Vote Red Rocks for Washingtonian Pizza Poll

By Prince Of Petworth

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.”

Coming Soon – Piccante Pizza

By Prince Of Petworth

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:

Judging Restaurants – Italy Pizza and Baffetto

By Prince Of Petworth

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?

Judging Pizza – Duccini’s

By Prince Of Petworth

Duccini’s is located at 1778 U St, NW. I’m always on the hunt for good pizza and we’ve certainly discussed the topic at length. But I think it’s worth exploring good slices of pizza. I enjoy Moronis and Red Rocks etc. But sometimes I’m just looking for a slice. I think hands down Vace’s (Cleveland Park) has the best per slice pizza. Pete’s (Columbia Heights) is also good. But I’m wondering if there are other good per slice places. So how’s Duccini’s? Any other recommendations for per slice spots?

Some Pizza Scuttlebutt

By Prince Of Petworth

After yesterday’s post about Radius at the Ohio on H Street, NE a reader cleared a few things up and passed on some info about Radius on Mt. Pleasant Street, NW. As some commenters previously mentioned it seems the Radius at the Ohio is on hold and it is not clear if that project will go forward.

As for the Radius in Mt. Pleasant, I’m told it has been sold! But apparently it will remain Radius pizza. I’m told it is closing for a few days on Sunday for some renovations. I’m not sure how long “a few days” is but I’ll be sure to post when it officially reopens.

Dear PoP – Angelicos Pizza Opens Up in Mt. Pleasant

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoP,

Angelicos’s pizzeria is now open in Mt Pleasant. It’s at 3205 Mt Pleasant St, just north of Lamont. Here are a few photos…While there are a few tables, it seems more a takeout/delivery place & located conveniently (at least for me!) just a few steps away from the end of the 42 bus line. I met the manager Selim & he said they just opened yesterday – their web site still says this location is “coming soon.”

And the pizza, well someone with a more discerning pizza palate might want to weight in. I got a slice (more like 1/4 of a pizza) & it was foldable, cheesy, and tasted like pizza. Filled me up for $3.85!”

This Post Brought To You By the “Best Blogger in DC”

I’ve noticed this sign at Pete’s in Columbia Heights a number of times. So I asked someone at the shop who were they quoting as “Best Pizza in DC”, City Paper? Washingtonian? Nope they are self declared. There was a weak explanation that many of their patrons tell them it is so. Brilliant! Don’t get me wrong I like their pizza and all but I think it’s a bit disingenuous to declare oneself the “Best”. I guess I’m troubled that they used quotation marks. Although, next week City Paper will release their best of issue so maybe they’ll win for the pizza category…
