50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Washington

“Absolutely incredible food. Our Lyft driver recommended we try it, now I'm sad we live 4 hours away from some of the best pizza I've ever had.“

“The pizza is perfect. To tell you what to get would do you a disservice because you really can’t go wrong here & you deserve to explore all the flavors. My personal favorite is the burrata Margherita slice. They put fresh burrata on top. ENJOY.“

“I came here during my lunch break on a weekday. All the pizza options were available and I got the buffalo chicken slice. I don't make that much $, but the pricing was totally worth it. ($6 I believe) The pictures don't do it justice, but if you like NY style thin crust with that grease drip, you'll love this. The crust had that dough bubble that I love, and you could hear the crunch echo throughout the cafeteria. I would love to see some gluten-light offerings in the future but for now? A quick bite for good quality? You won't be disappointed.“

“We are tourist & was searching for a place too eat since our first choice for dinner totally ignored us after we sat there 30 minutes we left. This pizza joint is absolutely delicious. The thin crust was delicious especially on the cheese pizza. The only negative thing I have too say is y’all charging too much for a house salad. I mean if you gonna charge $14 @ least give me something other than basic lettuce.“

“Great local pizza place, crust is amazing, fresh toppings and good cookies!“

“Our favorite is the Nonna! Our go-to pizza place for an easy night in. More expensive than your typical takeout pizza, but far more delicious, and great to support a local business. Very easy to order ahead and pickup“

“Timber has fantastic pizza and great people! I end up there for lunch almost every Friday.“

“Fun sitting on the swings to eat! Sausage pizza was really good and my daughter said the gluten free margherita pizza was good, too!“

“**updated to 5 stars they’ve made the change and now seal it

I LOVE their pizza! The Macha Ron is to die for! The kale Cesar is delicious The only thing is I wish when you ordered through delivery that they taped the box close so that you know it’s sealed/safe, giving them 4 stars for that. Hoping an owner/manager sees this so they make the change“

“I came to Minya’s Pizza with my family after hearing about the restaurant on Fox News, and since we were visiting from out of state, we knew we had to stop by. The pizza was absolutely delicious, and we also tried the traditional breakfast (ful), which was so flavorful. What really made the experience special was the service, Rahel took such great care of us and made us feel so welcome. The ambience was beautiful, with all the pictures and artwork of Asmara adding such a warm and authentic touch, truly making me feel like I was back home. Everything about our visit was wonderful, and we’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in DC! Thank you Raheley for the wonderful service! Wishing you all the best.“

“Pizza is very good, reasonably priced. they sell by the slice and offer meal deals. Definitely recommend“

“Our dining experience deserves the 5 star I rated. 1) our food (chicken wings, burger and gluten free pizza) was cooked to perfection, 2) the service was to die for, 3) the chef personally address my wife's food allergy and her accommodating my wife convinced us this restaurant really cares about patrons dining experience and 4) this restaurant proves that cleanliness is next to Godliness.
A special thanks goes out to Chef Kianni, Server Ki and Server Nubia.
F.Y.I.: This was our first time visiting this restaurant and we will return again and bring our family and friends.“

““Great restaurant! The tea was delicious, the pizza vegetarian & tibs and doro was fresh and tasty, and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly Nati & bini and very welcoming. I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely come back.”“

“Great turkey and pavilion sandwich, on soft sub bread. made fresh and melts in your mouth. Tiny but quaint place to eat. if choosing to dine in“

“This is a new pizza joint in Dupont. The pizza is solid and tasty. The crust and undercarriage is great. I got the Meatsa pie and it does not disappoint. Flavor profile is good - from sauce to the toppings - savory and rich without being overly salty and leaving you fee bloated. Definitely will be back for more! I give Protest Pizza four stars because NO ONE gets five stars..thats just crazy talk.“

“Only been once but loved it. We had the evergreen salad and and supreme pizza, with sausage. Great food and great vibe.

Since had their roasted mushroom and the smothered onion. The latter is now my favorite. Love this place. The service too is always great“

“pizza“

“Every bite, Always right! I appreciate your drivers and will tip them.“

“The food was delicious.“

“A very inviting corner restaurant, great for people watching and cocktails. The drinks were nice and the atmosphere was lux. We went on a Saturday and it just felt like they needed a manager around. Felt like they were really understaffed and not ready for the crowds. There were some people who had worked there longer and were directing others, and the food did come out of the kitchen timely. But there wasn't a sense of table service really, you just catch them when you can, know the candle won't get lit even after you asked and teach the server how to swipe the card. I wish they had someone tending to things, but maybe when it's slower it will be better. The pizza was good, and lots of pepperoni. I wished it wasn't quite as soggy in the middle but it tasted good. And the burrata had no flavor, no nice olive oil or pepper, very bland, but it was a hearty portion. Can't complain about the drinks. I can sense when there's no service concept so I hope they get it together.“

“I have loved many pizza places. None of them has been as consistently amazing as Martha Dear. The guanciale and arugula pie I had last night is another utterly stunning iteration. I will think about this one in my sleep. I will crave it. As much as I will stand on a soapbox telling anyone who will listen that Martha Dear is not just THE best pizza in the DMV, but one of the best restaurants in the area, it is the conspicuously kind service that is the first thing I will mention. If you’ve never been, put Martha Dear at the very top of your restaurant to-do list. The very top.“

“Great service @ DC the seafood appetizer was delicious!“

“Great people, great service, great food! I've been on a mission to find Eggs Benny done right - thank you! For the breakfast, and for being an awesome part of the adventure. 😊“

“Lovely Place, Great Customer Service, Food always Fresh and Hot , Always Clean

Vegetarian options: Alot of Vegan options

Kid-friendliness: Nice for children

Wheelchair accessibility: Open area“

“We went to hear the band and try the cuisine. The band (Ambience) and the food were excellent!“

“I was visiting DC & had the butternut squash pizza--it was fantastic!“

“Let me tell you — Rome Pizza is a hidden gem! The pizza is always hot, fresh, and made with love. I stop by for the lunch special more often than I should (my high blood pressure reminds me every time 🤣), but it’s just that good!

Now let’s talk about the berry juice — my goodness! It’s honestly out of this world. Fresh, perfectly sweet, and ice-cold — it’s like something you’d find at a fancy café, not your everyday pizza spot. You can tell they make it with real fruit and care.

I had the pleasure of meeting Terry and his wife, and they are just the sweetest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. You can feel their pride and passion in every bite and sip.

If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor — grab a slice and that berry juice. Thank me later!“

“fast & great pizza. more people support this nice place.“

“Excelente servicio al cliente. Los ingredientes de muy buena calidad y el sabor es delicioso. 100% recomendado.“

“Hot take — More restaurants need to be deaf-owned. I can't stand going to a restaurant and having to scream at the person next to me to have a conversation. Surprisingly, there was still music, but they're not blasting it.

The pizza and wine were delicious and paired great with each other! You're not going there for the finest of either, but they're also not cutting corners. We ordered a second margherita pizza immediately after ordering the first one.

Our server was Esmerelda and she was patient with my slow caveman-quality ASL. I was able to mention that it was my friend's birthday and with an ID confirmation, the staff got together and signed "happy birthday," which was a nice and sweet surprise!

I would totally recommend this place for anyone looking for a light meal without breaking the bank. No need to be intimidated by the language barrier either. You can easily point at what you want, but if you want to make more of an effort, you can scan the QR codes at the table to view animated GIFs of the staff signing things you might request like, "beer", "wine", or "parmesean cheese" — the essentials!“

“Thank you so much for having my friends Kristina, Alex and I for dinner today. I just want to say that everything we had was great, my favorite being the la calabrese! Meiling took such good care of us, she is a wonderful host and we had some great conversations with her. We’ll def be back in the future to try some of the other pizzas. Your decor and ambience is fantastic as well, I really felt like I was at restaurant in Italy! Keep up the good work and thanks again for a wonderful evening!“

“vegan veggie cheese pizza . best pizza I've had in years.“

“We love Washington DC so my wife and I wanted some pizza. We were staying at the Embassy suites in NW so I googled pizza that was close by. Pizzoli‘s pizzeria came up. It looked good so we took an Uber there and the pizza was excellent. We ordered a simple pepperoni pizza and my wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. Made from scratch good. We were a little bit surprised in that it was a smaller establishment as we thought we were going to a place that had lots of tables, etc. This place has one inside table and five or six countertops to eat at and then they have several tables outside but as noted, the food was fantastic. Would certainly recommended, and we will be back home future visits.“

“In D.C. there is plenty of average pizza, and some above average pizza.

But exceptional pizza is tough to find. Pupatella Neapolitan Pizza is exceptional.

The service was fun.

They must use only certain ingredients, only a specific type of oven and dough to keep their Neapolitan rating issued by the Italian government.

If you want a better pizza you can go to NYC or Italy, but in DC, Pupatella Neapolitan Pizza is a good as it gets.

First, the flame fired dough with burnt brown and black bits on an actual Italian pizza dough.

Second, the list of ingredients are approved by the Italian government -- no pineapple, no ketchup and no ranch and buffalo wing sauce -- just cheese and three ingredients.

I had cheese, sausage, garlic and mushrooms on mine -- it was SO GOOD. The mushrooms were so great, not canned, not thin, but thick and sauteed and tasty!“

“Solace and beer. Yes!!!!!“

“on point!! don't shy away from the menu, everything we had was delicious.“

“Terrific service and friendly casual atmosphere. Great Detroit style pizza as well. Dog friendly too“

“Amazing pizza that is only outdone by incredible staff! As tourist we sat back and watched how the staff interacted with regulars & newcomers & it was heartwarming. If we lived here we’d eat here every week! Happy hour prices are so good you have no excuse not to visit!“

“If you’re looking for a place that serves up dry ciders, look no further. You have to order everything online and they bring it out to you. I’ll definitely return to buy some more ciders to-go.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. CERTIFIED PIZZA MADNESS!!!
This place is ran by carb loving, cheese loving, and quality loving angels.
I drove 8 hours to DC. Got to my air BNB and needed something to make the drive worth it. I believe divine intervention placed me where I was so that when I looked up pizza the closest place was Mad Over Pizza
I got the supreme pizza and the cheese with extra cheese and MAN did they deliver.
I ate both pizzas. With a glaze in my eyes I then devoured 2 orders of their delicious garlic bread.
The owner even threw in some extra garlic sauce because “while you didn’t order it I want you to have the best experience possible”
I’d have given 6 stars but I hear that’s illegal. Just like this place…
Illegally delicious and illegally mad.“

“Amazing patriotic establishment. Thank you!“

“Amazing patriotic establishment. Thank you!“

“DJ greeted us as soon as we got in the door. I was told by co-workers to try this place. Highly recommend. Pizza was excellent and generous helpings for sure. Customer Service and conversations were awesome with the employees. Definitely give this place a try! 1 slice is good for 1 person!“

“This place is what a “grab n go” pizza slice spot should be. Excellent pizza (Detroit style slice with pepperoni and hot honey was delicious), very fast, and a cozy atmosphere to listen to Katy Perry on the speakers for five minutes before getting on with your day. 10/10.“

“Best Detroit style pizza I have ever had. Michaela was an incredible server. I recommend location near Howard University in DC!! A must when in town.“

“Pizzarro is such a neighborhood gem! I swung by for a jumbo pepperoni slice after a late-night stroll and it hit every note—crispy crust, melty cheese, and loads of flavor. The staff was super friendly and easygoing, which made the whole vibe feel welcoming and laid-back.

I appreciate that they've got Mediterranean options too—grabbed a Greek salad one time, and it was fresh and balanced (great for pairing with their pizzas). The casual, cozy atmosphere is perfect whether you’re dining solo, grabbing friends, or craving something late at night.

Parking can be a bit tricky on Florida Ave, but trust me—it’s worth circling for. If you're ever in Shaw and want solid pizza without fuss, this is the spot. Highly recommend!“

“Pizzas 🍕 delicious and good“

“Best Wings in the city, extra Crispy and Extra sauce“

“My experience at Oyster Oyster was wonderful. Every dish was creative and beautifully executed, and I loved hearing the stories behind where each ingredient came from. Everything we tried was flavorful and unique. The only thing keeping this from being a perfect five was that the main entrée (the eggplant dumplings) didn’t quite deliver the same punch as the earlier courses. It was still good, just not quite the showstopper I expected as the final savory dish. Overall, though, a memorable and thoughtful dining experience.“
