The Washington Post recently released a searchable list of the best pizza by state, divided into eight different categories. They analyzed 7.5 million Yelp reviews and developed a formula to identify the “best.” Ema Rossi, a family-owned and operated Italian restaurant that serves wood-fired Neapolitan style pizza, pastas, salads, and small plates, was ranked as the best “Neapolitan-ish” style pizza in the state of Maryland.
According to WaPo, “While “Neapolitan” is strictly defined, Neapolitan-ish includes puffy-crusted wood-fired pizzas with all sorts of fancy toppings.” Ema Rossi has been doing it since they opened in the old Pizza Hut location in the Rock Creek Village Center (5556 Norbeck Rd) back in July 2020– a very difficult time for a restaurant to get started with many Covid restrictions in place.
In 2021, our very own Mr. MoCo ate dinner at the restaurant and had this to say, “A couple months ago I checked out Ema Rossi Pizza and haven’t seen a new restaurant become a beloved neighborhood spot as fast as this one has. Owners were there and knew half the customer’s names as we dined outside on a warm, early spring day.”
