Two women, both named Amy, have turned a commonplace neighborhood street into a mecca for top-flight pizza with their small and cheery, white-tiled restaurant. They’ve even gone to the trouble of making several of their pies, those marked with the D.O.C. (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) status, the old-fashioned way. This signifies the pizza maker has followed the traditional Neapolitan method for making pies: the right flour, water, yeast, salt, and toppings. But even if you don’t order one of the three D.O.C. pies with tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and basil, you will experience exquisite pizzas and luscious, family-style cooking with all the flavors locked in. Just short of pizza paradise are the braised rapini to start, the pizza Norcia with salami and roasted peppers to follow, and Gorgonzola with chestnut honey for dessert. Because of its excellent food, 2 Amys is apt to be crowded. It also helps that the friendly staff keeps a close watch on your table and tailors service to keep you happy.
