World Wide Pizzas - Calumet-Norvelt

The food here goes beyond pizza, though the pizza is transcendent. OK, all pizza is transcendent. But Menomale's is beyond that. The appetizers are exceptional, especially the Coccio. The best meal I ever had was traveling through the Italian countryside and happening upon a random family resto. Menomale compares to that experience, except it's not exactly in a small Italian hillside town. Don't miss this spot.

Our airBnB hosts recommended this restaurant and it was just ok. Service wasn’t great (slow, forgetting to take us item) and food was really bland. Likely wouldn’t go back.

Pizza's and sandwiches were very good. Service was good too. I would highly recommend Menomale for lunch.

Menomale rocks. I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a table, the pizza is always fresh coming out of their imported wood-fired pizza oven, and their salads and desserts are authentic and delicious. Though we live quite a ways away, we always try to hit Menomale when we are in Northeast DC!

Four of us had dinner here on a warm fall Sunday evening. They had an interesting beer selection (didn't check wine or spirits). The pizza selection resembles what you would find in Italy some American-like ones. We all had pizza: the dough tasted great, as well as the tomato sauce and mozzarella. Pizza itself was cooked to perfection. Friendly service, relaxed ambience. Price is slightly higher than I expected, but it's worth it once in a while.
