Wiseguy Pizza

Great looking pies and even better taste! The red sauce is fabulous and the cheese to sauce ratio is just right. The buffalo was exceptional as well, just the right amount of spice. Only thing I would change would for them to be just a bit more generous with the chicken! It with the cost of everything rising whatdaya gonna do about it. 5/5 ⭐ will return again.

BY FAR the best pizza chain around the DC area 🔥 The value to taste is totally here, plus this location is open til 4am for your drunk night food missions 🫡 The garlic knots are soft, buttery deliciousness and a must have side for your crisp, fresh, & flavorful slice. From Nashville hot to chicken paneer to a simple pepperoni, the variety and quality of pizza you're getting is fantastic. Right now they're doing the restaurant week special where you can get 8 slices of your choice for $25 - an absolute banger of a deal considering a single specialty slice is over $5. If it ain't Wise Guys or Costco, I don't want it!!! 😤

I stopped by here after a Nats game with a group of 6 friends and it was perfect. The service was quick and so friendly. I had the chicken tikka pizza, the paneer chicken, and an order of garlic knots and all of it was amazing. They had so many and diverse options which was great. I was so stuffed after. There is a sushi place and a gelato place in the same building which made it convenient for different preferences and desserts. Would highly recommend!

I ordered a pizza through the website and when it was delivered the box looked like it was damaged. The majority the toppings off my pizza. I tried calling the restaurant and no one answers the phone. I used to like Wise Guys though if this is the type of food and service I receive this is the first and last time.

Was super excited for my (previous) favorite pizza place after a long travel day and unfortunately wise-guy got my second strike for reliability and completely let me down today. Ordered a pie and received an incorrect, cold, and soggy order. Order had no mushrooms written on the box in two places and once on the order form. I received a pizza not only with mushrooms, but it almost seems like they put a regular supreme they had previously made in the box due to its cool temperature and soggy bottom. Wiseguys js typically my go-to for ordering for guests in town, but this was the second time I’ve been disappointed. It was nearly $40 for this one pizza pick up order, and I’m incredibly disappointed in the decline in quality. At this price point I would go to another establishment down the road.

Wise guys is my favorite pizza spot. Every time I’m in the DC area, we have to stop by! Robert is the best!!! He gave the best service and experience to my family. It meant a lot!!!

Service is on point here! Ordered pepperoni pie, me and my son loved it. Wifey got cauliflower pie and she had no complaints. Garlic knots were good too. Visiting from out of town and def recommend this place.

Very delicious pizza just a few blocks away from the Yards

Location: great! Situated by an ice rink in Navy Yard. Shares its location with a gelato shop. Inside has few sets in the front, and additional seating in the back Service was quick and painless. The workers were friendly. We came on a Thursday night. We were looking for the vegan options, but they only had a couple old-looking slices left of one of the options. So it might be best to come earlier, or call-ahead to verify before choosing an alternate location. We tried a few different slices. Backyard 9/10, Buffalo Chicken 9/10, Mushroom Truffle 7.5/10. And the Spicy Roni was a 3/10. The crust was sooooo hard. On top of that, the Spicy Roni is a smaller slice, but still the same $5 price as the larger slices. It was sooo hard to bite into. I get it was reheated, but there's no way the dough was meant to be that crispy. Or was it? I actually cut my gums on it (wish i was joking). Overall, as a NY'er, i would definitely come back and recommend as they have lots of options.

I built my own pizza with pepperoni, sausage & basil. The pizza was good and the sausage had the perfect amount of spice and heat but the slices are too big and floppy for my desired perfect pizza.

It has been a while since I last had Wiseguy, and recently, for a get-together, we ordered a good variety: +Margherita - prepared with tomato sauce, fresh mozz, fresh basil, parmigiano, and EVOO +Backyard - prepared with tomato sauce, green peppers, red onions, mushrooms, kalamata olives, chili peppers, and mozzaarella +Supreme - prepared with tomato sauce, pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, red onions, and mozzarella +Il Capo - prepared with tomato sauce, pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, and mozzarella +a Mediterranean salad - with cucumbers, olives, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, green peppers, red onions, and lettuce +House Caesar and House Balsamic dressings +Chocolate Cookies - that are freshly baked on a daily basis I was a fan of the Backyard, as this was a spicy version of a vegetarian - I did like the fact that the crust was thinner and the toppings were generous. The sizes of the pies were really large, so each slice could technically amount to 2 slices. Salads were really fresh, and I really liked the thick and creamy House Caesar dressing. The chocolate cookies were soft and the chips were still nice and gooey! +Backyard pizza +Mediterranean salad +House Caesar +generous portions

I have visited this location a few times. I always have a good experience when I visit. The pizza quality and taste are always good for me. The service is quick too. There's plenty of outdoor seating available so it's nice to dine out on a nice weather day. After dark the outdoor lighting is really pretty. I only have a couple gripes: - Depending on when you go, parking can be tough. - Did the slices get smaller?

Good pizza but they use door dash. Door dash sucks. Drivers cannot find address, pizza arrives late and cold, not delivered to our door. I contact door dash and they basically tell me Fuck Off. So I call the restaurant, WiseGuys. The restaurant policy is once we hand it off to door dash it's not our responsibility. Screwed again. Very disappointing.

Getting my slices.... I love the pizza here, but I really love the garlic knots. They are so good and addicting. I also really like the team here. Every time we visit, we get somebody super nice. I love that it's attached to a Boba/gelato place. Anyway, I love the chicken bacon ranch slices, and the grandma slices. The cheese and pepperoni slices are also good. Actually, they're great. I have liked everything I've eaten from here. However, the grandma slices, garlic, knots, and the ranch pizza are my favorites. I got five slices, six knots and sauce for about 25 bucks. Worth it.

Overall good experience. Staff treated me well. Got me my food in a timely fashion, and were polite. Interesting layout inside being connected to a sushi bar, I decided to eat outside and enjoy the weather. My order: chicken parm, spicy roni, 3 garlic knots, and a Mediterranean salad I am a sucker for garlic knots (so maybe I may have a bias) Gknots: C Chicken parm: D+ : C- Spicy roni: C+ Salad: D+ Don't get me wrong I enjoyed my food, no issues. When rating food especially pizza it is easy to throw a rating for the sake of it being pizza. Definitely not the best I have has and far from the worst. Would I come back? Yes Would it be my first choice? No 5824 out

This was my first time At Wiseguy Pizza, and it did not disappoint. I split a whole Godfather pie amongst friends. It was so delicious. The pizza was made fresh, and served piping hot. The crust was so perfectly crispy. You can also order by the slice. They look like they have some Interesting flavors. I also love the toppings bar. You can help yourself to all the crushed peppers, oregano, and garlic powder your heart desires.

Handing out this 5 star review gingerly for the pizza enthusiasts. Wiseguy is by far the best pizza and the best value in navy yard. They sell by slices at an affordable price. Best two slices are Buffalo and Margarita. The slices are fairly big and has a seasoning station that is always stocked up. They also sell chocolate chip cookies that are a good finisher. With an open layout, you can see directly into the kitchen - there's always something pleasant about seeing pizza being made right in front of you. Pro Tip: before going out with your friends, order a box of Wiseguy's pizza and you'll have food for before and after.

Wow! Such unique pie flavors like paneer tikka pie but ultimately my friends and I decided to order a huge Godfather pie! This shop is a little tucked away but right next an ice skating rink and a step away from the Navy Yard Metro. Service was great about answering our many questions and the pizza we ordered came out piping fresh hot! Basically a great meat lovers version but awesome because wiseguy also have a ton of spices in their back corner like oregano, chili flakes. The pizza was so good, melty pull worthy cheese and was a great way to warm ourselves up during winter! It was hard to decide which slices to try, so I'll definitely be back to try the other flavors and wings... and garlic knots... or just the whole menu!

My wife rates this pizza very high thinks it's better than some of the pizza here in LA, I disagree, it was just pizza to me nothing special. It's fine for pizza, just not hitting high marks for me.

This is likely the best pizza in Washington DC. I will call it out. I am a pizza snob. I like NY and Chicago styles. I do not limit my self to one type for a preference. Hands down I cant think of a better place in DC. I recomend try the buffalo chicken special. I am hooked. Love it when we have several at a get together. I got no shame in over eating all the different kinds. Pepperoni cheese sausauge etc. I know people like three amys or that otherone up on connecticut. But those are places to meet and hangout. Wiseguys is good everywhere like from Dr Suess I will steal the line. I would eat it in a box, with a fox. With a goat while floating on a boat. Outstanding pizza.

I love this pizza spot!! Not only is the pizza amazing!! They have late hours too. The customer service is always spot on. The scenery and vibe of the city is great. They have fair prices. And everything is great there!!!

First time here not bad at all. I had the combo with 2 slices, a fountain drink and a bag of chips, I had a meat lovers slice(can't remember the exact name) and a Nashville hot chicken slice that I was not a fan of'. The service was good but the highlight was the chocolate chip cookie that I added for dessert

Awesome service. Great food. Pizzaria style ambiance. Takes care of customers despite Door Dash issues.

Pretty much the only edible slice of pizza in the whole of Washington DC (I've tried like 15 places). Horribly over priced and trying way too hard to be "artisanal" but everyone else is pretty much shilling chuck-e-cheese level pizza. Im sure theres something else edible but it's not as close or easy to get and i've heard of "Chicago" or "Detroit" styles being ok here but as far as I'm concerned thats a lasagna. But if you dont wanna spend the money id recommend something frozen over literally anything else in this g*d forsaken place.

Mannnn I love it! I've been looking for a NY style pizza to soothe my fix. I mean Ledo's is my favorite Maryland style pizza, but sometimes I want NY pizza and this was it. They put the right amount of sauce when I asked for extra (not sloppy). Great service too. Better than the much acclaimed Andy's pizza, IMHO. Definitely don't know why I have driven past this place for over a decade but no more lol.

Loved all their pizzas. Great service. I highly recommend this place. Panner pizza and veggie pizza are flavorful.

Boy oh boy, let me tell you about these garlic knots! I stopped in randomly hoping for something simple and tasty, and the garlic knots DID NOT disappoint! Great price, and amazing taste. They have just the right amount of seasoning and when you get them hot and fresh they really hit the spot. The place is clean and the staff is friendly and engaging. I'll be back

Warning: Do not pay for extra sauce, extra cheese or any customization if ordering online! This location will no longer make freshly made custom orders. You will be charged extra but you will get whatever pizza they already have sitting out. Most likely cold! It's one thing if there was no charge, but it is completely unacceptable to charge extra for a custom order and not provide what is paid for. If you want a freshly made pizza, you must go in person to watch them make the pie from start to finish. Do not expect a fresh pizza if you pick it up! Also, they will NOT respond if you contact them through their website. No way to get a refund. I used to love this location, but unfortunately it is just no longer reliable.

We love pizza and wine!!! Staying in Washington DC for my wife's birthday and decided to enjoy our room, so we ordered pizza from Wise Guy. It was delicious even with walking back to the room in the cold. Definitely would recommend. The only reason not 5 stars staff wasn't the friendliest.

Great place! Such fast service and great pizza! Garlic knots are my absolute fav. Located in great location.

Great for a quick pizza stop! Super fast service and delish flavor. The inside is small and mostly for quick bites.

We ordered delivery - they go through GrubHub; the pepperoni is what we got. It was delivered in reasonable time. The pizza was great! For me, the red sauce was a little sweeter than I was used to, but that's not necessarily a bad thing... also, a great crust, but not "quite" as crispy as I prefer, but all in all - a great pizza. 10/10 would do again!!!

Wiseguys is kind of an underrated pizza joint in D.C especially this location since it's a bigger establishment which houses multiple eateries (ranging from pizza to sushi to gelato). We always get their paneer or chicken paneer tikka slice which is an Indian spicy take on pizza and reminds you of the fusion pizzas back in the subcontinent. They have a range of pizzas to choose from and even have Roman style square pizzas and New York slices. Their best kept secret however is their delicious chocolate chip cookies. Oozing with chocolate chips, these are some yummy cookies! Must get!

Delicious pizza that you can order by the slice or as a pie! We got the godfather and liked it so much that we had to go back for another slice. The crust is so thin and crispy, and I loved the crust. Pretty generous with toppings. Make sure you grab napkins because they are greasy and drip grease as you eat! Definitely not healthy but it sure is tasty. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the price- $5 for one slice of pizza feels a bit much especially when the slices are not big and one is barely enough. Worth it if you are craving good pizza though!

Ordered delivery a few times from here. Such amazing pizza!! Taste just like nyc!!! Buffalo chicken!! it can get a bit pricey over delivery with all the service costs, but if you're in the area definitely stop by, so incredibly tasty and filling!

We tried Wiseguy Pizza before a National's MLB game. I'm from Jersey and grew up eating amazing pizza. I consider myself a pizza snob. Wiseguy's had absolutely fantastic pizza in the style NYers and Jersey folks will love. We also had garlic knots. The garlic knots were large, chewy on the outside, soft of the inside and had the perfect amount of butter and garlic. The man that helped us was friendly and welcoming. We will be back the next time we get to a game. Thank you for the clean restaurant and restrooms, great food and service.

Wiseguy Pizza is a beloved pizza shop that's now in DC. This location is in Navy Yard in Canal Park in the middle of a park that houses a splash park in the summer and an ice skating rink in the winter. Inside the building is Wiseguy on one side with outdoor seating and Altani Gelato and Coffee on the other side. That way you can have lunch or dinner followed by dessert. The pizza itself comes by the slice and two slices is around $9. It's super greasy, but they sell some interesting slices like the Tandoori pizza, Korean chicken pizza, cheese, and everything in between. One thing that is super odd are the bathrooms. The restaurant itself is nice, but the bathrooms are down a long, dark staircase through a shady hallway. The entire experience makes you think you may be murdered. Other than that, this is an easy place to grab a quick bite if you're nearby in the park with your kids.

The most unique pizza options I have seen in my life. I tried the paneer tikka pizza and the Koran chicken pizza. Two slices definitely make a filling meal. Another slice that caught my eye was the Nashville hot chicken slide -- definitely on my list to try next.

Cold food delivered late and only half of your order. Say they will bring the rest but don't. No reply to multiple calls and emails.

Before I ordered my pizza, a worker did a loud cough and spit. He reached under the table to spit. I do not know where he was aiming to spit but it was disturbing. What is more disturbing is the number of co workers (about 6) who did not say a word to him. They remained silent. It was loud and the restaurant was very quiet as I was the only one ordering at the time. He did not wash his hands. He did not change his gloves. He spit in proximity of the food, underneath the counter that holds pizza, stood upwards and proceeded to serve customers. The co workers not speaking up brings me concern about the culture of safety and hygiene In the workplace. The owner addressed the situation. As for the pizza. I frequent Wiseguys and it doesn't stand a chance against the Massachusetts Ave. Location. They had various freshly made pies but my supreme was not up to standard. The only crispy part of my slice was the crust. There was too much oil on top and underneath the slice. Because if this, my slice wouldn't stay put when I folded it in half. The toppings were sliding off and the bottom of the slice was limp and not staying in the folded position. I'm from Jersey so this pizza folding is serious business!

Got a takeout pizza, which is about $25 for a huge pizza. It fed two people with enough leftover for both of us the next day. Great quality and a great deal. Garlic knots were very good as well.

Went late night after an event downtown. Everyone is so friendly. My friend even helped them assemble pizza boxes while we waited. Pizza is pretty good.

This distinctive freestanding building is in the little Canal Park, next to the skating rink in season. This is not the first business to inhabit this location, but I never bothered with whatever was there before. As a fan of the original Wiseguy, I have mixed feelings about their expansion (there are a few of them now). More pizza is good, but some loss of quality can come with expansion. This one seems to be doing alright though. The big negative was that I visited just as they were opening and they didn't have all their pizzas ready yet. But the basic ones I got were both excellent, a plain and a mushroom slice. There may be no floppier and more delicious pizza by the slice in DC (you can order a whole pizza, too, though a quick slice is generally most of their business). It's all wheat and dairy, so if you're avoiding one of those things, this is not the alternative pizza place you need. And I leave it to the New Yorkers to compare to their hometown, but to my tastebuds it's a quality slice.

I visited D.C. this weekend and heard great things about this place, so I decided to check it out myself. Absolutely delicious food ans great service all around. I ordered a single slice of buffalo chicken pizza and a garlic knot, and both were very tasty. The pizza was a great combination of buffalo with blue cheese, no one flavor was too overpowering. The chicken was nicely seasoned and tender as well. The garlic knot was fluffy and had plenty of garlic flavor. They also had a variety of interesting pizzas you'd never think about. Some of them ethnic like the paneer chicken pizza, some of them American dishes in pizza form. I'd be privy to try one of them the next time I visit here. If you're in D.C. around the Navy Yard area, I'd highly recommend stopping by here for a slice.

Lots of different options for cool pizza flavors! Love going here late night. The garlic knots are yum too

Well, it is edible. I ordered a supreme 10" and it cost 17 bucks. For that much money I expect close to perfection, but no.... First the crust was so thin it collapsed when I picked it up. The tomato sauce was like catsup mixed w/ tomato paste and the the outer crust, usually my favorite part, was burned. Never again!

Pizza is delicious, garlic knots are even more delicious. And the Boylan root beer is the perfect drink to wash it down with.

The pizza here is delicious, if you are around Navy Yard area , stop by for a slice . I got the chicken Alfredo Pizza and truffled Mushroom both were , delicious , staff were very pleasant as well.

Try the Paneer Tikka Pizza. Your taste buds will thank you. The universe will thank you. Your ancestors will thank you. YOU will thank you *chef's kiss*

We ordered delivery through GrubHub during COVID and were pretty blown away. These pies are (as promised) GIANT. The slices are true NY size and one pizza can easily feed 3-4 normal adults. So of course we ordered two pizzas. The house favorite was the paneer tikka pie. It really tasted like Indian food, and had this enormous variety of flavors (onion! Cream! Spice!). And it's even great cold the next day! Also good (although, in my opinion, less good cold) was the mushroom truffle pie. It had a nice amount of truffle flavor, although not a ton of mushrooms. (It's much more a "pizza with mushrooms" than a "mushroom pizza", if that makes sense.) Once we can visit in person, I'd like to try this one again straight from the oven. Delivery took a while but it was a Saturday night and this was (I think) the only location doing delivery. But based on how amazing the paneer tikka pie was, I think it will be sliding into our regular takeout routine.

Came here on late Friday night and wasn't too busy. I got a Margherita pizza which was delicious. Saucy and crispy mmmmm. Doesn't take too long to heat them up. Great place to get some quick pizza! While I was waiting for my pizza to heat up, two of the employees were making conversation with me, and they were SOOOO nice!! When I asked which flavor they recommended, one of them said Buffalo, Chicken Parmesan, and Chicken Paneer. THEN HE PROCEEDED TO GRAB A CHICKEN PANEER AND HEAT IT UP FOR ME ON THE HOUSE T___T It was delicious... like an Indian meal in my mouth!!! I will definitely be back :-)

Nice people and quaint location but I don't like the pizza. Reheated pizza slices are always risky. I thought it was salty and the crust was inedible. It just tasted old. The garlic knots, on the other hand, were great! I may give it another chance with a fresh whole pizza.

NEW YORKER APPROVED PIZZA!!!! This place is the bomb. Quality is on point every time I come and fellow NYers also named this place the best pizza in DC (note: there's multiple locations in DC) My fave slices: buffalo chicken, spicy pepperoni, chicken parm PRO TIP: they have hot honey to drizzle over your pizza if you ask for it !!! Bonus: there's a gelato shop on the other side. The gelato is very ehh but it's still a nice dessert. In the winter, the pizza/gelato shop is surrounded by an ice rink. In the summer, there's fun fountains for kids (or adults) to play in. Plus farmers markets in the spring/summer/fall on the weekends!

This is a hidden gem in canal park! I love how the pizza tastes and looks like the authentic NY style that I was craving. Even better was that they have other styles of pizza. I was a little apprehensive to try it since the price seemed high for a slice of pizza. They pre make a wide selection of their pizzas, so you can walk in and order by the slice. They heat up the selected slices in their pizza oven and within minutes you've got a piping hot pizza. If it's your 1st time I definitely recommend trying a few slices before committing to an entire pie. They've also got garlic knots! I agree with previous reviews that it's a little greasy but it's no worse than any other NY style pizza I've had. My personal favorites were their Cheese pizza and even the Paneer Tikka pizza! Viva la comfort food!

Nice pizza place, easygoing, fresh. This place is good for pizzas on the go. They have a lot of different flavors, from traditional pepperoni to curry chicken. Prices are very affordable, around $3.99 per slice. Another thing I like is that they close at 3 am on Friday and Saturday! A great option when everything In Navy Yard is already closed.

So as you may or may not know...I love pizza!! In that pie, or rectangle, or triangle there is a science that satisfies the elements of my being!! I love pizza!! So in my search for the perfect piece of pizza pie I was led to 202 M St., S.E. Washington D.C. where @wiseguy pizza resides. I hear about this spot a lot amongst pizza connoisseurs, so it was my time to try them. Ok so you can buy pizza by the slice in here (at about $5 a slice), or a whole pie (18' ranging from $20-$32). They have vegetarian pies like their Marhgerita Pie (tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, Parmigiano, and EVOO-a non-mechanical crushed olive process), and their Backyard Pie (tomato sauce, green peppers, red onions, mushrooms, Kalamata olives, chili peppers, and mozzarella, both for $30.22. They also have cauliflower crust options. They also have a slew of chicken specialty pies like their Spicy Nashville Hot Chicken Pie that wasn't available when I went in (with spicy Nashville hot sauce, crispy chicken, mozzarella, house ranch, and a cabbage mix). They have salads, chicken tenders, garlic knots, craft sodas, and NY Junior's Cheesecakes & Cookies. So I copped their square Spicy Roni (pictured-Spicy tomato sauce, thick aged pepperoni & sausage, fresh mozzarella, and Parmigiano-$33.46). This pie was delicious!! With premium ingredients, this pie held up, it was truly spicy, and the crust was crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Although I like a dense cheese on my pie (a Wisconsin brick cheese, or a Parmigiano-Reggiano mixed with my mozzarella) their cheese was true Italian mozzarella. Next I snatched a Cheerwine soft drink. It also was delicious, and reminded me of Rock Creeks Cherry Smash. I also got their chocolate cheesecake cake (pictured- a NY Junior's cheesecake stuffed inside a delectable chocolate cake $11)...STAMP!! Get it!! Trust!! Customer service started by being disengaging. It took a while for someone to come take my order. But it ended well, they answered all my questions, and accommodated me. The establishment was clean, and inviting. Parking was rough, and metered. This spot has good pies, cakes, and drinks. That's it: #Pizza #Juniorscheesecakes #deliciousfood #cherrywine #bigschlimsreviews #pepperoni #sausage #foodie #wiseguyspizza #pizzaiife #spicy #marinara #tryit #thatsit

Wiseguy is hands down my favorite slice in DC and I'm so happy to see them expanding to Navy Yard. This location is prime, and caters to the inevitable flow of fans by offering quick service, ample inside and outdoor seating, meal specials, and lots and lots of options. Grandma slices (thick squares), Mushroom Truffle, Paneer Tikka, Korean Chicken, lots of super loaded meaty options too. And for just over $3 for a slice of cheese and $4 for specialty slices, it is seriously good cheap eats. (AND DON'T FORGET THE GARLIC KNOTS! Swoooooooon) Crust-wise, it is perfection. Nice and crisp without carrying a burnt flavor that seems to be very popular at a lot of newer "hip" pizza places. If you get a slice with lots of toppings, your crust will not fail you. I miss my NYC days and honestly this is the closest you'll come in DC to getting a New York style slice. The staff is incredibly friendly, which is always a plus in my books. I come down to Navy Yard with my kids a lot during the summer, and I know that we will probably be hitting up Wiseguys at least once a week. They live up to their "damn good pizza" slogan for sure!
