    Super cute outdoor space & great pizza!! Such a cute old feeling aesthetic. I got a slice of pepperoni for $5, which was good and a decent portion. Would come back for the vibes and good pizza!

    Our date night included playing BINGO at this location! :) Bingo night was hosted by "Mama's kitchen" which was really fun. First time at Sonny's. When you walk in, it's a food seating area and where you can order food. When you walk down left hallway, it's like you enter a speak easy. It's another part of the restaurant, which has semi circle cushioned booths and is a calming area. Keep going into the back and there's an outside area with a ton of cafeteria style tables and where we played Bingo. It's cold out, but there are overhead heaters Food was good! I had a single slice of pepperoni pizza, which was filling. I also had a small Cesar salad, that was big enough for 2 people You can scan the menu at the table and order via your phone - keeping the tab open or close it out. Persons bring your food/drinks to your numbered table. Gratuity is already included! Look for street parking

    Love Sonny's but so surprised that they don't have vegan pizza! You can order a pizza with red sauce and arugula on top tho but slightly disappointing

    Everything was delicious, fast, and the ambiance during trivia was great. Will definitely be coming back!

    Caesar Salad

    The pizza and Caesar salad were both great, and the atmosphere inside was casual -- a solid spot to check out in Park View. The outdoor patio was closed for a private event, but we were able to sit inside near the indoor patio. There's limited seating, but we managed to grab a table. I'd rate the pizza an 8 out of 10 and would definitely come back for more pizza and their natural wine selection

    Sunny Pizza on Georgia Avenue is our second visit, and we've always enjoyed the pizza we've had there. In fact, I highly recommend it over any other pizza place in the Petworth area. However, my recent visit was a bit disappointing. My son ordered the Parmesan chicken, and he was extremely let down. The chicken was burnt and covered in tomato sauce to hide the fact that it was dry and overcooked. It's hard to cover up mistakes, and I think we would have noticed if they hadn't tried to hide it.

    That pizza was so good! And it's such a cute spot! We tried a couple of their pizzas and each one was better than the last! Everyone was super friendly, and it wasn't bad finding a seat. They had multiple options from the main dining room, to the bar, to a covered patio out back! We ended up sitting in the bar, which was nice because they had a wider drink selection. The service was very attentive. The food was great, and the drinks were great too. They had a long list of apéritif and soda options, which I haven't really seen other places, but it was a nice refreshing Option. I'd highly recommend going!

    Cheese Pizza Slice
    Eunice I.

    Checked here earlier today on my walk through the neighborhood. I was craving a slice of cheese pizza and googled what was close by. This was one minute away, so I decided to go with it. It was pretty empty when I went inside, so I didn't have to wait. I ordered a slice of pizza and decided to eat inside. The inside is very large, and it seems eclectic to me. I definitely think it's the type of place you can come with a large group and relax. My pizza came out pretty shortly after, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a square pizza. It wasn't too big like I thought it would be. It was decent although I'd like more cheese on mine. I noticed on the menu, they have arugula pizza with chili oil and had I actually looked at the menu I would have went with that. I'll go back soon and try that slice, and I'd come back with a friend or two next time.

    Outside venue.

    Great outdoor space. A lot of people were hosting baby showers and birthday parties- so it's a flexible venue. There's also a lounge/chic vibe in another room and then a more low key bar vibe in another area! Lots of options. Pizza was crispy and flavorful!

    This pizza place shares an outdoor covered space with Doubles Coffee. The seating is open and casual which is convenient for a "pizza by the slice" and beer. They have happy hour and the prices for a draft lager of $5 and $5 for a slice of "square" shaped Sicilian Pizza is good. The dough is light and not as heavy with lots of Pepperoni and Sauce. Food is served quickly along with Drinks ordering through the QR CODE. The Staff are friendly and welcoming in this casual environment and the prices are great for DC. Thank you for the bite.

    Baller lunch tray pizza
    Alex C.

    I'm honestly always looking for new places to take a big group of friends for dinner or drinks and Sonny's has skyrocketed to the top of my list. A few notes from my visit: 1. You can order from a QR code but they also have waiters who stop by the table to take your order. Love the optionality, ensures that you're virtually never waiting for food or drinks. 2. The "lunch tray" style pizzas are super nostalgic, taste great, and are perfect for sharing. 3. Any place that has an interesting wine list that includes affordable local bottles is a winner in my book. Cocktails were also solid. 4. Gluten free pizza options means no one gets left out of the fun. Seriously - this place rules. Next time you're looking for a spot for a get together, run (don't walk) to Sonny's

    Michael Q.

    We enjoyed the lunch tray style pizza, curvy (old world?) pepperoni that everyone loves, and both salad dressings. Seriously, the Caesar dressing was money. Sonny's entire dining room also FEELS like a lunch room with booths and a big common dining room. Unfortunately, we didn't see the value between the high wine/booze prices and added gratuity. Sonny's is the *first counter order restaurant (you also get/fill your own water) we've seen that adds a 20% gratuity. We'd encourage Sonny's to simply build in the 20% to their food cost to avoid sticker shock; it's confusing that the expos and ______ (we're unsure who else) receive 20% for walking your pizzas less than 20 feet from the kitchen to the table.

    Reading and not allowing others to eat...at a restaurant.

    I had, without exaggeration, one of the worst dining experiences of my life and it had nothing to do with the food, which is pretty ok. What wasn't ok was the gang of over 50 book-banging brigands who, in a hostile takeover, turned the place into their private reading room. They call themselves the Silent Book Club and apparently they do this prolifically at hip-casual dining establishments across the country. The harbinger of their coming was the obnoxious ringing of a handbell. As we sat down to eat they paraded past the hostess and staff, spreading across the entire dining area for maximum dispersion, and declaring they would be reading among us, requiring ABSOLUTE SILENCE. This isn't just some book club, this is a bunch of people who invade a shared space so they can INDIVIDUALLY read THEIR OWN book. Now listen, I read (lol) and I have no problem with people who enjoy reading in public. I also get that in the engagement-driven world we live in, it is becoming more difficult for people to read long-form content, and rarer in the physical medium. I have a problem with people who feel compelled to read very conspicuously, in places where it doesn't make any sense to, as a means to signal their status as literati. I have a problem with people who latch onto a superficial novelty to enshrine a contrarian critique of their peers to whom they are otherwise 99.9% alike. I have a problem with unhealthy obsession with the primitive as a very narrow answer to modern ailments. You know who I'm talking about. The man-bun who's meditating, in lotus pose of course, on the metro during rush hour. That anthropology major friend who wants to talk about how much better agrarian society was, ignoring feudalism and the plague. The guy wearing non-rx glasses who wants to discuss Nietzsche in the middle of a frat rager. Your cousin who studied abroad in London for half a summer and is now cultured and worldly. Sonny's was hosting the premier conference for these people. Do you know how much noise you make when you're eating? Not like talking and laughing, you know, things people enjoy while dining out. I mean just the act of eating. You will if you have to do it in the silence of the grave, under threat of piercing glances and exaggerated scoffing. Just sipping ice water becomes a car wreck, and food definitely tastes worse when you have to focus on chewing as slowly and noiselessly as possible. Worst of all was seeing how terrified the workers were and how arrogantly they were being treated by this cult of the book; that was beyond the pale. Diners can tolerate the temporary shame of disturbing this sacred ritual of sonic abstinence, but for the staff it's clear they've been directed to cater to every whim or risk their livelihoods. These readers were definitely on some power trip, waving and pantomiming and finally, only with great irritation, airily whispering their orders. Their mission statement is illuminating: "every time I open a book at home I get interrupted so we are creating a space where we can just commit to reading silently". So pretty much they have no agency at home, so they go out and appropriate a space to lord their authority over service workers, yeah ok. And since they were so enraptured by their reading, they barely ordered anything but sodas and apps, so you know the tips were smaller than the font in your favorite fantasy novel. I learned later they don't even pay to use the space, they just say ahead of time when they're showing up. Shame on management for allowing their employees to suffer these indignities! The hilarious part is it's obvious these people don't even read, what with how novel and interesting they seem to think reading makes them look. This is reinforced by their apparent lack of familiarity with libraries, you know, those public places where you can go and read individually in enforced silence among other book enjoyers. Apparently the only permissible breach of the noise taboo was to loudly, and agonizingly slowly, turn your page, signaling to the other drones your advancement in the way of the book. Half of them were engrossed in perennial, highbrow titles like "1984", "Crime and Punishment", "Fahrenheit 451", etc.; pretty much your high school English syllabus. The other half were elevating their books in positions optimized for outward visibility of the cover, but I can't imagine positioning a book vertically at eye level and at arms length is particularly conducive to reading. It's all a classic case of someone touching grass and immediately harassing others to do so. This has all really soured my impression of Sonny's and I doubt I will be returning for risk of experiencing the sequel. I could barely get the check without a hurricane of shushing. A draft of The Winds of Winter must have been taped on my back because I could feel the glare of a hundred eyes on me as I declined to tiptoe out the door.

    I live ~10 min drive north from this location. This is my second time coming for a private event…read moreand both times I've come, I've said out loud, "I should order takeout from them once a week!!" They operate a deli counter in the front and a bar / speakeasy in the back. You can rent out the bar space for private events. Last night, we had the space (and a bartender!) to ourselves, along with 3-4 different types of sandwiches. There is something SPECIAL about their seeded Italian bread. The perfect flakiness and texture. I enjoyed the chicken fontina and Italian. The caprese was my least favorite--not sure if they use a balsamic or what, but the flavor wasn't coming through. Before I left, I decided to order a large chicken cheesesteak to take home for lunch the next day. It was a bit of a risk to order a hot sandwich that I would have in the fridge overnight but I heated it up in our air fryer/toaster oven for all of 10 mins and the bread was good (not soggy) and the sandwich itself was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't stop to take a photo until the last bite :) It's a decent size sandwich--I ate half for lunch (along with my own chips and veggies) and have another half for tomorrow so while it's not cheap, I think it's reasonable.

    This place fell way off…read more I was fooled by social media and ordered their Thanksgiving sub... false advertising. Did not look like the video - all bread and extremely SKIMPY. The worst part is they charged me nearly $20 for that abomination. What a rip off. I thought they were decent pre-covid, but apparently they just don't seem to care anymore. Other places make loaded sandwiches... save your money!!

There is metered street parking and commercial lots/garages within a reasonable walking distance from here. They serve wraps, salads, and cold and hot sandwiches. I ordered the Korean Steak Sandwich. It took them about 10 to 15 minutes to prepare my sandwich. They should use a number system for order pickups because people, including myself, had difficulty determining which order they were serving. Many of the sandwich names sounded alike. My sandwich was kind of small for the price, and it wasn't very filling. It was, however, very good. It was flavorful and packed with flavor. The service was ok. It was nothing special. They did their job and did not go beyond or be overly friendly. All in all, I would recommend checking this deli out for some really good sandwiches.

If you're hungry and near by, sure go get it but don't make any special trips just for this wrap. Id love to try their other options on the menu at some point!
