"Built to meet pandemic-era takeout and delivery demand and sharing an address with Aventino, AP Pizza Shop adapts the All Purpose blueprint into a lunch-and-dinner pizza-focused spot that showcases slices and whole pies alongside salads, sandwiches, and Italian‑American starters like roasted garlic knots and a Jersey-style eggplant parmesan. I like the tech-forward setup — photo-packed digital tablets for ordering and a front pickup window — and the lunch service is slice-focused while whole pies are available during the shorter dinner shift; Friedman says he’s excited to give New York and New Jersey transplants a literal slice of home. The shop’s hours are 11:30 a.m.–9 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and 11:30 a.m.–10 p.m. Friday–Saturday." - Travis Mitchell
"Next door to Aventino, AP Pizza Shop will channel New York and New Jersey pizzerias with lunchtime slices, salads, and sandwiches like a Cubano Italiano stuffed with homemade porchetta, fontina, and prosciutto, while dinner will showcase All-Purpose’s pizzas and Italian-American starters like roasted garlic knots." - Tierney Plumb
"Paired with Aventino, AP Pizza Shop will operate all day as an ode to neighborhood pizzerias—offering Italian coffee and pastries in the morning, paninis and salads for lunch, and pizzas made with all-American dough, local cheese, and seasonal toppings." - Tierney Plumb
"I'm excited for AP Pizza from Mike Friedman, which is also slated to open in Bethesda and is expected in the spring." - Adele Chapin
"I learned that the team behind D.C. favorites like All-Purpose Pizzeria, Boundary Stone Public House, and The Red Hen is opening AP Pizza Shop at 4747 Bethesda Avenue; inspired by the neighborhood pizzerias of their youth, the all-day restaurant will serve Italian coffee and pastries in the morning, paninis and salads for lunch, and pizza in the evening." - Adele Chapin
