Amazing service and quality of food. I usually don’t like pizza but here it’s a cozy and comforting meal. Aniyah our waitress was great and gave us many drink refills on the house with permission. Everyone here is super nice and welcoming even with no reservations. Great pizza joint and more.
Amazing Pizza, Amazing Service, Amazing Everything:
I had the pleasure of being served by Havana and she gave us amazing food recommendations along with drinks, compliments, and short conversation. The only way I could describe the energy inside the place is homey. I felt completely at peace waiting for my meal and it all came out coursed perfectly and timely.
I recently visited Emmy Squared Pizza and was blown away by the quality of the food and the service. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, and the toppings were fresh and tasty.
The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and attentive. They made sure that our food was served quickly and that we had everything we needed. My bill came out to around $60 after tip.
Overall, I highly recommend Emmy Squared Pizza to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. It's definitely worth a visit, and I can't wait to go back.
We decided (party of 4) to give this place a try (based solely on reviews) for an early dinner leading up to a concert at a nearby venue. We arrived a little early and were seated right away (Friday afternoon around 330pm). The lack of a crowd was a little concerning when we first arrived, but our server, Anaya (spelling?) was fantastic! She was pleasant, polite, and attentive. I accidentally ordered a non-alcoholic beer and told her - she eagerly switched it out for me and replaced my flat fountain soda with a can. She was apologetic and quick to correct the issues. The food was AMAZING. We had a couple varieties of pizza, the fries, some mozzarella sticks, and some salad - and it ALL was outrageously good! Great server, great food, nice atmosphere, little pricey - but to be expected in DC! Highly recommend the restaurant and server! We'll definitely visit again!
Decent Detroit-style, very friendly service in the front, just a bit off in terms of food prep in the back.
I started with the happily redundantly named crispy chicken crunchers with Sriracha Crystal glaze and cilantro ranch dressing. They have a nice kick, and are as crispy and crunchy AF as advertised. The sauce is nice with little heat and marries well with the cilantro ranch. Definitely worth a try.
For my pizza, I went with the Roni Overload. It took a minute to come out and when it did, the pepperoni was burnt all the way around. I tried a bite and it felt like biting into charcoal so had to do the rare send-it-back and they fired up a new one. The second one came out slightly less chatted, one half was OK, the other not so much. Wasn't going to try a third time so made do.
Props to the server who was super nice and accommodating, and the hostess was friendly too. If they can get the chef from burning the roof of those pizzas, I'd come back :)
I wish I could give this place zero stars but I have to rate it to write a review. I’ve repeatedly ordered from here and they have never gotten my order right, never. It’s basic business, get what you pay for, but this place doesn’t seem to understand that. Their pizza’s are expensive especially when you pay for add on’s. It’s beyond disappointing to pay for something and not receive it. Terrible customer service, wouldn’t recommend to my dog.
Updating my review after I had an absolutely baffling experience with my takeout order. I ordered the cheese sticks and wings and was very excited to try them but still cannot believe I’m typing this but the WINGS HAD FEATHERS ON THEM. I want to puke just typing this I am beyond disgusted and I will NEVER return to Emmy again. I thought I was seeing things because I thought there is no possible way there are FEATHERS but I am done. Never again.
Staying in DC for a few days, looking for good pizza. Found great pizza at Emmy Squared. I don't know if it's the best pizza in DC but if you're into Detroit style, this is it. The size is perfect for 2 for a quick lunch. The staff was friendly and their classic pizza at the time (8/2022) was 30% off on Wednesdays. Five f*****g stars!
