Martha Dear · Mount Pleasant
Martha Dear serves pizza from a compact Mount Pleasant dining room. Its carefully made pies and intimate setting make the place feel like a neighborhood restaurant built around the oven rather than a quick slice counter.
Timber Pizza Co. Petworth
Timber Pizza brings wood-fired pies to Petworth. The Upshur Street restaurant pairs its oven-driven menu with the ease of a neighborhood gathering place, making it a natural stop for a casual dinner.
2 Amys · Cleveland Park
One of the first Verace Pizza Napoletana-certified pizzerias in the country, running wood-fired Neapolitan pies alongside small-plate specials and a deep collection of salt-cured anchovies. Two decades in, it remains a reference point for the city's Neapolitan style, packed with families and off-duty chefs alike on a busy night.
Pizzeria Paradiso Dupont Circle
Ruth Gresser's wood-fired, from-scratch pizzeria has run since 1991, pairing a strong beer list with pies like the Paesana of spicy pesto, house-made chicken sausage, peppers, roasted escarole, broccoli rabe, ricotta, and mozzarella. One of the city's original from-scratch pizza operations, still expanding to new neighborhoods.
