Not worth it.
1st you have to stand in line in all weaather. most people who were not seated. stayed in line - however with in 15 minues - almost all people left, i guess they werent going to wait outside for an 1 hour.
2nd, they dining room was samll, more importantly it was an echo chamber extremely mosiy - loud. the wood seating was hard on the bottom.

the pizza was very tasty, however 1/4 to 1/3 of pizza was crust. it was also small. it was only 10 inches, not big enough for 2 people so be prepared to get a pizza each

NO physial menu - you had to use your cell phone to look up menu

overall I would not go back.

by the way i eat out 365 days a year. i do not cook. so i think I can evaluate reasuarants better than most people

We've been a handful of times, and the pizza really is phenomenal. The only gripe is that some of the tables are *super* small.

If you're able to sit at the bar, you'll get a front row seat to the kitchen -- it's a symphony in motion, and is neat to watch.

Great pizza, reasonable prices, and great friendly service. It's a busy spot so expect a wait. However, turn around times a pretty good. Only took about 7-10 minutes for my pizza once ordered .
They have staple and seasonal pizzas. Fresh ingredients...definitely worth a visit.

We had high hopes after all the hype about their neo-Neapolitan pies and man, was it super underwhelming.

The pizzas are good but best in the DMV? C'mon.. They are ok, just ok. I've made better in my friends' pizza ovens.

And in reading the press quotes on their site after our meal, they basically quote the same effusive critic over and over again from years back. This is quite a feat; everyone is now convinced this strip mall pizza spot is the best anywhere when it's actually just a nice pizza.

Service was well intentioned and friendly but amateurish. I asked for a recommendation for wine similar to a Cab Sauv and was recommended a white wine ??‍♂️ There were other similar missteps but it's not worth listing them.

Worth a try but not returning, there are much better options in MoCo and definitely in DC.

Quality of their food means nothing if it is put together hap-hazardly.. It could have been Great, they were so close... They want to be a craftsman style but need to get their makers to understand more than just 'throwing' toppings on... They have a chance of being something special/different, but it's all leading back to the usual.... They are ruining their food start ..

Really good pizza and salad.

Erika Monachino

Truly the best pizza I've ever eaten. The crust was amazing and the potato pizza flavors well-curated. Service was amazing, will be back, no doubt.

Make sure to arrive before they open and be prepared to wait in line for a seat.

I was super disappointed with inferno. After reading about it being great, I really think it’s been overhyped. It’s a crusty pizza with bland dough and toppings are snooty for snooty’s sake. Although service was excellent, it was countered by the heat in the small venue which is too small and crowded. The brick oven causes it to get so hot that you start sweating and they don’t crank up AC to counter this effect. I’d say skip this place and go get a good NY style from a takeout place. You’ll leave more satisfied and with a fatter wallet.
