Detroit-style pizza, decadent drinks, late-night happy hour
"Normally a go-to industry hot spot that slings square slices and shots until 1 a.m. on weekdays, the vibe turned "super somber" when lit-up federal checkpoints appeared on the strip; business completely died down after 8 p.m., forcing cancellation of the weekly karaoke party. "We had nothing Wednesday night," Meaghaan Tolman said. "No one was there. It was a ghost town." - Tierney Plumb
"A Detroit-styled deep-dish pizzeria located up 14th Street NW, cited as part of a strong local contingent of deep-dish places that form the neighborhood competition for incoming entrants." - Tierney Plumb
"Red Light Bar & Detroit Pizza The Deal: $6 Red light lager, $9 classic cocktails, and $10 shots and beers. Locking yourself out of your apartment at midnight isn’t so bad if you live within walking distance to Red Light Bar & Detroit Pizza. The corner bar in Logan Circle has a sidewalk patio that attracts anyone tempted by the smell of pizza. And while the pies are just decent—Detroit style pizza is hard to get right—it's the $9 espresso martinis that end up making people stay." - omnia saed
"In 2019, local restaurateur Aaron Gordon swapped out Red Light’s “unremarkable” bar fare menu in favor of Detroit-style square pizza. Chef Naomi Gallego, who makes wood-fired pies at Little Beast in Chevy Chase, led the charge on bringing the same deep dish pies she used to devour growing up in Michigan to D.C. The corner destination for carbs and cocktails also does takeout and delivery, with a late-night happy hour featuring $10 shoot-and-beer combos. Manny & Olga’s is also a prime pick on the strip for on-the-go pizza." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
