Emmy Squared will bring its Detroit-style pizzas to two more locations in the D.C. area.

One opens in D.C.’s Navy Yard in early June, another in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, later this summer.

Emmy Squared’s first restaurant opened in Brooklyn in 2016. It opened its first D.C. outpost in Shaw last year.

It now has locations across New York City, Nashville, Philadelphia and Louisville, Kentucky, in addition to the D.C.-area locations.

Emmy Squared’s Alexandria location will replace the former Pizzeria Paradiso at 124 King St. in Old Town that closed last fall. The Navy Yard location is at 1300 4th St. SE, on the ground floor of The Bower condominium building.

Emmy Squared’s Detroit-style pizza is square, with and a crispy bottom. Pretzel bun sandwiches and burgers, salads, wings, garlic sticks and waffle fries are served as well.

Its restaurants offer a “weekend family meal” on weekends, a section of several menu items including salad, plates and pizza for four to six people, for $58.

The Navy Yard location will include outdoor seating.

The Alexandria Pizzeria Paradiso closed last October after 10 years. It still has locations in Georgetown, Dupont Circle and Hyattsville.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
