2 Amys is known for its unbelievably good Neapolitan style pizza. So good, in fact, that it has consistently garnered praise as the top pizza spot in all of DC. 2 Amys prepares its pizzas with ingredients in accordance with the Italian government, meaning only soft grain flour, fresh yeast, water and sea salt is used for the dough. Italian plum tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh basil or dried oregano are used as toppings. Throw in the fantastic beer selection and amazing appetizers, and this joint can do no wrong! Kreeger Museum | ©Payton Chung/WikiCommons
