Respect.
Thanks to Jeffery for sending from Mount Vernon Square:
“This squirrel was carrying a full slice of pizza almost its size. When it saw me, it basically ran up the tree as if to say “you are not taking the best thing I have ever found!” (more…)
713 H Street, NW
Whoa, another end of an era. This original Matchbox opened back in 2003. But fear not, Matchbox will be opening a new spot a few blocks away in Penn Quarter soon. Ed. Note: Last week we also learned about a new Matchbox coming to Cathedral Heights. (more…)
3401 Idaho Ave., NW just off Wisconsin
On the heels of the Tino’s Pizzeria progress comes more pizza news for that neck of the woods. Thanks to all who messaged us the news from the Washington Business Journal that a Matchbox would be taking over the former Grilled Oyster Co. space. Grilled Oyster closed here in April after only 3 years. (more…)
3420 Connecticut Avenue, NW
Back in April we learned the new pizza spot coming to the old Chipotle space would be a Tino’s. A liquor license placard has now been posted:
“A new Retailer’s Class C Restaurant with a seating capacity of 49 and Total Occupancy Load of 60. Sidewalk Café with 14 seats.”
Tino’s website is now live too:
“Tino’s pizzeria concept was inspired by Chef, Logan Griffith’s pizza making passion and intrigue to create a traditional yet modern Neapolitan style pizza. The name Tino’s was inspired by Logan and wife Maria’s newly arrived son Constantino.”
Check out their menus here.
Good progress on the inside too: (more…)
14th and Irving Street, NW
Thanks to Michelle, Flannery and Cheryl for sending:
“Wanted to let you know that it looks like Ledo Pizza is coming to the short lived Bar Roubaix space in Columbia Heights.” (more…)
1501 U Street, NW
Thanks to Ken for sending: “No more Mediterranean Spot? Or just rebranding?”
Mediterranean Spot opened up at 15th and U St, NW back in August 2012. Previously they were known as 24/Seven located at 1408 U Street. Back in 2013 they added brick pizza ovens at the current location. In May of 2018 we learned that the local ANC had “voted to protest the request for later liquor-service hours.”
Updates as more is known about DC Stone Pizza.
Anyone remember Love Cafe?
701 Kennedy Street, NW
Thanks to Isabel for sending:
“Any idea what’s coming to the corner of 7th and Kennedy Street NW? There’s a bar, stools and pendant lights…”

This is the the former Chipotle space, before that a Starbucks and the infamous Cereal Bowl. Pizza is now confirmed. Stay tuned for an opening date. (more…)
Boom! That was fast. Thanks to George for sending: “Just opened up today per the staff”
First a Vapiano opened up at 623-625 H Street, NW. And now Pizza Bistro Med has opened up at 736 6th St NW. PQ Living notes that this spot used to be a Pho place. Fortunately a new Pho spot will be coming nearby to 608 H St, NW.
I was down there for the Chinese New Year and decided to try a slice. I’d say it’s perfectly fine for a take out option. I do like having the option for a quick slice. Couple more photos including menu and inside space after the jump. (more…)
