Every bite feels like a warm embrace from Naples.

About Us

A MUST EAT! One of the top five pizza places in all of DC, but you have to go to the original location in upper Northeast. The traditional Calzone is amazing. This place is one of the few locations in DC that are certified by the Italian government as Pizza Verace.

Tasty pizza and a cold beer is fantastic on a chilly day. Enjoyed the aroma of pizza even though it was pricey for me. Cold beef was refreshing while watching the traffic pass by. Pizza was very large so luckily we had yummy leftovers for a few days.

Top pizza places in DC, no questions about it. The staff is friendly, the food is fantastic, and the environment is really nice. Quiet enough to have an intimate dinner inside but lively if you want to have a group on the patio. Pizzas are all divine and make sure you get a cannoli to finish your meal!

This pizza isn’t just “as good as in Italy,” it’s as good as the very best in Italy. I spent about a decade back and forth in Italy and ate pizza everywhere. MAYBE one pizza in Naples ONCE was marginally better. Maybe. If you don’t like Menomale’s pizza it’s because you don’t like Italian pizza. (And there’s nothing wrong with not appreciating Italian pizza! To each their own!) Everything else on the menu—including the wine, including the selection of salami and prosciutto—is equally exceptional.

Lucky to have found this awesome pizza place near Capitol Hill. This really sums up the meal from their website: "bring authentic Neapolitan pizza to life. Every dish is crafted with passion, using the freshest ingredients and traditional wood-fired techniques straight from Naples, Italy. Whether you’re visiting for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, our cozy atmosphere and flavorful creations will make you feel right at home." Usually marketing and reality dont match, but in this case, they were perfectly aligned, and I did not have to go to Italy, plus the staff made us feel as if we had traveled to Naples.
