The newly revamped 46-year-old landmark location known for its
authentic Neapolitan pizzas and authentic Italian cuisine earned an
honorable mention from 50 Top Pizza (The first guide of the best
pizzas in the world) for the second year in a row.
ARLINGTON, Va., July 8, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- If you're looking for genuine Neapolitan
pizza, excellent service, and great value in the Washington, DC area, one of award-winning
restaurateur, Joe Farruggio's concepts (Il Canale, A Modo Mio,
and 90 Second Pizza) will probably come to mind. In 2020 Mr.
Farruggio consolidated his family's Virginia restaurants, originally opened in
1978, into a single Arlington
location, which reopened in October
2020 with a new name, A Modo Mio, which means "My Way" in Italian. Nowadays the enlarged A Modo
Mio family is proud to operate the location "his way," meaning that
family members remain closely involved at each restaurant to ensure
the superior customer service that they proudly provide each day. A
Modo Mio is more than just pizza and pasta, it's a business concept
created with a rich history by Italian immigrants to the U.S.
enhanced by the culinary creativity of Sicily and Naples.
"We are grateful to be considered one of the best pizzerias in
the U.S. We always strive to do better," says Founder Joe Farruggio, who also owns the Washington, DC celebrity hotspot Il Canale,
and the rapidly expanding 90 Second Pizza Chain.
Today the location continues to thrive thanks to
Chef/Pizzaiuolo/Partner Antonio Biglietto, Pizzaiuolo Antonio
Riccio, and Director Rosario
Farruggio. A Modo Mio was featured on 50 Top Pizza's
USA 2024 Excellent Pizzerias list
in 2023, in 2024 A Modo Mio was featured in 50 Top Pizza as having
one of best 50 pizzas in the US.
According to Executive Chef/Pizzaiuolo Antonio Biglietto,
"Napoli is the star ingredient in
our recipe for success." He credits the combination of having 2
Neapolitan pizza-makers, the best Italian ingredients, and a
Neapolitan pizza oven that give A Modo Mio an advantage. Having
grown up in Naples, Chef Antonio
and his nephew, Pizzaiuolo Antonio Riccio have pizza-making in
their DNA. Chef Antonio loves bringing the authentic and innovative
flavors and time honored techniques of Naples to the United
States and feels that the fast-paced nature of the
businesses fuel his creativity in the kitchen. Pizzaiuolo Antonio
Riccio placed 7th in the Pizza Championships at Pizza Expo in
Las Vegas this year in the
Neapolitan category. Inheriting his passion from his uncle, he
says, "To make perfect Neapolitan pizza everything needs to be
perfect; the ingredients, the communication, the pizzaiuolo's
technique, and the service." It's this commitment to perfection
that has also earned A Modo Mio the coveted VPN (Associazione
Verace Pizza Napoletana) certification of Neapolitan
authenticity.
Unlike many smaller pizzerias, A Modo Mio boasts 130 seats,
offers the same authentic pizzas at lunch and dinner, and offers a
full menu of homemade Italian pastas, wild-caught seafood, sizzling
steak, craft cocktails, authentic desserts, and a carefully crafted
wine list. Owned and operated by Italians, A Modo Mio has garnered
accolades both in Italy and
the United States.
