Inferno Pizzeria Napoletana

Voted number 21 pizza place in the USA in 2025! It’s no surprise this spot was voted one of the best pizza places in the U.S. in 2025. The dough is absolutely the highlight here, soft, airy, and perfectly baked. If I had to score it, I’d give the crust a 9.6 out of 10. It really carries every pizza and sets the standard high. The Margherita pizza was the clear standout for us. The balance of fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomato sauce was spot on, and the dough really shined in this simple yet classic combination. We did try a potato and onion pizza, and while the concept was interesting, it felt like it was missing a bit of salt and depth. I ended up adding some salt to bring it closer to what I was hoping for. On the other hand, the goat cheese ricotta with fig was much better than expec

Totally by chance, we drove by Inferno Pizza at 4:45 (opens at 5, closes when all the dough is gone) and there was not a long line out front, so we stopped in and got a table for two immediately. Absolutely outstanding pizzeria! Serves very authentic Neapolitan pizza and probably the best one in DMV! So glad that it's only 10 minutes drive away from home. However it'd be more perfect IF they have a good reservation system.

Outstanding! I've eaten pizza in Naples multiple times and Inferno nailed it. My family had the roasted beet with fresh herbs and yogurt appetizer and the roasted zucchini appetizer. The beets were top-notch, although the zucchini missed the mark in my opinion. My personal preference would be to have a little char on the zucchini, which were instead warm and mushy. For that reason, I would recommend the roasted pepper appetizer which looked delicious at a neighboring table (and looked how I expected the zucchini to look). We shared the Margherita pizza, the black truffle pizza, and the fig/ricotta/arugula pizza. All were outstanding and done right. We had two younger kids and ordered 3 for a party of 4, but since the pizze are light and not huge, I would recommend ordering one pizza pe

Absolutely the best neapolitan pizza in the DC, Maryland, Virginia area!! The restaurant is always full at dinner which speaks volumes. They do not take reservations but have a wait list. Get there early, or come late is my suggestion. Check their hours though. Since the restaurant is small, the kitchen and wait staff are able to provide an excellent customer experience. I suggest one pizza per person. If you plan to share, definitely try an appetizer, or have dessert, since the pizza are not large.

I have tried the Marinara Rustica, Margherita and Roasted Yukon Potato and Onion pizzas. They all tasted very good without being oily at all. I really like their dough. I thought the pizzas were overall worth the price. I did add Calabrian chilies to one of the pizzas and though they added a nice kick but probably wasn't worth the $3 extra. Take out service was friendly and efficient. However, the thing I didn't like was the crust ratio. I'm aware Neapolitan style pizza has a higher crust ratio, but even so, I thought there was way too much. It took many more bites getting through the crust than the center topping part.
