    Menomale DC is hands down one of the best restaurants in the city. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a cozy neighborhood vibe that makes you feel right at home. The staff is friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do — they go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The food is absolutely incredible. The wood-fired pizzas are perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, with fresh, high-quality ingredients that make every bite burst with flavor. The pasta dishes are just as impressive — rich, authentic, and clearly made with care. And don’t skip dessert — the tiramisu is heavenly! Whether you’re here for a casual dinner, date night, or just craving authentic Italian comfort food, Menomale DC never disappoints. I can’t recommend it enough — a true gem in the heart of the city!

    This is one of the best Napoletana Pizza Restaurant. It is as if you are dinning in Italy where the mouth watering pizza is prepared. The atmosphere is family ornted. It is good place to take your young ones for a healthy pizza fun time. It is also good place to celebrate Birthdays and Engagements. Our Community is enhanced by their hardworking entrepreneurship. Mariya and her beloved husband Rusciano love our Community. The flavor is delicious, friendly staffs unforgettable experience and a great evening. You will not regret visiting Menomal Pizza.

    I had the pleasure of going to a pizza party happy hour at Menomale which was my first time. The pizzeria owner Mariya Rusciano gave a very frank discussion of two major issues facing small businesses in DC and the minimum wage laws. Also, about recent legislation on the Dram Shop laws facing DC Council. The authentic Neopliotan pizza was excellent! Great drinks and very nice atmosphere. I plan to tell friends about it and do plan to come again.
