"The winner of an informal jumbo slice pizza crawl, Duccini’s is known for having one the best affordable, huge slices of pizza that you can eat after last-call or even sober. With locations in Adams Morgan, Shaw, and Falls Church, Virginia open until 4 or 5 a.m., you can almost always satisfy your cravings for a jumbo slice. Vibe check: Prime people-watching after last call" - Tierney Plumb
"Around since 1988, the Adams Morgan go-to counter for late-night jumbo slices that hold up while sober famously fed protesters taking refuge inside the home of a good Samaritan in 2020. Order takeout or delivery from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. (and until as late as 5 a.m. on weekends). Additional outposts sit in Shaw and Falls Church, Virginia." - Tierney Plumb
"The undisputed champ of Eater’s very scientific late-night jumbo slice crawl, Ducinni’s serves up oversized slices of pizza until 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. on weekends (even in Falls Church, they’re open till 3 a.m.). Jumbo slice is generally dubious fare, but if you’re gonna order it, it may as well be here." - Missy Frederick
"Open until 4am or later daily This U Street classic has outlasted seven presidents, and it’s pretty obvious why. Their gigantic slices are dripping with cheese, the crust is perfectly crispy, and they stay open until 4am every day. It’s the cheesy, greasy send-off your night on U Street needs. After 11pm, you can grab a large pie for just $10 before you shuffle home." - omnia saed
"Jumbo slices from $6.99 Duccini’s has the best pepperoni of the bunch. It’s thick, meaty, and crunchy, and the crust is crisp and buttery. It’s a point of honor in-house that this decades-old shop introduced these mammoth slices to the area—we’ll let them fight that good fight with Pizza Mart. The only caveat here is that the cheese and seasonings give it a bit of a frostbitten DiGiorno taste, but maybe that’s your thing. " - tristiana hinton
