"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
"A playful, humorous pizzeria where bold, cheeky mash-ups meet culinary rigor; one popular pie riffs on the Big Mac with well-seasoned ground beef, pink “special sauce,” iceberg lettuce, and gooey American cheese on a light but sturdy crust, while a Reuben-inspired pie layers pastrami, sharp sauerkraut, and a pinch of caraway to mimic rye. The chef embraces rich, jokey combinations but also works to win over more traditionalist diners by delivering serious flavor." - 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
"Boogy & Peel, a new pizzeria in Dupont Circle, offers neo-Neapolitan pizzas with unique toppings. The pizzeria, founded by Rachael Jennings, features a playful atmosphere and a menu including a Big Mac-inspired pizza, wings, and fresh salads. The venue also has a 44-seat patio and plans to expand its offerings with alcoholic drinks once a liquor license is obtained. Boogy & Peel aims to provide a casual dining experience with a focus on takeout-friendly options." - Adele Chapin
