My family and I were visiting the d. C. Area and staying at embassy suites. We decided to order from here based on reviews and proximity to our hotel. What a mistake! Not only did Our rder take an hr and a half but our pizza was freezing cold and looked like separated slices thrown in a box! It looked... More

They make pizzas to tailored to your tastes and likes. The pizzas are fresh, tasty and although it takes some time to make them, the wait is worth it. Not a large choice of beers to go along with the pizzas, but that's true for almost every place in the US... Prices are reasonable.

Recently opened, this restaurant did not disappoint. Food was fresh and portion sizes were more than ample. Service was very good.

There are several Italian restaurants on this stretch of 23rd Street, but this is a good option for quality food at low prices. The New York-style pizza is excellent. The other chicken and pasta entrees are tasty, and there are some surprisingly inexpensive appetizers. There is a wide variety of gelato flavors, but it's not especially good. The staff is... More

We find ourselves here way too often. This is a great little family pizza joint with tasty appetizers, trendy thin-crust pizza, and a good beer and wine list. It's small, but we usually find a seat....at the small bar, in the main area, or on the patio/sidewalk. It's a great quiet place to catch up, watch a game (one large... More

Almost as good as New York pizza. It was very, very tasty. The waitress was terrific even though the place was very busy. I cannot wait to go back. If you are in Shirlington, and in the mood for pizza, you must eat here.

Pizza was great . . .thin crust, lots of basil, tomato, and kalamata olives. LOVED it. Casey was my server and he was very attentive and did a great job. Definitely recommend.

The stretch of businesses between Eads and Fern streets around the S. 23rd Avenue block in Crystal City are primarily "mom-and-pop/hole-in-the-wall" type places. One of those places is Café Pizzaiolo. It had great reviews so I figured it was worth a small walk from the office to sample the wares for lunch. The decor is short on charm and glamour,... More

A must visit when in the area. You have many choices of toppings and crust and the wine choices are good too.
