I prefer Pupatella - also in Arlington.

One is coming soon to West Springfield!!!

Pupatella's is very wet. Delicious but wet.

Idk what wet means here but I’m willing to find out

Sounds perfect then. I like a drippy, oily, floppy NYC style slice that isn't stiff and dry like cardboard.

No, it's wet like soupy in the middle. The crust is very thin and the sauce/cheese is thin too, so it's messy. Taste great though!

Franklin’s in Hyattsville does have good pizza though. Their mushroom truffle pizza is divine.

Virgnia:
Pupatella for Neopolitan (we loved Paradiso in Old Town but they closed)
Wiseguy for more of a NY style

But I can make that at home at not pay $18 for a pie that feeds one hungry person. I personally do not even think of anything in this area as pizza. Most of it is characterized by too thick crust and gobs of cheese and ketchup style sauce to make up for the poor quality ingredients.

Tony's in Fairfax is real Brooklyn pizza.

Tony’s is not that good, come on. Pomodoro’s was better but they closed.

In MD, we go to Frankly in Kensington (Arugula, a white pizza, is especially good). Or DaMarco (try Salame) in Bethesda.

In DC, our go-tos are 2Amy’s (Cleveland Park near the Cathedral) and Piccolina (CityCenter).

These are all places where you can get a good salad or appetizer and a nice dessert, if you are so inclined.

Crust in Virginia. Much better than Italian Store/ 2 Amy’s. Pupatella is second.

I am also from NYC. The best NY style pizza I have found in this area is from Andy's or Slice Joint, two places that haven't yet been mentioned. I also like Wiseguys, but it's not quite as NY style (a little thicker) but still good.

Agree with these selections! Frankly and DaMarco are our faves.

Faccia Luna in Old Town is phenomenal.
