Wise Bowl (fast casual “healthy but not boring”) coming to former Carving Room space at 4th and Mass. Ave, NW (from folks behind Wiseguy Pizza!!)


300 Massachusetts Ave, NW at 4th St./H St./Mass Ave. NW

Carving Room closed here in October 2020 after opening in Feb. 2013. (NoMa location remains open.) But now some exciting news on their replacement! If Wise Bowl reminds you of Wiseguy Pizza (located next door) that’s no coincidence. But first some important housekeeping that I missed – Eater DC reported that “Reston, Va.-based Thompson Hospitality, the force behind such bars and restaurants as Hen Quarter, Matchbox, The Delegate, Austin Grill, and American Tap Room, just added another big name to its portfolio: essential pie chain Wiseguy Pizza.

Wiseguy founder Nuri Erol maintains a significant equity stake in the company, and diehard fans need not to fret — the menu will remain unchanged, Thompson says.”

I spoke with Nuri who tells me the other exciting news he and Thompson have planned – Wise Bowl.

Wisebowl is going to be healthy but not boring – think chicken, salmon, roasted vegetables and more but no red meat. Erol believes DC is missing this dining option – fast casual – delicious – high quality and won’t break the bank. This won’t be simply another salad spot. There will be Mediterranean, Mexican and other influences to achieve this goal, which should open later this year for lunch and dinner.

Stay tuned.
