DC staple, always amazing and perfect after a night out around DC. The pizza is simple and straight to the point, nothing fancy but just what you need. The employees are always nice and the food is delicious. I'm pretty sure the prices have gone up but regardless always a favorite. read more

Jumbo Slice Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

See all

Great place to stop by after a night out in AdMo. Decent flavor just really known for the slice size. Average thin pizza.

I absolutely love this pizza. I love everything about it. The funny part is that people love to eat this pizza drunk - well I don't drink and I actually truly enjoy it sober! First of all, they are open super late, which is so convenient. Second of all this is the OG spot, all the fakes don't even come close. The pizza is so greasy but tastes oh so good and literally ENORMOUS. I know when you go in the place- its a straight hole in the wall - but isn't that where the best food always is?? 100% recommend. I don't get to eat it that often but It is one of my absolute favorite pizza joints. read more

Dear Jumbo slice, We've been doing this for about eight years now, never sober, only when I want you real bad. It's hard when you entice me with your disco balls and indian music, but I always have $4 in my pocket and two quarters for pepperoni. I feel the jealous eyes when I walk out with you and sometimes you screw me by camouflaging the parmesan cheese as garlic powder. You're like a bad relationship, Jumbo slice, but dammit do I respect you. read more

Okay, I know Jumbo Slice is massively overhyped, but I totally understand the cult following of this place. Just like in real estate, it's all about Location, Location, LOCATION. For around $5-7, you get a ginormous pizza of doom. Why would you come here other than at 1 to 3 in the morning, I have no idea, but Jumbo Slice serves its true purpose (i.e. stomach liner for the too drunk) in AdMo's notorious late night chaos. I was actually impressed that the crust tasted fresh and light, the pepperoni was greasy, sufficient, and oh so yummy. Nothing gourmet here and not worth making a special (sober) trip, but for a slice that's basically the equivalent to the size of half a pizza, it's a good deal and perfect for ending the night. Also, hilarious to watch drunk folks try to eat a slice outside. Bonus! They take credit card. Also amazed at the volume of folks and how quickly they got you your slice - no wait time here. All in all, it's a late night joint in one of DC's main party districts. What more can you ask for? read more

From the standpoint of a New Yorker, this is the worst pizza I have ever had the displeasure of eating. It tastes like enriched starch and red paste, and I'm sure the ingredients, in reality, are not much better than that. While it may passable when inebriated, Jumbo Slice ultimately serves a slice that is an abomination to pizza. Go somewhere else. Order Domino's. Eat soap. Unless you're drunk. read more

Came in for a slice of pizza, walked out with the state of Montana. Walked onto the Metro, Pizza came up at Grosvenor station. Adams Morgan 3......John 0 :( read more

It's hard to believe that a pizza fiend and all-out glutton like myself did not know that jumbo slices even existed. Maybe some part of me did know, but it was totally under the radar, limited to dream scenes, episodes of Man Vs. Food I never paid attention to, and grody college humor fantasies... Even more difficult to fathom is why my friends in DC waited for my THIRD visit to unveil this temple for drunks in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. Anyway, my Jumbo Slice experience was all very straightforward; we went out in the area first, pounded beers at a few of the estabilshments in the surprisingly (I say surprisingly, because we New Yorkers have our noses in the air about nightlife in other "cities") awesome strip of bars frequented by college students, young professionals, and out of town hoodlums. Then, we walked slowly back towards Woodley Place, and I marveled at the whistle clean streets and conservative, non-smoking crowds while my friends - spoiled by DC vision - vocalized how dirty, nasty, and sketchy the whole scene was. We walked into the small pizza house, which had a benevolent crowd and line remeniscent of a late night at Blondie's in Berkeley. I peeked into the kitchen and let out a squeal that probably woke a few people up from their blackouts. I couldn't believe it. It was seriously like I was Alice in Wonderland and had eaten those shrooms that shrunk me...because there was no other way the pizza pie could be so big. It was like the size of a round table cloth. It was goddamn huge. The cutter/server smiled/sneered at me with pride and a measure of contempt. "Six dollars!" he barked, lopping off a gigantic triangle larger than my face (that's pretty damn big, folks), and whipping it down on two overlapping paper plates. So floppy and unwieldy were our purchases that we had to stop at the lean-to counter to trim them down before we could get mobile again. For some reason, all three of my buddies chowed down and finished these monstrosities in about five minutes flat. I couldn't stop saying "HOLY SHIT" and wondering aloud how they were already finished. "It's because we're not talking and we folded ours in half," they said, but I still didn't get it. The bites I made looked as small as the arcs of pinky fingernails against the hot tundra of tomato sauce, cheese, and oil-dimpled pepperoni. I kept working on it the whole way home (about a twenty minute walk), and kept snacking for half an hour more in a semi-supine state on the couch with a huge cup of Coca Cola by my side. My friend groaned, clutching her stomach and rolling on her bed. I felt like I was in both Heaven (eternal happiness) and Hell (endless task) until I somehow reached the end and passed out. I felt fine, by the way, and ready to seize the next day. Jumbo Slice is a grotesquely pleasing national treasure, but definitely not a place to be over-visited, or I'm sure there'd be consequences. Wouldn't there? read more

Cheap Freaking Delicious Nice and hot, crunchy crust. Kinda sketch inside though... I am probably the only living human being who has always been sober when I've eaten here, and i can still say the pizza is good. I'm rarely in adams morgan, but if I am, I like a slice from here. Slices are big enough to feed multiple people. Yummm pizza grease drippin... Just don't touch too much in here. I dont think it's there fault, but tons of drunken people doesnt really make for the cleanest pizza parlor. read more

BEST pizza in town. Greasy but worth eating. One slice will satisfy your pizza cravings for a while but it only leaves you wanting to eat more and more... $5 a slice, not bad for the amount you get.! read more

My boyfriend and I came here the other night when visiting Adams Morgan. This was my first time in the area, and boy was I taken aback by how many college kids were around. I definitely do not think this area is my scene, however, I loved finding Jumbo Slice and splitting one of their large cheese pizza slices with my bf. As everyone else has mentioned their slices are beyond the size of your typical pizza. Think the size of your head if not larger. It surpasses even the size of Sabarro's in the mall. The greasy goodness would be great for a late night bite after a night of debauchery or simply to hold you over if you are feeling a bit of hunger which was our case. We didn't want anything overwhelming, but just enough. It does hit the spot for sure! We dined outside on their outdoor patio tables. They had 4 tables out there where it makes for great people watching. We were heckled by three homeless people and a tarot card reader all in the 30 minutes we dined out there. For the heck of it, we did get a tarot card reading a piece for $5. A dinner and a show for the cheap, why not?! We weren't too impressed with our show, however, our dinner was decent and I will definitely go back. read more

Keep in mind that I have never been to this place sober, ever, so my judgement might have been a bit clouded. This was my last visit to Jumbo Slice and I will try to recreate the event for my fellow Yelpers by a short story. Let's get this straight, right off the bat. You are blasted, can't see straight, and are hungry as hell. You see someone walk by you eating a slice of pizza the size of a small car (no kidding, the slice is the size of a half of a large pizza) and you must have it. You ask the guy where he got it, trying not to slur so hard so he can understand you while your friends hold you up. You get carried into Jumbo Slice demanding that your friends release you so you aren't embarrassed, but it's totally cool! There are at least two other people in there that can't stand under their own power so why the hell should you? Well I did, I stood there and waited to get my slice of glory along with the mob of other people who have drank themselves into a coma. My friend behind me tells me he is really hungry and he is going to order TWO slices of Jumbo Slice, which even in my current state I tell him is a very bad idea. A bad idea indeed. I get my pizza, which is so large it is on two (or three) paper plates and I tilt it toward the floor to drain the excess grease (which is enough to lubricate a locomotive) and let it drain right there in the shop. I do not care because it is filthy in there and I am in a drunken stupor. I eat my Jumbo Slice, all of it. My friend eats his two slices, all of it. We then proclaim how it is the greatest damn pizza we have ever had. There are other people in the shop fighting and cursing, there is some poor girl throwing up in a trashcan in the corner. We then leave and get on the Metro and head toward Vienna, my friend complaining about how full and sick he feels from eating his two slices of trash pizza. Getting off of the Metro in Vienna my friend who thought it was the greatest idea ever to eat two slices of Jumbo Slice, throws it all back up immediately after getting off of the escalator. People are shocked and terrified that he did this in the Metro station but my friend is more concerned and disappointed in the fact that he just threw up and wasted $8 worth of Jumbo Slice in a train station. We quickly evacuated the scene and were chauffeured home by our kind DD (Thanks Mark!). SO! Jumbo Slice is a drunken idiots paradise. Having gone there a few times less drunk, the pizza is still decent and huge but Adams Morgan is a dangerous place to be after the bars close and you are guaranteed to see a fight or two, maybe even one in Jumbo Slice like other Yelpers have seen. If you must have pizza, and can't see straight, this is your place to be. read more

Jumbo Slice is definitely a bit of a dump, but I can see the appeal. It is tucked away in the perfect spot on 18th St. There are so many bars and restaurants to get your drink on at right beside it that I feel like literally everyone was dropping by for a slice afterwards. Starting at $5.50 for a Cheese and $1.00 extra per topping I did think it was rather pricey. The whole place was a mess inside and out, with trash everywhere and a messy food preparation area. It's good for a late night snack if you don't care what you're eating, but other than that I'd skip out. read more

$5.50 for a piece of cardboard dribbled with tomato sauce is a little steep in my book, even if the pizza has to be rolled up like an ancient manuscript to be eaten. DC pizza is pitiful so I cringe when I say it, but this is the best pie you'll find in NW. read more

Disappointed after a local had talked about it the whole night. The cheese tasted like it had been sitting out (it wasn't stringy & oozey like a good slice of pizza should be like), not enough sauce & it was $5. It comes no where close to Benny's in Hoboken. read more

She said..."I don't know if its because they are open really late and a lot of drunk people stroll in late at night, but this pizza was bangin'. Once again, it could have been because we had been drinking and were starving, but the pizza was good and huge. We will have to go back during the day and try it but I am sure it will be just as good. Yummmm." He said..."This place is on Travel Channel's best pizza places on the east coast. We have gone once after a night of going out. So to say we loved it...well I can't remember. I can tell you I ate one slice by myself and it was quite delicious. As the name indicates...they are huge...I mean jumbo slices...We need to go back during the day to try it out again. " read more

"I'm reeeeeeeeeally drunk... need food." "Well what kind of food would you like?" "Don't care, JUST FOOD!!" *trips on curb* "Ok well how about pizza?" "Well that depends. Does it come in an oversized, ridiculously greasy portion that, at some point in the next 4 hours, will make me jump up in a drunken stupor, sprint to the bathroom like Flo-Jo after shotgunning a box of ExLax, and take an explosive, earth-shattering dump? You know, the kinda one that forces you to clinch the toilet seat with the fear and anxiety akin to a space shuttle launch?" "Yeah, JUMBO SLICE." You'll only think it is good cause you're drunk. Seriously, have you EVER seen anyone in here sober? Do your colon a favor and pass on this. Or stock up on toilet paper. And get ready, cause the journey home could very well be a race with the devil. read more

I doubted when people told me the size of the slice you get for about four dollars. I stand corrected. For the price alone who would walk past this place? I know, someone who doesn't carry any cash with them. That would be me. read more

You'll note from the other reviews that this isn't a place you go to unless you've had at least 8 beers. If all of your patrons are drunk, why WHY do you put garlic powder in a container that says parmesan cheese?!? It's just mean. read more

Literally the best slice pizza to have if you don't want to commit to a whole pie. I'm sure it's equivalent to maybe 3 slices.

Jumbo Slice = AWESOME. Seriously, this thing could cure world hunger. If you have doubts about the size - the reviews or the pics aren't convincing enough, just imagine the largest pizza slice you've ever had....then DOUBLE IT. Word of the wise, avoid the exotics - avoid the meat lovers or the additional toppings...this thing has enough grease alone, no need to add additional grease. After a rough night in adam's morgan full of lines at glorified frat parties, Jumbo Slice is the one thing I know will never let me down. But seriously, I don't know how I can love a place that probably ends up making me feel even more sick afterwards than before....but it sure sobers you up. No frills pizza, served hot, thick, greasy, and plentiful - all the good stuff that a pizzeria is about - just plain good pizza. read more

I can't believe I've NEVER been here before! I came after going to Grand Central. This place lives up to its name, the pizza literally is JUMBO SIZED! I was so shocked... I got just a the regular cheese pizza... It was so good, it probably tasted even better because it was 3 am. 6 bucks for a HUGE slice is pizza--2 thumbs up from me!! read more

This pizza is disgusting. It is greasy and tasteless and more expensive than what its worth. But when you're drunk...its great. Go. But only when you need something to soak up the alcohol in your tummy. P.S. The trick to eating it is rolling it. Don't try to eat that whole slice normally. Roll it up and eat it that way. Trust me. It works. read more

I give the pizza 5 stars. At 3am it hits all the right spots. However the drunken crowd you have to deal with to get inside to order is crazy!! read more

Jumbo Slice Pizza - Best Drunk Food ever!!!!!! - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I only have two words about this establishment and they are: "Wow. Wee", or possibly a one word conjunction of two: "Wowee". As a native Bostonian (as I like to call myself despite the fact that I live in a suburb 45 minutes south of the great city), I always enjoy a good slice, haha right? Let me tell you, my slight to moderately-heavy level of inebriation at the time of my visit may have impaired my judgement of this pizza's quality, but the quantity was most certainly "jumbo". If this slice was a human being, I would describe it as a man of about 6'4" weighing in around 165 with nice enough facial features and a decent haircut: quite tall (long) but not very thicc. Would I eat this slice again? Undoubtedly. Would I marry it? Probably not, unless it really had a good set of morals and hefty salary. read more

First off, you don't have to be drunk to enjoy Jumbo Slice. They honestly make a delicious slice of pie at a good price. It's easy to overlook this when you're pushing your way through the rowdy crowd of drunks usually gathered outside, then being mesmerized by the enormous slices of pizza being served up for less than $5 at the front counter. But then you take your first sober bite and YUM! 20 bites and 5 napkins later your pizza craving is satisfied and you're wondering when you'll be in Adams Morgan again. Like all great hole in the wall destinations, this place is cash only. And a warning to out of towners or those not familiar with Adams Morgan - parking on the street is a huge pain in the butt so take the Metro. read more

This is the archetype of drunken NY style pizza. So you've drank your body weight in alcohol and after all those sweet carbs you need some salty, greasy, beach blankets disguised as pizza slices. This is the type of pizza where you pay for it twice...$5 at the counter, and at home when your stomach reacts in horror to the mound of greasy cheese it's forced to digest. Currently at 3.5 stars? I wonder how many reviews were written during hangovers. If you're lucky, you'll get to watch a drunken fight as well. The lines are long so enjoy the entertainment. If you're a regular here, you not only accustomed to a queasy abdomen, but probably used to bringing home questionable company. You'll need the walk of shame to burn off those calories. read more

I like this place. Located conveniently along many many bars, Jumbo Slice is a great option when you or your friends are drunk hungry. The pizza slices are in fact JUMBO. Slices are served fast, and the pizza is totally steaming when you get it. They also taste pretty good, (maybe even if you're not drunk). I think this is a good, no frills pizza joint. It's open late and pretty cheap for what you get. I'd take my inhiberated friends here if we were in the area after a couple drinks. read more

I made the mistake of eating this when I was sober. Why would I do something laughable and ridiculous like that?! Go ONLY when drunk. It tastes better. But you knew that. read more

Good pizza and price for a cheese pizza. But owner is sketchy and tries to scam. So beware beware beware

Since I'm reviewing jumbo slice sober, it only got 3 stars. If I was reviewing this after a night in grand central, it'd probably be 4-5 stars. This is the definition of DC drunk food. It's huge. It's greasy. It's over-priced. It's fast. oh GAWD, It is SO delicious when you lack sensible judgment. DO NOT GO HERE SOBER. That's my best advice for jumbo slice. read more

JUMBO can be considered an understatement when talking about the size of these slices. As big as your eyes might be, hold back from ordering more than one slice... I promise you'll be more than stuffed! Only 6 bucks for the biggest slice of pepperoni pizza you'll ever have the pleasure of stuffing your face with. They're open late into the night, making Jumbo Slice a perfect last stop before heading home after the bars. Consider yourself warned though: this extra greasy treat WILL ruin your cute top and jeans... grab as many napkins as you possible can! And then let yourself indulge in the ooey gooey goodness of Jumbo Slice Pizza. read more

Jumbo Slice is a MUST HAVE after a long night of drinking/partying in Adams Morgan. Usually I'm so drunk that i walk past the gah-zillion people waiting in line, find some boys close to the front who aren't paying attention and then cut in front of them and order real quick. I'm too drunk to care at that point that I'd hate me if I were one of the people waiting in line. I've only been called out on this once, by a guy, and he didn't care - actually gave me his # !!! haha. Anyway, greasy ass pizza, so huge (about a quarter of a pizza) it's served on two paper plates (vertical) and on tin foil.... you need two hands to carry it, and AT LEAST one person to help you eat it (especially if you're a girl..... unless you're super dooper hungry). This is a hot spot of AM, so expect to wait in line & expect me to cut in front of you (hah), expect to run into people from your college/high school/work if you've lived in that area a good while or went to any of the DC/VA/MD colleges. Just try not to drop your pizza on the way out!!! (Saw a girl do this once, and I nearly peed my pants I was laughing so hard). THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY. read more

Four dollars for enough pizza to keep your drunk ass from craving any more food, long enough until you fall asleep from the alcohol. For someone who makes a night at the bars, this place serves as a utility and does it as good as it needs to be done. Why make better pizza when your average customer is too drunk to care? If people came here with any discretion...well, they probably just wouldn't come in the first place. You walk in, hand the man your money, take a slice (or two if you are a glutton or just born without sense) and leave. End of story. You now have something to do with your mouth instead of yelling into a cell phone, and you are also one step closer to throwing up. Congratulations. read more

This gargantuan slice of pizza is more than enough for two people but WHO LIKES SHARING?!

It is what it is, It's drunk food. Comfort food for the drunks. It's decently priced and quick. You get a huge slice to satisfy your craving for food after a long night out drinking. It helps with soaking down the alcohol in your stomach. There's always loud music playing on the background and very colorful characters here after midnight. ( read as drunks ) . Most of the time that I've been here, I seen one or two people sleeping on the table as their friend kills a giant jumbo slice pizza. I won't say it's the greatest pizza in the neighborhood but it does it's job after last call on U St. and I don't have to pay more than $7 dollars for a cheese pizza. Just be aware that it gets pack after last call but you will still get serve pretty fast. read more
