Andy's Pizza Ballston — Restaurant in Arlington

This is the best pizza I've had in the DC area. Is it the best pizza of my life? No, but the DC area is not a mecca for great food.

I moved here from SoCal, & I miss having 5 star eateries every which way you turn. The DC area is not the place if you're a foodie.

So, when you do come across rare gems of actually really good food, you really appreciate it. Andy's is one of them. Large, flat slices of flavorful pizza. On point.

I ordered the carnivore slice on opening day for a late lunch. Reasonably priced slice. I'd definitely return. Employees were friendly. The interior is designed really well. It is a nice fast casual pizzeria with a medium sized dine in area. Good ambience & vibe. Welcoming atmosphere.

So glad this is in my building. I've been waiting for it to open for months. Always appreciate when there's a resident side entrance.

I've tried the Andy's in alexandria & really liked it. I'm sure this will be a super popular spot since there isn't much in terms of good pizza options nearby.

Update: soooo happy this is in my building & open late. I got back at 10pm from a flight & was hungry. Good thing there's Andy's downstairs. Good pizza=good comfort food.

Also, I really like the dim lighting in the eating area....

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND READ THIS. I’ve eaten pizza all over the world, but NOTHING prepared me for the religious experience that is Isaiah’s pizza mastery. This man doesn’t just make pizza—he creates PURE ART. From the moment he started tossing that dough, I knew I was witnessing greatness. The perfect crust? Chef’s kiss The cheese pull? INSANE. The flavors? They hit different when the GOAT is behind the counter. Isaiah’s attention to detail is unmatched. Every ingredient perfectly balanced, every slice cut with precision, every customer treated like family. The passion this man brings to his craft is infectious—you can literally TASTE the love in every bite. THE PIZZA: 11/10 (yes, ELEVEN out of ten) THE SERVICE: Isaiah makes you feel like a VIP THE EXPERIENCE: Life-changing, no exaggeration I’m not even exaggerating when I say Isaiah has ruined all other pizza for me. This is peak pizza performance. The man is a LEGEND. If you don’t come here and experience Isaiah’s magic, you’re doing yourself a massive disservice. TRUST ME. Isaiah = 🐐 CONFIRMED. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Actually, DEMAND that you experience this...

Did not meet expectations from a NYC tristater. For north VA I guess it's considered good 4 stars only coz ppl here do not know what a pizzeria really should be serving. No Pizza oven, rolled too flat pressing out air pockets, uses conveyor belt oven to reheat which just burns the F outta it, looks like it should be solid base but not, maybe new staff but 100% clueless This place is just a fast sit-down that happens to serve their bastardized pizza...is it NOT a pizzeria, NOT a pizza parlor NOT a pizza joint It's sad only coz ppl in North va r suckered into thinking this ispizza (a to go food) Atrached photo is what a PIZZA PLACE I MUST LOOK!!

Andy GET REAL PIZZA OVENS!

pizza is soft and flimsy , way too flat, no air, just burnt (coz of the stupid convey belt oven...USE PIZZA OVEN...oh wait ya don't have any)

Also far too many ppl behind counter...1 or 2 at most ..cut down costs

Andy please go to NYC tri-state pizza places and analyze how these independent pizzerias do it and do it correct....franchises and local frans...
