The scuttlebutt from Dec. has been confirmed. A press release says that Pete’s second location will be located at 4940 Wisconsin Ave, NW at the corner of Fessenden (halfway between Tenleytown and Friendship Heights). The store will be 3,400 square feet and can seat up to 100 people. The space is expected to open in April and like the Columbia Heights location will serve wine and beer. In the warm weather there will be outdoor seating as well. Looks like a great spot.
This restaurant will be located at 2313 Wisconsin Ave, NW not too far from the bookstore up there. I’m guessing this is part of the same group that opened up an Angelico’s in Mt. Pleasant back in April.
Well, we’ve been monitoring this spot at 1522 14th Street, NW for a few months now. I’m happy to report that HomeMade Pizza Co will be giving out free pizza tomorrow. They also gave some out today but sadly I was too slow in getting the word out. I was able to check it out myself and have to say it’s a pretty unusual operation. I’ve never heard of getting pre-made pizza and then baking it at home. You can see their menu here.
They were giving out free medium pizzas and caesar salads today (and tomorrow 4 – 7 pm). Get ready to judge me – I ordered mine with pepperoni, onions and anchovies. Mmm. It was actually pretty good but if I’m gonna be honest, I prefer pizzas like Vace, Red Rocks, Pete’s and Moroni & Bros. over this one. It was pretty easy to make though – just put your oven to 425 and cook for 10-15 minutes:
If anyone else took advantage of the free pizza Tues. or does so on Wed. be sure to let me know what you think. They had slices of fresh cooked pizza, as well, to taste out front. After the jump you can see some photos of the inside (it is a small space as it is takeout only obviously). (more…)
New York Pizza is located in the old chicken spot (either Popeyes or KFC, can’t remember which) on North Capitol Street, NE not far from Florida Ave. A buddy of mine lives nearby and says it’s decent. For folks that live in Eckington/Bloomingdale have you tried it out yet? Is it better than fast food chicken?
For folks that live in this area, please also let me know if there are any other restaurants nearby that I should check out. And in other North Capitol news, I was recently emailed the North Capitol Street Cloverleaf Feasibility Study.
Since Pizzeria Paradiso moved this summer from 2029 P Street, NW to 2003 P Street I’m wondering if anyone has checked out the new space? You can see their menu here. Worse, better or the same as the old location?
Piccante Pizza is now open at 2120 18th Street, NW in Adams Morgan. I walked by in the late morning as the place was opening up so I didn’t get to try the pizza but the space, while small, looks pretty cool. Anyone happen to try the pizza yet?
Couple more photos after the jump. (more…)
From a reader:
“Red Rocks is against Flippin Pizza neck and neck for Washingtonian’s best pizza in washington competition. Never eaten at flippin so they could be perfectly good pizza, but it is important to note that they don’t actually have a store within the DC city limits, and they are a California-based chain operation who mobilized members of their club by offering them a free pizza if Flippin wins. So they are most likely getting votes from people outside the DC area. The voting ends tomorrow at noon, and they are ahead right now by a slim margin.
This isn’t to say that their efforts aren’t “fair” since all’s fair in pizza wars… but two can play at that game! So I was hoping you could plug Red Rocks and mobilize your readers to participate in the vote and maybe RR can pull it out.”

Cafe Romeo’s is located at 2132 Wisconsin Ave NW. This looks like it could be a hidden gem. You can see their menu here. Any fans? How’s the pizza?
Piccante Pizza is coming to 2120 18th Street in Adams Morgan. 18th Street is a pretty competitive pizza spot with over a half dozen spots already. It’ll be interesting to see if this spot can differentiate itself from the others. But look how happy it’ll make you:
One of my favorite topics for sure. So this past weekend I was discussing pizza with some friends and two spots were mentioned that I was unfamiliar with. First is Italy Pizza at 634 Florida Ave, NW.
Second is Baffetto at 2005 18th Street, NW:
What’s the scoop on these places. Great pizza or only good when you’ve had a few beers?
