Emmy Squared Pizza: Old Town - Alexandria, Virginia

I came with family as I had heard the food is delicious. We had the hot buffalo wings and the zia fries for starters. We then got two pizzas, one with grilled chicken and the other with fried chicken. Altogether, the food was okay, quite average in my opinion. What I will say is that the service was fantastic. Our server, Olsen was excellent. Polite, informed and friendly! Don’t know if I’ll go again, but overall we had a nice time.

Been on my pizza list for a while so glad to have checked it out. Detroit style, thick crust which I like but I go more traditional or thin normally. Good pizza, and good crust, a little doughy. I felt they needed more cheese and toppings, I got a pepperoni only on half my pizza and averaged 2 pieces of pepperoni per piece, see picture. For a $20 personal size pizza, that's pretty slim on toppings. Sausage and Pepperoni and the other half, sausage improves it significantly. Look to have some other good stuff on the menu too for a future trip, skillet pasta, waffle fries, etc. Worth a try if you haven't been. Street parking only, a fair amount of seating, we were greeted right away but it took us a while to get the check.

Holy Moly! This pizza was phenomenal. I love Detroit Style pizza as I lived in Michigan for 5 years and haven't been able to find it here. But this place did it exactly right! The sweet flavor of the crust and delicious spicy pepperoni were spot on. Even the square cut slices, despite what people think, I believe adds to the flavor somehow. Y'all gotta come down and try this pizza.

"Ordered off Uber Eats and the pizza was absolutely delicious and still very fresh." - ordered 5/10/25 I enjoyed my pizza so much that I ordered again a week later. Only this time, my wife almost choked on a broken sauce bottle tip that was covered in the sauce of the pizza. The video is from the first visit. The photo is from the second, as you can see, there was a foreign object on our pizza.

Yes! This place will be on repeat!! Just stumbled upon this place on King Street, and boy am I glad we did! After hanging out in old town, Alexandria and walking around touring shops, we were starving. Most of the restaurants were crowded with long waits, but Emmy Squared seemed to have had plenty of tables and seats. Not to mention the bar was open and no one was there as well. I was beginning to think this was a bad sign and a red flag, but it was explained later to me that they get a large number of takeout orders instead of folks eating inside on some night. Good this for us because….At first, we started to walk away, but I am so glad we did not. We enjoyed a relaxing time at the bar over several drinks that were on point …:.and strong might I add. Also, we ordered several pizzas to go. The vibe and atmosphere was very laid back, casual and nontouristy or crowded. Just like I like it and something that you will find rare in this section of Old Town Alexandria due to the tourist crowds. This made for an enjoyable experience as well. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Both the drinks and food delicious! The pizza is hands down one of the best in this area of VA and I would even go as far to say…. The DMV! Hour ago items came out in no time and due to the smells and warmth of the pizza box, I must say I couldn’t resist. I dive in on a couple of slices of pizza at the bar and was blown away! The pizza crust had this crispy, chewy buttery edges that were to die for, and the toppings (including the meats and veggies) were plentiful. To top things off I asked for extra sauce and the cook did not disappoint. There was sauce and cheese everywhere…. And, oh so good. The portion was more than enough to enjoy while in the restaurant and there was plenty to take home. Everything about the visit was awesome and a great experience. I plan to definitely come back when in the part of Old Town Alexandria again and again and again!!
