Sonny's Pizza - Aperol spritz - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Came here for a book club event- I love the ambiance of this spot both inside & outside! This is a really cute place for a group or for an event :) They offer gluten free pizzas, and they are sooooo good. I appreciate that it's a thicker, softer crust (GF people you know what I mean). I did get a caesar salad and asked for it to be GF... they quite literally sent me a pile of lettuce (so either they made a mistake and didn't include cheese etc. or perhaps everything on the salad besides the lettuce is GF...?). They offer delicious drinks alongside their food - service was good and nice for an event - give this cute spot a try! read more

Sonny's is definitely a staple within the neighborhood. The back area is the home to many different events including a silent bookclub. It's also easy to rent for group events. The square pizza slices are popular and can be ordered by the slice or by the full pizza. I personally think the pizzas are good but you get full quickly. I wish there was a thinner slice option. For their drinks, they have a decent wine program and some cocktails. The service is quick since you generally order by QR code or go up to the bar. read more

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 read more

I've been here twice and the food is good. I think it's worth the price. I think the drinks are priced pretty much on par with what you would find anywhere else. All went smoothly when I went by myself. However, the first time I went, my book club had made a reservation on the patio then it turns out that they're doing a silent book club event on the patio and they are unable to re-seat us so we have to proceed with our regular talking book club, while many other people are trying to read in silence around us. Ultimately some of the other customers got snappy with our table, which was irritating because it wasn't our fault we had booked having no awareness of this other event and then management was not able to find a solution. read more

We hosted my daughter's law school graduation party at Sonny's Pizza, and it couldn't have gone better! We had called ahead to reserve an area, but when we arrived it was way too hot outside. The staff was incredibly accommodating and let us set up inside near the front entrance, which turned out to be perfect--quiet, comfortable, and nice and cool with the A/C. We ordered everything family-style, and it was super easy. The large center table was ideal for setting out all the pizzas, salads, and drinks--wine, beer, and non-alcoholic options--which we arranged for self-serve. We also brought our own table decorations and cupcakes for dessert, and Sonny's was totally cool with it all. The food was delicious--the pizzas and salads were fresh, flavorful, and a big hit with everyone. The vibe was casual and relaxed, exactly what we were hoping for. The only odd moment was when a down-on-their-luck couple wandered in asking for money. It was a little awkward, but we gave them a few cupcakes and some pizza to-go, and they moved along. Not ideal, but it didn't take away from the overall great experience. Huge thanks to the staff at Sonny's for being so friendly and flexible. We'd definitely recommend it for group gatherings or just a great meal out! 5 stars! read more

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 read more

Amazing pizza! One of the best we have had. We first tried it at 6th and I Synagogue and then ordered a Pesky Mario pie to our house on Uber Eats more recently. The Sicilian pies are very filling and had plenty of leftovers for the next day. We looking to ordering from here again and hopefully dining here in person, perhaps with friends during trivia night. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

Friend and I ordered a Tito's and soda, the bartender openly starts pouring some cheap off-brand that I've never seen before. When I told them I actually ordered the Titos that is advertised on the menu, they cheerfully said "Don't worry all vodka is more or less the same" lol. When I said I wanted a Tito's - what is advertised on the menu - they again cheerfully told me "we actually don't have any". We then watched them do the same thing for the people behind us. Blatantly illegal. What makes it worse is that most of the ordering there is done from the table through QR codes so if they are this blatant to people ordering from the bar, imagine what they are doing when people aren't watching. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

This place slaps. The pizza is amazing - and each time I eat here it seems better than the last. I highly recommend getting a slice of the cheese + chili oil + arugula, as well as a slice of the pepperoni. 5$ a slice and you still can't beat the quality anywhere else in the district. The establishment has 3 different areas to dine/drink. The front, main entrance opens into a retro pizza/sub shop, great for family night or a low key date night without too much hustle and bustle. Then the middle lounge feels like your in the 1970s, with a ceiling that changes color. Yet it also feels modern, dark, and intimate. Lindsey the bartender was an absolute delight. She introduced us to Orange Wine - my new fave. Out back, past the middle lounge/bar, it's a beer hall! With picnic tables lined up, with QR codes to order at your party's pace. This is matched with fast service - soon after ordering drinks and pizza come right out. A 20% service (gratuity) fee is applied automatically. Well deserved - and saves time and hassle doing the math. We went on a Tuesday and hopped into a fun trivia game night. Sadly, we came is last. Lol. Overall, new fave place - def go here. read more

I was really excited to try this place out, I've heard about it from so many of my friends and after visiting I see why. It's just a great place to hangout with friends. They've got an amazing outdoor space in back and games for people to use. It's a great place for a larger gathering as well! The service is wonderful and staff are so friendly. The food and drink is great and looking forward to coming back. read more

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. read more

Sonny's Pizza - Reading and not allowing others to eat...at a restaurant. - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The adult consensus is that the pizza is "okay." The child really likes it because she didn't have to pay. Down to brass tax. As we ordered, each topping added to the cost of the pizza pie. Arugula costs $4.00, mushrooms cost $3.00, etc, so 1 pie ended up costing $50.00 bucks. We got 2 pies for a total of $80+ bucks because 1 pie was totally Vegan. There are no other options for Non-Pork eaters. There's no ground beef option, no turkey or beef pepperoni option, and their MEATBALLS CONTAIN PORK. I think my biggest gripe with this place is the fact that me, my black daughter, my black friend, and my Korean friend sat in this place to dine and the other diners who didn't look like us just kept gawking and glaring at us as if we weren't supposed to be there. And as soon as I made eye contact with them, they'd quickly avert their eyes in another direction. People don't know that I'm the type of person that will take my food to their table and sit down with them so that they can get a better look at me and get a better listen to the conversation in order for them to join in. I don't like eating at restaurants that make me feel that I shouldn't be there because if that's the case, my family, friends, and I won't go there and I'll advise others not to go there either. All in all, the cashier smiled while doing her job but wasn't much more pleasant than that and she gave us warm tap water in a pitcher with no ice. Oh, she did note that, "She doesn't make the prices." My take on this place is 3 of 5 stars. Customer service is mediocre, I've had better pizza from Rome's Pizza on Wisconsin Ave NW, Ledo's on GA Ave NW, the jumbo slices from Adams Morgan top this too, and shucks I'll even settle for Pizza Hut, or hop on the Mega Bus like my friend said to take the ride to NYC for a nice slice of Italian NYC pizza pie for this price to make a day trip out of it. & FYI: I do most of my reviews on Google where I have 3.9 million views. I'm new to Yelp, however, I'll be reviewing both here and Google now. read more

Metaphor: a Ferrari engine in a 70's Toyota Camry. Pizza = Great, gourmet, unique combinations quite, but quite pricey! especially if your baseline is Domino's or the Midwest. Ambiance = Comfy , relaxed hipster spin on a proletariat pizza diner Staff = friendly Price / Value = I was unprepared for my take out check - $47 (incl tax) for a large pizza. I didn't even check the prices before ordering. OOPS. I would say it tasted definitely like a $30 pizza IMHO. But I'm assuming all their ingredients are locally sourced and environmentally conscious... Dear G-d let's hope. So, if you have an open ended budget for pizza and your top concern is ethical sourcing/ dining, this is place is for you! read more

Excellent pizza, excellent service, solid ambiance. I have been to Sonny's several times, most recently coming here for a friend's birthday on a weekend night and enjoyed the heated outdoor area. I split a cheese pizza with a friend and received great service, with someone coming to take our order quickly and receiving our pizza in under 10 minutes. I also appreciated that our server let us know that Sonny's had already added a gratuity charge so we didn't need to tip. The pizza is extremely good, a sheet-pan, almost Detroit-style pie. The crust was crispy on the outside, airy in the middle with great flavor. While I would have liked for a little less tomato sauce and more cheese, the sauce was hearty and not too sweet and the cheese was stretchy and melty. I would highly recommend Sonny's for your next casual pizza slice! read more

Really delicious sheet pan square pizza slices and full pies. You order at the counter and can sit anywhere if your choice. There are a lot of people coming by and there's a fully covered "pizza garden" in the back with more seating! The pizza was amazing, with fresh and sweet sauce. I highly recommend. read more

This place is fine. I ordered this pizza to split with 4 people which was plenty of food. Service was quick and friendly. Limited beer selection but definitely tasty. But after half a beer and a whole slice of pizza I threw everything up in the bathroom. The rest of my party was fine but I'm suspicious. Probably won't eat here again and wouldn't recommend it for food. Dying to get a cocktail in their lounge though. read more

Patio is a great place to catch up and be outside. Bring bug spray since there are mosquitos and sit under the fan since you'll be way more comfortable. Their pizza looks good. The drinks are not very good. I am not a fan of their cocktails. Their slush is pretty bad. I tried really hard to drink it and it was quite painful. I couldn't take more than 3 sips. The monkey bindle sour ale is meh. It's sour for the sake of being sour without being tasteful. read more

Awesome for large groups. Have been with several large groups, and i've hosted a surprise party here with 35 people. It is great for spreading out, kid friendly, has great pizza and drink options, and lets you bring your own dessert! I love the outdoor patio.

Sonny's pizza is a nice venue to take a group for happy hour after work. The biggest selling point is the space and ambiance. It has a large outdoor seating area that can accommodate large groups. There is nothing special about the pizza, wouldn't recommend it for the food. Also do not expect much at all from the staff in terms of service. You have to track down a staff member to order anything or follow-up on your order. This place probably deserves 1-2 stars but giving it 3 just because of how frequently my work group has visited. read more

This place is fabulous!!! We got the "Don" pizza I think that's what it's called... it's Sicilian style... delicious crust and sauce... we got it as carry-out but we can't wait to go and enjoy the simple but welcoming ambiance. Parking wasn't an issue for us, however I assume that if it was a busy night we could have had issues. The staff are friendly and welcoming. 10/10 experience!! read more

Delicious pizza after a night out. Filling portions. Id like to go more often but it's not affordable.

What a cute and unexpected surprise! Stumbled across Sonny's while trying to kill time before a Yelp event and needed a drink. Saw a sign and entered. I was greeted immediately by Ben who gave me the run down and directed me towards the beer garden in the back. I was the only one there but it was cute, quiet and lots of space. The staff was really friendly and nice. Had some wine and a slice before I left. I'm excited to check out the bar area in the middle on the weekend. read more

Used to love Sonny's - and rave about them to friends - but I think sadly I'm done after 3-4 consecutive bad experiences. Last night they straight up got an order wrong - completely messing up toppings (including adding meat when it was supposed to be a vegetarian pizza). And two other pizzas had the consistent problem we keep seeing at Sonny's, which is that the pizzas just aren't cooked right. The tops - on four consecutive orders now - are consistently burned (I'm talking charred). You lose at least one full slice, and lots of toppings on other slices, to blackened char. At least 20% of the pepperonis on a pepperoni pizza we got were inedibly charred. Worst still, the bottoms seem undercooked, and *every* pizza's dough feels tough, dense, and underproofed. I loved the bold toppings, the Sicilian/Detroit-style, and Sonny's vibe. But at the prices they charge, our orders are just too consistently messed up and bad. These are all bad in their own right, but Sonny's pizzas are quite expensive - and the service fee is astronomical. read more

Cute restaurant but not quite...tasty! The food was underwhelming especially flavors and seasoning. Service was perfect though. You order at the truck if you're at the back. It was actually kind weird though cuz when I came we went through the dining room to outside, and nobody was in the dining room. However, the patio is cute and looks like great place to socialize or study. I fear I will not come back again :). Thanks a lot gentrification read more
