Best Pizzerias In DC List Includes 4 MoCo Restaurants

BETHESDA, MD — Food website Eater has updated its list of The Best Pizza Places in D.C., and four Maryland restaurants, all in Montgomery County, made the cut.

The editors said that the DC pizza scene is best represented by Neapolitan pizzas.

"The can’t-miss pies at Inferno Pizza Napoletana, puffy to the point of near weightlessness, are special enough to warrant a drive to Darnestown, Maryland," Eater said.

Here are the four Maryland pizza places praised by the food site:

Inferno Pizzeria Napoletana

M&N’s Pizza

Eater says: This Bethesda pizza shop made Yelp’s Top 100 U.S. Restaurants for its “whacky” pies that include Korean, Indian, Thai, Chinese, and even Mexican-leaning toppings. The shop is also famous for the fried dough pizzas, which are best covered in a curry with fresh diced aromatics on top.
