    Steak and cheese is crazy big!!
    LoriLynn R.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    12 inch Cheese pizza

    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.

    Italian Mama with jalapeño. Every time I am in the east coast I make sure to visit. Must have plus the customer service is amazing.
    Maxinne A.

    Delicious Italian mama with jalapeño added. I make sure to visit this place when I am on the east coast. I appreciate the amazing customer service.

    Seasoned Fries
    Arielle W.

    Got an order for pick up, and it was ready right on time. I got the individual size Island time pizza, and it's the perfect portion. I also got an order of garlic knots and an order of the fries. The ranch is definitely not my cup of tea, but it served its purpose. The fries were pretty good, super crispy, and the garlic knots had a very great garlic flavor. Would definitely order again. Inside of the restaurant was fine, but I ordered for pick up so I didn't stay. Staff was very friendly when I got to the counter, and my order came out quickly.

That month I had started Uber driving, was in this area of DC, had heard good things about Wiseguy, and decided to eat here. Although I don't like paying to park just to simply eat a meal, I sometimes will make an exception for convenience and/or if it's a place I really want to go. But for the most part, I'll go to restaurant where they have free parking or at least I can find free parking near the restaurant. I remembered getting a parking spot very close and feel like I feed the meter like 50 cents in 2014 parking prices for a quick 30 minute meal. They have all kinds of varieties of slices from the standard toppings or just cheese to fancy ones. Although the pizza is fairly thin, but average for New York style pizza. I tried Andy's Pizza 11 years later in 2025, and while it was solid although not as good as Wiseguy, my real complaint with Andy's was that the pizza is very thin, where I was hungry very soon later; so a much worse value as pricing is comparable to Wiseguy. Wiseguy slices are big, and the pizza is top notch New York style. I went to this location a couple of more times after my initial August 2014 visit as I loved the pizza. Then, they opened up other locations. I went to Navy Yard one at least twice, once after a Nationals baseball game after a disappointing loss for my 4th favorite baseball team, Texas Rangers. Sorry Nats fans, but Nats are in my bottom 10 teams. I also went to Rosslyn & Pentagon City location, where parking isn't quite as bad. They even had a Wheaton Mall food court location, which I got to experience once, but they sadly closed. Every experience with Wiseguy has been positive.

I grab and use in their entirety both the orange-y hot sauce and the green sauce every time while adding hatch chiles to the simplistico burrito. I've shown several other people this place and they loved it as well. When it turns to side door they make some bomb Detroit style pizza. I truly haven't had a bad example of the style yet. I don't know if I'm selecting well or if it's maybe just low key the ultimate style of pizza but this is yet another fantastic example. It's just a small, quick takeout place for the most part, though there is some seating outside when the weather is appropriate. As such, service is generally to the point which is fine by me.

Street Parking Only & It's Definitely Hit Or Miss. I Got Lucky & Found A Spot, But It Is Metered So Be Prepared To Pay. This Spot Is Literally A "Side Door" Located On The Side Of Scarlet Oak. Super Unique Setup With Cool Lights That Make It Easy To Spot. It's Different From Your Typical Pizza Place, Which I Actually Liked. Since It Was Monday, They Had Half-Off Pizzas If You Dine In & I Had To Take Advantage Of That. CHEESE PIZZA I Ordered A Cheese Pizza & Lemon Water. This Is Detroit-Style Pizza, So Don't Expect New York Style. It's Thick, With A Generous Amount Of Mozzarella Cheese & Tomato Sauce. Honestly, It Almost Felt Like A Cheesy Bread Situation But In A Good Way. The Crust Was Buttery With A Slight Crisp On The Outside & Soft Inside, Which Was The Perfect Balance. The Ingredients Tasted Fresh, & It Was Very Filling. The Size I Got Came With 4 Slices, & Honestly, 2 Slices Was More Than Enough. I'd Definitely Come Back & Bring My Son This Feels Like A Spot He'd Love, Especially If He's Into Breadsticks & Cheesy Pizza. The Staff Was Decent, Though I Didn't Interact Much. The Overall Setup Is Interesting, A Full Restaurant Vibe Inside With This Separate Pizza Concept On The Side. Different, But It Works. I'm Glad I Finally Tried It, Unique Setup, Solid Detroit-Style Pizza, & A Great Deal If You Catch It On The Right Day. Just Have To Be In The Mood For Detroit-Style Pizza.

When we first walked in, the cashier immediately apologized for the long wait times, thanked everyone for their patience, and let us know they were incredibly short staffed with only two people working. Because the tiny interior was already packed, we decided to leave and do some sightseeing first. However, seeing how good the pizza looked we knew we had to come back later that afternoon. There's no negative details in my review. Nothing but positive things and a small recommendation. 1. Staff and Service I really appreciated the cashier's honesty about running behind right off the bat. That allowed us to make an informed choice rather than get frustrated by a long wait. More businesses could learn from this! 2. Restaurant's Layout The inside is a bit tight and busy, but it's located in a smaller older building, so they have no other options. Since they can't expand the inside adding an outdoor pub height counter for eating, a bench or some seating out front would be a great way to give waiting patrons a place to sit. Also a place to eat. 3. The Pizza -The Veggie Pizza: My nephew and I both ordered this, and the slices were massive you'll see in my pics! They were honestly the largest slices I have ever seen! I love pizza and have eaten it in New York and Chicago, and my slice here held its own. It was loaded with a huge variety of vegetables. I requested to put mine through the oven twice to get the veggies warm and cooked because I noticed my nephew's slice looked like a warm salad on crust. So happy I did because it was delicious! The jalapeños were intensely spicy which is on me, since I'm a bit of a lightweight with spice! -The Meat Options: My son got the pepperoni and thought it was really good, and my husband got a supreme slice which he also said was good . 4. Price and pizza size- they're more expensive than a typical slice, but once you see those big ole slices in my pics you'll understand why. They can't even fit on a plate. They had to serve them to you in an actual pizza box! After reading my long review you're trying to find out if I would go back huh? Absolutely! If I ever in the area or stay at the Hilton DC again, I would definitely walk right on over and get a slice. You can feed a family of three on one slice! Adult and two small children!
