    Really?
    Keith H.

    A good place. Plenty of parking and an unlikely award of one the best pizzas in the world! Pizzas are ok with soft runny top on thin base. Fair chicken and ok porketta sandwich 7/10. Consistent serving. Plenty of inside and outside seating.

    Beef Pepperoni Personal - 12'' Caesar salad  - no meat
    Amethyst R.

    I don't want to be mean but this wasn't worth $35-$40. The cheese didn't stick but the cheese was good. The cashier seemed new, and they were about to close but the cashier/host wasn't really helpful but was very polite and attentive. The restaurant itself was pretty big with many seats and a bar. I probably won't go during dinner again? I don't know but it was ok.

    My favorite Italian restaurant in the DMV. Authentic Italian food, exquisite and heavenly pizza, great melone con prosciutto, good minestrone, delicious seafood pasta (mussels are the freshest and best as well as all the seafood), best tiramisu and the Nutella pizza cannot be described because it's too good - just eat it! Of course these are my personal favorites and my family also went crazy for the gnocchi lasagna and everything else they had, they ordered again two days after - the exact same dishes. I understand then because they leave far and now they want to come back not just to see us but to go back to A Modo Mio the ambiance is fun and relaxed and the service is laidback efficient and friendly. Feels like home.

    This place is a hit! We glad we listened to a recommendation and found this place. We had bruschetta which really good! The pizza we had Diavola, Prosciutto with Arugula and pepperoni. Everything was so good but my fave is Prosciutto with Arugula. The dough, taste and feels like am in Napoli again. We also ordered the lasagna, but I think it's not for our party. It's not bad but we just have high expectations. The staff were wonderful, really fast and they are there in the right time. The place was has its own character and charm from the outside to inside. Sittings are available outdoor and indoor. For sure we will go back!

    Margherita Personal - 12''
    Camilla Y.

    Most authentic Italian pizza in the DMV. The numerous awards are well deserved. I ordered a 12 inch Margherita pizza. Great balance of sauce and cheese. The crust was crispy, not too thick, and brought me back to the years I lived in Italy. The flour is even shipped from Italy! The 12 inch feeds one person quite easily, but can also be shared for 2 with an appetizer. Service was friendly, genuine, and fast. Vibe was casual. While I only ordered pizza, I'll be back for happy hour! The wine selection looked impressive, and happy hour applies to whole menu!

    My 12" Casertana, a delicious sausage pizza that's enough for two (people or meals).

    A Modo Mio offers many food specials. For example, on Tuesdays, that's when we stopped there for dinner, all their pasta dishes are 1/2 price. However, given that they ranked 32nd among this country's top 50 Pizza restaurants, I had to order a pizza. And I'll get to my pizza after I discuss some other things, because it all plays together. Also, during my visit, I kept drawing comparisons between this place and Pupatella, a local Neapolitan pizza juggernaut. The Big Question to answer is why A Modo Mio got a spot on the Top 50 while Pupatella didn't even make the cut. Access is easy, and parking is good. There are lots of spaces that wrap around the restaurant. That's in contrast to Pupatell, which has limited parking and where I always wind up using the Safeway lot across the street. The restaurant is clean and spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating. It also has a long, well-stocked bar where you can sit to enjoy a beverage or a meal. Pupatella doesn't have any of that. When you arrive, you're greeted by a host who shows you to your seat. A very short while later, a waiter shows up and does all the things waiters do. At Pupatella, you wait in line to place your order, then find an open table. TLDR: Your dining experience, outside of the food, is much more civilized and relaxing at A Modo Mio. The pie that earned their 32 out of 50 ranking was the Sicilia. But I ordered a 12" Casertana because I'm not crazy about eggplant and like sausage. The pie arrived a short while later, piping hot and loaded with sausage. The taste was sublime and delicious. My only complaint was that the basil was added before baking, and I prefer that herb when it's not reduced to ash. So back to The Big Question, is the A Modo Mio pizza *that* much better than Pupatella that it earned a spot amongst the Top 50 while the other one didn't even make the cut? Frankly, it's not. It is good pizza... possibly great pizza. But that's also true of the other place. What sets A Modo Mio apart from that other place, and the answer to the Big Question, is that the criteria for generating the Top 50 list included more than the pizza. It also took into account: - Hospitality and Service - Ambiance - Beverage Program. Beyond the pizza, A Modo Mio has those things in abundance, while the other place pretty much has none. TLDR: Comparing pizzas side by side, the two places are on par. However, if you take into account the entire dining experience, you will be much happier with your pizza here, as opposed to that other place or most other pizza restaurants in the DMV area.

    We keep coming back for more!! Amazing seafood pasta, al dente of course. Great pizzas, thin crust and light sauce and cheese like in Italy, great coffee (try the cold one shaken and served in a martini glass, can't remember the name), great Tiramisu. Everything here is delicious!

    Meatball and eggplant pizza
    Claudine L.

    I thought the pizza was pretty good, but a couple of them were a little more floppy than I would like. We saw four different pizzas to share meatball egg, eggplant, pesto, and prosciutto. My favorite was the prosciutto with the fresh arugula. I also enjoyed the pesto and burrata. We got the roasted broccoli and there's nothing special. Comes with free bread and olive oil didn't really enjoy it, since the bread was hard. We were there for someone's birthday and we got free Panna cotta and an ensemble to sing happy birthday. It was really cute. It was a good vibe to enjoy dinner together with friends.

    Pepperoni pizza
    Melanie K.

    The flavors were there but the execution wasn't the greatest. I don't like my pizza to droop when I pick it up. Maybe if the crust were a little thicker with less grease it wouldn't droop. Sauce was watery but tasted good. The outer crust was perfect. I understand they purposely make it this way, just not my preference I guess.

    The pizza here is so tasty! We got a pizza that was half Arlington, and half Casertana, both great options! The food came out pretty promptly. The drinks were also strong in a good way. They give complimentary bread, which was nice to eat since we were all really hungry. Service was very helpful and great! The restaurant is a bit congested but it has the vibe of an old diner, which I liked. Their Happy Hour deals are great too, so would love to come back and try other dishes.

    The secret is to ask for a well done pizza so the crust is not soggy. I'll give them a solid four stars now.

The quality is consistently excellent, and the pizza genuinely reminds me of being in New York. In fact, someone visiting us from New York tried it and absolutely loved it, which says a lot! We typically order online and pick up, and the entire experience has always been seamless. The online ordering process is easy, the pizza is ready on time, and our orders are always accurate. The staff are friendly and attentive when we arrive, and they're also very responsive whenever we call. The portions are incredibly generous! Their large pizza is huge, with slices that remind you of a classic New York pizzeria. One large pizza can easily feed four people if everyone has about two slices. We also tried their Brussels sprouts, and they were really good! They're a great addition to the pizza order. Between the authentic New York-style pizza, consistent quality, generous portions, and dependable customer service, Andy's Pizza has become one of our go-to places. Highly recommended for anyone craving a great New York slice in Northern Virginia!

When I had ordered previously, I always found that my pie was not ready and I had to wait. Each time, I waited a bit longer, and each time, still not ready. So, this time, ordered my pizza before 9:00 PM and did not depart immediately -- but instead waited a full 20 minutes before even walking there slow. When I arrived, the pizza was..... still not ready. It occurs to me that this shop is situated in a time zone that is somehow TEN MINUTES BEHIND the time your order is due. The guy says "five minutes." In any case, I stand, I wait.... and I.... wait some more. It wasn't five minutes. Lots of workers standing. Nearing the 9:30 mark, someone finally says "have you been helped?" And whadda ya know? Found out the reason I was still waiting - BECAUSE MY PIE WAS SITTING THERE THE WHOLE DAMN TIME! Getting cold. She says "we're just getting that cut up." But they weren't - it was already cut. They took one of their old pies off the rack and slid it right into a box. It wasn't in the oven. I could feel it was cold, but yes, I took it and went home. I can't say you couldn't eat it but.... it wasn't good. We did eat some of it, but only after baking it in my own oven. Good thing I ordered in advance, eh? If you are going to do a take out here, my advice would be to skip ordering altogether, and just go there and get the slices yourself. They won't be too fresh, but at least it will be fast. Better yet, go across the street to Quincy Hall, (or over to Wise Guys) where they will bake the pizza to order and have it hot and ready when you arrive. Keep in mind here they charge $32 for a pizza, full price only. NOT worth it, won't be back, do not recommend.

The crab purse app was sinful! Full of the juiciest large lump crab meat I've enjoyed in decades. And the Bolognese Lasagna was simply divine! Truthfully, I had no desire after a long workday to even have a cocktail, but the waiter was able to recommend a great glass of red wine to compliment what was already ordered and he was 100% correct.
