I finally made it to Della Barba in DC after recently trying the new Giordano's, and the comparison…read morewasn't even close. As someone who spent the first 18 years of my life in Chicago, I was disappointed with how much Giordano's has changed. Della Barba, on the other hand, absolutely got Chicago-style pizza right. We started with the Caesar salad, and it was outstanding. Honestly, it could compete with the Caesar salads served at some of the best steakhouses. Fresh, flavorful, and one of the best I've had in a long time. The pizza was the star of the meal. It was excellent and would hold its own in Chicago. That's not a compliment I hand out lightly. The crust, sauce, cheese, and overall flavor were exactly what I was hoping for. If someone told me this place was in Chicago, I'd believe them. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. Our waitress, who had purple hair, came across as rude, unfriendly, and seemed genuinely annoyed to be serving us. What made it even more frustrating was watching her warmly greet and interact with the table seated after us. Maybe she was just having an off moment, but whatever the reason, it definitely took away from the experience. Overall, I'd absolutely go back because the food was that good. The Caesar salad and pizza are worth the trip. I just hope the service is better next time because the kitchen deserves much higher marks than the front of the house. Food: 5/5 Service: 1/5 Overall: 4/5

Do not order delivery from here. You place the order via Toast, but then it's a driver via…read moreDoorDash. When you place the order, you get a delivery estimate of roughly 1-1.5 hours. The actual time is over 3 hours (and, literally, after the restaurant had closed). I understand that there is pretty much nothing restaurants can do about delivery times with services like DoorDash. But this was one of the craziest and most annoying delivery experiences I've had. (And no, it wasn't the deep dish / Chicago-style pizzas that I ordered. I know those have a long cook time.) And then the pizza was cold and didn't even taste good. That was the biggest thing - it wasn't even any good. Clearly should've ordered from somewhere else. Tried two different pizzas and wasn't a fan of either. Everything tasted off - the crust, the cheese, the toppings. Now maybe it was an off night. Maybe it's better in the restaurant. Maybe the Chicago-style from here is better. I just don't know if I'm willing to take a chance on it again.

Our waiter did that. I asked for recommendations and he explained everything on the menu to us. Then I asked a specific question about a dish and he knew the answer immediately. He also gave us specials. I got the Orecchiette e Salsiccia -- Rapini shells with sausage. I loved it. Someone else my table got the special -- pasta with steak. The steak was cooked PERFECTLY and was wonderful. Overall, I loved Pacci's. It has a laid back family vibe yet the food is fantastic. One more thing: the neighborhood Pacci's is in is beautiful. Pacci's itself is in a very rustic nice building, right across from many beautifully painted rowhomes and brownstones.

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 I saw that this place was on the Hill, I knew I would have to walk over. This past Tuesday, I walked over after the lunch rush, and at 2ish it was calm. I was greeted by aromas that only one could dream of. Immediately I'm allured. The cook near the pizza ovens ringed a bell and immediately here came a server asking if I'd like to dine in or take it to go. I was working and opted to take it to go. I ordered the lunch special and also a kids pasta and meatball, I'm greedy and needed to try both. Don't judge me, the smells had this girl hooked! Price is fair considering it's the city. I spent around $30 with a lemonade added. Staff were SO nice! Ambiance is quaint, casual, and friendly. I love the sign! Pizza with no politics so fitting for the Hill! I'm definitely going to be a regular! Let's get into it! Margherita Pizza - Delicious! I couldn't even wait to get to the office. I opened up that box and ate a slice there at the restaurant. It's the sauce for me! Ooooooooohhhhhhh weeeeeee! Salad - Good! If you're a big dressing person ask for it on the side. For me, I don't like a lot of dressing and it was perfect! Meatball Pasta - Meatball was so good! I'm a sauce lover and I will ask for extra next time. Overall I'm coming back, the sweet server asked if I wanted to be in the rewards program, I had said no but wished I would have done it! Sighs. There will be next time! Real soon.

The flavor of the potatoes were cooked through and added a nice texture to the pie. The rosemary was also a nice touch to the pizza. I believe they have specials on Monday and Wednesday. I really wanted to try the square pizza but that is only served on Wednesday for dine in only. I will be back to try some other pizza options.

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.

Pizza galore with over 20+ types of pizza to choose from! There were so many pies to choose from!…read moreWhile the White Mushroom Truffle pizza and the Margharita pizza had some good flavor, it wasn't that fresh. My biggest pet peeve about NY style pizza places is that it's impossible to snag a hot slice out of the oven. When the pipping hot pizza is taken out of the oven, it's tucked under the display case. By the time the pizza pie is depleted from the display case, the hidden pizza gets cold as it's finally moved up. The cycle repeats itself...so you can never get a hot fresh slice of pizza. The Garlic Knots were hands-down the best part of my oil! I wish I could order a single knot as I didn't really want 3 knots. While the Chicken and Eggplant Parm are heavily promoted on flyers at the tables, I didn't see them on the menu, it would have been helpful to see before ordering. There's plenty of seating upstairs. Decent neighborhood spot to grab a slice of pizza.
