Came here with some friends for the first time a few days ago. The views from the rooftop are gorgeous. We had the calamari and two different pizzas. The calamari was alright, but the pizzas were pretty good! The dough is thin yet flavorful. One thing to note is that if you don't eat pork, you don't have a lot of protein topping options... I was disappointed about that. Additionally , the servers were nice but there was one in particular that made me feel uncomfortable. Despite those negatives, I would definitely come back. read more

The pizza is good. I really like their meat balls. The price is a bit on the high end. FYI- If you read this and want some feedback. Consider incorporating your pizza into your happy hour. Your drink specials are about the same but Salt Line (next door) has half priced local oysters and Docha (next next door) has a burger, fries and a beer around $6 cheaper than one of your personal sized pizzas. As a weekly visitor of the other two, thats the reason I overlook you if you want to know. Just something to think about... read more

I love this place. The pizza is some of the best in DC and it doesn't even need coal-firing! A nice zesty sauce with high quality cheese and toppings. I love the crust sans burnt marks for a change. Also, you'll be pressed to find a nicer staff in accommodating people even during a rush into their cozy, well designed little space. Special shout out to the staff that looked for my lost Girl Scout badge and our waiter that night that carried himself with great patience with our kids. Garlic knots and fried motz, are musts, btw. My only complaint is that I wish we could get more family-sized pizzas, because I'm a pig. Eat the Buona every day. Keep up the great work! read more

I was in town for the cherry blossoms and my friend suggested we eat here before heading to the Wharf. We shared the Sedgwick pizza which I highly recommend - the honey gives it something extra! - and the shaved apple fennel salad, equally delicious and light! As for drinks we ordered a glass of rose (I got sparking) and Aperol Spritzers. It was a nice day and we were able to sit outside. The one thing is that service was slow. For it being a peak weekend for the festival and a DC United game going on later I felt more staff should have been available. But the food was tremendous and I would go back. read more

Came to town from NYC and was recommended to come here for some brick oven pizza. Let me tell you coming from a HUGE pizza lover this place is amazing! Our waitress Nemo was awesome , very informative, and her service was 5 star . Apps were also yummy , definitely recommend! read more

Great pizza, but the brunch menu was lacking variety. Lots of dishes with pork or seafood if you eat that but otherwise not that much else. read more

We had a very good experience here this weekend! The pizza was perfectly crunchy and chewy with fun and traditional flavors. We loved the clam pizza, coffee gelato, and warm made-to-order cookie :) read more

This restaurant and its service were stellar! It seemed like there was a mistake in the kitchen that pushed our pizza to the end of the line, but our waitress, Rachel, was super apologetic and brought us a cocktail on the house! When the pizza (the Curveball) did come out, it was delicious and filling, without being heavy. Great work!! read more

My friend and I stopped by this cute little pizza restaurant and bar along the waterfront at navy yard area. We were mainly there for the drinks since we had the dc drinking passport that gives us two drinks for the price of one across dc bars that participate. To our surprise, this place turned out to be a very pleasant hang out spot. The bartender was very attentive and gave us a excellent recommendations on drinks that quit were tasty. I would definitely go back and suggest you give this place a try. read more

The food, the drinks (OMG that Pina Colada - type one), the view from the rooftop, the service of the bartender, the overall vibe and experience, ALL GOOD! I will say that my friend are very particular about our experiences (read: picky), and this place satisfied both of our expectations. Will be making this place a new regular favorite! read more

Happy to have another great spot on the water in Navy Yard. Great decor/vibes with ample seating inside and outside. Let me just say, the garlic knots are out of this world. I crave them constantly and come here just for drinks and knots more times than I'd like to admit. They are are like deep fried pieces of heaven that sit on some sort of lemony butter/cheese something (I know that may sound weird but trust me it's magical). The pizzas are tasty but I'm just starting to get bummed out how much "artisanal" pizzas are going for these days. I am all for paying a premium for good food but $18-20 for a small pizza is starting to feel a little steep. However I guess that's just market price these days and seems to be on par with places like Declaration, ghibellina , Vetri etc. read more

Great addition to the new waterfront development. The decor is modern with an urban feel. The space is small and intimate, the tables are a bit too close to each other making it a tad difficult not to overhear your neighbors. The wall of windows provides an awesome view of the Potomac River. The food is fantastic. Love the flavor profiles of the pizza toppings - very unique and the fried garlic knots are "da bomb"! Service was impeccable, casual but professional and very attentive. Enjoyed every aspect of the meal. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We had a great evening on the 2nd floor patio and wanted to express our sincere thanks to the bar tenders and manager. They were very helpful, attentive and pleasant to work with.We will definitely recommend your restaurant to our friends for future events. read more

Welcome to the neighborhood All Purpose! We checked it out during a soft opening after waiting for quite awhile for its arrival and I must say I was beyond impressed. The decor is phenomenal and the patio and upstairs bar will be an awesome addition to the Navy Yard. We really loved our bartender JC who really navigated us through the cocktails to the menu. Also, the tiramisu is to die for! read more

Loved it. We ordered the Sicilian pizza and Scilizn salad and split them. Both were very good. Sicilian pizza does not have cheese as per tradition. It was perfectly cooked in wood oven with anchovies, capers and garlic with a classic plain but savory tomato sauce. Salad was a good accompaniment to pizza with grains , onions and feta cheese. Nice setting on river and boardwalk. read more

Ordered a Rockaway pizza and side of meatballs to go and the food was really enjoyable! When picking up my order everyone at the host stand was friendly and my order was ready in the time promised over the phone. Great view of the river too and I can't wait to go back and try the other pizzas. $15 for the meatballs was a little pricey for what you get but they were good nonetheless. I will 'declare' that this is the best pizza joint in Navy Yard ;) read more

Worst service I've had in a really long time. Went here for the first time last night with a group from work. Bartender upstairs (a female with short hair) was extremely rude and totally unskilled as a bartender. We moved to the indoor bar after talking to the manager. Food is average. There are much better places to eat/drink around the Navy Yard. Skip this one. read more

Great place! Very good pizza. I wish the Riverfront location had the Duke #7 pizza like the Shaw location. The downstairs dining area and bar are great. I like the rooftop for drinks but wish the food menu was not limited. I live in the neighborhood and go about once a month. read more

Ive been a few times to this nice addition to the waterfront, right near Nats Stadium. Pizza menu is a bit different from the original AP but the quality is as good. Excellent wine, beer and drink menu. Very nice out door space as well. Definitely one of the top places to check out if you are headed to a Nats game or anywhere near the waterfront. read more

They patio overlooking the Anacostia River is underrated, and almost hidden behind the place if you don't know it's there. They are right across the street from Nats Park, so it's a perfect spot before or after a game. Good pizza and beer, and even a roof deck (often reserved for private parties, it seems). Cool spot, much more scenic than their Shaw location! read more

I wanted to try the new All Purpose on the Waterfront. After paying $4 to park, I walked around the building to find the doors locked at 5:30 on a Tuesday. After gaining access, I was met by a woman who asked if she could help me. "Well I am here to eat." She replied "I am sorry but the entire restaurant is booked for a private party." Needless to say, they just lost 1 potential customer. Maybe the owners should decide whether they want to be a catering hall or a restaurant that serves the public. read more

Hands down one of the best meals in DC. Came in on a Wednesday night--service was great, food was phenomenal and prices were very reasonable. I can not wait to come back. Super cute atmosphere and looking forward to spending time in their patio when it gets warmer. read more

See all

Perfect evening! We arrived after 8pm and sat outside. Ordered the Buena with two beers and we were set. Great service, cold beer, hot, delicious pizza, decent prices and nice weather with a waterfront view. What more could you ask for? read more

Fantastic atmosphere and service! Cocktails were perfect and I loved the paper straws. Thanks!! We had a big group and they were so very accommodating. read more

Great pizza! Service is great and cooks are spirited and desire to make a great pizza! Highly recommend the Bouna pizza, for the meat lovers! Has a hint of honey that makes it amazing! read more

So so good! Personally, my favorite spot on the waterfront, but the wait can be longgg. The pizzas are all amazing (I personally like the spicy pepperoni one best, it's moreso sweet with a kick) and the service is great. We never had to wait to get our server's attention and the food came out very quickly. The calamari appetizer was delicious too. Really fresh, well seasoned, and came out piping hot. It was actually much bigger than expected so we were glad we shared. Delicious! read more

I had been to All-Purpose Shaw before and loved it but came down to the Riverfront since they have a brunch menu. As I had hoped, it was all fantastic! The baked eggs are amazing, I highly recommend them and will be back just for that dish. It's lovely to sit on the patio if it's warm enough. And all the staff were delightful! A great place. read more

All-Purpose Capitol Riverfront - Brunch drinks outside! - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Whipped ricotta. Enough said. I get this everytime before exploring the pizzas. Never been disappointed. Great place overall

The service was very nice, and the pizza was good, I had a plain pie. I just moved to the district from North Jersey, I'm used to a 16" inch pie for$12, down here it's a 12" pie for$16. read more

I can't speak to the food, but charging a mandatory 20% service charge for pickup is absurd.

Views of the Anacostia River are incredible. Best pizza in Navy Yard-- a pizza is won/lost with its dough and All Purpose delivers with a homemade and fluffy blend. This is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant in Navy Yard, perfect for anything from a Friday night get-together to a pre-Nats bite. read more

The service was attentive but the attitude was a tad snotty. They must like to hire people who can't talk to people in a pleasant manner. Salad was DRENCHED in dressing . Pizza was very good which is the only reason they didn't get 1 star. AND the thing was most annoying was the automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill ( there were only two of us) There was no explanation as to why they did this and they didn't tell us until they brought the check. I would not recommend you eat here. Just order a pizza to go and sit in a public area on the boardwalk. read more

Location is great. A lot of outdoor space, and they have outdoor heaters for cooler nights. However, the service was extremely slow. Our waitress was really snippy with us. The pizza was also not that great and way overpriced ($20 for a subpar 12 inch pizza). read more

We split a pizza and a salad and had the garlic knots. All were excellent as was the service. The atmosphere is very pleasant. But the prices are pretty steep. read more

Food is mediocre but outdoor seating by the water was nice even though the water is brown and next to sewer plant. The pizza sauce was very bland, need some salt and Italian seasoning. Pizza dough was uneven, some spots too thick and had a dry, wheaty flavor to it. The pizza could have used more cheese. Service was good and the restaurant practiced social distancing with the tables. read more

Great View. Good Food. Amazing Drinks. All Purpose Riverfront delivered. The Pizza and the frozen drinks were spot on for a night with my winners circle!! read more

Really disappointed in the size and price. Pretty pedestrian menu. Came here on a game night. Service was unfriendly and the highly touted pizza was expensive and tiny! It was maybe 9" in diameter and that's even pushing it. read more

This was one of the best ever experiences we have had in DC, well for that matter, anywhere. From the beginning , the focus was on the customer. We sat at the high tops in front of the kitchen, which to us was a real treat. Willa, our server, was the most pleasant I have experienced.d so knowledgeable about the menu, including the wine list. Helpful suggestions, but not leading or pushing us to more expensive choices. Ordered a bottle of sparkling rose, and two appetizers. The fried mozzarella was amazingly light and the sauce was a perfect pairing. The meatballs were superb. Willa suggested later that meatballs and their garlic knots make a phenomenal meatball slider - we will be back to test that theory. Sat watching the kitchen staff work. Having only been open for 5 months, it was quite amazing to watch the ballet. They have the lead chef, Vince, working outside the kitchen, finishing every pizza/dish that goes out, checking for quality, and doing the finishing touches. (The Italian oregano is to die for). The staff seamlessly switched as Vince left for the evening, and Adam took over. The pizza arrived, we got a "standard" with sausage and pepperoni. The toppings were very tasty, the crust, light and crispy, the sauce and cheese rounded out a perfect pizza. During the meal, Willa and others on the staff would make sure our wine was full, and water too - from the bottle they left for us on the counter! We chose the chocolate chip cookie for desert. Wow. Just wow. And all of it for a very reasonable price. 2 appetizers, pizza with two toppings and the dessert for less than $50. We will return- multiple times. read more

The best pizza and wings in DC! We tried All purpose for the first time during the quarantine and after our first delivery we ordered 3 additional times in the same week. Same quality taste each time. read more

Came in for the pizza stayed for the vibe! Had great garlic knots and still raving about the calamari! Great river front view and awesome wait staff. Real cool patio and great area to go out to eat and catch a few drinks will be back soon! 10/10 recommend sitting at the bar. read more
