NEPA goes to DC!
I know that I’m the NEPA Pizza Review, but I couldn’t resist going on a pizza binge on a recent family trip to Washington DC! After walking miles and miles, I found DC didn’t have the quantity of pizzerias that New York City had, but with some heavy walking and metro use, I was able to hit quite a few spots. Yes I felt totally gross after eating all that pizza (including 5 different pizzas in less than 3 hours!), but I felt an obligation to keep going so that I could report back to the 570 to let you know how our pizza stacks up against our nation’s capital.
Ella’s Wood Fired Pizza was among the very best pizza I had while in DC. The place was large, inviting, and relaxing. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. Everyone in our group enjoyed the pizza, including me, who is a huge fan of wood-fired pizza. The crust had a symphony of flavor, not only from the smoky wood flavor, but the crust itself had a wonderful hint of olive oil infused in it. The tomatoes were fresh and the fresh mozzerella cheese balanced out the whole equation wonderfully. I highly recommend this pizzeria sits atop your hit-list while in Washington DC for all of these reasons.
