    18" Vegan Pizza, Pepperoni Slice, Cheese Slice
    Chelsea C.

    I love a pizza with a thin crispy crust. You can tell the pizza dough is expertly made due to the bubbles from the hydration of the dough. Its a super satisfying crunch and its a large slice. However, we only ordered the vegan pizza and admittedly its not the most representative of what they offer (this usually comes with vegan pizza). It can still use some work, its incredibly simple so we got a good taste of the sauce and vegan cheese (which was melted!) and the few sprigs of basil. At times, the crust is a bit too hard, so its difficult to appreciate the toppings especially when its just three ingredients.

    Walk down to Speakeasy
    Shyra N.

    I love a good speakeasy and if this is your first one, then it may be worth the trip but if you been to speakeasies before you may be a bit disappointed with this. First, the entry to this one is great. I love how it's located in an unassuming pizza shop and the walk to the bar just builds anticipation for the experience behind the door but afterwards the experience just falls short. The space is nice and the service was great but the quality of the food is not worth another trip. Also, our bartender was nice and accommodating but you can tell he was just starting out. If you are getting a craft drink you should be able to tell your bartender your spirit and flavor. If it was off the menu, no luck. I probably won't return but if it's your first speakeasy it may be work the experience.

    Awaze tibs pizza

    Minya pizza is an Eritrean-owned pizza shop, with American pizza, a few types of Eritrean pizza, and other food as well. I came on a Monday at 12 pm and there weren't too many people. The worker behind the counter was friendly, and there is plenty of seating. It is only a 4 minute walk from the U Street metro. I got a slice of their awaze tibs pizza, which had spiced ground beef, jalapeños, onion, tomato, and cheese. It was delicious! Definitely unique and worth trying. The price wasn't bad too, it was $7 and had a good amount of meat. One slice was enough for me. I will definitely come back.

    Pizza is delicious! I tried their vegan cheese pizza and wouldn't have been able to tell if I hadn't known otherwise

    I was out on 9th st and decided to grab some pizza. The employees including the owner, Yosief, were very kind! I ordered slices of the cheese and derho pizza. They were both delicious. I would love to come back to try the Ferrovia pizza. This place also has a great surprise! I can't wait to come back.

    Their pizza is actually quite good. It is the perfect balance between dough-iness and thinness. They are friendly too.

    Cool atmosphere, crappy food, lackluster service, and ridiculously overpriced watered down drinks. $18 for a small vodka soda.

I got buffalo chicken wings - pretty good actually Got 4 slices of pizza: we like them all!! Korean chicken - too sweet for me but hubby like it Chicken Paneer Chicken Parmesan Chicken Bacon Ranch - my favorite! I was satisfied Best part is definitely the thin crispy crust. Service: can't say much because it's a pizza place and we only order and take our food. Staff read welcoming and easy to talk to ( male cashier); female staff who took my order and hear up my food my me seems a little mean but it's probably because of the loud noises so it was hard to hear each other....some miscommunication/understanding both ways. Go try some pizza!!

    Onto the letter W on my alphabet series, representing prior to 2018, W is for Wiseguy Pizza. The…read morefirst time I ever went to Wiseguy Pizza was in August 2014. 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.

From the time I arrived they made me feel special and wasn't even wearing anything that said it was my birthday. I brought a cake with me and I was going to ask how much they charge for storage and they told me "Nothing, it's free of charge". They relieved me so much. Now for the atmosphere, it was so so elegant in there even thinking about it now makes me want to go back just to stare at those wax candles that creates mountains of dripped wax which is its own kind of art. Next, let's take about the mouthwatering and delicious food we had. I ordered the Vodka Sauce Pasta and it was the perfect amount of heat and flavor. I also got a side of garlic bread and it was so crispy, light, buttery, and garlicky, just like I like it. My husband ordered the Drunken Love Pizza and of course I had to try a slice and WOWWWW. That one slice of pizza had me drooling it was so yummy!! Everyone enjoyed their food and it was great time. Now, on to my cake, I'd brought candles, plates, and even a knife with me to cut the cake. To my surprise, they brought the cake out with lit candles and everyone sung Happy Birthday to me. They even cut and served the cake to us. Keep in mind, there was not a charge on the bill for this either. It truly made my birthday even more special. Grazie Nonna, you don't understand how happy you made me feel that day. Thank you so much for the love shown on my special day. I will forever tell people this story. Thank you!
