Our Story

Thank Goodness Pizza Exists!

Meno male (pronounced "meh-no mah-leh") means "Thank Goodness" in Italian!. Since 2012, we've been making authentic Neapolitan pizza with the original 18th century recipe, and we are proud to bring Neapolitan heritage to Washington, DC. In 2021, we added Roman Style pizza in our NoMa location.
Our pizza is historic, just like DC!
