There's a number of reasons I like &pizza as opposed to the other quick service pizza spots
Namely: Size, flavor, freshness of toppings, and price point.
And when you're in a rush, maybe per chance... headed to a movie at the Regal cinemas right behind Potomac Yard Shopping Center... this might be the perfect place to stop.
You can literally have a pizza made within a couple of minutes. And trust me, it will not take too long to eat either. Not because it's small no, because it's D-lish.
Everytime I'm in &pizza I fight with myself about what toppings I should put on. It's like a salad bar. Sometimes you go ham on a salad bar and you come out with this salad looking like it has no place in a bowl. A salad that is the oddest combination of ingredients known to man A salad that looks like you described the word "salad" to an alien lifeform, and the alien used your verbal instruction to try and recreate a salad from a bunch of ingredients put out in front of it.
That's easy to do with pizza here. You just keep adding on toppings until you can't pick up a piece of the pizza. You just keep adding toppings till the top of the pizza is 3 times as thick as the crust and cheese. It's a dangerous game.
All in all the Italians had it right, and still have it right. Pizza should be fairly simple. You never see an Italian pizza with 100 toppings, and that's because they're not making a bruschetta; they're making a pizza. And pizza's should be simple. You should be highlighting the sauce, the cheese, and the crust. Toppings should accentuate those things, but not overtake.
Yes... I am speaking really passionately about pizzas.
It's like Bacon. Bacon is beautiful on it's own. It doesn't need 100 different fineries to be good. The most beautiful thing in the world is just a piece of fried thick cut bacon.
"What will we find when we strip away your finery"
You shouldn't have to.
Anyways... so I messed up. I got too many toppings hahahhaa. Moral of the story, they have great menu suggestions. I was actually trying to recreate their old school Gnarlic Pizza. That was always my favorite. But I couldn't remember if I was making it right and then I panicked and added cherry tomatoes and vegan sausage.
I will say, this &pizza got a real high rating from me because I asked the worker at the end to put A LOT of fresh basil on the pizza for me, and she listened with a real sharp ear to that A LOT. She heard me well!
