    The Standard
    Gloria M.

    Not the best pizza I've had. The cheese is good but I didn't like the crust, which after checking their website it looks like all crusts are made with whole wheat. The chopped salad was good and had a nice mix of ingredients. Both were packaged well for delivery.

    Fried Brussels Sprouts

    This spot can get suuuuuper busy. It was packed when I stopped in, but we were lucky and waited about 5 minutes for a spot at the bar to open up. Ended up splitting a pizza and the Brussels sprouts....and they were the best brussels sprouts I've ever had. The pizza is good but the sprouts imprinted on me. I don't even really like raisins but they were in there and little juicy golden morsels. They're rehydrated so not like a shriveled little thing and have this great lemony thing going on. Loved it, will be back just for the sprouts!! It's bustling, a little loud but a nice spot.

    Best caesar salad in town with good seasonal frozen drinks too. The service is pretty inconsistent and they could use more umbrellas on their outdoor patio.

    Came here for our after festival team dinner for the 4th year. The staff here is the best! Everyone is always so courteous and attentive to our party. S/o Garreth for running such a successful business. The pizza here is the best in the city for me. The funghi is my top favorite. And the fried mozzarella even with my lactose intolerance is so cheesy and the marinara is perfect.

    One of my go-to spots! I love both locations of All Purpose. I visit the one on the water when the weather is nice and I can sit outside, and the Shaw location when I want to sit indoors. The pizzas are all fresh, thin-crust, with delicious toppings. I also love the burrata and the fried mozzarella. Service and drinks are great as well!

    After trying the location in Shaw and loving it during our last visit, we decided to give this location a try. We set reservations the day prior so we were able to be seated very quickly. There is indoor and outdoor seating available with beautiful views of the water front. We ordered a salad with two pies. And everything was just as good as the original location. With flavorful and fresh ingredients the pizzas were delicious. I highly recommend stopping by for great food with a view.

    Friendly staff and quick service. Loved sitting outside by the water! The pizza crust was a bit disappointing from pictures we saw beforehand and was too flat for our taste. Still tasty though! The bathrooms also weren't very clean. Decent overall, but some room for improvement. There is an automatic 20% tip added to all checks. We greatly appreciated that they were upfront about this and even highlighted it on the receipt.

    First time at this neighborhood gem and I'm mad that I waited so long. Big spacious bar and dining room area with plenty of seating outside. Excellent array of beer and I like that they serve you little teaser glasses so that you can try different beers at a fraction of the cost. The club sandwich was pretty tasty as well, and the extra serving of fries was a good touch. All in all I had great time. Staff were nice and helpful. I can't wait to go back.

    Went on a Friday night without a reservation. Thankfully they got us in with no wait. It can be a very busy place. Right on the water. Plenty loud and lots of activity when busy. Service was excellent. Nice variety of pizza and appetizers. We had the Buona, a good mix of pepperoni with hot honey drizzle for a good bite of spice. It's a good pie. The fried mozz is rich and filled with chewy cheese. Nice selection of craft beers. The Pizza Night is a tasty amber. The only negative is the automatic 20% service charge. I'd prefer to know about it in advance rather than get the surprise on the bill.

    Great waterfront location with a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff with quick service. Excellent pizza and great happy hour options.

    The first two slices tasted no good and so I decided to take a picture of the rest to capture the burnt crust and just underwhelming pizza.

    We have gotten takeout from here quite a few times in the last year, and the pizza used to be awesome, but the past three times it's been flat out bad and so I'm finally writing a review because it seems to no longer be a one off. We always get the Tripper and something else which we change up, and it just doesn't hit like it used to. The crust was burnt on half the Tripper, so we didn't eat it, and the crust used to be one of the best parts. The flavor was bland and just not great. Tasted like a frozen pizza. Definitely not worth the price. Bummed because we used to be happy to pay the price because it was so good.

    Great pizzas with delicious cocktails. Location is convenient, very spacious space and service was decent.

    Happy hour pizza with arugula, Chili Honey
    Anna M.

    Came back and got a spread of a little of everything. I recommend coming on a Sunday because they have half priced pizzas (even a better deal than their happy hour)!! The appetizers pleasantly surprised me, the arancini were rich and so yummy and the Brussels are a must order!! As far as the pizza it is super crispy and I love topping mine with arugula and hot honey. I've been here a few times and will continue to keep going back. The food is great, the staff is attentive and helpful, and the environment is warm and welcoming. Come here if you haven't already, promise it'll be added to your dinner rotation!

I grab and use in their entirety both the orange-y hot sauce and the green sauce every time while adding hatch chiles to the simplistico burrito. I've shown several other people this place and they loved it as well. When it turns to side door they make some bomb Detroit style pizza. I truly haven't had a bad example of the style yet. I don't know if I'm selecting well or if it's maybe just low key the ultimate style of pizza but this is yet another fantastic example. It's just a small, quick takeout place for the most part, though there is some seating outside when the weather is appropriate. As such, service is generally to the point which is fine by me.

Street Parking Only & It's Definitely Hit Or Miss. I Got Lucky & Found A Spot, But It Is Metered So Be Prepared To Pay. This Spot Is Literally A "Side Door" Located On The Side Of Scarlet Oak. Super Unique Setup With Cool Lights That Make It Easy To Spot. It's Different From Your Typical Pizza Place, Which I Actually Liked. Since It Was Monday, They Had Half-Off Pizzas If You Dine In & I Had To Take Advantage Of That. CHEESE PIZZA I Ordered A Cheese Pizza & Lemon Water. This Is Detroit-Style Pizza, So Don't Expect New York Style. It's Thick, With A Generous Amount Of Mozzarella Cheese & Tomato Sauce. Honestly, It Almost Felt Like A Cheesy Bread Situation But In A Good Way. The Crust Was Buttery With A Slight Crisp On The Outside & Soft Inside, Which Was The Perfect Balance. The Ingredients Tasted Fresh, & It Was Very Filling. The Size I Got Came With 4 Slices, & Honestly, 2 Slices Was More Than Enough. I'd Definitely Come Back & Bring My Son This Feels Like A Spot He'd Love, Especially If He's Into Breadsticks & Cheesy Pizza. The Staff Was Decent, Though I Didn't Interact Much. The Overall Setup Is Interesting, A Full Restaurant Vibe Inside With This Separate Pizza Concept On The Side. Different, But It Works. I'm Glad I Finally Tried It, Unique Setup, Solid Detroit-Style Pizza, & A Great Deal If You Catch It On The Right Day. Just Have To Be In The Mood For Detroit-Style Pizza.

That month I had started Uber driving, was in this area of DC, had heard good things about Wiseguy, and decided to eat here. Although I don't like paying to park just to simply eat a meal, I sometimes will make an exception for convenience and/or if it's a place I really want to go. But for the most part, I'll go to restaurant where they have free parking or at least I can find free parking near the restaurant. I remembered getting a parking spot very close and feel like I feed the meter like 50 cents in 2014 parking prices for a quick 30 minute meal. They have all kinds of varieties of slices from the standard toppings or just cheese to fancy ones. Although the pizza is fairly thin, but average for New York style pizza. I tried Andy's Pizza 11 years later in 2025, and while it was solid although not as good as Wiseguy, my real complaint with Andy's was that the pizza is very thin, where I was hungry very soon later; so a much worse value as pricing is comparable to Wiseguy. Wiseguy slices are big, and the pizza is top notch New York style. I went to this location a couple of more times after my initial August 2014 visit as I loved the pizza. Then, they opened up other locations. I went to Navy Yard one at least twice, once after a Nationals baseball game after a disappointing loss for my 4th favorite baseball team, Texas Rangers. Sorry Nats fans, but Nats are in my bottom 10 teams. I also went to Rosslyn & Pentagon City location, where parking isn't quite as bad. They even had a Wheaton Mall food court location, which I got to experience once, but they sadly closed. Every experience with Wiseguy has been positive.

Premium toppings. Fresh, plentiful, great quality. We ordered both well done and received a nice crispy edge on the crust but with all the toppings it's damn near impossible to get a strong enough base to avoid bend. It's worth the compromise- trust me! Both were delicious but I'll skip the detroit crust next time, and there will be a next time. For me the detroit crust was a bit spongy and had a slight yeast taste. Not enough to ruin the experience but enough for me to choose a different crust next time. We also got the ranch for dipping - new experience. That too wasn't for me. The ranch is homemade and great texture and flavor just not what I expected. It had a heavy dill flavor...yep...dill. Again, tasty but, for me, this is more for veggies than pizza. All in all, looking forward to trying other pizzas. Check them out.

    Continuing the last 3 of the runner-up alphabet series (& then onto 2025 alphabet series with…read morerunner-ups included at the same time) and the only representing 2023, W is for Wiseguy Pizza. I first had Wiseguy on 3rd & Massachusetts Ave NW way back in 2014, and I knew I loved their pizza. I had also been to a couple of other locations in Arlington & their only one in MD, which closed, at Wheaton Mall. I visited this Navy Yard Wiseguy about 3 times. The first was on Monday, January 6, 2020. I had work travel to DC. My girlfriend of that time was working in DC. It was a brief period of time. She started in December 2019, then on that Friday, 1/10, the contract was furloughed due to the contract company President dying, so she was off for 2 weeks. Then, it was back to normal commuting back to DC, which was brief, as Covid was around the corner, and became 100% remote. She was happy I surprised her coordinating lunch at Wiseguy at Navy Yard not far from her work. This location was pretty new at the time. She & I loved our pizza. It's a thin NY style, perhaps the best in the DMV! The other noteworthy time I visited was on Saturday, July 8, 2023. Early that afternoon, I was way up at Columbia Mall, where I happened to be writing this Yelp review now, as I ate lunch & had a movie on my AMC A-List. Afterward, I was texting/calling with a friend. He was itching to go to a baseball game. O's were away, but Nationals were in town playing against one of my favorite teams, the Texas Rangers, and I had their pitcher in our Fantasy baseball league. We coordinated that afternoon having about 1.5 hours to buy tickets on phone, for me to drive from Columbia to Greenbelt Metro with some modest traffic on parts of 95, & metro all the way on Green line for the 4:05 game. My friend was running a bit later, so we didn't enter right at 4:05, but my heart sank when I heard Nats fans loudly cheering for a homer. My Rangers pitcher got clobbered by the Nats. I was pissed at him quickly dropping him the next morning as soon as I could. Although rain chances were low like 15%, there was a heavy thunderstorm that blew from DCA to Nats Park; almost the entire region was clear, but just bad luck. The rain lasted like 15 minutes, but I was pissed at the Nats because they delayed the game by 1.5 hours! They should've gotten the game going within 45 minutes. I think it was a ploy by the Nats to get people to buy more drinks & food. I refused to give the Nats a dime besides the ticket to go to the game. But after the rain, I was hungry from like the 5th inning to the end. We should've been out of there about 6:30 (which would've been on par with my hunger level) but instead like 8 PM. I told my friend about Wiseguy seeing it was quick & relatively cheap. He loved their pizza too as did I once again. If I'm ever in Navy Yard, Wiseguy is definitely a viable option for me.
