Emmy Squared Pizza in Navy Yard never disappoints. Every single time we visit, the food is consistently delicious, and that's hard to find these days. The pizza is absolutely incredible. The crust is what keeps me coming back--buttery, perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. Every bite reminds you why this place has such a great reputation. It's comfort food done right. Their salads deserve just as much recognition. They're always fresh, generously portioned, and full of flavor. Whether you're pairing one with a pizza or enjoying it on its own, you really can't go wrong. What I appreciate most is the consistency. After multiple visits, the quality has never slipped. Great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a team that always delivers a great experience. If you're in Navy Yard and craving pizza, Emmy Squared should be at the top of your list. Between the unforgettable buttery crust, outstanding salads, and consistently excellent food, it's easily one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. read more

I have heard many good places about Emmy Squared and always wanted to try it. I knew there are several locations throughout the Northeast but I was never able to go. I was in the Navy Yard finishing up an event at Nats Park and wanted some pizza. I saw Emmy Squared was nearby so I walked over. It was very empty inside so seating was available. The waiter was able to get me a table by the open window. I am looking through the menu and seeing all of the options. I decided to order the four-cheese pizza. It came out quickly. It was okay. I was not amazed by it. It seemed like the usual frozen pizza reheated. I had high expectations to be here which were not met. Maybe if I try one of the New York City locations it might be different. However, the Navy Yard location did not meet my full standards. read more

I've visited the emmy squared in Brooklyn and so was delighted to see a location right at the navy yard. We had a reservation on a Saturday and was able to be seated on time. We decided to sit outside - they have about 10 tables of 2-4 outside. There are also plenty of tables and booths inside. I think they may have been understaffed this evening - our service was not that great. We weren't given plates, napkins, or cutlery until after our food came out. Also took forever to find someone to get the check. We got the Big Ang pizza which was really good. Loved all the toppings. The Deluxe pizza was also great. I thought the balance of sauce and topping was really good. Also got the chopped wedge salad which was good. We got their espresso martini and a slightly spicy margarita (forgetting the name!). Beware: the espresso martini is STRONG. Very alcohol forward. Not to say it's bad though! Overall, I had a decent experience. Food and drinks were great, service not so much. Definitely do recommend for the food and drinks though! read more

There was one guy working the whole restaurant! It was a slow day/time. He was very chill, professional and gave great service. Delicious pizza! We got the cheesy garlic sticks and the Big Hawaiian. Both great. I would go back again to try the other items on their menu. read more

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. read more

This little spot is easily one of my favorite spots we went to while in DC. The food was absolutely delicious. The pizza.... THE PIZZA!!! I had the founders favorite and when I tell you, its the best pizza flavors I have ever had in my life.. it was literally the best! If you like spicy, sweet and pizza.. order the Founders Favorite. The Sriracha boneless chicken wings were also surprisingly something to rave about too. The sauce wasnt overbearing or underwhelming. The sauce it comes with, was delicious as well. The other pizzas were good too. I really enjoyed this place!! read more

Stopped in before going to a Nats game and really liked it. I did a build your own with red sauce, Nashville Hot Chicken, and pickled jalapeños and it was delicious. I ordered the smaller of the 2 sizes and it was plenty of food for 1 person, but wouldn't have been enough for us 2 to share. My friend got the Founders and was happy with it. His only critique is that he wished it used a little less of the hot honey and would nix it next time so there was no added sweetness. It was a bit pricey for pizza, but the quality was good enough that I would gladly order the same thing again. It was a nice day so they opened the garage doors out on to the sidewalk, which was fun to watch life go by. It was between lunch and dinner so we were able to get in and get out fairly quickly- prompt service and nice waiter. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Emmy Squared Pizza - Navy Yard - A true Piz-za heaven !! Fresh, hot and absolutely delicious !!! - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Quite literally the best food I had the whole time I was in DC. The service was amazing! The restaurant was clean and definitely a vibe.

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 ! read more

I have to say that their pizza is flavorful, but it is a lot oily compared to pizzas from other places. I had a good time with a friend of mine in this restaurant, but other than the oily part in the pizza, everything is juicy and flavorful. The pepperoni slices are thin, but the cheese and the sauce is quite thick and plentiful. The waffle fries are tasty as well, and the only downside to this is that water refills in this restaurant is non-existent and you might have to request for it. Overall, 7/10 for the food, service is mediocre. read more

Emmy Squared serves some of the best Detroit-style pizza you'll find, with thick, airy crusts and perfectly caramelized edges that keep you reaching for another slice. The creative topping combinations are outstanding, and the famous Le Big Matt burger absolutely lives up to the hype. Add in a welcoming atmosphere and attentive service, and it's easy to see why Emmy Squared has developed such a devoted following. Whether you come for the pizza or the burger, you're in for a fantastic meal. read more

I love their pizza! It's the best around, and I love how thick it is and all the meat they put on it, the absolute best!

Ordered from this location for the first time in a while and was pretty disappointed. I usually order the VIP from the shaw location and it's always perfect. Unfortunately my order here was doused in extra Parmesan cheese which I know is a plus for many, but makes it way too heavy for me. My stomach was churning after one slice! Please list it on the menu as an ingredient and provide an option to remove it. It truly changes the experience for us lactose lite peeps. One of my pet peeves at any pizza joint. If you wouldn't top with red pepper flake without mentioning it why do it with parm? Maybe with parm is the standard though and the shaw location just forgets to put it on? Idk. They also went extra heavy on the Calabrian chilis which threw off the flavor. Pie was still hot upon delivery! read more

Expensive Pizza, was good, however +70$ for two pizzas, I can't afford to return. Lower prices might help get return customers

Idk why it took me so long to try this place. Holy crap! This pizza is GOOD!!!!! Crispy, cheesy, flavorful!! All the things!! It was great!! There were like two people in there when we went, so it was hard to get a feel of the vibe of the place but who cares- the pizza was amazing. Leftovers were a bit greasy but when you eat it fresh it doesn't taste that way at all. read more

We love Emmy Squared - for the food, atmosphere, and customer service! It's a great place for a happy hour (especially before picking up kids) and great for dinner out afterwards (including with the family) and takeout. Their pizza has become a Friday night family tradition, solid Detroit-style, generous with cheese, always new and unique options kids are willing to try and never disappointed. Emmy Squared is highly recommended! read more

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. read more

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. read more

This would be a 5+ experience if we could rate more. We recently came here with a very large group for mother's day. The staff was so incredibly accommodating as we rolled in with a large group without a reservation. Our server was so good at rolling with the punches. I've ordered from here before and enjoyed the food. But this was my first time dining in. I loved the open air ambiance -- it's a perfect spot to enjoy an indoor/outdoor experience during that short window of pleasant DC weather. My large extended family ordered several types of dishes but I have to say, what my partner and I ordered was the best. We started off with the roasted Brussel sprout salad. This was a hit and several of our family members asked to taste it, and continued to help finish it off with 2nd servings. But the biggest hit of the night was the margarita pizza. By far, this was my favorite. The regular cheese pizza was also tasty. The one pizza I did not love was the Hawaiian Pizza. I generally love a Hawaiian pizza but this one tasted overly sweet. It just wasn't to my taste. Overall though this was a 5 star+ experience. We will definitely be back. read more

I tried this place for lunch and I will never go back! Our server was too busy flirting with a guy at the bar and it took over 45 minutes for 4 pieces of pizza! Folks around us were sitting down after we did and got their food, ate and left before we got our lunch. Not only was she not attentive, she lied and said the kitchen had to make a new pizza to fill our order. Funny thing is that when our food finally came out, it wasn't even luke warm. One and done! read more

Emmy has been on my list for quite awhile and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to visit. The food was really good; wings, pizza, and burger. I think that was the biggest surprise. The food was a bit pricey and some of the dishes were a-la-cart, so being mindful when planning. The bartenders were nice and made good drinks, which is important in neighborhood spots like this. read more

Great pizza, Detroit style, and they give you choice of thickness. Excellent beer selection as well. Service was very good and we were never rushed read more

Typically love Emmy Squared pizza, but our pizza arrived with green fuzzy patches on the bottom. We were told it was definitely not mold, but then given various reasons as to why there was a mold-looking patches on our pizza - the knife, the oil, the pan. It was very unappetizing. Our server was very sweet, but the manager flippant, which was insulting, and not apologetic. I get it, restaurants are understaffed, overworked, and underpaid. This isn't a reflection of poor service, just a warning...check your pizza bottoms. read more

I gotta keep it real. I usually don't make a bad review and it's not about the service because I did not dine in it was actually pizza. A lot of people have been guiding me to this place to try this pizza and said it's very unique and very good. Maybe I had a bad Location maybe it was just a bad day but to me personally the pizza taste like it was frozen and me personally for the price this is unacceptable even though I ordered to go I had to wait a minute or two for the food to come out and I ate a piece as soon as I got in the car just so my judgment cannot be questioned. It was but the dough tasted like it was frozen, this is unacceptable especially for the prices. I may try this place again, but not on my dollar. read more

We were so tired from running around site seeing so we decided to stay in at the hotel and order pizza. Finding a place that had decent reviews, delivered or had a delivery service option that were good was more challenging than I thought. We decided Emmy Squared at the Navy Yard looked like our best option. This is our only pizza in the DC area and it was great! We ordered a Caesar salad, bread sticks and a make it your own Detroit style 8x10 pizza. Everything was packaged well and the hot stuff was still pretty warm despite the Uber Eats issue (don't know what it was, but we ended up with a different driver after Uber said the order was on the way). The salad was fresh and had an excellent dressing on it. It was just what my wife wanted instead of pizza 'this late'. Until she tried the bread sticks and then nothing was so heavy or too late. The bread sticks were cooked to perfection and had a great seasoning on them. The pizza was excellent and exactly what I hoped for. Cooked right, not doughy and had the crispy edges you hope a Detroit style pizza has. We really enjoyed our meal from Emmy Squared and have vowed to return when we visit Washington, D.C. in the future. read more

OMG BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA EVER!!! You can't even tell it's gluten free, thick fluffy crust and the regular is plenty for 2 people. The topping options are great but I got the good Pauline with bacon instead of sausage. Even the bacon was thick and crisp but still juicy. The caramelized onions had a nice sweetness that cut the richness of the Gouda. Seriously amazing, go. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday night and the restaurant was mostly empty except for the front where there were several people waiting to be greeted and sat by the host. The host was no where to be found. I believe we had to wait almost 5 mins until someone asked if we've been helped. Once we were sat, the service got a lot better. Can't remember her name but our server was really cool. I got a skinny marg and it was crazy strong. I was having trouble finishing it. We made our own pizza with our choice of toppings (bacon, mushrooms and onions). I actually loved the Detroit style pizza--especially the corner slices. I just wish the service and drinks were a bit better. read more

I went here with some friends for a girls catchup dinner and it was good! It is a very chill and laidback spot in Navy Yard. I ordered Colony pizza with Ricotta cheese and it was really good! (Note: if you see a speciality pizza that is almost perfect but has an ingredient you don't like, you can just tell the waiter). The Colony pizza was delicious and leaned a bit sweet with the honey so I enjoyed the addition of ricotta cheese (personal choice). The only reason that I can't give it 5 stars is because the pizza was a bit too saucy which made the deliciously golden dough a bit soggy. I think it will do good once crisped in oven a little longer. read more

This is my 3rd time having this restaurant and this time I decided to dine in vs takeout. And instead of ordering from the menu we did a create your own pizza and it came out pretty well. Also surprisingly enough the salad was good too. Sitting outside on a Friday night in the wharf at this place is a the perfect way to people watch and get fresh air. Def would recommend!

My husband and I dropped in and tried Emmy Squared at Navy Yard before a DC united game. Safe to say we were satisfied! We were seated almost immediately, and the restaurant was a cute casual moment. The wait staff were pleasant and quick with everything! Here's what we tried, The Chicken Parm Sandwich & Spicy Chicken Sandwich.... Both absolutely delicious! The flavors were there, the cook was there, and the bun complimented well! Our only qualm, and this is a personal preference... the double chicken breast was just too much. The sandwich would be perfect with one chicken breast IMO. The double is just so messy and kills the integrity of the sandwich. Nonetheless still delicious! The Caesar Salad was also delicious, a huge portion so perfect to share! The dressing (house made) was what elevated the salad. Great take on a simple Caesar. The Seasoned Waffle Fries were also big enough to share! Fries were fried to golden crispy perfection & seasoned well! Overall great experience & great food! Would definitely try some other menu items! read more
