what makes a great pizza?

It starts with a great oven! Ours is an authentic wood- fired masonry oven where the fire has burned constantly since the day we opened. Modern gas and electric ovens cannot produce the intense heat needed – over 800 degrees – to achieve the crispy, smoky crust that our oven provides. With dough made fresh daily in-house, our goal is to make the best pizza in the DC area!

in the mood for something a little fancier?

Try some of our bistro dishes. Steak, scallops or perhaps grilled salmon? Chef Jon’s bistro dishes are simply and classically prepared. You’ll find his appetizers and entrees well seasoned and hearty, never bland!

the space.

The challenge? How do you build distinctive restaurants in unique urban spaces? Our original location at 713 H Street was a Chinese grocery in a structure 15 feet wide and three stories tall! Our second location at 521 8th Street, SE–Capitol Hill–was a 90 year old vending machine warehouse. In Rockville, we started from scratch–tearing the structure down to bare bones and rebuilding it into our largest restaurant yet. The space is complete with two outdoor patios, multiple fire features, bars and private dining rooms. Partners Drew, Mark, Ty and Perry, with backgrounds in restaurants, design and construction, were involved in all aspects of the building process!
