In Dupont Circle, Boogy & Peel serves up playful, neo-Neapolitan pizzas with inventive toppings and a casual vibe, alongside wings and ice cream treats.
"This laid-back pizza spot named after the owner’s dog is churning out creative pies covered in everything from classic vodka sauce paired with fennel powder to burger and Ruben-inspired ingredients, making iceberg lettuce and pastrami feel like they belong on top of pizza dough. Playful drinks like a pickleback, watermelon shrub, and ambrosia spritz pair well with the rich pizzas. Don’t forget to grab cookies, blondies, soft serve, or ice cream floats for a nostalgic dessert." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
"In Washington, DC, chef Rachael Jennings crafts pizzas with a humorous twist, inspired by fast-food favorites like the Big Mac, while also showcasing culinary rigor with rich flavors and innovative combinations." - ByElazar Sontag
"Rose’s Luxury alum Rachael Jennings broke out of the fine-dining world with a “bastardized Neapolitan” pizza place for Dupont. One pie takes tips from McD’s Big Mac, while another cold cut and fontina-topped pizza mimics the taste of the popular G-Man Italian sub at Capitol Hill’s Mangialardo. The eatery’s playful spirit is evident in everything from her pizzeria’s name (Boogy is a tribute to her beloved dog), a 30-seat dining room with bright blue tones and neon signage and squiggles, and the names of the pizzas (one of the pies is her friend’s Instagram handle). Happy hour is everyday from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and all day on Thursdays." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
"Their next pop-up, dubbed Boogy & Beans, is a two-day partnership with Dupont pizza joint Boogy & Peel scheduled for Wednesday, February 8 and Thursday, February 9. Named after the collaborators’ pooches, the pop-up workshops a menu where Korean flavors meet playful pizzeria fare." - Emily Wishingrad
