    Visiting from California, and as a true pizza lover, I had to give Bozzelli a try and I'm so glad I did! I ordered the vegan pizza, and wow, it completely exceeded my expectations. So rich in flavor, perfectly crusty, and incredibly satisfying. The service was just as impressive. All the Latina ladies working there were so sweet, warm, and welcoming. It's always a treat to feel that kind of genuine hospitality definitely gave the place a great vibe. The ambiance is cute and cozy, right in the heart of downtown with lots of nearby stores and restaurants. A perfect stop if you're exploring the area. Highly recommend!

    Fries & Italian

    - 1 star because it's too damn expensive +4 stars because it's phenomenal Stopped by on a Thursday evening at 5:45ish. Used the kiosk (a bit cumbersome) to order an Italian (extra Italian) with the fries + drink combo. $24.50 pre tip is highway robbery for a sandwich and fries... That being said, the sandwich? Delicious, tons of thinly sliced meat (but not too much!) and fresh ingredients. The bread was soft and slightly toasted and my mouth is watering thinking about it. Oh and the fries(!!!!) were crispy on the outside and soft and moist inside. They're wedge cut and while they could've used a lil more salt and a few extra packages of ketchup, they were piping hot and fresh. This location is fairly small inside. It's perhaps best to order ahead if you're in a rush. All in all, highly recommended and will be back!

    The staff here is really nice and what I like about Bozzelli's is how quickly the pizzas are made fresh and the variety of sizes, from individual 5-inch pizzas to full 14-inch ones. I just got the Fugetaboutit, which is a meat lovers pie but there are plenty of options to cater to different dietary needs.

    I came here because I heard they had a gluten-free crust. The place was clean and simple. I think they do way more pickups than in-store eating. The service was fine - order at the register or through a kiosk. I ordered a margarita pizza, which cost $24 (way too high). The crust was rice and/or potato starch-based - it was okay but nothing special (I prefer corn or cauliflower). The sauce, cheese, and cherry tomatoes were good. So, I am giving it a high rating mostly for trying and having gluten-free options, but the price is not worth it. I hope non-gluten-free options are better and cheaper.

    Needed a quick lunch, so stopped by this fast-casual style spot to grab and sandwich to-go. Did not get a chance to try the pizzas, but have heard good things so will have to return to give those a sampling. My meatball sub was done just right with plenty of gooey mozzarella cheese and a zesty marinara sauce. Anxious to see what their other food tastes like, but will have to be on another trip into DC.

    Delicious Italian mama with jalapeño added. I make sure to visit this place when I am on the east coast. I appreciate the amazing customer service.

    Came here for a cheese pizza. It's was very good. It had a nice.l thin crust and was cooked to perfection. The cheese was very good. Service was fast and efficient .

    5" Island Time Pizza
    Rickard S.

    During a visit to Washington, DC I was looking for a place where I could get a quick lunch. Bozzelli's was a short walk from where I was rehearsing and performing. Excellent choice of pizza in various sizes. I ordered a 5" Island Time made with bacon, pineapple and chili garlic sauce. It was my choice because I enjoy pineapple on pizza. Instead of using the ordering kiosk I ordered at the counter. The young man was helpful and delivered the order to my table. The small pizza was hot, delicious, and perfect for one for a quick lunch. I also bought a can of soda for something to drink. Even though it was about 1:15-1:30pm the place was quiet. There was outside seating available too and a selection of various table sizes. I would definitely recommend.

    Seasoned Fries
    Arielle W.

    Got an order for pick up, and it was ready right on time. I got the individual size Island time pizza, and it's the perfect portion. I also got an order of garlic knots and an order of the fries. The ranch is definitely not my cup of tea, but it served its purpose. The fries were pretty good, super crispy, and the garlic knots had a very great garlic flavor. Would definitely order again. Inside of the restaurant was fine, but I ordered for pick up so I didn't stay. Staff was very friendly when I got to the counter, and my order came out quickly.

    Great sandwiches! We ordered online, and picked up on our way to the airport. The sandwiches were perfect! We ordered two Metro Italians and one caprese. We definitely go back again!

    Toya J.

    Great for carry out. They serve beer and wine and all sorts of specialty pizzas and subs. I got a 10-inch thin crust pepperoni and sausage pizza with red onions. It was good! The customer service was excellent, as I was waiting, the employee walked my pizza out to me, which I thought was kind. I definitely plan to come back for the BBQ Pizza soon.

    ambiance
    Keerthi D.

    Bozzelli's is a pizza place in Georgetown close to the waterfront. There's big tables and board games inside - it's a great place for families and big groups. The aesthetic inside is space themed and there's lots of cute decorations. You order at a kiosk and they bring the pizzas to your table. They take a while and are a bit expensive + small, but they're tasty and filling. I'd recommend going here if you're in the area and craving a delicious pizza.

    The cheese pizza was piping hot, fresh and delicious! The staff was really friendly and helpful. The restaurant was conveniently located in an area that has many bike parking where you can just ride up, lock your bikes/scooters and have a quick bite. It's a well lit and clean cozy spot. We will come again.

Unfortunately, I never got a chance to while I lived in DC, because to be honest, I never got in an Italian mood. Now that I no longer reside in the DC area, I use every visit to eat my faves and occasionally a new spot. So, after another popular (and cheaper) Italian place closed before I could finish my delivery order, I spotted L'Ardente. I ordered the famous Lasagna - their 40-layer specialty - with short rib sugo, truffle mornay, and Sottocenere Cheese. The truffle mornay added a smooth, melty, creamy cheese sauce. It is good, but I am not sure if it is worth the hype at $40 lagnasa. I think the cost is built into the work but not the flavor profile. I think the meal is better without the sauce - it made it too salty with it.

I'm glad I said yes because the focaccia is very fresh and was a great addition to the meal. For my main, I ordered the vodka pasta, which was very flavorful and very saucy. I love a good, thick vodka sauce and that's what you'll get here. The one part of the pasta I didn't really enjoy was the chicken inside the pasta.

Not saying that dining companions are distracting, but I felt like I could fully experience the flavor of both the Taglioni Neri and Gnocchi, both half portions at $10 each, better on my own. When the dishes came, I saw that the sauces were both red and feared they would taste too similar. After one fork full of each, they are quite clearly distinct. The standout in the Neri were the shellfish for me. Even though they were small bits, the pieces tasted fresh. In the Gnocchi, the saltiness of the prosciutto, though not overwhelming, paired well with the basil sauce. I finished a little more than half of each plate before boxing it up for a small lunch the next day. The service was great and the tall ceiling and windowed dining room provided a nice atmosphere. It was a cloudy and rainy Memorial Day, but I wondered what the sunlight looked like shining through those high windows. How lovely a space they have created to enjoy fine Italian dining in.

Perfectly seasoned and rich in flavors. Other members of my party enjoyed their dishes: Cappelletti and Paccheri Alla Norma, both were described as absolutely perfect. Excellent evening, great service, incredible food and perfect drinks! What's not to love about this place?! I'll be back!

For food we had Brussels, calamari, and mussels to start (all delicious), tortellini mignon (underwhelming and sent back for the lobster linguine), scallop and shrimp risotto (okay, but I've had better), and branzino (good and cooked well) as entrees. I had the tiramisu for dessert which was good, but I did almost choke in the first bite from the amount of cinnamon. I would go back to try additional dishes, but a little underwhelmed for a first experience.
