This little magical place caught my attention while driving back to the apartment in my Uber. The little outside patio reminded me of the little restaurants in Paris, or Rome. The little second floor windows were cute enough to enchant me, and choose this restaurant for dinner. We ordered the Eckington pizza. The pizza was deliciously cheesy and meaty! The lime margarita was bomb ass hell! And the DC Brau The Corruption beer was dope as hell! We were thinking of placing a delivery order, but we were so happy we decided to dine in. The restaurant was warm, cozy and very welcoming! read more

Wow....! This pizza is great and it reminds me of my years in New York City. I will come back with my son, next time. Bravo, MK read more

Solid pizza - enjoyed the cornmeal crust. Got the Bloomingdale and the Common Good, and liked the Bloomingdale a little better. Probably won't add this to the regular rotation, but would give it another try read more

Mediocre pizza man. Not much flavor to speak of in the under cooked dough. Very overpriced for not very good food. Tis the standard DC.

Underrated Pizza in DC! Crust is perfect balance of chewy + crunchy. Toppings are fresh and delicious. Also the best gluten free pizza crust my husband has found in the area. Try the Bloomingdale and the Randolph Place! read more

Staff was welcoming at all, not clear instructions on how to order or what time patio closed. This was my second attempt trying to patron the pizzeria. read more

One of the best pizza places I've been to so far. They offer gluten-free crusts, organic margaritas (on happy hour), and fresh ingredients. Overall, close to perfect Italian style pizza. Cute pizza shop, great outside seating to bring your dog, and in a great neighborhood for people watching. read more

I recently returned to Bacio with a close friend who is gluten free. I always love Bacio, but I had never tried their gluten free crust. I stole a slice of hers and LOVED IT!! Am I going to switch to gluten free pizza? No. However, it was great to find a place that my friend and I can enjoy together. My friend got a gluten free Common Good. Their gluten free only comes in the personal size but she left full and happy! read more

Bacio Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Because the restaurant we were heading to was closed due to maintenance, mi novia y yo came here. It was close by and looked good, and it was good. I have spent very little time in the Bloomingdale neighborhood. I like the look and feel of Row House restaurants. A much better 21st century move than those god awful Popup Houses. Back to Bacio's. I won't call the interior small, I will say that it is intimate. So much so that I didn't want to take a picture showing the cute set-up, couples, friends and family were enjoying their meals. I also would have liked to check out some of the historical pictures and posters around the restaurant but that would have entailed me being in folks' way. I will just have to come back and sit at a different spot each time. Looking over the menu, only good feelings about this meal were brought forth. I liked that it wasn't filled so many options that quality could be compromised. You know, jack o' all trades.... I had to get the Crispus Attucks, on the account of the name alone. A pizzeria for students of History. The pizza was pretty good. The small was enough for one setting without feeling weighed down after eating it. Next time I will surely try another pizza. I like how they did this one and bet the other options are even better. Bacio Pizzeria is a cute restaurant in a cute area. Service was excellent and the atmosphere great to enjoy a nice meal. I look forward to returning. read more

Super super delicious pizza! Ontop of being so yummy, it's presented beautifully, plus associates are pleasant and kind--major for me!! At this point, I've tried almost all the specialties, on thin crust, each option is delightful with authentic, fresh flavors! You legit get the classic pizza experience here, as it's nestled within a sweet lil neighborhood on a cozy lil street... can't go wrong with classic touches! Thank you Bacio, for your pizza making artisanship! read more

Just went to this place for the first time last night! It was so good. It's a very small dining room--intimate. It would be great for a first date or a small family dinner. They have one bigger table that can fit 6. The pizza was very good and I highly recommend the strawberry margarita. I got the Eckington personal size. It was definitely enough that I had to take home leftovers. I will be coming back here again for sure! Oh, and while I didn't get a beer, they have a pretty good beer list--lots of local cans! read more

See all

My husband and I were visiting D.C. and stopped by this lovely place! We arrived around 6pm and were able to sit outside. Their outdoor seating was so peaceful and quaint. We had great service, and our glasses were never empty. We ordered a pepperoni pizza with basil, and it was delicious! This was our favorite dining experience while we were in the city. We also enjoyed walking around the pretty neighborhood afterward. read more

Bacio Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

DO NOT COME HERE. SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR SOME PLACE THAT APPRECIATES THEIR CUSTOMERS. There's so many good pizza joints in DC that are better or just as good. Timber Pizza Co, Little CoCo's, 2 Amys, Wiseguy Pizza, & We the Pizza are all 4+ Stars and all surpass Bacio in quality and most definitely in customer appreciation. Apparently if you write a negative yelp review you will be refused service lol, at least that's what happened to me. After I posted my previous negative review I call to place an order only to be told I can't be served BECAUSE OF MY NEGATIVE YELP REVIEW LMAO because, In their words, "I cant be satisfied and they're not the restaurant for me" Let me remind you that in the review I specifically said the problem I had was with the particular manager, not her staff or their food. My god this place is a joke. Instead of taking it as constructive criticism, they banned me. When I talked to this particular manager she had the nerve to say I complain all the time & that it makes them look bad in front of the customers (even though it's only been twice and never in front of more than 2 people) Not to mention when I had these two complaints it was bc the 1st time I had found a fucking HAIR, which I wasn't even mad about, I just got it exchanged and went about my day, AND STILL DIDNT LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW, MIND YOU. The second bc the burnt pizza incident. Please save your money. And be carefully writing negative reviews because you will be banned if you decide to give them another chance or if god forbid you hate it but your partner loved it so you go back. Oh and since my negative review bothered you so much, here's another one. Pathetic. read more

Bacio Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Amazing pizza! Recommended to us and we are so happy we tried! The crust is the perfect balance of crispy and airy.

Great pizza! INCREDIBLE, fresh sauce. After watching a game nearby, my other half and I ordered a large Bloomingdale to go. As first timers, we were pleasantly surprised! We'll definitely be returning. read more

A great neighborhood pizza place! The staff is friendly and the food is reliably super good.

4 stars for having tables last minute on a Friday night with no wait. Our server suggested we try the thin crust, which was not Chicago thin crust, but was a great recommendation for the Backo context. I had the Eckington, a delicious meat lovers style pizza. My friend, who is lactose intolerant, enjoyed their build your own thin crust with veggies, sauce, and meat. We both enjoyed glasses of wine. Service hit the right frequency of visits, was polite. read more

We stopped here to grab a pizza, to take back to our Airbnb. We ordered the Eckington, thin crust - pepperoni, ham, sausage, caramelized onion, mozzarella, tomato sauce. It only took 15 minutes. They're a short walk from bus route. Pizza was delicious! Bonus, they have the Mexican Coke (in a bottle). I definitely recommend. read more

While we love this place, we were very disappointed tonight. The employee working take out, came out through the window, pulled down her mask, and started petting someone's dog. She then when back inside, bypassed the hand sanitizer without using it, and then very quickly rinsed her hands off inside without soap. She then called out our name to hand us our pizza. C'mon, you can do better. read more

A few friends and I stopped in here for dinner the other night and we were so satisfied by the pizza! We're from New York and impressing New Yorkers with pizza is difficult to do, to say the least, but it tasted great. The only issue with our evening were our waiter and the drinks--which were pretty awful. I don't think our waiter knew how to mix, so all of our cocktails tasted incredibly off. Our waiter also informed us about happy hour and when we ordered our cocktails, he said that he made a mistake and our drinks weren't included in happy hour. We expected to pay $7.00 for those, but wound up paying $12.00. Then, we ordered some drinks that were on the correct happy hour menu and he still charged us the full price of $11.00, instead of $6.00. So, we originally were going to pay $40.00 for drinks, but got charged $70.00, due to his mistakes. read more

Great gluten free pizza and boyfriend (pizza snob) approved gluten filled pizza. We also loved the atmosphere and the staff was very nice!

My favorite pizza place in the city. Always get the Bloomingdale pizza, it's the best. Cute atmosphere upstairs and nice patio outside. Staff are always friendly. Love! read more

Simply the best take-out pizza in the city. Fast, satisfying, and reliable every time.

What a fantastic place tucked in one of the more charming rowhouses of Bloomingdale. Bacio pizzeria isn't pretentious or expensive, but it IS a place where you can get a banging pizza. Five of us sat in their brand new upstairs dining room, and it felt just like that--like we'd popped in on someone's really nicely decorated quaint living room, and they just happened to have three fantastic pizzas for us to try. We got three large pies: the Bloomingdale, the No. 81, and the Eckington. The Eckington, with pepperoni, ham, sausage, onion, Bacio mozzarella, and tomato sauce, is basically a meat lovers pizza--and it was my favorite. This was a tough call because I loved them all. The Bloomingdale, with prosciutto, cherry tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomato sauce, melts in your mouth. The No. 81, with ricotta, gorgonzola, roasted garlic, fresh mozzarella, parsley, tomato sauce, was really interesting. They chose to throw in the garlic in whole cloves, and initially you're a bit thrown off by the thing. But once you bite into it, you get the rhythm to their madness. It's actually quite delicious. I absolutely recommend popping by here on a weekday. You'll have the place almost completely to yourself, you'll have a good laugh, you'll try a good pizza, and you'll go to bed at night feeling like the world isn't such a shithole, after all. I can't guarantee that last part, though. read more

I will NEVER be going back. The guy who I assume owns this place treated me worse than I have ever been treated at a restaurant in my life. Stay away and go to Rustik instead. We came with a group of eight. Twenty minutes in to the meal I was the only one whose food had not come out yet. My husband went in to check on it and they told him it was "almost ready." Ten minutes later, no food. So I went in and asked why my food was thirty minutes late. The guy turns around and yells "I'm sorry, but I told you there was a printer mistake. It's coming soon." (Lies, this was the first they had admit they made a mistake.) so I said back "well, are you going to give me my money back or something?" You would have thought I insulted his mother or something. He went into a rage and starts saying "who do you think I am?! I can't give you money back, this is a business!" Which of course took me by surprise because this is STANDARD RESTAURANT POLICY WHEN THEY MESS UP YOUR ORDER. Which I told him, to which he yelled "if you have a problem with this, then don't come back." I stood there and watched him take out my food, because I was afraid he would spit in it otherwise. Once he gave me my pizza, I told him I have never gone to a restaurant where they make a mistake and treat the customer like crap as a result. He then took a fistful of money and tried to throw it at me. Stay away. There are so many other places in the neighborhood that treat you with common respect and decency. This guy is a COMPLETE JERK. read more

Great pizza, great vibes - true neighborhood staple. If you haven't tried Bacio, you've got to go.

Bacio is a cute little (primarily) take away pizza place on a side-street in Bloomindale with pizzas named after nearby neighborhoods. The Eckington is a meat lover's dream with pepperoni, ham, sausage, onion, mozzarella, and tomato sauce. The Shaw is ham, baby arugula, ricotta, cherry tomato, mozzarella, and pesto. The product is not bad at all for conveyer-belt pizza, with thin crusts and a coating of corn meal on the bottom. They're also pretty good value: 10" pies are $12 and 14" are $17. As I mentioned, it's currently primarily takeout since, although they have a nice little deck out front with strings of lights and a few tables and chairs, but they only have one indoor table in the tiny downstairs. Fortunately, they will soon be expanding to the second floor of the small standalone building, and will be serving beer and wine as well (they currently allow BYOB). read more

Great little pizza shop in Bloomingdale. Their salads are also quite tasty. Price can be a little high for pizza and a salad but it's more of the DC market. I'd highly recommend the Bloomingdale or Common Good with the spinach salad. read more

Bacio is an addition to what I hope is a continuing trend in DC: mid-range pizza. Something that straddles the line of fancy-pants pizza and affordable take-out pizza. I don't eat pizza frequently, perhaps but 7 times a year-- what can I say, I'd rather eat large chunks of animal flesh. But when I get the craving I want a pie that is tasty without any bells or whistles, big enough that I won't be hungry after eating it, and at a reasonable price. Bacio hits all those requirements pretty darn well. What I especially enjoy with Bacio is their use of cornmeal on the bottom of the pies, which adds another dimension to the crusts. I love that stuff. The crusts at Bacio are always crunchy and hold up well. I may be in the minority, but I like my pizza crust with some char and a backbone... no wimpy soggy shit for me. Bacio definitely ranks among my favorite pizza crusts. The cheese is very tasty, though I'd prefer more of it-- I'm a cheese fiend and relish the memories of the pizza joints from my childhood, where pounds of cheese were used to create a half-inch-thick cheese layer on the pizza. Although I now realize that a half-inch monolith of cheese is rather excessive, I do prefer a healthy (or perhaps unhealthy, depending on your interpretation) layer of cheese and would appreciate a more generous hand during dairy distribution. Bacio's sauce seems sweet to me, but as I'm very sensitive to sweetness, maybe it's normal. Given the infrequency with which I eat pizza, I can't really compare. In any case, a bit more spice would be nice for my preference. It certainly has a fresh and rich tomato taste, which is great. The toppings are quality-- fresh herbs and meats are usual for me, and I count onion as an herb. I guess they have vegetables too, but if I want a salad I'll just order one separately. The large 14" pies from Bacio are the perfect size for me. Yes, I eat an entire 14" pizza, on my own, in one sitting, without hesitation. While Bacio may ring up a bit pricier than other local pizza shops, the quality is there so I don't mind paying a few extra bucks. read more

Since my first review, we've gotten pizza here another 10 or 15 times. They are consistently still excellent. I got a pizza just for myself there last night, after a bad day. They staff was so happy, smiling and friendly -- and I got my pizza (to bring home) so fast that I got home forgetting my bad day. And then I got to eat a delicious pizza to boot! Still 5 starts in my book. read more

I am writing this review as a recent convert to the gluten free life style. So I must say this pizza brought the sort of joy to my life that is hard to explain. Though the physical rewards of the gluten free life style are numerous and glorious, the psychological suffering is nearly equal to the benefits. Gluten free beer sucks and gluten free pizza often tastes like its made out of really dry corn crackers. I hesitantly tried this place since I have been avoiding reminders of things that I am now missing out on, but boy am I glad I did. The crust actually has the texture of pizza crust! Slightly doughy, a bit chewy, with a nice crispy crust. You can still tell its not made from wheat flower, but god its a good substitute!!! On top of that the prices are really reasonable. If you like a lot of ingredients, it may get pricey, but you should just stick to 1-3 ingredients anyway and enjoy the great fresh they offer. Over all, great pizza, friendly staff, and decent prices. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because they only offer the gluten free pizza in the small size, and that is kinda pricey since its really for 1 person. Most importantly, Go try it! read more

I had high hopes for coming here based on the good reviews, but found the pizza to be highly overrated. Based on pricing and menu, it seems to be trying to pass itself off as another "Neapolitan style" pizzeria in D.C. (i.e. 2Amy's, Red Rocks, etc). Unfortunately, it comes out being more similar to an upscale version of chain pizza. The crust was too thick and soft without that pleasant yeasty flavor that marks the best pies around the city. Ultimately, it was just too much flavor-lacking dough relative to the ingredients. The sauce also did not taste like it was made from fresh tomatoes (as the other upscale pizza places around DC do), but cooked down and heavily seasoned. I also ordered prosciutto on my pizza. Rather than being the kind of translucent, long-cured deliciousness I find at other places, this more closely resembled just plain ham one would buy at a grocery store deli counter. It was only $1.50, so I guess you get what you pay for, but once again, it seems to be representing something it was not. This is fine pizza if you like this style (thick crust, no char, doughy, cooked sauce), but it just isn't my thing. There are plenty of other great pizza places in the city to spend time and money here. I think the 4.5 stars this place currently has is highly overrated. read more

Came here with some friends. There was a decent amount of street parking, and we were seated quickly. The service was really good and quick. We ordered two appetizers and two pizzas for three of us (it was a lot of food!). The burrata was delicious, although it could've probably used a bit more bread. The mozzarella sticks were fine - nothing to write home about, though. The pizza was pretty good, although I think it could use a bit more salt in the sauce. Overall, a nice neighborhood place with pretty good pizza. read more

Bacio is our family's go-to spot for delicious pizza in the neighborhood. Everyone loves the pizza and of course their fantastic selection of desserts too. When we've ventured into anything else on the menu we've always loved it, but of course the pizza is our favorite. They also have a nice wine and beer selection too. But by far the best part of this neighborhood gem is the folks who work here. They treat us and everyone who comes through the doors like family. During COVID they've made pick up a breeze and the patio is also open for those who want to eat there. They are really prioritizing the staff and customer's safety, which we appreciate. We love this spot and highly recommend it to anyone for a great dinner. read more

It kills me to write a recommendation for this place because I love it so much! Bottom line: DELICIOUS & affordable! Check out these specials: One topping small pizza $7.95 with a salad and a soda $15.95 ​ ​One topping large pizza $11.95 with a salad and two sodas $20.95 Two large, one topping pizzas $22.95 With specials like this you can't go wrong. The pizza is incredible and I will absolutely be returning to this awesome little hole-in-the-wall local pizza joint! read more

If you are looking for standard greasy pizza this ain't it. If you are looking for a pizza with addictive crust and incredibly fresh ingredients, this is it. I don't usually like crust. I see it as a sauce and toppings delivery system and that is it. But Bacio's crust is sweet, chewy yet light, with a great cornmeal crunch on the bottom. I admit to thinking about Bacio pizza crust more than I should. As in I am obsessed. But if one has to have an addiction, this is a pretty inexpensive and legal addiction to have. On to the sauce. Most pizza sauce has a bit of a sugary high fructose corn syrup taste about it and I always thought that was a given. The owner of Bacio was there the other day and I asked why his sauce tastes so different from other pizza sauce and he said they just use crushed tomatoes. No added crap. Brilliant and thank you. At first I was disappointed that they didn't deliver. Then I realized it doesn't really matter. I'll walk in any weather for a slice of this pizza heaven and friendly banter with the owner. Plus, they always toss me an orange on the way out the door. Random and lovely. read more

Maybe I'm a little biased because I love my neighborhood and want to see all new and independently owned businesses succeed, but regardless, this pizza is GOOD. Located below Green Paws, a great pet shop (with a cute dog to boot!) Baccio serves up delicious and economical pizza options. A great crunchy crust, that could be served up on its own. They make their own mozzarella, and you can tell. Not overly greasy, light with a hint of sweetness. You can make your own pizza, or order one of their creations, named for neighborhood streets. The Seaton is my go to, with roasted red pepper, prosciutto, cherry tomato, Bacio mozzarella and pesto sauce. Overall, a quick and easy option for pizza that is surprisingly impressive. read more

Ordered a large take out pizza and it was amazing! The sauce is great and dough is tasty--without being over salted. The ingredients are definitely 47384 steps above any generic pizza joint. This will be my new staple! read more

I had ordered a pizza for the family. The pizza was ready when I arrived and the service was good. I was happy to see Uncle Chip's cookies on display. I like that they are supporting local businesses in the neighborhood. The pizza was fresh and tasted really g read more

Bacio is fantastic for multiple reasons but my favorite thing about Bacio is in my humble opinion it has a phenomenal gluten free crust. I've tried 4 or 5 gluten crusts around the city and Bacio delivers the best overall package and does not make me feel like i'm eating an alternative pizza. The other great thing about their gluten free crust is that it doesn't cost a fortune for the request. Their pizza tastes fresh and I love sitting on their outside patio surrounded by the herb and veggie garden that they use in their pizza. read more
