The only place in the area that serves pizza montanara! A Naples staple for which we have been searching high and low. The Margherita pizza was excellent as well. Quick, efficient, friendly, it was a great visit. Looking forward to sitting in next time. read more

Wow! What a hidden gem. Wasn't expecting to love this place as much as I did, but the pizza was amazing! Extra points for having gluten-free options as well. Service was super quick and overall it was a great environment. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Menomale NoMa - Prosciutto Cotto (Ham) Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Delicious pizza! We tried the Diavola Roman Pizza and the Margherita Neapolitan Pizza. I preferred the flavor and texture of the Roman pizza (reminded me of a Detroit style pizza) while my date preferred the Neapolitan pizza. One thing to note is that the spicy soppressata salami on the Diavola was quite strong in terms of pork flavor - I think it paired well with the rest of the dish, especially the red peppers, though. Service was alright. When we walked in we were asked if we wanted a wine menu (we said no, thank you), were seated promptly, and were given our choice of water (we went for filtered tap) and were given a bottle for us to refill our glasses ourselves throughout the meal. After we got our food our server was gone for a while, and an unhoused individual came inside and started harassing customers - at first he asked for water, then after getting a glass kept asking for customers' wine. There was only one employee to deal with him until a customer told him he'd buy him a soda if he'd leave the establishment, and it was only after he left that our server came back out to check on us. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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). read more

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. read more

Pretty decent pizza place, I would say it's my second favorite pizza place in the city. I've been to both locations and although the other location is my favorite, this location has a more extensive menu. When trying a new pizza place I always recommend going for a basic Margherita pizza, it is a good baseline to decide on the quality of the pizza of a place. read more

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. read more

Great experience on a Sunday afternoon! Got a last minute reservation (which wasn't needed). Food/drinks: gluten free, dairy free pizza! Yes please! Marinara DOM was simple but really delicious. Very thin pizza, which I don't always love, but the crust was flavorful as were the toppings. (I got to sample the margarita as well, which was very good but not cheese free.) Service: good! Too fast, actually, but he was understanding after we needed even more time to settle in. They made a mistake with the order, quickly rectified it, and gave us an extra pizza in the process! Easily accommodated a baby with a booster seat. Ambiance: Now this is the star. Very cool place. The vibe was nice, even in the middle of a Sunday afternoon. I love the tile work and the Vespa chilling by the bathroom area. I'm excited to try the Brookland location next! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Best Pizza in DC! Highly recommend! I Visited DC and went to Menomale after numerous recommendations and it was fantastic!

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. read more

Amazing food and service was exceptional! We arrived around 5pm on a Friday and they said we needed reservations but accommodated us even though we didn't have reservations. We sat at the bar and the bartender Brenda was so friendly! She chatted with us and make great drinks! The food was amazing! We had pizza, lasagna and a gluten free pasta. Everything was very authentic and freshly made! It was so good that we went back the next day!! read more

We decided to come to this location since we have visited the other location. I have to say, I felt more comfortable at the other location. The pizza (margarita with pepperoni) and the chocolate truffle dessert were delicious. But my lemon cake was dry. It almost felt like it needed some sort of sauce. The service was great. This location is way bigger than the other. And next door they have a little Italian grocery shop. read more

I love calzones, especially made the old style way with ricotta. I may have caught you guys on an off night literally minutes before closing time but I just wanted to let you guys know about the recent order of your calzone. Unfortunately it wasn't something I think I would order again. Can you please see the pictures. The dough was a bit undercooked, not a lot of color, and the fillings were cold. When I went to tear it in half there was no steam or cheese pull, just a watery mass that plopped in the box. It was a watery soaked mess as you can see. Kinda gross. Love you guys and have ordered in the past. Just wanted to bring it to your attention. Thanks and look forward to trying something again soon! read more

Possibly one of the best Neapolitan pizzas I've had in DC. It checked all the boxes: the crust was chewy, thin, and very flavorful, the sauce had great balance of sweetness and tang, cheese was fresh and mild. Plus the 12-inch pizza is huge and loaded with toppings - took me 3 days to finish and definitely worth the buck ($17). I ordered takeout but the audience in the restaurant looked very cute. I saw many families and friend groups dining in. The service was quick and I got my food within 20 mins of ordering. Pro-tip always heat up your pizza in a pan with, medium to low heat, a few drops of water, and lid on - the bottom crisps up nicely and makes it taste almost fresh out of the oven! read more

Some of the worst pizza I've had in my 47 years on this Earth. We got delivery through an app and I know that can be hit or miss but the crust was extremely undercooked; can't blame that on the delivery. The sauce was bland and even the pepperoni and the sausage were bland. Do not recommend. read more

Absolutely delicious pizzas operated by an Italian family. There is also a cute supermarket next door. We ordered Neapolitan pizza which supposedly has thin crust but these have rather thick ones. I really enjoyed the Diavola which was marked as spicy but more of a tomato flavor. The Di Ettore is a chef special but I just wish that it has more sauce. read more

Was in the DC area last week for a gig several locals suggested menomale for pizza. My Tour Manager arranged for five pies to be brought to the venue and we went down and picked them up. The staff was super kind. One even helped to carry them to our bus. I couldn't help it but to grab a slice before my other bandmates got to them lol the pizza was delicious. Nothing like I've ever had before. The band and crew were very happy with the pizza not a single slice or piece of crust was left. I can't wait to return to DC and come back here for a dine in experience! Thank you Menomale read more

One of the best pizza joints on the East coast. Came all the way from CA. Perfectly cooked crispy crust pizza, to-die-for gnocchi, and the nicest staff in DC. Stopping by this place every time in DC from now on. Lead with what you believe! 45-47 read more

Went here for dinner during a fun museum trip for our Granddaughter' birthday. Couldn't have made a better choice. We all ended up ordering pizza, and it was great. This is the real deal, from the crust all the way up. At our table, we ended up with several Quattro Formaggi, Salsiccia, and Margherita options, as well as house salads. Among 8 of us (with 2 kids), we ate almost everything. That was all great, but the star of the show may have been dessert. We don't typically do dessert out, but hey, it was a birthday. All the adults went with the cannoli. Very good. And the kids went with the Marshmallow Pizzetta. OMG, that thing is great! Had a little alcohol too, so this ended up being a bit pricey. But it was worth it and a great experience. read more

Love Menomale. Seriously good Neopolitan-style pizza. Love the diverse offerings, my personal favorite is the Salsiccia. Note that depending on your appetite, one pizza per adult is probably advised. Highly recommend Menomale. It is my go to spot for pizza in Brookland! read more

This restaurant was just across the street from our hotel so my friend and I thought we would try it out. We are so glad we did, the food was excellent. We had a memorable experience. Our server was Jose and he was so professional that I thought he was the owner. He suggested the Vivace Insalate salad and we loved the strawberries and feta cheese. We also had the Salsiccia pizza and lemon cake and both were excellent. The decor of the restaurant was simple, clean, and charming. I wish they had this place back home! read more
