    White pizza (10 inch) with spinach and mushrooms
    Chuck H.

    Growing up in New York City, living in Chicago and Urbana-Champaign for 17 years, I am a bit of a pizza snob. This is good. I had the 10 inch white pizza, which comes with spinach, and I added sautéed mushrooms. This was great. Not overly seasoned, but the quality and freshness of ingredients shown through. Crust (standard hand thrown) was nicely cooked, and both the crust and the cheese had the type of browning that one sees in a nice NY pizza. Downside is not many seats (probably only about 20-25 in the entire shop). A nice find in downtown DC

    Stopped in for dinner and it was busy- they let us know it'd be 20 minutes for pizza, which we appreciated. We got a pizza and sandwich, both of which were good. For the style restaurant it is (order at counter and wait for food at table), the bill was a bit steep.

    Soccer girls pizza

    The food is always cooked to perfection and consistently delicious. I usually order the Girls Soccer Pizza (their version of a meat lovers pizza), and it never disappoints. It is a little pricey, but that's pretty much expected in DC. I typically stop by during the middle of the day on weekdays since I work nearby. The service has always been friendly, fast, and efficient. Overall, it's one of the best pizza spots in the city. One thing to note: they do not sell jumbo slices.

    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
    Taylor A.

    - 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.

    12 inch Cheese pizza

    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.

    Italian Mama with jalapeño. Every time I am in the east coast I make sure to visit. Must have plus the customer service is amazing.
    Maxinne A.

    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.

    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.

    I Was Craving Pizza & Wanted To Try Something Different For Once. I've Been Hearing About This Spot…read moreFor Years But Never Actually Went... Until Now. Today Was The Day. 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.

    When they named this place, they absolutely nailed it! Side Door Pizza truly earns the name. The…read morepizza counter literally shares a kitchen with Scarlet Oak, and how do you get in or out? Through the side door, of course. Side Door Pizza is essentially a takeout counter just off the kitchen with its own separate entrance. We didn't quite realize that going in, and since it was cold and windy, we asked if we could take our pizza inside and sit at Scarlet Oak. They were happy to accommodate, asking only that we order something there as well, so we grabbed a drink. The pizza came out quickly, hot and fresh. We're vegetarians, so we ordered one square slice of cheese and one square slice of mushroom. The cheese slice was good but not great. It could have used a bit more sauce and seasoning. The mushroom slice, however, was excellent. We both immediately agreed we should have just ordered a full mushroom pie. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience. The environment was welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're in the Navy Yard area, it's definitely worth a stop. They also have a fairly extensive menu beyond pizza, which we didn't explore this time--but if you go, it's worth checking out the full lineup.

    Cute little place that was all decorated for the season…read more This was our first time here & we had heard a good buzz about the place so we were excited to try it out & hankering for some good pizza. We arrived 20 minutes to closing, not realizing their hours, but they were open & it's pizza & cooks fast. Yet it was abundantly clear they were hoping no one walked in & we were told they were closing so we asked if we could order and they hesitated. We were about to leave when they said yes. We were a party of three & ordered three pizzas to share & try. They were decent and the other two really liked the dough but I actually did not care for it. They staff cleaned around us including at our table & had their music going. Then they sat on the counter and watched us, lol. Not a fun experience & we would not have bothered them had we known. If you are open then you are open, otherwise close up early. No real desire to go back!

    Was so hungry the last time we went in, we forgot to take pictures of the pizza…read more This pizza is so yummy but their salads are also so good you almost forget you're eating a salad. They usually rotate a seasonal selection of salads so you know what you're getting is fresh and in season. For pizza, it's always so hard to just choose one or two kinds. But no matter what you decide on, you won't be disappointed. Personally, I'm a one pizza per person kinda gal, but these are for sure shareable and the ambiance is very relaxed and the staff is very nice and willing to make recommendations. A great staple in this area!

Don't walk away if you find a crowd waiting at the door. They'll get you seated. Just give them a second. Or grab a seat at the bar like I did. Or sit on their great outdoor covered patio. The service is great no matter where you're seated. My first try at the famous Drunken Love pizza. I thought the color was a little odd for a pizza, but that's the vodka sauce. And it's delish. The whole thing had a "so that's why it's popular" taste to it. Kind of not like eating pizza, but it is. Overall super solid. Shout out to the bar guys who never stopped moving. Between them and the guys making the pizzas, dinner and a show!

Our server (I believe his name was Anthony) was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, answered all of our questions, and even suggested cocktails based on what we liked. His recommendations for both drinks and food were spot on. He was patient while our group made decisions, attentive throughout the meal, and made the entire experience feel effortless. The food was outstanding. The Caesar salad was honestly one of the best I've had in a long time; fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We had to try the famous Drunken Love pizza, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! We also shared several pasta dishes, with the Cacio e Pepe being the clear favorite at our table. Of course, we couldn't skip dessert. We ordered the cannoli brownie, tiramisu, and cheesecake, and every single one was delicious. The tiramisu was the unanimous winner, but the cannoli brownie deserves a mention! It is incredibly rich and packed with flavor in every bite. Between the amazing food, excellent service, and fun atmosphere, Grazie Nonna made our birthday celebration one to remember. I'll definitely be back and can't wait to try more of the menu!

When we first walked in, the cashier immediately apologized for the long wait times, thanked everyone for their patience, and let us know they were incredibly short staffed with only two people working. Because the tiny interior was already packed, we decided to leave and do some sightseeing first. However, seeing how good the pizza looked we knew we had to come back later that afternoon. There's no negative details in my review. Nothing but positive things and a small recommendation. 1. Staff and Service I really appreciated the cashier's honesty about running behind right off the bat. That allowed us to make an informed choice rather than get frustrated by a long wait. More businesses could learn from this! 2. Restaurant's Layout The inside is a bit tight and busy, but it's located in a smaller older building, so they have no other options. Since they can't expand the inside adding an outdoor pub height counter for eating, a bench or some seating out front would be a great way to give waiting patrons a place to sit. Also a place to eat. 3. The Pizza -The Veggie Pizza: My nephew and I both ordered this, and the slices were massive you'll see in my pics! They were honestly the largest slices I have ever seen! I love pizza and have eaten it in New York and Chicago, and my slice here held its own. It was loaded with a huge variety of vegetables. I requested to put mine through the oven twice to get the veggies warm and cooked because I noticed my nephew's slice looked like a warm salad on crust. So happy I did because it was delicious! The jalapeños were intensely spicy which is on me, since I'm a bit of a lightweight with spice! -The Meat Options: My son got the pepperoni and thought it was really good, and my husband got a supreme slice which he also said was good . 4. Price and pizza size- they're more expensive than a typical slice, but once you see those big ole slices in my pics you'll understand why. They can't even fit on a plate. They had to serve them to you in an actual pizza box! After reading my long review you're trying to find out if I would go back huh? Absolutely! If I ever in the area or stay at the Hilton DC again, I would definitely walk right on over and get a slice. You can feed a family of three on one slice! Adult and two small children!
