Thanks to a tipster for sending word that Upper Crust Pizzeria is coming to 1301 U Street, NW in the former U Sushi space which moved inside neighboring Sala Thai back in July. Upper Crust Pizzeria briefly had a downtown location but closed after a year due to some bankruptcy issues. Apparently that’s been worked out – their website says:
“Since its inception in 2001, The Upper Crust Pizzeria has been serving award-winning pizza to Boston-area residents craving something delicious and extraordinary. In January 2013, new owners and management expanded upon the original concept: use fresh ingredients in traditional and unexpected ways on top of a flavorful crust. The menu has grown from classic combos to more unique and daring pairings, including pizzas like The Uncommon, The Fenway, Cameron’s BBQ and more. Any pizza can be made white (without tomato sauce) or red (without cheese) and is available on our traditional, whole wheat or gluten-free crust.
From our original storefront on Beacon Hill’s historic Charles Street, to any of our other metro area and suburban locations, customers can grab takeout, get delivery or choose to dine in. Our award-winning architectural spaces include open kitchens, pizza pan-decorated ceilings and high-definition flat screens, all adding up to deliver a truly unique experience that can only be described as Upper Crust.”

“Exciting news! We’ve teamed up with Rob Sonderman @ DCity Smokehouse to create the BRISKET KOLACHE. Rob’s own brisket paired with pickled jalapeños, cheese & a bit of DCity BBQ sauce.

“Dear PoPville,
I would like to thank the stranger who helped make a 911 call on V Street yesterday [Saturday]. I rushed out of my house around 6pm yesterday like a crazy lady not knowing what to do with my unresponsive 9month old baby and grabbed the first person I saw and asked him to dial 911. He was so helpful talking to the operator and waiting for help to come. I was so caught up in the moment and only realized much later when we were sitting in the ER that I forgot to ask for his name and thank him properly. Definitely the scariest halloween to date, but we are now all healthy and happy.”
