2 Amys has been making Neapolitan-style pizza from its Macomb Street address in Northwest Washington since 2001, when owners Peter and Amy opened the restaurant. The room has held onto a cozy, old-school feel through more than two decades in the neighborhood.
The restaurant folds hospitality into its menu prices rather than relying on a tip line, a policy the owners explain comes from wanting to pay restaurant workers as professionals rather than leave their earnings to chance. Prices have risen over the years to account for inflation, but the owners say the underlying value has stayed close to what it was in 2001.
Washingtonian named 2 Amys among the city's best restaurants in 2025.
