    Amazing pizza, pasta, bread, desserts, ambience, service (thanks Jennifer) makes this worthy of five stars! The Napoleon style pizzas were fantastic because they made the dough fresh everyday! We had the Burrata and the Salsiccia! The Buratta was mellow and light while the Salsiccia was robust and flavorful! The Caprese salad was so good. The mozzarella was perfect and smooth. It was one of the best ones I've ever had. The focaccia bread was so chewy and hot. The lemon cake was one of the. It was one of the best desserts I've ever had. It was like a pound cake with the most delicious light frosting. So worth it!! Can't wait to come back here!

    Lucky to have found this awesome pizza place near Capitol Hill. This really sums up the meal from their website: "bring authentic Neapolitan pizza to life. Every dish is crafted with passion, using the freshest ingredients and traditional wood-fired techniques straight from Naples, Italy. Whether you're visiting for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, our cozy atmosphere and flavorful creations will make you feel right at home." Usually marketing and reality dont match, but in this case, they were perfectly aligned, and I did not have to go to Italy, plus the staff made us feel as if we had traveled to Naples.

    White base pizza with sausage and pepperoni. Simple but delicious

    Great authentic Italian restaurant. Small but efficient. I love the minimalist Italian decor. Food is reasonable, customizable and delicious. They have two different styles of pizza. Thin round crust and the thicker dough that resembles a deep dish. The quarter size will def get you full with plenty to take home. Sauce tastes fresh and they make everything close with an open kitchen and pizza frystone area.

    We love it here! We've tried several of their pizzas and love all of them, and I love their bruschetta! It's nice and clean inside with an attached little market.

    PHENOMENAL!!! I am a HUGE pizza lover but I have never been able to find THE BEST PIZZA, until our most recent trip to DC we just happened to be staying close by and my husband chose Menomale and holy smokes! This pizza is HEAVENLY!

    Fusilli - 3 stars. Pretty average, pasta quite soft, sauce a little runny, but my kids enjoyed it. Fri dinner 2024-04-12

    A decent Italian spot for lunch; we came because they had room for 17 of us, reserved a few weeks in advance. $462 total for dinner for 8 adults and 9 kids, including a few drinks and desserts. * Bruschette Bufala ($12) - 2 stars Nothing special - the bread was a little stale, the tomato not the most ripe. The arugula did not stay on the bread. Like something you might whip up in your kitchen with average Safeway ingredients. * Stuffed Gnocchi ($21) - 3 stars This is the most spherical gnocchi I've ever had. Not very soft. * Fusilli - 3 stars Pretty average, pasta quite soft, sauce a little runny, but my kids enjoyed it. * Prosciutto Cotto (Ham) Pizza Napoletana ($17) - 3 stars I suppose the "ham" should have given it away, but just note the topping is not prosciutto, but really just slides of ham, maybe even cold cut ham. The crust had a crunch but the inside was not as soft and stretchy as many pizza napoletanas I've had out there. * Diavola (spicy) ($18) - 3 stars I didn't even realize this was supposed to have spicy salami, I didn't taste it at all. Again just ok, and the red pepper pieces were very small. * PIZZA IN TEGLIA ALLA ROMANA Salsiccia This was decent. A thicker crust than the napoletana style. The meat was not very evenly distributed, so some slices had a ton of meat and others barely any. * La Bomba ($8) - 3 stars Pretty much what you'd expect for nutella-filled pizza crust! You do get a couple pieces. * Tiramisu ($9) - 3 stars Fine, a little small (a single serving cake that comes in a plastic cup).

    Margherita Pizza ($16)

    Very delicious Neapolitan-style pizza! In my opinion, there are only two places for pizza in NoMa - Andy's and Menomale. Both amazing, but different styles. If you are looking for something smaller and quicker, try Menomale. If you have a large party to feed, get Andy's.

    Lemon cake, solid 8/10. Moist and light.
    Angel T.

    Great pizzas, tried the 2 types and seriously we all loved them both. The tiramisu And lemon cake amazing! The tiramisu may be one of the best I have tried.

    Pizza Margherita
    Fernando M.

    If you are looking for good Neapolitan pizza, go here. The experience was great. The staff is friendly, the ambiance reminds of a classic modern Italian pizzeria, and the pizza is really good, you can tell ingredients are fresh and they know what they are doing. If you are seriously into pizza and familiar with traditional Italian pizza recipes, this place is worth a try, it's probably one of my top 3 pizza places in DC now. This particular location has a gas oven though, that being said, it's one of the best gas oven pizza I've tried in general, I've had gas oven pizzas in Italy that were not as good as this one. There was a little inconsistency in flavor, which can happen and it might even be a good sign of freshness --my wife's pizza was more flavorful than mine even though we ordered the same kind of pizza; and sauce acidity was a little too high over all. Dough was really good and I love that they put enough olive oil on top, step that a lot of pizzerias ofter neglect. Overall Menomale is a very good pizzeria, go, try it.

    I came here for lunch and to get some work done. The service was great and margarita pizza was good. I would return to try their pasta!

    Stuffed gnocchi
    Melissa S.

    I had the stuffed gnocchi and I've never had anything like it before! Super flavorful and delish! I would recommend it as an appetizer to share though because while I'm sure it's plenty of calories, I found it was not very filling as an entree. My husband tried the pizza and says it's now in his top 5 pizza spots in DC. The olive oil they put on the pizza and on the gnocchi is really flavorful, I wanted to take home a bottle! It's a casual place but the food tastes like it came from somewhere fancy. Would be a good date night spot!

    Nikki M.

    Yes all around! If you're craving amazing pizza please look no further than Menomale. I got the Margherita pizza Roman style which is their version of a deep dish. Simple ingredients bursting with flavor! I'd love to try the classic version of the pizza and see how they compare. I had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon which was absolutely delicious. And finally I can't forget the dreamy and perfectly favored Cannoli for desert. They flavor the treat with orange zest and having studied abroad Italy with quite a bit of experience with cannolis, this was by far my favorite one I've ever had. It was surprisingly not busy at all on a Sunday afternoon, but service remain absolutely attentive and helpful. So happy to have this gem of a resturant in my neighborhood I can't wait to explore more of the menu!

    Feta fries and vivace salad
    Toni Rose D.

    I had brunch here with friends on a Saturday morning and it's definitely a gem. I went with what the server recommended which were the vivace salad and the Parmesan gnocchi. It did not disappoint. I haven't had gnocchi in a long time and it was everything I missed. And for dessert, gelato. Our server checked in on us regularly and made sure we were good. The ambiance is a really cute one. All the designs and decorations caught our eye and was one of the reasons we decided to eat here.

Service: can't say much because it's a pizza place and we only order and take our food.

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.

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.

From the time I arrived they made me feel special and wasn't even wearing anything that said it was my birthday. I brought a cake with me and I was going to ask how much they charge for storage and they told me "Nothing, it's free of charge". They relieved me so much. Now for the atmosphere, it was so so elegant in there even thinking about it now makes me want to go back just to stare at those wax candles that creates mountains of dripped wax which is its own kind of art. Next, let's take about the mouthwatering and delicious food we had. I ordered the Vodka Sauce Pasta and it was the perfect amount of heat and flavor. I also got a side of garlic bread and it was so crispy, light, buttery, and garlicky, just like I like it. My husband ordered the Drunken Love Pizza and of course I had to try a slice and WOWWWW. That one slice of pizza had me drooling it was so yummy!! Everyone enjoyed their food and it was great time. Now, on to my cake, I'd brought candles, plates, and even a knife with me to cut the cake. To my surprise, they brought the cake out with lit candles and everyone sung Happy Birthday to me. They even cut and served the cake to us. Keep in mind, there was not a charge on the bill for this either. It truly made my birthday even more special. Grazie Nonna, you don't understand how happy you made me feel that day. Thank you so much for the love shown on my special day. I will forever tell people this story. Thank you!
