Inferno Pizzeria Napoletana

Wonderful food, wonderful service. Will definitely come back! Thanks Michael and Chef Tony??? The appetizers were Yay; the beetles and olives were excellent; I heard amazing things about the artichokes. All desserts were very happy, had four of them. Great beers. Pizzas were of course very nice. If a garlic or olive oil sauce or something to dive the remaining crust into it would have been perfect as the pizza crust is really good. Menu updates frequently; online reflected. *_Really_* estimates that high-quality ingredients are selected; consciously imported and bought fresh from local farmers markets. Care makes the difference. It is best to reach as early as possible for seating and dough availability. They give good clear estimates when you call (fyi them phone calls from 2 hours before they open) or ask at the door.

We were in Italy in April this year and was so impressed with food there. Back to the DMV region, everything goes back to normal again it is so hard to find good pizza here until we found Inferno. If Dante came and tried Inferno, he may rewrite his comedy. But why it took me 7 years to try to search for good pizza? Because if I hadn?t went to Italy and realized the true flavor of pizza, it will never be my choice of food. The most important part of course is the dough itself, plus the Italian way of using the best ingredients. You see the wood fired oven and smell that your food is coming. When, after a long wait, the pie is finally on the table, you pick up one slice, let the piece with just the right texture melts in you mouth. The whole experience cannot be easily described. Both appetizers we ordered are excellent too.

I cannot rate Inferno highly enough. I?m originally from New Jersey where it?s hard to find bad pizza, and had a hard time finding passable pizza in the DC area until Inferno opened its doors. Chef Tony?s pies are the best available. I highly recommend the Margherita it?s a pizza purist?s dream. Perfectly seasoned crust with some charred blisters, well balanced sauce (not sweet, not spicy, not acidic all three in perfect combination), and excellent cheese ratio. We usually add bacon to this pie. In addition to the fantastic pizza, Inferno offers a handful of remarkable apps (burrata is always available and so delicious) and show stopping desserts. If you like true DOC style pizza, you will love inferno.

First timer. Had the Margherita, and the Marinara w prosciutto. Loved the airy crust. From neighboring county. It?s out of the way but it was worth the trip. Highly recommend.

Love Inferno!! The staff and servers are friendly, the food delicious, and I really appreciate that they are being responsible, smart, and conscientious about the health and safety of their customers and staff during a global pandemic! Also, if you can book a pasta tasting, highly recommend!!
