I have been searching for good pizza in the district since I moved here almost 2 years ago. Used to the thin crust pies I ate while growing up in Jersey and going to college in CT, Armand’s Pizza and the like just weren’t cutting it for me here in DC.
All this changed when I hit up 2 Amy’s on Wisconsin Ave. between Tenleytown and Glover Park (sort of a no-man’s land for Washingtonians) a few weeks ago. Wine bar + delicious pizza = my new home.
Conveniently located next to my yoga studio, I decided to give 2 Amy’s a shot on a Friday night. I had been warned that there would probably be a wait, but I didn’t mind knowing that i could grab a seat at the wine bar.
Arriving at 2 Amy’s at about 6:30, I was surprised by the decor and the atmosphere. I had expected a somewhat sophisticated locale, only to find a packed room full of families with loud kids running around. And when I say packed, I mean packed. The hostess told my friend and I that it would be at least a 45 minute wait. We decided to wait our turn despite the chaos.
