    We went here on our first night in the city. Ordering at the kiosk was easy and fast. The restaurant was a bit bot but not as hot as outside! The pizzas and chicken Parmesan sub were both good. Only complaint is online the website says you get free pizza if you find an upside down pepperoni on the pork pepperoni pizza and our kid found one! Unfortunately, the worker did not know about this claim so it's a bit of false advertising. The food and service were good, just don't make false claims I tried to contact the company over email and the email listed online bounced back.

    Steak and cheese is crazy big!!

    Food is great! Staff is amazing and the vibe is nice!! All around solid 4 stars! Cute young man behind the counter was uber friendly and fun. Thanks for the experience!!

    Stopped in for dinner and it was busy- they let us know it'd be 20 minutes for pizza, which we appreciated. We got a pizza and sandwich, both of which were good. For the style restaurant it is (order at counter and wait for food at table), the bill was a bit steep.

    White pizza (10 inch) with spinach and mushrooms
    Chuck H.

    Growing up in New York City, living in Chicago and Urbana-Champaign for 17 years, I am a bit of a pizza snob. This is good. I had the 10 inch white pizza, which comes with spinach, and I added sautéed mushrooms. This was great. Not overly seasoned, but the quality and freshness of ingredients shown through. Crust (standard hand thrown) was nicely cooked, and both the crust and the cheese had the type of browning that one sees in a nice NY pizza. Downside is not many seats (probably only about 20-25 in the entire shop). A nice find in downtown DC

    Visiting from California, and as a true pizza lover, I had to give Bozzelli a try and I'm so glad I did! I ordered the vegan pizza, and wow, it completely exceeded my expectations. So rich in flavor, perfectly crusty, and incredibly satisfying. The service was just as impressive. All the Latina ladies working there were so sweet, warm, and welcoming. It's always a treat to feel that kind of genuine hospitality definitely gave the place a great vibe. The ambiance is cute and cozy, right in the heart of downtown with lots of nearby stores and restaurants. A perfect stop if you're exploring the area. Highly recommend!

    Fries & Italian
    Taylor A.

    - 1 star because it's too damn expensive +4 stars because it's phenomenal Stopped by on a Thursday evening at 5:45ish. Used the kiosk (a bit cumbersome) to order an Italian (extra Italian) with the fries + drink combo. $24.50 pre tip is highway robbery for a sandwich and fries... That being said, the sandwich? Delicious, tons of thinly sliced meat (but not too much!) and fresh ingredients. The bread was soft and slightly toasted and my mouth is watering thinking about it. Oh and the fries(!!!!) were crispy on the outside and soft and moist inside. They're wedge cut and while they could've used a lil more salt and a few extra packages of ketchup, they were piping hot and fresh. This location is fairly small inside. It's perhaps best to order ahead if you're in a rush. All in all, highly recommended and will be back!

    Soccer girls pizza

    The food is always cooked to perfection and consistently delicious. I usually order the Girls Soccer Pizza (their version of a meat lovers pizza), and it never disappoints. It is a little pricey, but that's pretty much expected in DC. I typically stop by during the middle of the day on weekdays since I work nearby. The service has always been friendly, fast, and efficient. Overall, it's one of the best pizza spots in the city. One thing to note: they do not sell jumbo slices.

    The staff here is really nice and what I like about Bozzelli's is how quickly the pizzas are made fresh and the variety of sizes, from individual 5-inch pizzas to full 14-inch ones. I just got the Fugetaboutit, which is a meat lovers pie but there are plenty of options to cater to different dietary needs.

    Jose P.

    I came here because I heard they had a gluten-free crust. The place was clean and simple. I think they do way more pickups than in-store eating. The service was fine - order at the register or through a kiosk. I ordered a margarita pizza, which cost $24 (way too high). The crust was rice and/or potato starch-based - it was okay but nothing special (I prefer corn or cauliflower). The sauce, cheese, and cherry tomatoes were good. So, I am giving it a high rating mostly for trying and having gluten-free options, but the price is not worth it. I hope non-gluten-free options are better and cheaper.

    Needed a quick lunch, so stopped by this fast-casual style spot to grab and sandwich to-go. Did not get a chance to try the pizzas, but have heard good things so will have to return to give those a sampling. My meatball sub was done just right with plenty of gooey mozzarella cheese and a zesty marinara sauce. Anxious to see what their other food tastes like, but will have to be on another trip into DC.

    Came here for a cheese pizza. It's was very good. It had a nice.l thin crust and was cooked to perfection. The cheese was very good. Service was fast and efficient .

    5" Island Time Pizza
    Rickard S.

    During a visit to Washington, DC I was looking for a place where I could get a quick lunch. Bozzelli's was a short walk from where I was rehearsing and performing. Excellent choice of pizza in various sizes. I ordered a 5" Island Time made with bacon, pineapple and chili garlic sauce. It was my choice because I enjoy pineapple on pizza. Instead of using the ordering kiosk I ordered at the counter. The young man was helpful and delivered the order to my table. The small pizza was hot, delicious, and perfect for one for a quick lunch. I also bought a can of soda for something to drink. Even though it was about 1:15-1:30pm the place was quiet. There was outside seating available too and a selection of various table sizes. I would definitely recommend.

For mains, we got the pomodoro and bolognese pastas. These were alright. The pasta itself was a little harder than al dente unfortunately. But the flavor of the sauces were yummy. I loved the dessert! We had the chocolate cake and the creme brulee. These were among the best bites of the night. Restrooms were large and mostly clean. Wasn't expecting them to be as ornate (or as dark inside) as they were. Downside is that the restrooms are right next to the kitchen area so wait staff were constantly moving and I was worried about tripping someone.

The crab purse app was sinful! Full of the juiciest large lump crab meat I've enjoyed in decades. And the Bolognese Lasagna was simply divine!

It took a lot of will power to not eat the whole thing. The pastas fell a little short for us. The alfredo was just ok- not the best flavor. And the pesto was really soupy and a huge portion. Definitely, more Italian American than traditional Italian. We wrapped up the dinner with a cannoli brownie. A fun take on the classic Italian dessert. Overall, a delicious meal! We will be back for pizza FOR SURE.

The hostess told us we likely wouldn't sit until 9:45 so I inquired about the bar and the manager quickly stepped in to put us on a waitlist.

Shortly after we got our drink, we received notification of an opening and were seated by 8:15. We had the burrata appetizer, Ragú x 2, and the seafood fra diavolo. The burrata was one of the best I've had since they serve it with pesto, pine nuts, and garlic bread. It was truly divine! The Ragú was not far behind. Incredible flavor and a generous portion. The seafood dish had a nice kick and had plenty of seafood, which is not common as of late. All dishes were also priced reasonably for the quality you received. As we sat at the bar, we had pleasant conversation with the bartender and finished our meal with a small cannoli that really sealed the deal.
