Pepperoni ∙
Great for delivery – not terribly warm, but typical Neapolitan crust, where you can taste the wood fire. Cheese was good with what looks like light drops of mozz. Sauce is solid. Wonderful cup pepperonis, nice and spicy. I topped with my own fresh basil. I need to visit to try this pizza fresh….this shop is the baby of the nationally ranked DC location.

Napolitano: Homemade Marinara, Fresh Mozzarella & Basil ∙
Incredibly flavorful pizza. Crust is light, tasty and well structured. Maybe could’ve cooked for another minute, but still great. Crust is the easily digestible type that you expect from NY za. IMO, the sauce and cheese doesn’t cover enough of the crust. Mozz drops are okay, only slightly rubbery on top of the other cheese. Sauce is tasty and tangy; the stripped basil is a nice compliment. Would definitely recommend the spot. The crust and sauce are hits; In crust we trust!!
Italian Store (Arlington, VA)
Hometown favorite, IMO best slice in Arlington. This is also the spot for all your authentic Italian needs (make sure to get a cold cut – the Milano!). The crust is very well structured, there is no flop in this game. The cheese is fresh…dare I say…authentic? The sauce is light but tasty – there’s some spices in there. How do I convince you to visit? A quick google should settle that one. Take my advice.
I’ve eaten my fair share of I-Store pies. My favorite custom, courtesy of my energy trader at work: Sausage, white onion, ricotta cheese. Slam bang!

Cheese Slices ∙
Quintessential NY slice. Crust was burnt, just slightly rubbery…not the best. Sauce was very tasty…the highlight of the slice. Picked up at 12:15am on a Wednesday morning. If nothing else than the history, definitely deserves a revisit. Otherwise dependable slice with nothing to write home about. Have to give them credit for a midnight weekday cheese slice at $3 cash.
