Two Amys

[Anonymous]

We're in a Menomale and Comet rotation right now. We also do Pete's, Moroni's or Bacchio's when we're feeling more American. If I have a crowd of kids to feed and it is convenient I'll grab Ledo's, but that is pretty infrequent. I would go to 2 Amy's if it were in walking distance, but I really wouldn't do anything else to go there.

2 Amy's is good for Italian-style pizza. I used to like Sette Osteria a lot but it isn't quite as good as it used to be. I prefer Italian-style pizza and don't really care for the crust of Pete's. It is NOTHING like John's of Bleeker so I don't get everyone comparing it to NY style.

I also live close to 2 amys and have only been once - was seriously underwhelmed.

Pete's is gross. It's a little above Pap Johns, frat food.

I wish I could eat there all the time.

+1,
Love, a Roman

I've been twice. Soggy middle and burnt edges. That's not the Rome I know.

It used to be a lot better than it is now -- now sometimes it is soupy or uncooked in the middle. I go for the Arancini and the arugula salad. There is definitely better pizza to be had in the city.

Pete's Apizza is NOT one of them. I think their pizza is gross. Try getting takeout from Vace in Bethesda or Cleveland Park.

PP here arancini=suppli

Like Two Amys although I do sometimes think the pizza is a little soggy. I like Comet pizza better (although I always have to wait there) but I like the other stuff on two amy's menus...like the olives. Didn't love the Pete's pizza. Fine but sort of ordinary...
Always go to Two Amy's really early or on off hours...

Pizzeria DaMarco in Bethesda is the closest I've come in the DC area to finding real Italian style pizza. Love it.

Oh, I forgot about Vace! I need to add that back into the rotation.

Italian here also. i think it is cultural. I like 2 Amys because it is the closet to Italian pizza. I can care less about children running around, too used to it it doesn't really bother me, I am there to eat.
Someone above mentioned Sette Osteria, i like that place also. Italian owner.

OK, to the two other PPs who know their Italian pizza ... burnt on the edges & soggy in the middle ... that's kinda how it's done, no?

Where is Sette Osteria? And, is the arrancini=suppli thing a regional name difference? I only knew them as suppli until I was at 2 Amys.

Dupont Circle. I used to live for their pizza with arugula. I love me some rocket!
