Popular D.C. pizzeria Menomale is in talks to open a Hyattsville location.

Owner Mariya Rusciano told the Hyattsville Wire that she is looking at a space inside the upcoming Hyattsville Canvas Apartments at 5300 Baltimore Ave., next to the historic Armory building.

“We are negotiating the lease at the moment, but nothing is signed yet,” she said.

Site plans for the apartment and retail complex show two smaller spaces with a little over 2,000 square feet and a large corner space with 5,362 square feet “under negotiation.”

The apartment building’s retail brokers have already signed deals with Mathnasium and an outpost of Akira Ramen & Izakaya.

This would be the third location for Menomale, which started in Brookland and added a second space in NoMa. Following the rules of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, it’s one of a handful of D.C. restaurants that serve authentic Neapolitan pizzas.
