Shaw." - Tierney Plumb
