Faccia Luna in Old Town is phenomenal.

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.


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

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.

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

Tony's in Fairfax is real Brooklyn pizza.


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


This!

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

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!
