Union Pie

Not a bad deal for a bite to eat on the Wharf. Except they charge $1 to do a half half pie even if they run out of ingredients for a whole. The pizza takes you back bc of the crust which is old school box oven pizza crust. The really cheap kind. Crunchy and dry. But the top is rich. Mumbo chicken very good and fun DC specialty. Hot and sprint is ok. Pepperonis are thin and unique.

I don’t know what was wrong with the taste of this pizza. The cheese? The crust? I got two different kinds and both were “off.” Like almost a salty sour with no flavor whatsoever. So weird! And the crust is a horrible texture- just thin and crunchy like a cracker. And the cheese is not melty. Maybe… the worst pizza I’ve ever had!? They need to change something! A late-night pizza place is much needed in this area but not like this :(

Pretty good pizza! We got a half a pizza after we saw a show at the Anthem. It was a little to well done and the only had 5 pizza options. But not bad for a late night snack.

The pizza was delicious and was prepared very quickly. But there is no indoor area for seating so if it is cold outside, you will be eating your pizza while freezing

Perfect for drunks, Union Pie is a perfectly acceptable late-night snack. U.P. is a cute little shack at The Wharf not too far from The Anthem. There’s a limited but specific amount of pizza varieties, and most people should be able to find what they’re looking for. Patrons will also find that they can customize their pre-made pizzas, as I was able to get custom vegetarian pies made. However, the life of these pies is about five minutes, as they congeal quickly, similar to a large pizza from 7-Eleven, but at least 7-Eleven charges no more than $5. All-in-all, it’s serviceable food, just temper your expectations.

Great place for a quick bite. The pizza crust is thin, because of this all the grease easily falls out of the pizza. The pepperoni was a quarter size and curbed in due to the type and temperature cooked. Basically eating cheese and pepperoni on a cracker. The misses loved her white pizza with vinaigrette and arugula.

Decent late night pizza. Thing. Very crispy. I don’t trust the critic who said it’s in the top 5 slices of pizza in DC

Grabbed a Pepperoni Pizza after a show at the Anthem. Cheese, sauce and Pepperoni we're really good. Crust was a little tough but I really loved the Pepperonis!!!

Decided to grab a quick slice of pizza before hitting a show at The Anthem. It's basically a half a pizza for $9, decent price I suppose for the pricy SW DC Wharf. Plenty of quality cheese and it's super thin crunchy crust, a la Jersey Tavern style Pizza. I'd have it again. It's worth a try

Living on the wharf, we walked by this little hut every day telling ourselves we needed to try their "Voted Top 5 pizzas in DC" pizza. In so many ways, it just didn't stand up to the hype. My lady had classic pepperoni and I had the sweet hot. Although both were tasty, they were swimming in grease and utterly unmanageable to eat by hand, as one should with pizza. To make matters worse it was square cut, contrary to NY style. Flavor alone: 4 stars Price: 3 stars Construction: 1 star Recommendations, a crispier crust would be fantastic, or somehow allowing for some of the oils to run off or be absorbed away so the crust doesn't return to dough.

A fun little pizza takeout counter on the Wharf, one of my favorite areas in dc! The pizza is fine, if not a bit overpriced. The mumbo chicken wasn't as tender as I had hoped, but the gluten free cheese pizza rocked!

We arrived extremely at the Wharf for a dinner reservation so we decided to stop at Union Pie to order the white pizza to share as a pre-dinner snack and I'm glad we did. It was hot, fresh & delicious. It was big enough for three of us to share as a quick snack. Be alert that there a lot of pigeons hanging around there so watch where you sit and cover your food.

Pizza was very good and the guys made sure we had exactly what we wanted. Fully recommend you grab a pizza and walk down the open area by the water and enjoy a sunset.

So many places to eat at the Wharf, but Union Pie hits the spot and Francis IS THE MAN! On top of delicious pizza, the quick and friendly service tops it off. Will be back after eating over priced, mediocre food at The Wharf.

Fast food pizza but better. I got screwed and came on a Mother's Day and Sabrina carpenter concert. So it was crazy packed

Super quick service and delicious pizza after a long day exploring the city! Located right on the Wharf, it's convenient as well.

If you're a bar pie fan, you'll like Union Pie. It's definitely reminiscent of some of the pies I ate growing up. I've been twice. I didn't have the best service the first time, but I spoke up, and the service was fantastic the second time. I also didn't care for the plain cheese version, as it was a bit lacking in flavor. The veggie version is my favorite--the vegetables come perfectly charred and it's super delicious. If you like pepperoni, definitely go with that option. I appreciate that the 'ronis are uncured. It's also nice to have a reasonably priced eating option on District Wharf.

If you want a quick grab and go meal to enjoy outdoors, union pie is the right spot. They have pretty good thin crust pies for decent pricing at the wharf. We got the white pizza, and the cheese and tomato pizza. Service was pretty quick and we didn't feel like going to a sit down restaurant so I liked grabbing our pies and eating them outdoors. The white pizza was good, but it didn't have as much flavor and too much ricotta. The cheese was my favorite and had a bit more flavor to it. I recommend half per person and a whole for two; it's pretty filling. You can mix and match two halves...to make a whole :). I give it three stars because it's fast and tasty, but not really unique in anything.

The worst thing about this place is that they aren't open later! I always really enjoy their gluten free crust, it's thin and crispy without being hard like so many gf crusts are. Solid pepperoni and really enjoyed their white pizza as well with the balsamic drizzle. Also loved that you could still do the gluten free as a half pizza.

I got pizza from Union Pie with my girlfriend after one of the free concerts at the adjacent pier. We got a white pizza and a pepperoni pizza. Both were good. The pepperoni was pretty high quality. The white's light drizzle of balsamic reduction was a good touch... Not too much where it dominated the flavor, but a good subtle tongue teaser. The crusts are very thin and light. The cheese (and pepperoni) aren't greasy at all. The pies are a decent size. A half pie is enough for a normal meal. If you're like me and sometimes forget to eat all day until a late dinner, a whole pie ($12-$15) is enough that you're unlikely to want more in one seating. The service was friendly. A slight downside: Like a couple of clowns, we decided to order right as the concert was ending, when the line was long. As a result, our pizzas took about a half hour. They were cranking out pizzas quickly. I don't think you'd have much wait if you went at any time other than their busiest moments. But, if you're going at a similar peak time, consider that even though they can make a pizza in minutes, they can only make so many at a time and those minutes can pile up.

Getting a pizza to go before heading back to hotel, it was a delicious thin crust. They're located next to Shake Shack. Wait time wasn't long. Pizza served hot & fresh. Grated Parmesan & spices in jars located at the window to add on your pizza. I normally don't order thin crust but this pizza was on point. The sauce was very flavorful in the pizza. It's a must!

The Hot&Sweet pizza was delicious. Make sure to order a drink because the peppers are spicy.

Located right across from Shake Shack, Union Pie is a pretty good option for cheap eats at the Wharf. It's a pizza stand with five types of pizza. $8 for half a pie, and $14 for a whole pie. I got half a pepperoni pizza because it was the only option with meat, and it was comfortably filling for lunch (and I can imagine for late night munchies too). The thin crusted pizza was tasty and satisfying, though don't expect an earth shattering experience. Maybe because I came for lunch on a weekday when there isn't a huge crowd, but I only had to wait 10 minutes for my pizza. The girl who took my order and the guy that gave me my pizza were perfectly friendly. There are also lots of tables on the pier around Union Pie where you can sit and enjoy your pizza. I'm totally down for coming back and trying out the other pizzas.

The pizza here is okay. I felt like it was a little over priced for the amount of pizza I got and the pizza took a tad too long to get prepared. The pizza stall in right outside and there are not seating area. I feel like it should be a place to get a quick bite to eat, but the orders are made to order so it takes a long time to get your food. I got the vegetable pizza which had a lot of eggplants and other vegetables. It was good and the crust was thin enough to my taste, but I didn't like how tiny the pizza was. I wish there were more toppings and more sauce.

Cute outdoor pizza stand. We waited 45 minutes for a "large" pepperoni pizza. Once I opened the box I saw it looked more like a medium size and it was also thin crust. Not a problem with thin crust but did have a problem that the pizza tastes just ok and too salty and was very greasy.

ON 5/6/23, I ordered a half cheese and tomato pizza. All I could taste was burnt crust. It overpowered any other flavor. I think the pizza has potential though, so I would try Union Pie more time before I write it off.

The hot & sweet pie was a delicious surprise while standing in line for a show at the anthem! My friends ordered the white pizza which was arguably even better than what I ordered. For a quick bite at the wharf, Union Pie is worth it!

Actually pretty good pizza, kind of a blend of NYC style and the "bar pizza" they speak of (which I've never heard before) but FFS STOP CLOSING AT RANDOM HOURS!!

I love their hot and sweet sausage pizza. At first, I was kind of skeptical ordering pizza that came with honey drizzled on top but I am so glad I tried this pizza. The honey is a perfect combo with the hot sausage so the pairing goes really well. I really like that this pizza is thin crusted too so it's always super crispy. I have hyped this pizza to all my coworkers and whoever have tried this a are hooked as well.

Was walking home and was looking forward to grabbing a half pizza. When the attendant gave us the half pizza in a literal paper bag while others were receiving boxes, we asked for a box due to having a long walk home. We proceeded to get yelled at regarded their lack of boxes for half pies, the attendant was literally angry at us for asking for one. Pizza was cold and deformed by the time we got home. If you sell "half pies" for $9 you better have a half box and afford to hire employees who don't berate customers for reasonable requests.

Union Pie is a little stand by the Anthem, and they are one of the cheaper deals on the Wharf. The White Pizza ($14) was perfect for my friend and I to split. It's unique and delicious. It's not a very heavy pizza so it was not overly filling, but it hit the spot. Wait times are long (30 minutes plus), but if you are not looking to sit down in a restaurant, it works.

We waited in line to order some pizza after a show at the anthem. They have a great selection of pies and you can mix and match and do half or whole pies. Because there was a big show getting out we had to wait about 20 minutes, but that wasn't a big deal. The pizza was really delicious, but a little bit too chewy for my taste. I prefer my pizza on the crispier side. It was still good though, I'd recommend the hot pie! It had the perfect amount of spice.

When I first tried Union Pie, I was greeted by the most enthusiastic staff ever and I absolutely loved their energy. Unfortunately, I don't remember the two gentlemen's names to give props, but they were awesome! The pizza is yummy and the crust is made perfectly. Now, why 4 stars if I have nothing but great things to say?! Well, yesterday (4/23/19), the customer service was god awful, the woman taking orders had a nasty attitude, wasn't attentive and ignored you when you spoke to her. I was aggravated and not to mention she didn't use gloves when handling my pizzas- her nails and hands were dirty. Secondly, when I opened my pizza boxes, my pizza was thrown in, so the cheese and slices were all over. Respectfully suggesting: I would possibly hire someone new or get another employee to handle orders.

I was meeting a friend at the wharf for a concert at the Anthem. I decided to grab a bite to eat before the show. Union Pie had a short lie so I decided to give it a try. I should have taken that as a warning. I ordered a half white pizza. While pizzas were coming out quickly for those waiting, for some reason my pizza seemed to be behind the other orders and was taking longer for no reason. Once it came out of the oven, it was burnt around the edges so badly that the guy had to cut some off before placing it in a box for me. Another bad sign. Quite possibly one of the worst pizzas I have ever tasted. No flavor and if I did get a bite with taste, it was burnt. I would rather eat a frozen pizza before eating here again. Take my advice and go else where. Definitely not worth it!

Location is very cute and romantic. Slice is crispy and covered of a lot of cheese. It is tasty and you don't feel full. The smallest slice is a half of a pizza.

This review and rating is for the gluten free pizza they serve. Not only was is better than an normal gluten-free pizza but what stood out was their care to minimize cross contamination. My girlfriend has celiacs, so how a restaurant handles their food definitely makes or breaks the experience for us. Every time the pizza was moved, the employees made sure to change gloves, wipe down surfaces, and use new utensils. All of that was without our request which made it that much better. Definitely recommend this place!

This was my first time here and I loved it! They stay open late, they're fast and clean! I also love that they have peculiar pizza toppings! The pizza on the right had a white sauce, fresh mozzarella, caramelized onions and was topped with arugula and balsamic vinaigrette. How different is that! It's a great quick, go-to for Wharf visitors. They had great prices and friendly staff. I can't wait to return!

Pros- *white pizza was amazing(hands down the best white pizza I have ever had) *thin crust *seating *friendly staff. Cons- *the time it took to cook the pizza. Would I go there again? More then likely. And my children loved it.

Sure they do the typical 'pepperoni' and 'white' pizzas but why not expand your horizons with options like Hot & Sweet (a personal fav) that combines honey with peppers. I know, it sounds unusual, and it is...but it's absolutely delicious and not the 'can get this anywhere' fare. Being from New York, I appreciate the thin crust with just a touch of 'flame' to it (although Chicago Style is my second-favorite pizza).

Despite the fact that you have to wait a little while it's totally worth it I've been eating here since the day they open and the pie consistency is always amazing You can probably get faster but you're definitely not going to get better PS I am gluten and dairy intolerant and they have vegan cheese and gluten-free crust so it's a win all over come try them

Went to Union Pie on a Saturday afternoon. It was so good! Thin crust is their thing here apparently and they really do it well. We ordered a Hot & Sweet. The serrano peppers and the honey really set this thing off. I wanted double the amount of serranos and will ask next time! 14 out of 10 would def get again. We also ordered a cheese & tomato. It was also delicious. Basic but solid. Other reviews comment on the wait time. We didn't experience a long wait. I mean, we waited a little but nothing worth commenting on.

Worst pizza ever. Ordered a cheese pizza. Burnt, hardly any cheese, bitter acidic tomato sauce...I think this place sells mostly to tourists who don't know better. I will never go back there.

Got the half hot and sweet. Not bad flavors but all the toppings slid right off the flatbread - it's not a "real" crust. $8 for the half, which was good for me for dinner. Two stars because I saw the person making the pizzas handle the register and credit cards- and then put their gloved hands into the cheese. However, there aren't a whole lot of quick places on the wharf- they're all more sit-down (and expensive)

Local resident @ the channel. Love that this is downstairs and super quick. As long as you don't try to get it on the weekend because it's packed! The pizza is great I usually ask them to cook it an extra minute I like it a little more crispy.

You can smell pizza from blocks away, but it looks and smells better than it tastes. I'm a fan of mini pepperoni, but our pizza was charred so many of the mini pepps you couldn't even eat. In fairness, we ordered pizza at about 11:30pm so I'm sure the kids working just wanted to get it done and go home.

I tried half a pie of their "White" pizza at Jammin' Java in Vienna, VA, and it was some of the best pizza I've ever had. Don't let the deceptively simple name of the pizza fool you... each slice was packed with so much mouth-watering flavor (ricotta, mozzarella, caramelized onions, garlic, arugula), my taste buds couldn't get enough. I live in Baltimore, but I might look for more reasons to drive to DC just for more Union Pie pizza... which might be reason enough.

This is one of the best pizza I've had in the area. The thin crust was crispy and delicious. We got the hot & sweet pizza and it was perfect and light with a unique flavor. Was very impressed by this small pizza stand and would definitely recommend.

My rating is for the workers who, despite the covid-19 induced business quietness of self-isolation, provided me a hot, crispy pizza for lunch...along with smiles and helpful mindfulness. People who are on the frontlines, keeping restaurant businesses going and SMILING through it -- despite possibly exposing themselves and their families to covid-19, are employees who are selfless team members. THANK YOU Charles and your female fellow team members, for being such WONDERFUL reminders of the best in people! Oh yea...the pizza was yummy! It was thin crust, crispy...just like I remember from Shakey's...of many moons ago.

The pizza is tasty (we ate cheese/tomato and white pizza) but the cut makes it hard to eat while you're standing around, and as mentioned in the other reviews the wait was impossibly long (25 mins for us). The line waiting to order was typically 1-5 people long, and the crowd of people waiting for their pizza was 10+. There's a workflow problem here and they need to solve it. I'd love to come back, but I'll probably read current reviews first to see if they've made it work better.

Horrible. I'm sorry this place is a booth at The Wharf. Its started out great this summer (2018). The first 1/2 pizza was fantastic! I went back the next day and it was great. The 3rd time it was over cooked and the overload of Pepperonis were crunchy and salty. Today, 5 people in the booth no one else buying pizza I got a pizza with a wet sloppy crust. The Pizza must have been sitting there already made when we ordered. They normally cook each pizza per order. That didn't happen today. The pizza was warm not hot. They can keep that nasty pizza! I digress.

The best pizza in WHARF! Union Pie is the street food version of the bar Union Stage down the street, which makes it extremely convenient for customers that just want pizza and not everything else the bar has to offer. The sweet and spicy is absolutely incredible, if you can handle the heat. I live in wharf and almost all residents agree that union pie/stage has the best pizza in the neighborhood. It's also the best bang for your buck for pizza in wharf as well.

The most amazing pizza I've had, hands down. It's unique - yes, but that's the point. I had the hot and sweet and my wife got the white pizza. WOW! What a TREAT for both of us. Friendly/cool staff and we even got to meet the owners - who happen to also own and operate the new music venue at the wharf - Union Stage. It's family owned, which I love: 3 brothers and all super sweet/good fellows. Support local/small business and go eat some of the best pizza you'll ever have. My wife and I will be returning to the DC area for the cherry blossoms and you better believe, pizza will also be blossoming on our trip! 5 stars!

I tried their white pizza the other night and it was great. Initially I was slightly put off by the prices (around $8 for a large slice or $14 for an entire pizza), but all my bad thoughts melted away after I ate my pizza. I like a thin, lightly charred pizza and a nice gooey topping. Union Pie delivered on both criteria. I will definitely return!

Pizza was delicious! Pepperoni and jalapeño all the way, could have been crispier but altogether I was very impressed

Pretty good kiosk pizza establishment right on the Wharf. Pizza was pretty good and service was fast.

Ive had their pepperoni twice now and I'm totally smitten with them. Its a great pizza for DC. And the price is great too. Its outdoors, so maybe nit the best is a hundred degree weather.

Not for Celiacs! You can pay extra for gluten free crust if it's a personal diet choice but if you have Celiac do NOT eat this pizza. First of all, the pizza is delicious. The crust so thin, cheese and crisp pepperoni slide right off, just a melty mess of deliciousness. However, I specifically asked if it's truly gluten free and the very attentive gentleman assured me yes, it's truly gluten free. I let my 10 year old with Celiac eat two pieces. Fast forward three hours and she was - well she was very very sick. It's definitely contaminated with gluten. Which, I should I have known with such a small work space. I took the guy at his word when I should've asked more questions and watched the prep. My daughter paid the price. So, I want to say yes this pizza is amazing but please don't take it as safe for a true gluten intolerance or Celiac.
