See Fairfax Restaurant, Business Nominated For Top Dining Award

FAIRFAX CITY, VA — One Fairfax restaurant and a business that provides services for local restaurants are among the finalists for the 2025 RAMMYs, the regional restaurant and food service awards held by the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington.

The annual awards honor the accomplishments of the DMV's restaurant and food service community.

Andy’s Pizza, which has 11 locations in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, was included in the Fast Casual Restaurant of the Year category. Last June, the homegrown pizza chain opened its Fairfax City location at 10408 Fairfax Blvd. in the Point 50 shopping center.

Fairfax's other nominee is Preferred Insurance, which helps ensure that local restaurants are protected from the unexpected.

“Each year, the RAMMYS shine a light on the incredible talent, resilience and creativity that define our region’s vibrant hospitality industry,” said Shawn Townsend, RAMW president and CEO, in a news release. “This year’s finalists represent the heart of our community — from innovative entrepreneurs to the teams that deliver outstanding experiences.”

Although RAMW members will vote to choose the winners in a majority of categories, the public can cast ballots in these categories: Best Bar of the Year, Best Brunch of the Year, Hottest Sandwich Spot of the Year, and Favorite Gathering Place of the Year. Public voting will be open from May 1 to May 31.

Winners will be announced on Aug. 3, during The RAMMYS Awards & Gala, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. View the full list of 2025 RAMMY Awards Finalists.
