Menomale

Had the margharita on a recent visit to DC. Came with my brother and his family. The had other pizzas that were also scrumptuous. The toppings were all fresh and reminded me of the pizza I had in Naples...the dough was a meal in and of itself, which is what i want when its pizzaService was excellent, esp by USA standards. The waiter could answer all our question. Thanks

Finally, I found my gluten free dairy free pizza joint in this city! Ordered delivery through a food app and customized my pizza. The crust was surprisingly thick for GF. Sauce was sweet and not overpowering. Toppings were all fresh and prominent, and it didn't taste strange without cheese. And it's a normal size pizza! As long as they stay consistent like this, I'm sold!

We ordered the margarita pizza with pepperoni. A tiramisu and cannoli for dessert. It was all absolutely delicious. The service was excellent. The gentleman that waited on us was very helpful. This was definitely worth the visit. It's a small place but cute and cozy. Highly recommendation Day 2 of my vacation and I am here again. Same pizza but different dessert. We had La Bomba and lemon cello truffle.

I've been coming to this restaurant for several years and it's always great! Service + food is always 5 stars. This location is right off of 12th & Franklin St in NE DC.This time we ordered 2 pizzas (diavolo and Prosciutto cotto). Both were very good! I liked the spiciness of the diavolio best; bae liked the other one best). Together, they were a great contrast! I LOOOVE their pizza crust!! If you want the pizza cut into slices, you have to request this. Even if I forget to ask, it's not difficult to do it myself.We also got the La Bomba (dessert). We've ordered this many times in the past because it tastes great! It's a warm dessert of pizza dough filled with nutella. That description doesn't fully reflect its deliciousness, but you should try it! One order comes with 2 pieces.

My opinion of Menomale is complicated. The food is amazing. If you know actual Italian (not Italian-American), then this is your place. That said, it's too loud when it is busy, and the noise bounces off of the tiles. They should invest in some movable Japanese screens to put between tables (the tall ones) to block noise. Also, the staff can be cranky. One time I got so mad at a waiter I didn't come back for two years! But seriously, the food is so good... it kind of makes up for all that. You KNOW a place is good when I'm meh on the staff and the noise is off the charts, but I still go, and I still give it five stars.

I got the diavola : excellentMy friend got another pizza, I can't remember the name, but it was bland. Maybe from the pizza pic it can be figured out.They have nice seating but the tables are close together. I liked their patio seating too. Bathroom is clean. Parking is in the street or there is an adjacent shopping center with a free lot.The main issue I have is the service. This isn't the place to chill out. They seem to want customers in and out, especially as it approaches their closing time. I get that staff want to leave but I've been many other za places and this one did stand out. Maybe take out is better suited for them?

If you haven't tried Meomale, you don't know what you're missing! This is the very best pizza in DC! I've been coming here for years and hope it never changes!!

Pizza is delicious and fresh! Love this place and the best employees too. Ate here 3 times during the week I was recently visiting DC. If you're in town definitely check it out!

Best pizza in DC! One of the most family friendly environments in town. Will be returning!

Thanks in advance for taking care of the Republicans in DC during this forthcoming, and magical, transformation. When I get the first opportunity I promise to visit your site and gorge on many combo pizzas! Stay safe and have a "beautiful" '25!! S. Cataldo
