Lots of Progress at Satellite Pizza Coming to 2047 9th St, NW (Behind 9:30 Club)

April 2012

We last checked out Satellite Pizza coming to 2047 9th St, NW (behind the 9:30 Club) in Nov. 2011. Here’s what it looked like then:

This place is looking great! I can’t wait for it to open. I am excited for a more unique pizza place in this area. We have plenty of generic pizza, but nothing more unique, like red rocks or Pete’s.

  Rustik, at 1st and Rhode Island NW, is unique and delish.

    And a 20 minute walk, on a non-direct path, across major roadways and with no direct (short of transferring) public transportation options. Not to mention a completely different neighborhood.

      No direct options from where? The 90 and 92 (which travel along U street) go pretty close to there (Florida and 1st), the 96 goes as far as New Jersey (5 minute walk) and Shaw Metro is a 12 minute walk at most. I’m not saying I’m not excited about a new pizza place even closer, but I’m not sure how much more direct you can get, unless you’re looking for public transportation that behaves like a taxi.

I heard the pizza thing was off the table, and it is going to be more of a diner/burger joint.

Whatever it is, it will do a killing next to 9:30 where there aren’t many places to catch pre or post-show dranks.

Off-topic, but why doesn’t Duffy’s have a huge sidewalk cafe setup? NIMBYs? It seems like they could have a great beer garden setup in good weather.

  Yes. Duffy sent around a letter to neighbors a while back asking for their support for a sidewalk cafe. I didn’t follow what happened after that, but I’m guessing there must have been some folks in the neighborhood opposing it.

    it was the neighbors the same reason why they never utilized their maximum operating hours i think closed around 12:30 on the weekdays or something.

    Yeah, aren’t there actual residential homes right next to Duffy’s?

Duffy’s was limited on their hours due to neighbors. They just recently have been allowed to stay open later.

Ewww is this seriously going to become a food establishment? From the looks of its surroundings I would never think about eating there…yuck! I have to try Rustik since this blog seems to be OBSESSED with it. Everytime there’s a post about food, somehow RUSTIK gets thrown in the conversation.
