We had a fantastic experience the service was so friendly! The staff is super personable - I was wearing a tshirt Shane recognized and came over shook man hand introduced himself and then bought our lunch!!!! Oh and the pizza is awesome so many choices! Love this place! Spicy Pepperoni grandma style is off the chain! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a nice small location. It's fairly small inside but there's also outdoor seating outside. We came at night, all the lights were lit up so it looks so pretty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!! read more

Onto the letter W on my alphabet series, representing prior to 2018, W is for Wiseguy Pizza. The first 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. read more

Arrived at Wise Guys at 11 PM on a Saturday. A bit of a line, but they process orders quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were able to grab seats, but some people were standing to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] First thing I noticed were all the interesting pizza flavors from Nashville Hot Chicken to Vegetarian Paneer Tikka. Pizzas are premade so you can see what you're getting. I believe 14 were on display. Once you order, they throw the slices back into the oven so they are piping hot when you get them. We ordered a slice of Korean BBQ Chicken, Mushroom Truffle, and Margherita. Got them as two-slice and one-slice combos so they came with two drinks and two garlic knots. Thin slices, but with some structure (not a floppy slice). I liked the Korean BBQ Chicken the best, it has some sweetness to it. If that's not your thing, the other two were good as well. I thought the garlic knots were fine, but the pizza was a better use of my calories. We also got an order of baked wings. I was surprised they were able to get a decent crust on the wings, despite being baked. Maybe it is because they were on the edge of being burnt, but it worked out. I also liked the flavor we got - sweet chili. It also surprisingly worked with the ranch dipping sauce. Not many food options open super late. Wise Guys is really good place for a snack/meal at night or at any time. read more

Wiseguy Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

A surprisingly expensive and unsatisfying slice considering the competition in this city. Unpleasant crust, as well. The flavors are all over the place, which might gain it some purchase with broader audiences, but they don't seem to quite land the industry standards. Small portions too. read more

This place is part of a small local chain of pizza joint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant has a decent sized patio area on the sidewalk out front and a very small dining area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area is a bit disheveled with boxes and drinks stacked all over.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff there was nice, but I will admit my interaction with them was limited. There is metered parking in front of the restaurant and within a reasonable walking distance. I placed my order online and was able to find a coupon that gave me a few dollars off my order. In addition to pizza, they have salads, stromboli, rollers and desserts. I ordered a slice of pepperoni, a slice of Il Capo, and a slice of Korean Chicken. My order was not ready when I got there, but I did noit have to wait to long. My pizza was good. It was not the best I have had but it was good. It is similar to New York style (but much less grease) and the slices were decent sized. If you are looking to put some pizza in your life, you should definitely consider checking this place out. read more

One of my favorite pizza places to visit in the DC area is this spot. This is one of those places where you have to recommend a delicious pizza for people to try on their next visit. I like the option for late hours, as it is a must for me since I like to eat pizza at any time of day, lol. The service is quick and easy. Before I forget, check out their lunch special: two slices of pizza and a drink, or choose the one you prefer. read more

Wiseguy Pizza - Lunch! - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

TLDR; good pizza with lots of unique flavors. Decent portion for the price but taste is middle of the road. Not bad but not great. We did takeout. The online ordering experience was easy to navigate and our pizza was done quickly. We ordered: Triple pepperoni - a great pizza if you like lots of pepperoni on your slice. I was worried about it being too much but the ratio was just right. Good flavor but a lot like a traditional pepperoni pizza whereas I was expecting it to have a unique taste. Chicken bacon ranch - excellent taste but far too dry. Pizza needed more sauce and/or ranch. Overall good pizza but unsure if I would come back. read more

Quality pizza but priced higher. I ordered the BOGO through UberEATS and it was still hot. Be careful if it's being delivered via bike though, the pizza was not all together by the time it arrived.

This pizza was amazing! We had the buffalo chicken one and a chicken Parmesan one as well and they were perfect. Crispy crust, delicious toppings, the sauce was great too! My daughter had a chocolate chip cookie which was really good too. Not too sweet, which I really didn't expect! The staff is fully bilingual, which was cool! And really friendly.

You can see the staff making the pizzas, which is cool too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the bathroom was clean!!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great find haha we loved it and fully recommend it! read more

I came to Wiseguy Pizza with a group of friends. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For a pizzeria, it was pretty spacious and allowed for dining in at tables or counters.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I appreciated the various and unique selections they offered. I went with the Mushroom Truffle because I love white pizza, and the Nashville Hot Chicken because it was unique. Both pizzas came out fairly fast, and I enjoyed the flavors and crispness of each slice. read more

Where we've been staying in the city I've been seeing everyone carrying a Wise Guy Pizza box. So naturally I had to go and check it out. I know DC has several places selling big slice pizza. Wise Guy is impressive for the different variations of pizzas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The little corner pizzeria shop is a great place to enjoy a slice (or two...or a whole pie) inside or out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife and I enjoyed the Korean, Chicken Paneer, and the Il Capo, with some garlic knots. Since we order a slice, the pizza tasted good being reheated. But I think next time I want to get a whole pie because the people walking out with the fresh pies looked amazing. Will definitely be enjoying here soon again. read more

Wiseguy Pizza - Korean/Paneer - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I heard Wiseguy offers the best pizza in DC so as a transplanted New Yorker, I had to check it out! I went with some friends late at night and it was still popping! I got the mushroom slice and enjoyed it! I like how the crust was thin but still had a nice chew. Ratio of cheese to crust was good but I would have loved more mushroom slices to balance out the basil pieces. My friend's Nashville chicken featured fine chicken but wasn't spicy enough. The paneer slice was actually quite spicy (and legit per my Indian friends). The pepper flavors came through and paneer chunks with a good texture. I liked how they heated up the slices nicely without overcooking the pizza. Staff were polite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables/seating available inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall solid pizza for the DC area! read more

I had the Chicken Parm pizza ($29) which was 18" big. The pizza was ok. The chicken tasted cheap and was more breading than chicken. The flavors were all a bit bland; adding crushed red pepper helped. I liked the crust (medium thickness) but my friend found it bland and cardboardy. I would visit again but I wouldn't get this pizza again. Service could be improved. I ordered for pick up at 5:45 PM and the pizza wasn't ready until 6 PM. Another person was also picking up a Chicken Parm pizza at the same time; I suspect they delayed my order to make it alongside the other order. Maybe this was more convenient for them, but it wasn't very good service for me. It's also a hassle to pick up pizzas because staff doesn't man the register all the time, so if all the staff are helping other people, there is no one to ask for your pizza, even if you see it sitting on a shelf. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This Wiseguy location is barebones but has the basics. There are about 12 seats inside, a soda fountain, a bathroom. They provide napkin and shakers for parmesan and crushed red pepper.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great place to come get a late night greasy bite to eat if you are craving pizza and are in the area. It's not jumbo slice but they do have warm pizza. The wings were bbq and they were good. They just heated them back up and poured sauce in it. Same with the pizza, it's already made they just warm it up. read more

I've been coming for years but their pizza never disappoints. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Took my kids on President's Day for a quick treat and it's clean, the staff is polite, if not overly personable, and the pies are always amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Absolutely loved my mushroom truffle and Korean chicken slices and we had so much leftover! The garlic knots are still amazing but the marinara leaves a bit to be desired. It used to be better seasoned and served warm. This time it tasted like cold tomatoes. Blech. Adding garlic and Parmesan helped but they should go back to the old sauce for sure. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall it's ok Mass Ave and 4th so parking is what it is, the indoor seating is minimal but we always find it when we need it for which I'm grateful, and the outdoor seating is only good seasonally.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But it is nice when the weather is nice! We love Wiseguy (and it reheats really well)! read more

If you're looking for a quick bite of pizza this is the place to go. My favorite slice was the Grandma slice.

I don't know why this place is rated so high. If you've ever had NYC pizza - this place will leave you disappointed. It tastes like school pizza. My chicken bacon ranch slice - I was told it was only chicken and ranch with no bacon. I am assuming they ran out? It wasn't good. Stars come from it being a cheaper option / convenient. read more

They have so many different types of pizza and they all looked delicious. I stopped by there with a big group. I was traveling to dc for a conference and a bunch of us decided to go here during our lunch break since it was of walking distance from our venue. As you walk in, you fall in line. They got all the different pizzas displayed in front and you choose and tell them what you want and they'll grab your slice or what not and throw it into the pizza oven to get it hot again. The line moves fairly quick but it is a small place so try not to take too much time eating so that other patrons could eat as well. I got the backyard pizza which looked awesome.. it's funny because I'm a meat person and I ordered that pizza not realizing it was all veggies and beans and what not. When I got it I was kind of surprised but it was awesome. I did not expect any spice in it but it had peppers so do not be surprised by that. One of the best pizzas I've ever had and I really want to try the other pizzas they had as well. read more

Great crust and flavor pizza definitely check it out if you are near by! I was working in dc and had it all the time before starting work

Quick, Tasty Pizza Spot - 4/5 I always appreciate a quick, single-serving pizza place--especially when it's a favorite around the office. This time, I tried two different pizzas: a Nashville-inspired pie and a buffalo-style one. Both were solid choices with great flavor. I especially liked the creative touch of coleslaw on top of the Nashville pizza--it added a nice crunch and balance to the spice. Perfect for a fast, satisfying lunch. read more

Really 3.5. Not quite a NY slice and barely warm, but they were busy and had a lot of varieties available by the slice. Garlic knots were solid. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not much indoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Picked up some to go as we were staying around the corner at the Arlo. Wasn't too hungry and we only wanted a small pizza. The small is only available in cauliflower crust which seemed odd but whatever. Order the backyard which is veggie heavy. Really tasty and had a great kick to the sauce. Crust was thin and crispy, just how I like it. When I did pickup, they had a great selection of by the slice pizzas. A great way to experiment with other flavors. Would recommend. read more

First time trying WiseGuy Pizza and I'm impressed. We just needed a quick bite before headed to our next stop and Wiseguy did the job.

The garlic knots were yummy and fresh. The buffalo chicken pizza was great. I definitely look forward to returning and trying the other varieties offered. read more

What I love about Wiseguys is the unique flavors that you don't find at other D.C. pizza shops. I ordered the paneer tikka (my favorite), along with the Korean chicken and buffalo pizzas. The pizzas are made with high quality ingredients, great flavor and large portions. The staff were super friendly, they have both indoor/outdoor seating and are open later than many other food spots in the area. read more

True New York style pizza in a very convenient location right off the Mall! It beats out every fast food truck out there guaranteed. Don't even waste your time. You can smell the fire oven cooking the pizzas outside of Wiseguys. It's a small place and should be more of a takeout joint than a dine in. Especially if you get a whole pie like we did. If I lived in the apartments above I'd be trying out slices every week. We ordered our pizza at the counter. It didn't even take 30 minutes to get our pizza. I carried this giant box all the way back to our hotel, where we ate more than half and then slipped into a heavy food coma. The cheese was gooey, neutral, and delicious. And there's a lot of it. Plus we had sliced sausage, pepperoni, and italian sausage on top. A true meat feast. The dough was tasty, but it was a bit soggy at the end. The best part was the tomato sauce. I was not expecting it to be this good. I loved it all from the small business feel, the convenience, and the pizza of course! read more

Wiseguy Pizza, lose the name. I grew up with wiseguys. Bad image. My opinion. Now the pizza. Very good. Standard NYC-style pizza. Thin crust. Balance ratio of ingredients. Something for everyone. Is it the greatest slice I had; No. But they do a good job with their pizza. Now I also have a problem with asking for a tip. Especially after you made me wait while you collected your paycheck. I paid. Please give me my food. A counter person was distributing checks and I had to wait. If I was a wiseguy; y'all know the rest. I would certainly recommend this pizzeria. A good walking slice. New Yorkers know what I mean. Small. Some seating. read more
