2 Amys

This pizza place was rated best of DC in the Washington City paper (reader's poll) so we thought we needed to compare it to our lcoal favorite, Pizza Paradiso. We headed over on Tuesday. It is a relatively quick bus ride up Wisconsin. There beer menu is decent and we started with some potato croquetes that were just ok. Then cam the pizza. We ordered a stuffed pizza with Ripieno Basilico Ricotta, fresh mozzerella, grana, pesto, tomato which was really what I would call a calzone. This was AMAZING. Dough had the perfect consistency (for me), crisp on the outside yet chewy throughout, almost like a good bagel. We got the Santa Brigida pizza with Tomato, fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, arugula. This was also excellent. I would say though the dough is very similar to Paradiso, I liked 2 Amys better. On the pizza, I think the crust was just a hair two thin at 2Amys, leaving too little crust in your bit until you get to the end. Paradiso does better in this regard.
