Sylvia RFebruary 22, 2015They have all kinds of specialty pizzas. Although I tried a ton (including their apple pizza pie), the Cubano was by far the best! It doesn't sound good (mustard, pork, pickles) but it really is.
Sharie BethNovember 9, 2015The staff here is fantastic! Pur waitress was so friendly and the food was so great. A little pricey but it was worth it. We brought family here from out of town and she absolutely loved it
Lysle SDecember 27, 2013Vegetarian and vegan options. Try the deep dish vegan pizza with vegan cheese and vegan sausage... Excellent! You have to call ahead to order vegan pizza.
Cassie GibbJune 23, 2018Deep dish pizza, their crust is amazing. Quality of food is amazing. Service is great. No complaints! I split the pizza, it looks like a lot of marinara sauce but it’s not bad at all.
Nicole BrinkerSeptember 2, 2012What a wonderful choice! The service was excellent, the chicken wings were the meatiest I've ever had, the pizza was to die for, AND they have an extensive selection of diverse beers! A must in DC!
Sylvia ChanJuly 3, 2015Loved the food and the deep dish is good but expect cheese and heaviness, which later I kinda wished I ordered thin crust instead but nonetheless the toppings made it still worthwhile.
SaeedMay 31, 2021we had dip dish and thin crust both, thin crust was our favorite. the photo is half and half which is a good option to taste two different pizzas
The Berkley perfectly balances the acidity of dark olives and tomato sauce with roasted zucchini, onions, and Pi's buttery crust. Brilliant choice for a summer evening.
Daniel GraysonDecember 2, 2016Deep dish goodness. Delicious crust, and you can split the pie 50/50 to test the options. I loved the Kirkland.
Dianna KJanuary 22, 2016They took off their pre-designed vegan pie from the menu but anything can be made vegan w their sausage and daiya. Their pizza is delicious and a must for vegans in DC!!
Brent GatewoodJuly 23, 2017On the fence here. Service good, great beer selection. Had a deep dish pizza. Ingredients good, pizza average. I eat a lot of deep dish in Chicago-definitely better-will be back for thin crust.
Deyon JohnsonMarch 25, 2013The thin crust was delicious. And they have a great array of veer for the beer lovers. I truly enjoyed the bar zone. However I also liked the idea of the private dining area.
Jonathan HanenSeptember 28, 2015Get the maplewood made into a deep dish pizza. It's the closest you can get to real Chicago pizza (Uno, Due, Gino's East, Lou Malnotti's, Giordano's).- Lindsay D.August 31, 2018The deep dish is amazing - the best I've had. Their sauce is wonderful - tastes so fresh. My favorite is the Bucktown deep dish.
The deep-dish cornmeal crust pizza is amazing, and they have good beer and cocktails. They are friendly with kids and the place is so loud your kids can be pretty wild without bothering anyone.
Jon DeWitteSeptember 11, 2014The deep dish is fantastic (some of the best we've had in D.C.). Additionally, they carry the delicious porter "Poet" from New Holland Brewery.
Patrick CashmanNovember 13, 2022Great pizza and salads. Some tasty craft beer and very good service. Avonda was an amazing server and was a lot of fun too!!!- John TaylorSeptember 1, 2014The tasty Pi Common beer is brewed specifically for the Pi pizzerias by Schlafly, a Saint Louis microbrewery. It's essentially a hoppy California common.
Nicole StahleckerMarch 13, 2016Gluten free crust and beer, vegan cheese and sausage (also GF). A little expensive
Wil JeudyAugust 9, 2016Here again. Impressed again. Thin crust pepperoni ftw. Garlic bread is all right. Decor and ambiance is terrific.
Make sure to get a deep dish pizza--I had the Berkeley and it was fantastic. They also have gluten-free pizza, but that's only available for small thin crust pizzas.
Unqualified OpinionsSeptember 7, 2011The BLT salad adds a touch of heat with pepperoncini to an interesting riff on a wedge salad while you wait for your deep dish. If you're an olive fan, indulge in the green olives on your pizza.
Rashid KhazeinasabNovember 30, 2021It has a great ambiance, the personnels are nice and friendly. The taste if pizza and wings are delicious.
Great beer and wine selection. I always get their Lincoln Park thin crust pizza nom nom. Love their hummus as well!
Joe ZMay 9, 2019This is your best bet for pizza in the Penn Quarter area. They have a variety of dishes and the portion sizes are not overwhelming.
Steven EllisAugust 23, 2014The best pizza we have ever had in the States. The selection of draft beers is amazing. Try the Porter.
Nick CollinsJuly 7, 2013Love this place, if I had a pizza bar this totally would be the name. Great pizza and beer, could you ask for anything more?
Melinda JacksonJuly 16, 2015Great beer selection. Didn't eat but I hear the pizza rules. Great staff.
Hannah LuddyJanuary 5, 2017AMAZING deep dish pizza! Great atmosphere for a date or a family meal. Garlic bread also good.
Matt BernsteinSeptember 30, 2014Lincoln Park and Kirkwood are both very good. I liked Lincoln park better because I'm more of a thin crust person.
Bill SilcockAugust 9, 2013Bada bing salad is the best. Excellent combination of flavored snd texture
Justin ThorpFebruary 8, 2012Grab a deep dish. While you wait get the fresh moz as an app. Their beer list is solid too. Lots of great stuff on tap.
John BloomerApril 29, 2016This was a great experience overall. Service, food, atmosphere, everything was great.
Shane RMarch 27, 2013The Kirkwood was amazing! We ordered a small & a snack. Fed our family of four. Service upstairs was great!- Wil JeudyAugust 16, 2014Terrific pizza, comfortable decor, tasty beer. I had The Hill (thin crust) -- great!
Jenny GirardApril 5, 2014Great for everyone! Options for vegans for vegetarians anyone! Great for groups! Prices are good!
Sara CaldwellApril 5, 2013Great draft beer list and even better pizza! This place might be my favorite pizza place in DC proper.- Greg GJune 10, 2017I had the thin crust Delmar pizza and it was excellent! Service was good until I received my food. After that, my waiter was nowhere to be found. Had to hunt him down in order to receive the check.
Anupam ChakravartyMarch 22, 2012Great food! But they were a nightmare about getting the check figured out among a large group, so bring cash & pay together. Also, you have to bring your own birthday candles...
Derek JonesDecember 17, 2012Excellent service and delicious food! The bruschetta appetizer was piled high and The Hill pizza was sweet and delectable.
Hey vegans: Daiya cheese available, thin crust is vegan, and deep dish vegan crust can be ordered with advance notice.- EmilyOctober 29, 2011Can't make up your mind? They let you order half/half pizzas. Garlic bread is a head of roasted garlic with a dish of melted butter. Delicious!!!
