The vegan pizza was SO GOOD! My friend also enjoyed her non-vegan option. There was a line out the door when we arrived but services was quick, kind and efficient. I will be back! read more

Unfortunately this was the worst pizza I have tasted in DC. Soggy, underbaked, and toppings were of very poor quality. Maybe we just were there on a bad night. read more

Small place but pizza was delicious. One of the best I've had. Several toppings to choose from. Visiting DC area.

Slices tried: paneer tikka, margherita, Korean chicken, chicken paneer. One bite and we were in LOVE. Came in on a Saturday night around 11 after a play and we really loved the variety, especially since I am a vegetarian and DH is most certainly a meat lover. The sauce on the tikka inspired pizzas is a MUST try, it's creamy but not heavy and still has that extra kick of heat that we both loved. The Korean chicken is unusually looking but don't be deterred the flavors work well together in pizza form. The margherita is a classic and they did it justice here with a crisp crust (but not burnt), a flavorful tomato sauce and fresh cheese and basil. We already have new slices to try picked out for next time (there will be a next time). This one is well worth the wait in line! read more

I haven't written a review in ages, but I had to log in just to sing the praises of the VEGAN SUPREME. Attention vegans, vegetarians, veggie-curious, people that love someone who is... this is it. Hands down the best slice of Vegan pizza I've ever had. A lot of places offer vegan options by throwing some unseasoned protein and uncooked veggies at a plate or wrap... Not the case here. The "meat" is seasoned, crispy on the edges, and honestly so close to what I remember of their meatball pizza, that I made my husband double check, haha. I don't know what brand of cheese they use, but it's melty and not sweet - a problem with some vegan alternatives . There is a good bit of heat with the addition of some jalapeños, which balances the whole pie read more

I have been to Wiseguys at least 15 times since moving to the neighborhood 10 months ago. Take note: although they say they close at 2 am I've seen them serving pizza until 4 am on the weekends. Whether you're getting a slice to stave away a hangover after hitting the clubs, feeling lazy and not wanting to cook on the weekend, Wiseguys is always there for you. It's extremely convenient for me since I literally live in the same building. Even though I've been so many times, I've actually only ordered 5 kinds of pizza. I guess I'm a creature of habit. Of the slices I've had this is my ranking. Meatlover - Meatlover is probably 90% of my orders. But not overwhelming to the point that the toppings threaten the structural integrity of the slice Wiseguy meatball - pretty interesting. It has extra sauce laid out vertically on the slice. In addition to meatballs there are chunks of Parmesan (I think?) cheese. Pepperoni - it's pepperoni. Need I say more? Grandma - crunchy crust cut in squares. Thick at the edges. No meat but the basil and cheese is generally pretty good. Mushroom Truffle - I love truffle but was honestly not impressed by this slice. It's rather bland and uninteresting, without much truffle flavor. read more

Wiseguys makes great pizza. If you want pizza for an event though, don't order catering. We've given them multiple opportunities, but they are consistently late and refuse to take any accountability for the orders not being on time, or for items that are forgotten. I can't emphasize enough how frustrating the "catering" option is. It's a real shame, as the pizza is delish. read more

I'm from New Jersey. Wiseguys was good. That's saying a lot. The late night fix you need. Go check them out for a slice of pepperoni, you won't be disappointed. Delicious!! read more

Wiseguy Pizza - Pep and Nashville hot chicken - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

It had been a couple of years since I'd been to Wiseguys and it was a nice day outside I decided to go. They're close to the office. They have a variety of options to choose from, including different crusts, drinks and desserts. I'm more of a traditional pizza eater so I ordered a slice of pepperoni. When I got the slice and open the box. There was no pepperoni in the center of the slice. They took it back and prepared another slice for me. When I got the second slice I went to the car to eat it and that's when realized that the bottom of the pizza was stuck to the box and there was very, very little crust at all. It was mostly just the toppings in my hand. While I love a thin crust pizza, this wasn't it. I didn't go back inside to say anything. I just ate it because the taste was good. I wasn't impressed with this visit at all but I would go back and give them another shot. For the most part, this is nothing like the Wiseguys that I remember. read more

Easily the best pizza-by-the-slice restaurant in DC. No doubt there. Advice: GET THE GARLIC KNOTS. They aren't just burnt bread pieces with no substance or flavor (like they usually are). They were so buttery and garlicky and soft... I swear I've been dreaming about them ever since. AND THEY HAVE SPRECHER ROOT BEER! Although I loved their red pizza sauce, I didn't think their pizza was out of this world. But definitely use this opportunity to try the slices with noodles or paneer! read more

Super salty- the pizza is average, at best. Pizza charred underneath, Not sure why this place has so many positive reviews

The food was not good, people were lying saying they refunded the money and I considered it poor customer service and talked with 4 different people and they would not give me the correct manager's name. Very disappointed in these people and even more disappointed in the service, and food. read more

I've had worse, but this is bad pizza. It seems to have been cooked in an oven, which makes it better than most of the other pizza in the area. But this is stadium food. read more

Do I go out of my way to make my way over to Wiseguy Pizza frequently? You're absolutely right I do. The Pros: (1) In-and-out service and dining. I mean it's pizza by the slice? What more could you want than having it hot and ready? The guys behind the counter are friendly but want to keep the line moving, and thankfully, it doesn't take much to get people in-and-out. Pick a slice, grab a drink, maybe get a dessert(?), pay, and find somewhere to sit. No hassle, no pains. (2) The pizza. You know how I said "what more could you want"? Well, you *could* want great pizza, and this is where you'd find it. For my own personal reasons, I'm a pretty big fan of pizza-by-the-slice especially when its from a local place that is not Little Caesars. It's warm, it's well cooked, and the options are numerous and plentiful. I can confidently say on the 5 or 6 times I've made my way to Wiseguy over the last few months, I have never had a bad slice of pizza from them. (3) The prices. I've yet to find a local place that can beat the price of Wiseguy pizza for the quality they deliver. Part of it comes from the by-the-slice pricing model, and part of it comes from a well-run establishment not trying to boost their margins on pizza. I commend the place for not raising prices, and Wiseguy if you're reading, I'll probably come anyways if you bump your prices like a dollar. The Cons: (1) "Hot and ready" may not have been the best way to describe Wiseguy pizza. From what I've seen, the pizzas can sit "out" (they're in a glass case, so don't worry about pests or anything gross) for anywhere from 10-20 minutes at a time without being sold/eaten. This means that anytime you order a slice, they usually toss it in the oven to heat it up. I don't really fault the place itself, because it seems like the only way to reasonably sell pizza-by-the-slice, it just kind of sucks to see moderately-cooled pizza have to be tossed in an oven just to sell it. Yeah I know, "beggars can't be choosers", but this is Yelp, and you should know I'll be doing both. Conclusion Come to Wiseguy. Give it a shot. I can't begin to tell you the number of times I've walked around the Mall or downtown to do errands and then developed a pizza craving, only for my hunger to be satiated by DC's pizza darling. There may be better pizza out there, and for better prices too, but in a world where we are losing sight of well-run establishments places fast, Wiseguy is an important reminder of what we desperately need: pizza-by-the-slice. read more

We ordered 5 single pieces of pizza. Different toppings. 1. Chicken parm 2.meat lover's 3.supreme type 4.spicy pepperoni and sausage (2) Pizza was very good. Crust was crunchy. It was hot. It was pricey. For 5 slices and two drinks it costs us $32.00. And there were beggars out front. We sat outside and at least two people came to us begging for money for pizza. I didn't like it. We couldn't eat comfortably. The service was pretty decent. read more

Pizza was great! Exactly how pizza should be made! Completely enjoyed every bite! Hit the spot!

The staff seemed pretty distracted and inattentive when I walked in to order. I ordered two slices of cheese pizza for my kids and a cauliflower pizza for myself. I asked for Spinach on my pizza and was told they didn't have it, so I asked for chicken, tomatoes and olives instead. My kids got their pizza right away and finished it. I waited about 20 minutes for mine. When I got to the car I realized they didn't put the olives on the pizza which further tells me I wasn't exactly being listened too. The cauliflower pizza was okay. But I don't think I'll be going back. Customer service is important to me. read more

Wiseguy Pizza - My slice, and the front indoor area - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Selling NY Pizza in DC? So you wanna be a Wise Guy huh? Well watch yourself Giuseppe or you'll end up at the bottom of the East... Potomac River. Would you like some concrete shoes Luigi? I didn't think so. All this aside, when I say that this is the best pizza in the DC/DIstrict/DMV/whatever you want to call it area... that's really not saying much. Pizza around here leaves a lot to be desired, and most of that which it leaves to be desired can only be satiated somewhere like NY, Buffalo or Chicago. However I have to be honest. With their slightly high prices, iffy service, massive long lines, cops coming in and out, and huge selections, as well as their open-until-sunrise (not really but nearly) hours of operation, I was a little hopeful. I was correct to be hopeful. This slice would hold its own in NYC. It wouldn't be the best in town. It wouldn't be one of the top 20. Maybe not top 50. But it'd be okay. Maybe a four star in NYC. Or in Buffalo. But in DC I have to give it a 5, because it's basically the only place which actually makes edible authentic NY Pizza. Well done guys. Very Wise of you. But if an employee is in the bathroom, leave him well alone. Because if you knock to see if it's empty, he might burst out of there and try and fight you. I'm not afraid of you dude, you're about 5 foot 3 and you just made me a delicious pizza. You can't be this good at pizza and also be good at fighting. Sorry. I tried to pretend to be slightly intimidated just to make you feel good but I don't think I did a good job. Chill out broseph. Also I took my cousin from Deutschland here and he loved it. And massive props to Mo for being the person that told me to go here, and ironically I now have given it a higher rating than he did. And I guess if the 5 foot 3 guys is anything to go by, it might get renamed Challenged-For-Size-Guy NY Pizza. read more

Three and a half stars. Craving food after midnight on a weekend and don't want to deal with the belligerent drunks at the usual late night eats? Wiseguys is far enough from the insanity that the waits aren't long for a kitchen open until the wee hours in DC. A healthier and tastier choice than Jumbo Slice (I'm looking at you, Keon D), definitely worth the moderate portioning by the slice. Shakers of Parmesan and red pepper flakes at each table grouping, friendly busboy and assembly line. Dessert cake slices and cannolis with chocolate chips looked huge. Street parking wasn't terribly difficult. Bathroom requires a key. From getting into line to order call, my wait was barely over 5 minutes. Fair amount of non-alcoholic beverages to choose from in the fridges, including Mexican coke. Good amount of seating, pretty clean and basic decor in the feel of Hollywood namesake. Mushroom truffle pizza was okay, too much truffle oil for my taste. I actually preferred the Godfather, called out as meat lover's, and would gladly get it again. Neither was too oily, and both had just enough cheese and a thin, semi-crispy crust that enlightened me to why people make a big deal about foldable New York pizza. Liberal sandwiching of paper plates kept the integrity of the slices whole and separate in a compact pizza box. I'll be back for the glistening garlic knots (garlic ladyfists, more like) and to try their other $5 signature slices. read more

Wiseguy Pizza - Must be good, as there is a line out the door! - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

While I started off as a big fan of Wiseguy, my last few visits there have left a little bit to be desired. The pizza doesn't seem to have that crisp New York-style crust anymore, being a bit thicker and chewier than when they first opened. I also noticed that the condiments (like garlic and the red pepper flakes) are now in open bowls just sitting out in the dining area, rather than in shakers as they had been in the past. That's a big turn-off to me - and the cheese graters, one of the unique things about Wiseguy, are long gone. What's really soured me over my last couple of visits, though, is the staff. On this last trip, I ordered a couple of pepperoni slices, with the guy behind the counter quickly serving me two slices of pepperoni, telling me that he had just taken the slices out of the oven and that they were piping hot. Of course, they weren't, being more towards a warmish room temperature. In the past, the slices behind the counter have *always* gone back into the oven before serving, but obviously not any more. Could I get them heated up? I could if the guy behind the counter hadn't disappeared and if the cashier was even borderline helpful - but the cashier barely said anything to me. After all that, I guess it was silly of me to expect a "thank you" given how much service here has gone downhill. If the staff can't be bothered, neither can I. read more

Wiseguy is open until 5 a.m. Need I go on? And the pizza is good. So we could really just end the review now. Skip jumbo slice and head here. It's clean, bright, has plenty of seating, is reasonably priced, and has different options for slices. My cheese slice was excellent--tons of cheese, right amount of sauce, and crisp crust. Same thing for the margherita (well, less cheese. But still good). Tip: If you need the restroom, there's a key. This is good to know so that you will not stand in front of the restroom continuously knocking and trying the handle, until another patron walks up with a key. However, the staff saw this happen and failed to mention there was a key, so I'd say that they need nicer staff. But you don't come here for the staff. read more

It's pretty efficient late night pizza place. I attended an event at capital arena which ended by 1:30. Unexpectedly late. That and no Ubers due to crazy traffic and road closures , finding late night snack was a task. However. Thanks to fellow yelpers, i found this place. Pretty close walk from capital one arena. About 10-15 min. And you get there - well i get there - and walla- everyone else is there. However. No issue. It's pretty fast moving. Pizzas sold by slice or whole. Very efficient staff. Some tables set up. So you can eat there. Not sure about the restrooms as with this volume of people - i just decided to not look into it. Pizza was delicious. Thin crust not too much sauce. And yummy cheese. My partner didn't like the sausage on his pizza. But. Not to say it's bad. Just not to his liking - too slimy for him. Never had sausage. So. I ll take his word for it. They have varieties and vegan pizza is on the menu. So. If in a jam and need late night snack - it's def a winner. No Kodak moment this time. As it was freezing. And i was starving. read more

Who's the Wise Guy who came up with this delicious pizza restaurant? Who ever it was, is very Wise because this pizzeria is Awesome! You can pick from about a dozen different one of a kind pizzas and get one slice or buy a whole pizza. Personally I like to pick and choose one or two delicious slices at a time. Take out is best here, but there are some outside seating if you want to chill. When the locals crave delicious pizza this is where they go. Wise Guy will make you a pizza you can not refuse.

I would give it like 4.5 stars. Really good quick pizza place. They have a pretty decent selection of pizzas (bbq chicken, veggie, truffle, buffalo chicken, and more) I got a slice of buffalo chicken and a garlic knot. I really liked the buffalo chicken- it was tangy, spicy, flavorful, with nice melty cheese. Just note that this is actually pretty spicy. Left my mouth pretty numb/stinging but i like it a lot! GET A GARLIC KNOT! I l loved it. They heat your slice(s) in an open oven for a bit after you order so you get a nice hot piece of pizza. I would deduct half a star just because my one slice and garlic knot was over $5, so might be slightly on the expensive side, but I'd def pay it again. It was worth it and the slice was a pretty big size. They offer more than the average cheese/pepperoni pizza that you could get off a stand in NY for like $2 so, I think it's worth it. Great place to get a pizza fix/snack. read more

Great Pizza and great service, closet thing to NYC style I've had, gives off a Joe's Pizza vibe!!

Very unique pizzeria! Worth trying at least once. Some pizzas, like their Chicken Parm and Penne Pasta, taste exactly like you would imagine them too. Not bad, but not out-of-this-world good. The Chicken Tikka has a kick but it's good. Same with their Korean pizza. Again, would go just for the experience. read more

I've been to a lot of pizza shops in NYC as I live and work there and this place definitely has a fighting chance to compete with all the other shops. The pizza selections offered are amazing and I could spend an entire month here just to try every different toppings that they offer. I got the potato bacon slice and it did not disappoint at all. It is definitely better than some of the pizza places in NYC and unfortunately I'm not from the area. Hopefully I will be back in DC soon to try the variety of topping slices. read more

5 stars for food and flavor, 0 stars for service. I've spent hundreds of dollars at this location. Tonight, after walking my service dog, we popped in to pick up food on the way home. One of the workers was incredibly rude to me - refused to acknowledge me to take my order, tried to take the order of the man behind me instead, and then yelled at me to never bring a dog back! Well - sorry buddy - she's got papers and is legally allowed to be here, thanks for checking (not)! Worse yet, there is ALWAYS a small gang of mentally unwell people lingering right outside. Tonight when we exited, an unstable woman (unprompted) with no mask on got 1 inch from my face and screamed "BITCH" and just laughed at how startled I was. She spit on me during her process of yelling. Wise guys management needs to start regularly calling police to arrest the people who harass their patrons - or their patrons will stop coming! They should also train their employees on not discriminating against patrons. Very sad to see a place with great food take a turn for the worse... read more
