I went here after playing sports and to celebrate a good season, so our attitude and hunger may have improved the food, but we found this to be a good pizza place. Not among the elite of DC pizza, but not far off. The pizzas are wood fired brick oven and they come in either 8" or 12" sizes. The pizzas were very enjoyable, but not particularly filling, although we had played a double header and it was a rather late dinner sometime after 8:30. I think 6 of us (one person had only a slice or two though) ate five 12" pizzas. Among them were the Spicy Proscuitto $16.50, Meat Express $16.50, Pizza No. 17 (Tomato, Pepperoni, Squash, Green Peppers, Sweet Peppers, Mozzarella. Those were the three that I remember because they were all quite enjoyable (we also repeated one pizza). The crust was well done, the toppings blended well, and overall a good execution of this style of pizza.

We sat outside on their patio and the tables were reasonably nice, the inside looked small, but reasonably inviting.

The beer selection is not huge, but the beers that they had were interesting and good, including Paulaner Hefeweizen.

Definitely a very enjoyable place to enjoy good pizza outside on a nice summer evening if you're in the area.
