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.

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!

This pizza tastes just like the pizza we had in Naples. Crust is light and chewy. Sauce, cheese and toppings were perfect. Highly recommend if you like Neapolitan pizza. Rated #32 of the top 50 pizza spots for 2025 but better than ones we've had higher on the list.

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.

Side House Salad

I love this place, probably my favorite Neapolitan pizzeria in DMV. I like the variety of options, good sides and desserts as well. The staff is also very cheerful. They have specials on everyday with some days with half off pizzas. Check the website for details.

Pesto e Burrata-12"
Pranusha P.

I was able to walk in without a reservation with a party of four for a girls dinner. We were graded with a cozy family, friendly environment that had no frills and was low-key but still a little upscale. They have a nice outdoor patio as well and plenty of parking. The food is really authentic and feels like you are in Italy. The pizzas, especially feature amazing mozzarella Cheese and fresh tomatoes. I highly recommend the pesto burrata pizza. It was very unique and tasty.

The pizza here was ok, but I was surprised at the expensive cake fee. At other restaurants, I don't have to pay an insane cake fee and they will store the cake, add candles, cut the cake, and provide plates and utensils. Here, they charge way too much just to store the cake. The pizza was nothing special, so the service really soiled my experience.

Modo Mio, 4 Cheese, Tomato Pie, Margherita, Porchetta
Andrew M.

Came here on a Saturday around 7ish with my fellow pizza aficionado. Very nice. The dough is really really thin and soft before it gets airy and a little more dense (and nicely blistered). Sauce is EXCELLENT. I thought the tomato pie (no cheese) was outstanding (but could be further enhanced with a sprinkle of fresh garlic and pecorino). The red Modo Mio(?) with the prosciutto, arugula, olives and ricotta(?) was my favorite. The white porchetta with shrooms was almost equally outstanding. Maybe add sauce and make it red? REALLY really good though. The 4 Cheese was my buddy's fave, and he's as sick in the head (we've traveled for pizza...more than once) for za as I am. Lastly the Margherita. Very good, cheese to sauce skewed way too cheesy (cant believe I typed that) and should've been fresh mozzarella. But still quite a delicious slice.

The food was so good! Prices were very fair. Everyone working there seemed to enjoy their job and we're great at customer service. I wish I loved closer cause this is definitely the best Italian food I've had in a while.

Gnocchi Sorrentina
Hunter B.

We came here on a Wednesday and it was packed, we could not find parking in the actual lot so we had to park on the street. Luckily we did make a reservation so we had our table ready. The free bread and oil were fresh and great. Wednesdays they have half off pizzas so we got those and I tried the Gnocchi Sorrentina. The pizza was great and the gnocchi was really good sadly I just wish it came with more. We also got the tiramisu and mini cannolis, both were just ok. I would definitely come back on Wednesday and get more pizza or even on Tuesdays where they have half off pasta.

Spaghetti al Pomodoro, Lasagna Bolognese
Caroline K.

Great restaurant. The food was so delicious. A little pricey for the portions but each dish really tasted great. Cute inside. Their kitchen is totally open which I love. Added a really cool element to the ambiance. Service was overall good.

Pizza with mushrooms and onions.
Benjy E.

I'm giving this place a 5 because it's very nice, clean, and well presented. The advertising they did about being a top 50 pizza got me in the door and I'm glad I checked it out. I went on a Sunday and it was pretty crowded. Great experience.

Once we arrived, our server attended to our group with grace and warmth. My friends enjoyed their food, from the pizza to the chicken parmesan to the pasta. I usually eat chicken Alfredo, but tried the shrimp Alfredo and it was delicious! Toward the end of the meal, I was able to choose a complimentary dessert, and went for my server's recommendation, the pistachio cake. As the meal wrapped up, we were stunned when the lights went out (a few of us thought the power went out). However, it was a dramatic transition into me being surprised with cake and song! The cake was layered beautifully, fragrant and fluffy, and not too sweet. I passed it down the table for each of my friends to try, and they all offered words of praise. I'm looking forward to returning when I'm craving traditional Italian food again! Thank you for helping to create a special memory.

We showed up and had a reservation at 8pm. We did not get seated until 8:30pm. To make it "better"…read morewe were all given lemon drop shots while waiting (it had maybe a drop of alcohol, nothing). When we were finally seated, we told the waitress at the top of the night that we had a gluten intolerance in our group. When my friend ordered specifically gluten free pasta, she was served pasta with gluten. This is a serious disease and was absolutely unacceptable and unsafe. We got to send the food back luckily, but by the time it came we were all done eating, and her pasta was undercooked. Additionally, we order two appetizers, they didn't come until significantly after all our entrees. We had to ask multiple times for them to take this off our order, but they refused. After multiple attempts to fix this, we finally got them comped. When we ordered drinks, my friend didn't get her drink until 10 minutes after everyone else got theirs. Overall the staff were very difficult to work with and speak with them. The waitress ended up hiding from us and asked a different server to serve us, even though we were being very even tempered and reasonable with all our requests. Through all of this, the food was good (minus the gluten spike) and the ambiance was nice. Becuase of all these mistakes, multiple mistakes, I just cannot recommend coming here. We tried to be so patient, but I just cannot with this service. I think the servers name was Jasmine, but I'm not sure. Should out to the wonderful hostess though! She was great and very sweet.
