    Cheesy Garlic Sticks
    Ashleigh T.

    We've been ordering Emmy's Squared through DoorDash but decided we wanted to sit inside for dinner on a Friday night. Upon arrival we were seated in a booth behind the bar. Our server came right over as it wasn't very busy. We placed our order right away. It took forever to get our drinks, my partner had to go to the bar and ask for them before they got started. For food we tried the cheese bread and skinny Paulie. It took a long time for everything to come out. The manager came over to apologize and offer a complimentary dessert. The food was great but the service could improve. We love their pizza but I'm not sure we would dine in again.

    Great service for a group for lunch on a Saturday. Nice calm atmosphere where it was easy to chat. Service was good. It did take some time to get drinks but it seems they were making them with great care, which was reflected in the quality. The pear seasonal cocktail was awesome! I forgot to take pictures of the pizzas but they were all good too. Angel pie is my favorite. They have gluten free crusts as well. One regular is easily enough for two people so split one or take some home. No funky service charges too! We will be back.

    Extra cheese and pepperoni. Yum

    I'm just starting to explore the DC pizza game. Emmy's does a Detroit inspired square pizza that is quite good. Detroit has that thick crispy edge that makes corner pieces treasured. If you use Buddy's as the standard for Detroit style the main difference is the corridor crusty edge. Emmy needs to develop that a little more and they are there. Probably needs a little more EVOO just before the oven. Fresh ingredients and good prices make this an easy recommendation.

    Cheese Pizza

    First time at this location, but Ive tried their other locations. I love their pizza it's buttery with crispy edges with a pillowy inside. Ive tried the cheese pizza but you need a salty and acidic element. Also tried the zeppoles. They were very chewy think of eating crusty bread. If you like less sweet desserts you may like this dessert. It tastes like fried pizza dough. It is lightly sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. You need the caramel and cream cheese dip. Both were tasty. Service was quick and it was jumping for a Friday night. Looks like a nice chill spot to eat.

    A true Piz-za heaven !! Fresh, hot and absolutely delicious !!!

    "A True Piz-Za-Mine !" Point blank period... when it comes to Pizza heaven it's no question that Emmy Squared Pizza is second to none. This place is classy, cozy and the service is awesome ( true teamwork) The menu comes with a variety of delicious options, including being able to create your own version of a pizza !! The next time you're in the mood for a nice pie, I encourage you to head to Emmy's... definitely not your typical pizza place!

    The pizza ?? Amazing I see why everyone loves it. The price ? Not so amazing definitely over priced but I'm assuming that's due to the location of the shop. The pizza was great we got a simple pepperoni and it was delicious. I would come if I want to splurge or am just in the area. They do have a happy hour as well as frozen drinks that are pretty good. The resturant is spacious as well good for large or small Groups. Our service was good it took awhile to get our pizza but that's just because it's all Made to order. The resturant was also clean !

    Pizza was very delicious and service was great! The food is on the pricier side, but it is great for larger parties to share and try multiple items.

    Good Paulie Pizza

    Came here for dinner on a quiet Sunday. The interior is spacious and we got seated at a booth. The service was fine, the food took a little long to come out. We ordered 3 items: zia fries, le big matt burger, and the good paulie pizza. Our fries came out first, and that came out quick. They were good and loaded with toppings. We ended up eating most of it because the burger and pizza took longer to arrive. Emmy squared boasts about their burger and it was pretty good, there was also good, but a little on the oily side. I appreciated how they serve the pizza, on a rack, keeping the crust nice and crisp. We ended up with more than we could finish. I probably would order one less item next time, and not come here when I'm starving.

    We came here after moving our daughter into her college dorm. We needed a reload on carbs for the next couple of days of moving. My daughter knows of the other location in Shaw and she says it's pretty good pizza. We parked in a lot a half block away. It was a great parking location. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by a host who seated us. We got a nice spot on the left of the restaurant entry, with a wall of full windows, perfect. Our server was Hamzeh or Hafmez, he was AMAZING. We will definitely be back. Delicious pizza.

    I'm going to miss this place when I leave. When it's Earlybird the breakfast burritos are excellent…read more(and huge!) At a reasonable price. I grab and use in their entirety both the orange-y hot sauce and the green sauce every time while adding hatch chiles to the simplistico burrito. I've shown several other people this place and they loved it as well. When it turns to side door they make some bomb Detroit style pizza. I truly haven't had a bad example of the style yet. I don't know if I'm selecting well or if it's maybe just low key the ultimate style of pizza but this is yet another fantastic example. It's just a small, quick takeout place for the most part, though there is some seating outside when the weather is appropriate. As such, service is generally to the point which is fine by me.

Street Parking Only & It's Definitely Hit Or Miss. I Got Lucky & Found A Spot, But It Is Metered So Be Prepared To Pay. This Spot Is Literally A "Side Door" Located On The Side Of Scarlet Oak. Super Unique Setup With Cool Lights That Make It Easy To Spot. It's Different From Your Typical Pizza Place, Which I Actually Liked. Since It Was Monday, They Had Half-Off Pizzas If You Dine In & I Had To Take Advantage Of That. CHEESE PIZZA I Ordered A Cheese Pizza & Lemon Water. This Is Detroit-Style Pizza, So Don't Expect New York Style. It's Thick, With A Generous Amount Of Mozzarella Cheese & Tomato Sauce. Honestly, It Almost Felt Like A Cheesy Bread Situation But In A Good Way. The Crust Was Buttery With A Slight Crisp On The Outside & Soft Inside, Which Was The Perfect Balance. The Ingredients Tasted Fresh, & It Was Very Filling. The Size I Got Came With 4 Slices, & Honestly, 2 Slices Was More Than Enough. I'd Definitely Come Back & Bring My Son This Feels Like A Spot He'd Love, Especially If He's Into Breadsticks & Cheesy Pizza. The Staff Was Decent, Though I Didn't Interact Much. The Overall Setup Is Interesting, A Full Restaurant Vibe Inside With This Separate Pizza Concept On The Side. Different, But It Works. I'm Glad I Finally Tried It, Unique Setup, Solid Detroit-Style Pizza, & A Great Deal If You Catch It On The Right Day. Just Have To Be In The Mood For Detroit-Style Pizza.

That month I had started Uber driving, was in this area of DC, had heard good things about Wiseguy, and decided to eat here. Although I don't like paying to park just to simply eat a meal, I sometimes will make an exception for convenience and/or if it's a place I really want to go. But for the most part, I'll go to restaurant where they have free parking or at least I can find free parking near the restaurant. I remembered getting a parking spot very close and feel like I feed the meter like 50 cents in 2014 parking prices for a quick 30 minute meal. They have all kinds of varieties of slices from the standard toppings or just cheese to fancy ones. Although the pizza is fairly thin, but average for New York style pizza. I tried Andy's Pizza 11 years later in 2025, and while it was solid although not as good as Wiseguy, my real complaint with Andy's was that the pizza is very thin, where I was hungry very soon later; so a much worse value as pricing is comparable to Wiseguy. Wiseguy slices are big, and the pizza is top notch New York style. I went to this location a couple of more times after my initial August 2014 visit as I loved the pizza. Then, they opened up other locations. I went to Navy Yard one at least twice, once after a Nationals baseball game after a disappointing loss for my 4th favorite baseball team, Texas Rangers. Sorry Nats fans, but Nats are in my bottom 10 teams. I also went to Rosslyn & Pentagon City location, where parking isn't quite as bad. They even had a Wheaton Mall food court location, which I got to experience once, but they sadly closed. Every experience with Wiseguy has been positive.

    Whoa now! We had a slice of the Bacon Me Crazy and a small detroit style Butcher's Block Pie…read more(Cup-n-Char Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Virginia Honey Ham, Bacon, Fresh Oregano, Mozz-Provo Blend). Premium toppings. Fresh, plentiful, great quality. We ordered both well done and received a nice crispy edge on the crust but with all the toppings it's damn near impossible to get a strong enough base to avoid bend. It's worth the compromise- trust me! Both were delicious but I'll skip the detroit crust next time, and there will be a next time. For me the detroit crust was a bit spongy and had a slight yeast taste. Not enough to ruin the experience but enough for me to choose a different crust next time. We also got the ranch for dipping - new experience. That too wasn't for me. The ranch is homemade and great texture and flavor just not what I expected. It had a heavy dill flavor...yep...dill. Again, tasty but, for me, this is more for veggies than pizza. All in all, looking forward to trying other pizzas. Check them out.

    Pizza galore with over 20+ types of pizza to choose from! There were so many pies to choose from!…read moreWhile the White Mushroom Truffle pizza and the Margharita pizza had some good flavor, it wasn't that fresh. My biggest pet peeve about NY style pizza places is that it's impossible to snag a hot slice out of the oven. When the pipping hot pizza is taken out of the oven, it's tucked under the display case. By the time the pizza pie is depleted from the display case, the hidden pizza gets cold as it's finally moved up. The cycle repeats itself...so you can never get a hot fresh slice of pizza. The Garlic Knots were hands-down the best part of my oil! I wish I could order a single knot as I didn't really want 3 knots. While the Chicken and Eggplant Parm are heavily promoted on flyers at the tables, I didn't see them on the menu, it would have been helpful to see before ordering. There's plenty of seating upstairs. Decent neighborhood spot to grab a slice of pizza.

    Continuing the last 3 of the runner-up alphabet series (& then onto 2025 alphabet series with…read morerunner-ups included at the same time) and the only representing 2023, W is for Wiseguy Pizza. I first had Wiseguy on 3rd & Massachusetts Ave NW way back in 2014, and I knew I loved their pizza. I had also been to a couple of other locations in Arlington & their only one in MD, which closed, at Wheaton Mall. I visited this Navy Yard Wiseguy about 3 times. The first was on Monday, January 6, 2020. I had work travel to DC. My girlfriend of that time was working in DC. It was a brief period of time. She started in December 2019, then on that Friday, 1/10, the contract was furloughed due to the contract company President dying, so she was off for 2 weeks. Then, it was back to normal commuting back to DC, which was brief, as Covid was around the corner, and became 100% remote. She was happy I surprised her coordinating lunch at Wiseguy at Navy Yard not far from her work. This location was pretty new at the time. She & I loved our pizza. It's a thin NY style, perhaps the best in the DMV! The other noteworthy time I visited was on Saturday, July 8, 2023. Early that afternoon, I was way up at Columbia Mall, where I happened to be writing this Yelp review now, as I ate lunch & had a movie on my AMC A-List. Afterward, I was texting/calling with a friend. He was itching to go to a baseball game. O's were away, but Nationals were in town playing against one of my favorite teams, the Texas Rangers, and I had their pitcher in our Fantasy baseball league. We coordinated that afternoon having about 1.5 hours to buy tickets on phone, for me to drive from Columbia to Greenbelt Metro with some modest traffic on parts of 95, & metro all the way on Green line for the 4:05 game. My friend was running a bit later, so we didn't enter right at 4:05, but my heart sank when I heard Nats fans loudly cheering for a homer. My Rangers pitcher got clobbered by the Nats. I was pissed at him quickly dropping him the next morning as soon as I could. Although rain chances were low like 15%, there was a heavy thunderstorm that blew from DCA to Nats Park; almost the entire region was clear, but just bad luck. The rain lasted like 15 minutes, but I was pissed at the Nats because they delayed the game by 1.5 hours! They should've gotten the game going within 45 minutes. I think it was a ploy by the Nats to get people to buy more drinks & food. I refused to give the Nats a dime besides the ticket to go to the game. But after the rain, I was hungry from like the 5th inning to the end. We should've been out of there about 6:30 (which would've been on par with my hunger level) but instead like 8 PM. I told my friend about Wiseguy seeing it was quick & relatively cheap. He loved their pizza too as did I once again. If I'm ever in Navy Yard, Wiseguy is definitely a viable option for me.
