"Slice & Pie, named one the top 50 pizza places in the U.S., is a late-night beacon for pies on 14th Street NW until as late as 3 a.m. on weekends. Its pizzaiolo Giulio Adriani swears by Italian flours to develop the perfect crust, plus sauce made from Italian tomatoes and handmade mozzarella. Pizza by the slice (or whole pie) showcases New York, Sicilian, and Detroit styles. Order pickup online or order sit-down service from its next-door sibling Lucy. Another location is also set to open soon at the Parks at Water Reed and inside Union Market. Vibe check: Late-night revelry off U Street NW" - Tierney Plumb
"Named 50 Top Pizza’s second best slice shop in the country in 2024, the white-sauce-based 'Federalist Pig pie' is a collaboration topped with smoked mozzarella, roasted potato, caramelized onions, pickled jalapeños, barbecue sauce, and chopped brisket from a two-time Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient; the collaboration was so popular the slice shop had to double its orders of brisket for NFL game days and sold around 60 pizzas over Super Bowl weekend. Now the hit special is here to stay, available by the slice for $6 and as a small ($24) or large ($33) pie." - Emily Venezky
"This hot-pink pizza pad off U Street, just named the second-best slice shop in the country by 50 Top Pizza, makes a mean Detroit-style pie with hot honey and pepperoni cups. Naples native and pizzaiolo Guilio Adriani swears by Italian flours to develop the perfect crust, plus sauce made from Italian tomatoes and handmade mozzarella. Other styles in store include New York and upside-down Sicilian options by the slice, square, or whole pie. A second D.C. location is en route to upper Northwest. —Tierney Plumb" - Hannah Yasharoff
"The self-described second-best slice shop in the country is offering buy one, get one half-off all pies. Standouts to snack on include a burrata pizza topped with California tomato sauce, mozzarella, burrata, basil, Parmesan, and olive oil, as well as a Hawaiian pie." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Led by Naples native and experienced pizzaiolo Giulio Adriani (the operator behind the U Street corridor original), plans were announced for a much bigger second D.C. location at the Parks at Walter Reed this summer that will add an expanded menu of panini sandwiches in addition to its New York and Detroit-style pies. The pint-sized original gained huge national attention this year, named the No. 2 best slice shop in the country on the revered 50 Top Pizza list." - Tierney Plumb
