The Top 11 Pizza Near 2Fifty
-
Rank 1. Stellina Pizzeria
Neo-Neapolitan Pizza
Stellina earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for a reason: the neo-Neapolitan pies coming out of that wood-burning oven are blistered, chewy, and genuinely great without costing a fortune. It's a casual counter-service spot in NoMa with colorful tiles, red stools, and an open kitchen that makes the whole place feel alive. The crowd is mostly neighborhood regulars and the occasional pizza pilgrim who did their homework. Bring cash for tiramisu on the way out.

Rank 2. All-Purpose
Pizza
All-Purpose is a sit-down pizzeria that takes its deck-oven pies seriously, and the long-fermented dough means the crust actually earns your attention rather than just holding toppings. The crowd skews young and neighborhood-ish, the kind of people who know to order the feta ranch for dipping. Italian-American sides round things out, and there are two locations if Navy Yard isn't your side of town.

Rank 5. Timber Pizza Co.
Neapolitan Pizza
Timber Pizza Co. is a no-reservations neighborhood pizza spot that's been buzzing since forever, and the line of to-go bags flying out the door tells you everything you need to know. The pies come in red, white, or green sauce, and ordering a half-and-half to cover your bases is genuinely smart here. The crowd is locals in hoodies who know the menu cold and visitors who are about to become regulars.
-
Rank 6. Martha Dear
Mediterranean
A skinny little pizza shop in Mt. Pleasant that punches well above its size, Martha Dear does Greek-inflected pies and small plates from a team with serious pedigree. The wood-oven pizzas are bright and herby, the bar is genuinely fun, and the crowd looks like people who live nearby and come twice a week. Order something to start, get a pie, and let someone talk you into dessert.

-
A strip-mall pizzeria that draws a line before the doors even open tells you everything you need to know. The chef came from fine dining and channeled all of that into blistered neo-Neapolitan pies that people genuinely drive across the metro area for. It's casual, it's loud, and the crowd is a mix of pizza nerds and families who all look equally pleased with themselves. Save room for the soft-serve on the way out.
