Welcome to Two Amys in Washington D.C., United States. Two Amys specializes in the Neapolitan variety - puffy, yeasty and baked in a wood-burning oven - which it decorates with such finery as cockles, house-made pork sausage and mozzarella di bufala (the real deal), and prefers to serve the Italian way, uncut. Pizza isn't the only thing the kitchen does exceptionally well. There are lovely Italian nibbles (salt cod croquettes, fava bean crostini) to start, and simple, sensational desserts (the almond cake and Marsala-laced custard being my weaknesses) to close.Families tend to congregate in the front room, paved in tile and cheerful in yellow; those looking for a little tranquility with their pie know to snare a seat in the rear wine bar, with its softer lighting and charcuterie on display.
With its black-and-white checkered floors and unadorned yellow walls, this paean to simple pleasures has an airy urbanity. But show up during family dinner hours and it feels more like a romper room. Children are everywhere--downing pizzas and apple juice, scribbling on the tables, knocking into waiting patrons--the place doesn't take reservations. But there's a reason the kids make a ruckus--and the kid-free endure it all.
We look forward to welcoming you to Two Amys, Washington D.C., United States.
