2 Amys pizza just off Wisconsin Ave. NW. According to many DC pizza lovers, 2 Amys makes the best pizza in the area. L. and I had gone looking for this place a couple of times but were never able to find it because for some reason we thought it was in Georgetown when actually it's not too far from the National Cathedral. Once we figured out our mistake, 2 Amys was easy to find.

So is it the best pizza in D.C.? As far as I'm concerned, no. The crust is great and the toppings seemed fresh and high quality—it was great pizza, no question. But the best best best pizza in D.C. is at Alberto's. Unfortunately, Alberto's has been closed for the last couple of months after they had a bit of a fire. Their recording says the place will open up June 20, so I'm thinking I'll be having some yummy pizza that day.

It's possible that 2 Amys and Alberto's aren't really comparable because they're doing different things. 2 Amys does “gourmet” Neapolitan pizza, while Alebert's does Chicgo style. Still, strictly on a gourmet pizza comparison, what makes 2 Amys better than Paradiso?
