15 Best Restaurants in Dupont Circle | Eater DC
"Renowned chef Russell Blue Smith, a Wolfgang Puck protege who spent years at the Source and Cut, broke out of the fine-dining world with his very own personal pizza project this spring. Named for his late grandmother, Alfreda seats 60 inside and 30 across a patio. Smith pays extra attention to the dough, relying on a sourdough starter to provide a subtle sweetness to his New York-style crust. Opt for red tomato, white cheese, plain (gluten-free), and seasonal pies, with a BOGO pizza deal and $8 spritzes during weekday happy hour (4 p.m. to 6 p.m.). Fellow Puck alum Evan Moore curates a wine and cocktail list to compliment the tight menu, which also includes stunning salads and small plates." - Tierney Plumb
