    First time visiting this establishment, and I must say, I enjoyed my time there. It was my self and few family members, we sat at the Bar, our bartender Troy was amazing, his personality is just wonderful. He was professional at his work but yet still knows how to interact with the guests. He makes great drinks btw. We only had 2 appetizers which were the boneless wings(spicy) and non spicy, and they tasted great. The restaurant has outdoor seating and indoor, and it was a very pleasant environment. I will definitely visit if I'm in town again. Troy, thank you for making my experience at Emmy Squared Pizza a memorable one.

    Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad
    Shelly P.

    Really enjoyed Emmy's Squared Pizza tonight--snow day in Old Town! The GMs opened up and kept the place warm and welcoming for us freezing, hungry customers (heroes). Had the most fantastic Brussels salad: shaved Brussels, blue cheese, pickled red onion, cranberries, all tossed in a creamy miso--OMG. I'll be thinking about this salad for a long time. Thank you, Emmy's, for the great dinner and cozy vibes on my snowy weekend trip to VA. Love, Vegas

    We got excited about the Detroit style pizza while visiting Alexandria. While it was pretty cold outside, we wanted to sit outside for the atmosphere on King st. We went inside to ask for a table outside and the older gentleman( we were told later it was the bartender) tried to deter us from sitting outside. Saying they were understaffed and he couldn't guarantee good service. This was a first. Inside wasn't busy. We opted to "take our chances". The server eventually came out and took our order. The same guy(bartender) brought our pizza out and didn't ask if we needed anything else. We did. I had to go inside to order a couple drinks. Pizza was pretty good. Wished it was a little hotter. Maybe sat under a heater lamp before coming out to us. Overall, a decent experience. Wished the customer service at the beginning was better. But we would come back.

    MVP Pizza w| side of Ranch
    Tre B.

    Emmy Squared is one of my absolute staples, and this location never disappoints. Every time I come here, it's a solid experience from start to finish. I ordered the MVP pizza with ranch on the side (a must), and it was everything I expected, perfectly crispy edges, flavorful sauce, and well-balanced toppings. Comfort food done right. I sat at the bar and was served by Troy, who truly elevated the experience. He's knowledgeable, approachable, and full of great recommendations-especially helpful when you're undecided. You can tell he knows the menu and genuinely enjoys making sure guests have a great time. Great food, great service, and a consistent go-to spot on the Alexandria waterfront. I'll definitely keep coming back.

    Although I'm not typically into chain restaurants or those in high-tourist areas, I give Emmy Squared a break on both fronts because the food is really delicious. We've ordered takeout, eaten in the dining room, and sat at the bar. Personally, I prefer the bar seating. Service is always good and efficient, regardless of where you sit, and the flavors will surprise and delight you. I'm a fan of their pizza--it doesn't taste like overly processed chemicals and strikes the right flavor balance (and I always have leftovers!). My spouse and I recently came here the night before an early 5-mile run, and I tried the Caesar salad for the first time. Amazing! I love an authentic Caesar recipe (anchovies, raw eggs, and all), but I'm not a big fan of croutons. The beautiful thing about this salad is that there are no chunky croutons. Instead, there are little crunchy bits mixed into the salad itself. So smart and delicious. A caution when sitting in the main dining area: it's not terribly big, there's very little sound proofing, and you'll likely be rubbing elbows with the table next to yours with only a thin partition between you. You can hear everything they're saying and it'll distract from what your dinner mates are saying. Hence, my recommendation that you order takeout or sit at the bar. Another caution: The spicy stuff is delicious but actually REALLY spicy, so if you have low tolerance, maybe skip those options.

    Emmy's was recommended to me by a coworker. It was excellent. First, the ambiance of Alexandria is truly special. Nestled a block from the waterfront, Emmys is in a great location around the hustle and bustle of Old Town King street. The pizza is outstanding. Gluten free folks can rejoice as the gluten free crust option is a delicious alternative. Oftentimes, gluten free crust will change the entire dish. As Emmys specializes in square Detroit style, I was expecting the gluten free pie to just be a round alternative. It was not. It was exactly like their bread and butter just with a slightly thinner crust than the regular pizzas. I ordered the Big Ang. This pizza came topped with banana peppers, dollops of ricotta cheese, Italian sausage and a scrumptious vodka sauce. It was perfect. I ordered the regular size as there is also a large option. The regular may not look that big in the photo, but it is more than enough for one person. I found myself slowing down after 4 of the 6 squares. My friend ordered the Big Hawaiian. He enjoyed it! With the regular crust being much thicker, he only ate half of his pizza and took the rest home. For an appetizer, we ordered the chicken crunchers in the pineapple sauce. These were good and tasted somewhat like an Orange Chicken sauce. I am not sure how they are about refills as I ordered an unsweet tea and my friend ordered a coke. The coke came in the glass bottle so it seems to be a one and done kind've deal for drinks. The atmosphere was bustling. They have a small bar with a TV that was showing college football. It was a fun atmosphere.

    I have yet to have a slice here that wasn't delicious! Super quality meats, sauces, cheeses, and dough! Seriously - the dough is so soft with crispy edges! Even the gluten free pizzas are amazing! The gluten free options have a thinner dough, but they're still high quality and I couldn't taste any different to the regular one. I've only tried their delivery and their service is fantastic! The pizzas were still warm and ready to eat by the time they arrived. I can't wait to sit down at their restaurant and try their pizzas right after they pop out of the oven! I don't have much else to say other than you've got to give these folks a try!

    First time having Detroit styled pizza. This was pretty good. Definitely recommend to anyone in Old Towne. The service was good and server attentive.

    Still a 5* review...but...I love a good tomato on my burger. They don't have any in the restaurant. Also, ask for the lettuce on the side. The burger basically cooks it (it is under the burger in the stack) before you get it. It looks sad. Problem solved though when I ask for more lettuce and to have it on the side. The burger is excellent otherwise. Still love the Detroit style pizza. Also the waffle fries!! Outdoor seating is marvelous while the weather still holds. Definitely try the pizza! Also the burger.

    Not from the area, TX native & this place is awesome! Lovely service & good atmosphere! Highly recommend the Woodward ave. & I'm Big In Japan cocktails. Food came quickly (was delicious) & staff is friendly.

    It was recommended by a friend, they said that the Hawaiian pizza here is good and no joke it was! I know very selective who likes pineapple on their pizza and it has been awhile since the last time I had it and so thankful that this place gives justice with the Hawaiian pizza that am craving. The time we went they don't have an AC so that's hard fight with your sweat glands but the service was for sure on the spot and fast. The place was packed when we visit just got lucky that there's still availability at the bar area. They have an alfresco and indoor dine in. For parking, it will be street parking and you need to walk to the restaurant. It's around the corner where the closed road is so it will not be hard to find.

    Chopped Wedge Salad

    I really wanted to like this spot, but the kitchen and service struggled. There was only one waiter on the floor, leading to long waits (apparently there were a rush of delivery orders too so maybe that played into it as well). My first wedge salad was served with raw chicken; the second attempt (pictured) had no chicken, but the presentation was terrible and the quality was so poor I couldn't even eat it. The pizzas also lacked flavor, though the Brussels sprout salad and Caesar salad were delicious. They did comp the salad, but the execution overall needs more consistency.

They emphasized fajitas as being a featured item on their extensive menu, and reviews seemed quite positive, so hey...why not give it a try? We arrived around 4 and sat at the bar. We were the only customers at the time which seemed a little odd since it was a Friday and a very pleasant day outside. We were greeted by the bartender/server and given complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were quite nice. We also had basic salted rim jalapeno margaritas, which were ok. Not bad, not outstanding, they were poured out of a large plastic jug. We then opted to split the steak and shrimp fajitas with the usual accompaniment of guacamole, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, refried beans and rice. For $28.99, this was a huge disappointment. 3 shrimp and 5 strips of thin beef with fried onions and a few peppers. The shrimp was actually tasty and very well seasoned but 3 shrimp? Please. The steak was difficult to evaluate since the pieces were so tiny. The refried beans, rice etc were fine, but the dish was overall a total disappointment and a terrible value for the price. There was only one other party of people that came in during the entire time we were at the restaurant which I feel is telling. With so many other Tex Mex options in the DMV, I would not consider returning to Dos Hermanos again.

    Discovered this restaurant for Alexandria's restaurant week and really glad I found it!…read more It's a smaller space but very intimate, dimly lit, and well decorated! We were immediately greeted when we walked in and our server/bartender was extremely welcoming and friendly! We chatted for a bit and really loved the quality of service he provided. It was personable and professional. We tried the wagyu burger (perfectly seasoned and cooked, juicy!) and the hot chicken sandwich (crispy chicken, delectable sauce, overall 10/10 and a MUST). The appetizers we got Brussel sprouts (very bitter, a little soggy, overall a bit disappointing) and the ribbon fries (they were basically chips, but not seasoned or salted) topped with a mayo-based sauce that was pretty good but also pretty disappointing. We didn't have room for desserts but the main dishes and drinks were good! There is a speakeasy counterpart that is right next door with incredible cocktails. Excited to try it out soon.

    So originally we signed up for an Experimental Zero Proof Cocktail night with Captain Gregory's but…read moreit ended up being a Railbird event (or both places?). Makes sense, a little more room out there anyway. We haven't been on this side of the place since it was a Sugar Shack so it was nice to see the new concept. The seats are mostly at the bar was maybe 3-4 tables around the rest of the restaurant. We got a small taster when we sat down which was really good but I do not remember what it was. The zero proof menu we were there consisted of a Blueberry, Fauxgroni, and a Honey cocktail. We got the Blueberry and Fauxgroni to start. Both were made in front of us and had very cool looking details, especially the Fauxgroni's ice cube. The Blueberry was delicious and the honey foam on top was great with it. We figured since we were there we should also grab dinner which was fully available too. Not a huge menu but had snacks and sandos with a Japanese influence. We started with the Oysters Trio and Tater Tots. The oysters came in these ceramic oysters which was pretty cool and they had an amazing flavor to them. Little sweet, little sour. The tater tots were also great because they're tater tots but the sauce really changed the flavors for us. We also got two sandos, the Hot Maple and the Miso Honey. The sandwich's were a good size. So much flavor packed in each bite. The Hot Maple had a ton of bacon jam and combined with the red onion it was a salty, sweet, sour, crunchy rich sandwich. The runny egg on top was a nice touch. The Miso Honey had a strong truffle flavor but the honey sweetness came through nicely. Also very crunchy. Lastly we got two more drinks off their regular menu, the Coffee Bean and the Hibiscus. The flavors in the Coffee Bean worked so well together. I would say it was one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. The Hibiscus was pretty solid too but I only had a few sips. To end, as a part of our experience, we got these complimentary yuzu lime donuts. I guess as a call back to Sugar Shack maybe? They weren't bad, a little crispy but the flavor wasn't strong. Definitely a cool experience. I might not pay $20 for the zero proof experience itself but I would come back for their food and cocktails because I would say it was all on point.
