"Ananas Pizzeria is the pizza brainchild of the team behind Capitol Hill's excellent Lao restaurant Taurus Ox. The most successful pies here dive off the deep end a bit, like the namesake Ananas with pineapple, togarashi, and thick ham. Or the tangy Lao option with bamboo shoots, provolone, lardon, and enough fresh dill to kickstart a pickling side hustle. Just don’t toss out the crusts, which are brushed with garlic butter and taste great dunked in single-serve cups of Ken’s ranch. There’s no better place to grab a slice between the hours of 5pm and 1am in the neighborhood." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
