Technically 1299 Pennsylvania Ave, NW but entrance actually on E Street
Thanks to Josh for sending:
“Downtown Cucina Al Volo under new ownership? It was closed for a week between Xmas and NYE. Now, most of the Cucina Al Volo signage is down, and rudimentary “E Street” pizza and pasta signage is up.”
Anyone stop in for a taste recently?

Whoa haven’t checked in on this development in a minute. A liquor license placard posted for Wm. Mulherin’s Sons says:
“New Retailer’s Class “C” Restaurant serving pizza and other Italian-influenced, wood-fired fare. Applicant is applying for a Summer Garden Endorsement with 40 seats. Total seating inside is 200 with a Total Occupancy Load of 275.”
Their website says:
“Wm. Mulherin’s Sons started with the discovery of a derelict, abandoned 100-year old whiskey blending and bottling facility on the S. E. Corner of Front and Master St. The building was constructed in 1890 and has been converted into a restaurant and boutique hotel serving urban, wood-fired Italian.” (more…)

On Monday we posted some scuttlebutt saying that Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana could be coming to D.C. We then learned form a source it would be in Montgomery County. Our good friends at WTOP have found out the location – “Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, of New Haven, Connecticut — plans to open a new location in Maryland at Westfield Montgomery Mall in 2020.”
*I’m only including one exclamation point because it will be in Westfield Montgomery Mall. Happy for folks that live nearby but that’s a bit out of my coverage area.

UPDATE: Now hearing they may be coming to Montgomery County. STAY TUNED.
Not a lot to go on but a reader hears that a Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana is coming to D.C. “They have already secured a location. Do you have any additional info?”
Anyone else hearing these rumors? Any idea what neighborhood?
From the Daily Meal‘s 100 best pizzas – #1:
“Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana retains its crown as America’s finest pizzeria. This is a bucket list destination, one you’ll have to make a pilgrimage to if you want to discuss the topic of America’s best pizza with any authority.”
Check out their various locations and menus here. Anyone ever taken a taste? (more…)
