Wiseguy Pizza (Washington, DC)
GODFATHER: Pepperoni, Sausage, Ham, Bacon, Mozzarella ∙
Wiseguy pizza opened in DC in 2012, and I’ve been eating their pies for years. Excellent thin crust large pie NY style pizza served to a starving DC pizza market. The below photo is of the Godfather pie. They used to have a pie called the Wiseguy, which was much better IMO. It had sliced meatball, ricotta drops and a stream of sauce going down the top of each slice. Absolutely phenomenal. WHY would you remove it from the menu.
Ledo Pizza (Arlington, VA)
I’ve been eating Ledo’s as long as I can remember. These are the (almost) thin crust mini square pizza bites that blew your mind as a child, a difference you can appreciate as an adult. The edges of the crust crack like a fried tortilla shell, while a thin, doughy, substantive crust supports the rest of the pie. If the crust hasn’t captured you, lets talk about the lightly spicy, tangy sauce. Imagine a thin crust platter pie presented to your person, perpetuating sensual seductions to your perception that dazzle the senses before they tantalize the tastebuds. Doesn’t matter what you’re doin in the DC metro area (an Adelphi, MD original), you have to grab a Ledo pie.
