“Dear PoPville,
I was recently talking with some friends in San Francisco about all these start ups that deliver food quickly and realized DC has a real shortage of food delivery options compared to other major cities. There are a few restaurants that deliver, and a few services that provide for multiple restaurants but the selections are limited and always changing.
Could you ask the community, what do they recommend for the best restaurant delivery? Are there particular restaurants or apps that they’ve found reliable for delivery inside DC?”
From an email:
“Starting this Tuesday (8/25), Uber users in downtown DC can order lunch in 10 minutes or less from a curated menu through the Uber app. Skip the line at Bub & Pops or indulge in DGS right from your desk. Using the app, order local favorites Monday – Friday from 11am to 2pm at the tap of a button. To celebrate our launch, we’re offering free delivery for the first week!
HOW IT WORKS
It’s as easy as requesting a ride:
Open the Uber app and tap the EATS icon at the top menu bar (only visible when you’re in the coverage area)
Enter your address or move the pin to your location and tap VIEW MENU
Select the number of meals, tap PLACE ORDER, and your driver will be curbside in minutes

“Because nothing sounds like a better lunch delivery option than boiled octopus…”
Hahaha The Greek Spot rules – this is very good news.

From an email:
“we are now offering delivery service to our neighbors in the columbia heights area from 4pm – 10pm daily! We encourage folks to use ChowNow or download the RedRocks app to place orders online, but, of course, calling works just fine, too. [(202) 506-1402]”
Very good news for Brightwood and north country. Thanks to a reader for sending the news about Salt and Pepper Grill III. Despite pleas to the neighborhood, Chocolate Crust closed (just south of Walmart) at the end of October. Salt and Pepper Grill II opened up a year ago at 14th and Shepherd St, NW. The original Salt and Pepper Grill is located at 2632 Georgia Ave, NW in Pleasant Plains. You can see their menu here.
Ed. Note: I just had Salt and Pepper Grill II delivered on Friday and it was freaking delicious.
