Fantastic pizza! We had a "Sicilian" (still thin crust) with eggplant, tomatoes, and Kalamata olives, and it was really unctuous and tasty. The pricing was ambiguous for carry out, but the call-in service was timely. read more

We walked in at 5:00 and the place was completely empty. Should have known right then. After no greeting, the owner handed us a menu. 1 chicken parm and 1 chicken Marsala, both $18. 2 drinks $3.00 each. He rang us up - "that will be $56.80". I paid him without thinking then did the math again. I said shouldn't that be about $44? He looked annoyed then pulled cash out of his pocket and gave me $12 back. Should have left then too. We sat and he brought 2 plates, one Marsala and one bowl of spaghetti with sauce. I looked for the chicken and asked, should t this be chicken parm? He angrily told me that the spaghetti was for my wife and to "calm down". 10 minutes later he brought deep fried chicken parm. Neither dish was good. The Marsala was floating in oil. Plastic utensils only, the place was dirty and generally unkept. Save your money, don't go. read more

I have been here more than once because the pizza was ok. This time, I ordered an ex-large deep dish cheese pizza ($5 more). It was not very large and it was "not" a deep dish. The staff said the manager was not there and after repeated calls could not get someone to handle this. The place was completely empty at lunch time so I'm guessing it is because of the terrible customer service. read more

The view is great and there's good pizza! They gave me napkins too since they didn't have any dispensers.

I came here on a school trip and ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The chicken was actually really good, but everything else about the meal was disappointing. Some of the pasta was raw and hard to chew, and the Alfredo sauce mostly tasted like straight butter instead of a creamy Alfredo sauce. On top of that, the food was cold when it came out and it took forever to get our meals. Overall, the experience was frustrating and not worth the wait. read more

Very good food as it was warm the service was excellent as thy served us all about 30 with respect very good inside to

I love the pizza at Quattro Formaggi! It reminds me of the pizza I had in New York. There are lots of choices on the menu, and I adore Pizza L'Amour. It's delicious. I love their pizza topping choices in the Gourmet New York Style Pizza section of their menu. Last night, I had tiramisu in an overly priced Italian restaurant in Old Town, and Quattro Formaggi's tiramisu is a lot better. The people who work there are nice, too. read more

I got bamboozled! I ordered a margarita pizza based on the reviews and the picture they posted. When I got it delivered, it was weird looking pizza. The cheese was not mozzarella, it was missing the big tomatoes. It was watery. I ordered it extra chrispy crust. So bazzar!!! It even tasted weird, it was tangy. It had those cheap Romanian tomatoes on it. read more

Probably my least favorite pizza place in Old Town thus far. I got takeout and my leftover pizza wasn't even worth sticking in the fridge for later. I knew I wouldn't finish it. I maybe had two bites of the garlic bread before moving on. Feel like due to its location this place is really there for the train and hotel crowd. They're not looking to attract repeat customers, just convenient for people passing through. Prices aren't bad and the staff is nice, otherwise it would be one star read more

So I ordered Lasagna to go. The person working the counter asked me to pay cash rather than use my card. I did not like that. The food was not great. From an ambiance perspective nothing great. I will not be back. read more

Food is sub par. Service is good. Place is a dump. Sad that it's right at the embassy suites but dirty and not appealing to the eye at all.

They have a solid baked ziti with vegetables. The pasta and vegetables are just right. At least for dinner, it comes with a nice side salad. I have been in here twice for dinner, and it was empty both times. It seems to be that most people come in for take-out pizza. They have a nice seating area outdoors. Inside seating is basic. The price seems to be reasonable for the area. read more

So much hype for this place but it's just an "ok" pizza, nothing more. Staff is friendly and helpful but service is slow even when empty. It's not that convenient as it sits on a main Street that has no parking. You have to walk a bit to get to it from wherever you are coming. The salads are just "blah". Lots of seating area inside but a bit crammed up for my liking. read more

Gross - Saw staff preparing food without those plastic gloves on and they were also running the cash register, very unsanitary. Happened more than onceI don't think they realized they are not in their own kitchen at home but actually running a restaurant, read more

Forgot items, took order for caprese salad and when I arrived they wanted to sub out a lesser priced salad to replace it. Pizza was ok.

If you want to eat at a mom & pop type spot, this is the place. It's definitely a lot bigger than what it seems from the outside. They do have outdoor seating. The service behind the counter is pretty good and there isn't table service. So you have to clear your own dishes. It's a NY pizza joint but they have some other dishes. I had the chicken kabobs for lunch and they were delicious. My friend had their personal white pizza, which was also very good, and it can feed two. When you pay for your food with a card listen carefully... the card reader connects to the internet with dial-up service! Now that's old school! read more

same as it ever was! you know 85 characters is a lot of pressure, but this has been in my draft for a few years anyways it's a good spot to get some decent pie read more

Good service; the pizza was just as advertised; the price was reasonable; and it was tasty! Two pizzas was enough pizza for our family of nine people (2 adults and 7 kids), with some left over at the end. This location is very convenient for people staying at the Embassy Suites in Alexandria near the King Street / Old Town Metro station. read more

Yelp yelp yelp doing this business dirty. I feel obligated to write this review because 3.5 stars kept me away from this gem! Now I'm mad I could've been enjoying this place for years as I travel quite often to the area. OK the ambiance is nothing great -- old school pizzeria, not a problem for me at all. It is clean and the food smells....bliss. Upon entering a nice gentleman came out to explain they were expecting bus loads of kids and would we mind dining outside. It wasn't the best weather but after a day in office I enjoyed being outside and under a cover as rain drops did begin to fall towards the end of my visit. I started with a garden salad with house Italian dressing then went with the recommended award winning Bianca margarita pizza (pictured). Wish I had a picture of the salad but I wolfed that yumminess down in record time! So fresh and the housemade dressing Next was that awesome pizza. Hot, decadent, bursting with flavor, the ricotta, the basil the garlic Let's get some more positive reviews for this great establishment. Everyone was so warm and friendly, we finished right as the youngsters arrived. Those kids have some smart trip coordinators for choosing this place. read more

Quattro Formaggi - House Bianca Margarita - Italian Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I've passed Quattro Formaggi many times so I finally decided to try it. First impression walking in I was unsure if they were open as the lighting was dark/half the interior lighting was not on. Upon ordering, the older gentleman working the register asked us to pay in cash. We stated we only had enough to tip in cash not enough for the entire meal. He became frustrated and said he preferred cash, which is understandable for small business especially during covid however, he was very rude about it. Had we known or there been a sign prior to ordering we certainly would've brought more cash. We put all the cash we had in the tip jar and even tipped on our credit card and the man went into the tip jar picked up the money and threw it back in there as if it wasn't enough. Next I asked where the restroom was so I could wash my hands. He grew angry again and said the bathrooms don't work but I could use the one on the left. Once our pizza and bruschetta arrived we asked for plates at which time the gentleman was rude again and could not understand why we wanted plates. I noticed while there only two people came and both ordered to go. I think based on the above comments it could be why. The bruschetta was by far the best I've ever had. The bread was lightly toasted and the slices were big and boasting in flavor. The BLT pizza was also delicious! read more

We stopped in for a pizza after a movie. Unfortunately it wasn't very good. The crust was perfect, but the overall pizza was just ok. We got beverages from out of the fridge, but I believe they were all expired drinks. I was the only one who finished mine because it was just water. The employees were very friendly and the space seemed adequate. I would not return. read more

Best New York style in Alexandria by far. This place is so great. I feel bad for the small family that runs the shop and has been for over 20 year that has all these bad reviews. Has been my favorite pizza spot forever. They do have thin slices and its not over the top pizza but you get exact what you want, a good pie from good people. Really recommend anyone to try it. Best New York style in Alexandria by far read more

We enjoyed several meals here while staying at the Embassy Hotel. We kept coming back because there was an excellent variety of Italian and Persian dishes. We never got bored with their menu as there lots of choices to match your mood. The service was great and prices were reasonable given their touristy location. There's an abundance of indoor and outdoor seating. The beverages are in a refrigerated display case behind the counter and they don't seem to rotate their beverages appropriately, resulting in an occasional flat soda. I switched to bottled water to avoid that problem. Aside from that, we were very pleased with their menu offerings and would return to them on a future visit. read more

Service was not good. Had to find someone to ask for check. Food was ok. Had pizza salad and spaghetti. Sauce had strange taste. Salad was sparse. Served only bottled drinks. Essentially demanded cash for payment. There is way better out there for the money. Try Bugsey's just down the road read more

First time back post pandemic. Same great pizzas for a small shop just off of the Embassy Suites. Had white pie with mushrooms, bacon, and salami. Very yummy. Fast service. read more

This was definitely not what I expected, based on the yelp photos and the website, which looks very nice. Every single surface is so sticky. They only begrudgingly take credit cards even though it says they'll take cards in the window. Didn't get a receipt so no idea if we were charged correctly. Even though it's Saturday lunchtime and the Christmas market is running just outside the door, there are only two guys working (probably explains why the tables aren't bussed or wiped). The water is "not good" which makes me wonder what they cook with. On to the food... kids chicken tenders were way way over cooked - rubbery, inedible. Fries were weirdly seasoned. Mama veggie pizza was actually pretty good - so they get an extra star just for that. Otherwise it'd be one star. read more

Great food, made to order. Arrived for lunch. Lots of inside&outdoors seating Had the spinach & garlic calzone, and it was one of the best I've had in a long time. Colleague had the salmon salad and said it was great as well. Service was friendly. Lunch script is a little unusual. Come inside and Order at the counter. Go find a bottle drink at the car end of the restaurant (don't currently have fountain drinks). Sit down. You will be called for your order. Pay when you pick up or are finished. A little slow for food to come out, but on par for a calzone. I'll be back! read more

I think calling the pizza here NY style is a stretch! I ordered a large pie, two orders of wings and picked up a large pre-made Cesar salad. The food was average. There's indoor and outdoor seating available. I felt like the inside conditions of the restaurant could've been better. The older woman who prepared the food was nice and friendly, but the guy who I assume owns the place was a little rude and dismissive. He didn't acknowledge us at all, and acted like we didn't even exist. Good customer service goes a LONG way! I guess his poor attitude is why the restaurant was 100% empty during our visit. I would give the food 3 stars, but took a star away because of the dirty restaurant and the managers bad attitude. read more

We were on our way to Pot Belly's but it was a downpour while walking so we came here instead. My friend is from NY and very critical of the pizza. In his opinion- this was not NYC style....... However, he did like it. He just didn't care for having chicken with his pepperoni pizza..... why order it then ‍. He did enjoy his calamari as well even though it wasn't hard fried like he requested. I was boring and just had a grilled chicken salad which was very large with home made garlic croutons. It's a nice spot serves mostly the business and hotel folks in the Old Town area Everyone working was very pleasant, and the bathrooms were very clean. read more

The pizza tastes good. It's just that it has a very very thin crust. Now if you like a New York-style pizza you will probably like it... but trust me, you will need to eat more than one slice to feel full, Especially for the price of $31.00 dollars ( and 15 percent tip). read more

So we ordered a bacon cheeseburger pizza, wings and an Italian sub. Wings were good, but they are baked and seasoned, not sauced and fried like traditional buffalo wings. Ranch was delicious. Italian sub was good, but we asked for it hot/toasted and those instructions were not followed. On to the pizza.... I ordered a BACON cheeseburger pizza. Upon opening the pizza, amongst the anemic topping portions, it looks like it has ground beef and ham. I call up the restaurant and tell them that they put ham on my pizza instead of bacon. As others have echoed in other reviews, the manager told me that this establishment uses turkey bacon, not real bacon. Had I seen the reviews on yelp first, I never would have ordered it. He further goes on to tell me that "people like it better this way". He also told me that "people like the fact that it has turkey bacon because of covid". I guess i didn't get the memo that covid spreads more easily through pork products. I proceeded to tell him that he needs to change his menu to reflect what he is actually selling. Clearly it is a problem as it has been mentioned in at least three other reviews. read more

Quattro Formaggi - Most anemic "Bacon" cheeseburger pizza ever. Could have at least dispersed the few toppings that were there more evenly. - Italian Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Very reasonably priced and tasty pizza. I ordered for take out but wasn't offered napkins, pepper flakes or Parmesan cheese.

Our GLS students & chaperones on tour from California had the distinct pleasure of dining at this wonderful Italian restaurant for our first dinner. The owner greeted us so kindly and staff quickly served the group. Our choices were the spaghetti with meatballs, chicken fettuccine, and eggplant parmesan and salad. Generous portions and amazing flavors. Highly recommend! read more

Staying next door in the Embassy Suites and decided to grab dinner here since it was so close. All of the good reviews were for the pizza but we decided to give the pasta a try. Ordered the quattro formaggi fettuccine, added chicken, and it was so good Came with delicious garlic bread and a huge side salad with a homemade Italian dressing. Atmosphere was quiet and clean, and the employees were extremely nice and attentive. Can't wait to try the pizza next! Highly recommend! read more

Photos and menu are completely deceiving. I ordered hand tossed and instead got very thin floppy crust and was told it's all the same (even though it's two different options on the menu). Greek salad was mostly giant carrot sticks? The ranch was the best part of the meal. read more

Ordered 7 XL pies for delivery to local hotel for. Family gathering. Called two days ahead and delivery was perfect, on time and friendly. Pizza was hot and every slice fresh and delicious.
