This Neapolitan-style pizzeria is a Washington favorite with its mouthwatering toppings, lovely appetizers and first-class charcuterie.

Absolutely delicious pizza. Yummy crust with great fresh cheese. It is definitely more of simple fare, so don't come for dressed up pizza. It offers pizza with simple, delicious ingredients. Worth the wait for a table.
I've never had anything short of a delicious, energetic-smile-inducing meal at 2 Amys. Pizzas, ripienos, and by the way, the homemade ice cream is a dream.
This place sucks! Seriously! The pizza is soggy, the deviled eggs are beyond horrific, and the wait staff are rude and b**tchy. $9 for a rail cocktail? Are you serious? I will NOT be wasting my money here again! How they stay in business is beyond me -- oh wait, they are located in affluent yuppy-ville so i guess folks don't mind paying $9 for a drink and $12.95 for their kids' pizza. 2Amy's pizza can fall off the DC map as far as I am concerned! The Domino's & Pizza Hut up the street from ya is a wayyyyy better deal! I do NOT recommend this place in any way!!!! Spend your moneyt at California Pizza Kitchen or somehwhere like that before going to this mess of a pizza joint. High end ingredients my ass :( BOOOOOOO and thumbs down to you!
I visited 2 Amys on a Wednesday evening for dinner with a group of six ladies. While we waited for a table, I made eye contact with a female bartender several times, and eventually asked politely if I could order some wine when she got a chance. She nodded and continued to ignore us. She busied herself with a few checks and waited on several male customers nearby who arrived after us. After no less than 15 awkward minutes, no joke, a male bartender poured us some wine. It was one of the more strange and ridiculous service experiences I've ever had. I still really like 2 Amys' food, although they should stop acting like they're God's gift to pizza and start taking reservations and offering good service, already.
2Amy's USED to be the best pizza in town, but has very much lost that claim these days. I'm certain that any food critics who returned now would lower their previous ratings by a lot. The pizzas routinely arrive with limp looking toppings, a soggy center, and chewy crusts that take up more real estate than the sauce. Maybe their other menu items have some allure which makes it worth a trip, but if you want great pizza head to Sorriso, Vace (take-out), or Paradiso. And I second the motion of many other reviewers that this place is extremely noisy - it's like being screamed at during dinner.
The pizza is super, super delicious but the staff is also super, super rude and unhelpful. Management really needs to get some control on that because as good as the pizza is I will think twice before I decide to go there again.
Expensive pizza. WP critic said kid friendly. Does he have kids? My kid got hit by waiters twice. Closely set tables with corners sticking out. If you want pizza with kids, go to a regular chain with decently priced pizza and place for kids to move. Not value for money here for families with kids.
2 Amys is my favorite restaurant in DC, period. If you only order pizza, you're sort of missing the point. Make sure you order several small plates off the list of specials specials list - 4 small plates and one pizza is plenty of food for two people. We typically ignore the regular menu entirely and order off the daily specials - which is a long list. Great, and unusual, beer selection, as well as good wine. Go on the later side - after 8pm on weekdays, or after 9pm on weekends - to avoid the kids and the enormous crowds. I prefer the first floor, the bar area, or outside, but if you sit on the second floor, it's much quieter.
The pizza is good. Thin, crispy crust, good quality ingredients. It's not as good as Piola, in Roslyn, but it's good. The service, however, is NOT good. Staff is snappy and not helpful. It seemed like they were hating every moment of being there. That may have only been the case on the day that I was there, but I will not be returning anytime soon because of that. It would be great if they delivered, so you can get good pizza without having to deal with the service.
I have been here several times just to figure out what makes people think this pizza is so good and I give up. It's awful. It's soggy and too thin. I even sent some out of town friends there and they felt the same. Let's not forget the romper room atmosphere. I have been to Italy several times and never had pizza like this. Incredibly overrated! Go to Vace's instead.
If the noise is keeping you from 2 Amy's, ask to sit upstairs. The same stellar food in a more intimate setting.
Dude, it's so loud it's hard to hear yourself think. But they do have the best pizza and great small dishes. And their ice cream is probably the best in the world.
The pizza is good, although lately you've had to order it well done, or you get a pizza that is soggy in the middle. The wine list is nice. But the room is crowded and noisy, and the screaming children running around loose make it just unbearable.
