I love the pizza here . It does have a New York vibe.. not really a dine in type of place unless you like eating standing up. But for the slice the price is amazing... 1 slice is about a small pizza. They also have wings and fries...Parking: You're also going to have to walk up to the place or find parking elsewhere. This place provides no parking lot . Why I rated the atmosphere 3 stars
Behind the Slice: Jumbo Slice Pizza’s Strengths and ConsiderationsDiscovering Jumbo Slice Pizza after watching a video on DC's best large pizza slices was a game-changer. Full transparency: the pizza here is beyond exceptional—no notes needed. However, my focus shifts to the customer experience, crucial for out-of-towners. The initial impression is hindered by a visibly dilapidated interior, lacking attention and care. Cleanliness concerns arise, impacting the perceived hygiene of the food station.Moreover, encountering an individual engaging in inappropriate activities (such as literally smoking crack out of a glass pipe) raises discomfort. It was around 6:30 PM when we arrived to eat so it was a lot to see at such an early hour. While understanding the need for a safe space, establishing conditions for shelter-seekers could enhance the atmosphere. And considering the winter conditions, I understand the need for a safe space, but owners could establish conditions—no drug paraphernalia. The lack of seating and the scent of smoke prompted us to grab our order and leave. Yet, the outstanding pizza, efficient service, and friendly kitchen staff can't be overlooked.Jumbo Slice Pizza has significant potential with its phenomenal pizzas, straightforward menu, and nostalgic 90s jumbo slices. However, a strategic investment in a well-maintained storefront is crucial. The perfect combination of jumbo pizza slices and a charming interior could evolve this phenomenal pizza spot to dominate as THE pizza spot in DC.For those seeking the perfect jumbo pizza slice in DC, Jumbo Slice Pizza is a 5/5, but the atmosphere is a 1/5, with hope that some tough love will be given to truly elevate and match the food.

This place is awful. Bought 4 slices of pizza tonight and opened one box to find someone’s broken glasses in the box with the pizza. Disgusting!! I called and the woman who runs the shop said “sorry what you want me to do about that” with total attitude and then hung up the phone. I was getting pizza here frequently but if that’s how you treat your customers, you just lost one.

The pizza was half cooked cold and disgusting. One slice was $11 and they already had it stacked sitting in boxes. Customer service in nonexistent in this place. They had dirty empty condiment bottles thrown about dirty counter tops. I had to ask them to refill it. Nobody cleans or fills in between customers. This place is only for drunk people who do not notice how sub par the food and service is.

Not sure what happened with this place but the pizza used to be the bomb! Did you change the bread flour because it used to be the perfect consistency with chewy dough and flaky crust but it’s definitely different.
I'm from Baltimore. Wanted to try it out while hanging with my girlfriend. We split a slice and both thought it was a good bite. Would get again for sure

Slice of pizza was indeed jumbo and goodCustomer service was just okay the gentleman could have been alittle more friendlierAnd atmosphere is what you expect on a strip where people hangout but doesn’t look the cleanest.
This place is awesome! Reminds me of real NY pizza - doughy and greasy and cheesy and delicious! You basically have to stand to eat, just a few chairs here and there, but it’s not a big deal. Service is great and quick too!
Fun to have a big slice of pizza

Coming into DC on a weekend, it’s quite a sight to see, students congregate here for a mid night meal after clubbing or parties.
