Great food and service. We went with our grandson. He got crayons to paint , a high chair and he loved the mozzarella sticks.

out of all the places to eat in old town this one's my favorite because of your amazing team member, Denae!! She was so helpful with the menu, very polite and attentive!! read more

I drove to Old Town Alexandria to catch the planes landing and taking off and remembered I wanted to try Emma's square pizza. We pulled nearby around 4pm on a Saturday and this place was PACKED. My wife placed the order and it took about 25/30 minutes for the pizza to come. She ordered the pear pressure drink in the meantime which was extremely delicious she said. Great mix of alcohol and juice. The pizza arrived and was scorching hot. You could really taste the flavor however there was a ton of red sauce. The crust had the proper taste and the meat was delicious. My wife said the cheesy garlic bread was top notch. Overall I'd go back. The pizza is pretty good and the drink had my wife feeling great. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Emmy Squared Pizza - Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad - Pizza Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Emmys squared pizza is my go to! I want to thank our server, Danae, from great recommendations to great service!

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Had a really great first experience here today. Came in around 11:30am for lunch with a friend and my kiddos. Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant was cute and felt intimate. Several booths and a few tables with a decent size bar. Bathrooms could use some updating but was clean. The pizza was amazing. Nice deep dish, crispy and gooey pizza. I had the two slices of cheese with a Cesar salad. Both were fantastic and fresh. My little one had pizza sticks which were cheese breadsticks with marinara and a side of pineapple but she could have gotten fries. She devoured it and it came first which was nice since the kiddos are always ready to eat as soon as they sit down. Ha! My friend had a gluten free pie with several toppings and she said it was the best gluten free pizzas she's ever had! This is really saying something. Prices were good and for the 3 of us it was about $60 which is good for the times. Will likely return. read more

I was excited to try the squared pizza but it was very thick. I was hoping for a Detroit styled squared pizza with the crust still being a little crispy but it was really hefty and soft. I called in an order and they were pretty quick to fulfill my order. I just wish the pizza variety was larger. read more

Came here with a few friends on a Friday night, it was steady with customers. The service was great, very attentive checked in on us frequently. We got the mozzarella sticks to start which were good! Loved the pizza! The big Hawaiian and Ezzo were my favorite followed by the Miranda and the good Paulie. Would recommend. Prices were reasonable and food was good! read more

This was genuinely some of the best pizza I've ever had. The service was great. I came with nine of my friends, and we got our food after ordering 15 minutes later.

Wanted to spend the day in Alexandria and walk around the water w our dog :) looked for a restaurant nearby with outdoor seating and decided on this places.

Hey friends! This is one of my favorite spots. I've been here a few times and it's consistently great! I ordered the Le Big Matt burger($19) with a side of fries. The menu states this was an award winning burger and that award is well deserved! The flavors all came together perfectly. The temperature was cooked perfectly medium. Bonus points for the pretzel bun, it's my favorite kind of bun! The fries were a great addition. Super crispy and flavorful. We also ordered a cocktail pitcher. I can't remember the name, but it's a seasonal item. It was okay taste- wise. We would've preferred less ice. I barely felt a buzz from the cocktail and I had three lol. Customer service is consistently amazing. Very friendly staff! The owner came out to introduce himself and check on us. We sat on the patio which was a great view to people watch and watch the performances outside. I look to being here more regularly for the summer season! Hope you enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian read more

I swear it is always pretty good. I really like this location and the option for indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was very friendly. I will say that I usually go to the Navy Yard location, but their parking is crazy so we came to the Alexandria location and I felt like the pizzas were smaller here. I like the loaded fries, but I almost thought that they could have a little bit less toppings because sometimes they were overpowering. read more

Emmy Squared Pizza is a cornerstone restaurant along King Street in Old Town Alexandria right by the waterfront. During the warmer seasons you can see folks dining inside, outside, and at the bar on Detroit style pizzas and having a good time. The atmosphere inside is bright and yet warm. Maybe a bit tight with the seating at the booths and the bar, but nothing too crammed. The menu has a little something for everyone, and I cannot stress enough when they say "shareable" they truly mean it. I ordered their Brussels Sprouts Salad since a friend had mentioned they love ordering it and having some for lunch the next day. It says "serves 2-3" and my god it does. I ate that with dinner the night at the restaurant and then for lunch the next 3 days. They did not skimp on the blue cheese either, so if you're not a fan of that cheese you can't escape it. But if you love it like I do, then this is the salad for you! Could one person take down their own order of a regular 8"x10" Detroit-style pizza? Sure. Should you? Eh, maybe not. Have a table of 4 and order 2-3 regular pizzas to share and try multiple flavors! The service was good, attentive, and friendly. Overall, nothing earth-shattering at Emmy Squared, but it is good, consistent, and I'm always looking forward to going back. read more

I love pizza, but I especially love detroit style pizza. I came here solo for lunch and ordered a large Ezzo. Yes, a lovely large pizza just for me (sorry Kevin McAllister, it wasn't a cheese pizza) The large was a good choice because I could bring the leftovers home. The rest of the menu sounds good I need to come back! Definitely yum for Detroit pizza read more

We came during the Alexandria pride event weekend and there was a wait list but as we decided to sit at the bar, we were able to be serviced right away. We came in and ate the Hawaiian pizza and it was SO good.

We came in hungry and left truly very happy. This was my first experience with Detroit style pizza and I'd like to call out my own ignorance, it is nothing like deep dish. The Detroit style is its own uniquely wonderful experience, with a perfect crust and just the right amount of depth to add to each bite. We went custom with our pizza design, but the menu was full of excellent prebuilt options. I mentioned we came in hungry, we certainly were not reading properly. Do better than me and recognize that the chicken sandwiches have TWO chicken patties! Not a detriment at all although it was difficult to bite into at first. There was no loss of flavor in the slightest, and while my chicken was slightly overcooked my friend's was absolutely perfect. We sat at the bar and had a lovely conversation with two of the bartenders about books and the surrounding area, stellar conversations abound. The location is prime and comfortable, I'm excited to go back and try more variety in the pies. read more

Stopped by earlier today. Over all not a great experience. We were seated immediately but after that our table was forgotten. It was about 20 minutes when I had to go and ask if a server was coming to our table. Then once they came over the young lady gave a hot bottle of water. We had wings and pizza. Wings were very good. Being from NyC and CT its hard to find pizza comparable of that area. Pizza was ok a little too much dough and very oily. But for VA not bad. Probably wont be back too many negative things happened today. read more

WOWWW!!! My group showed up and sat down at 840pm after realizing they close at 9pm. We ordered as quickly as possible and they delivered the BEST Detroit style pizza I've every had. The MVP is an elite pizza, but the staff absolutely crushed it. Crispy crust, fluffy dough, vibrant sauce. Just wow. They delivered an amazing experience even with us showing up and staying past closing time. *The new bartender seated another group at 9:05pm because the host was cleaning in the back, not realizing they were closed. The staff obviously wasn't happy with the bartender but the staff still gave that group excellent service. read more

Table for 4 please. We were seated almost immediately. Service was excellent. Food was really good. This deep dish square pizza was on point. My husband had wings (not pictured). I must've been paying attention to my food and the company of my bonus son and brother in law to take a picture when his food arrived. He enjoyed the wings. I can definitely see myself going back. The atmosphere was very welcoming and our server was very attentive. We actually could have had a large pizza instead of 3 to ourselves. It was an afternoon well spent with my family. read more
