Come for the pizza, stay for the vibes! The back patio is spacious, warm and cozy in the winter. Great for large parties and/or hosting get togethers. I had a work goodbye party here and have attended other celebrations happy hours. They really load up on the toppings on the pizza. I got arugula & chili oil and it was like a salad and parts were pretty spicy. I like their pepperoni and mushroom pizza as well! Decent drink selection too and I love the big ice cream sandwiches. read more

Sonny's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Absolutely love this place. The pizza garden is one of the best-kept secrets of D.C. You have to go through a bar to get here. It has a hipster-y vibe. There will always be people no matter when you go. I've been here a few times and love the square pizza. It's also great that you can get pizza-by-the-slice and gluten-free pizzas, in addition to a whole rectangle pizza. I find the pizza sauce a bit sweeter than I'd like. I also do not like how they close at 9 p.m., which makes it harder for it to be a late-night chill spot. Wish they were open till 11. read more

It's different. Personal pizzas have become widespread, but here, the choice is between ordering by the slice (which costs a lot and doesn't give you topping choices) or getting a very large rectangular pizza. It says it serves 4-6, which I was a bit skeptical of, but I couldn't finish more than half of one hungry; with some apps you probably could feed four. When you look at it that way, it's not cheap but not crazy expensive either. I'm not sure what the style is, honestly; it's a square bready crust, but as crispy as Grandma or Detroit style pizzas I've tried. I got their one vegetarian specialty pizza, a Pesky Mario, with some trepidation because it had rapini and I'm not big on the cruciferous vegetables in general. Turns out I'm not a rapini fan. It is rather bitter, and boy was there a ton of it. I can't say they aren't generous with toppings, but in this case the mushroom and chili was hard to even taste. Lucky for them, I took advantage of their buy one get one half off and got a plain cheese pizza as well, which arrived with some pleasantly soft basil leaves. I liked that much better, and if I ordered from them again, I'd start with cheese and add a topping or two. I also got garlic knots, which were really pesto knots. Again, it just wasn't to my taste, really. The pesto was okay in combination with the tomato sauce on the side, but too bitter and tangy by itself. And the whole meal was overly salty, leaving me needing to drink quite a bit of water. I'm not anti-salt, but in excess it can be either a crutch for lack of flavor (not really true in this case) or just an overindulgence. I'd advise them to cut back a bit. A green salad with finely shaved radish was a nice touch; happy with that. The place was reasonably busy on a Sunday night. My carryout order was ready in pretty much exactly the 20 minutes they said it would be. It's not a special diet place; not vegan cheese or gluten-free crusts or anything, just straight pizza. My opinion of them comes out pretty mixed; given the plentiful pizza options these days, I'll probably try other places before coming back. read more

Sonny's is great! My group ordered a Caesar salad to share. It was a good amount of salad for 3 people and very delicious. We got a half-and-half pizza with the Pesky Mario and the Wolfie. I loved the Wolfie! It was a great combination of toppings and the crust was tasty. The Pesky Mario was good, but I probably would not get it again. The pizza was huge - definitely enough for 4 people to share. The outside area is super cute with long tables that are perfect for a group. Our server was very nice and accommodating. Everything was well priced as well. Would recommend for a fun pizza night with friends! read more

I thought the pizza was just awful. Admittedly I was unfamiliar with the type of pizza they offered but I didn't enjoy the taste. It was very messy and hard to eat. I like spicy food but it was too spicy. Probably should have ordered just the plain cheese. The lounge was nice and the service was good. read more

Their Arugula Pizza is to die for. They can get a little busy during dinner time, but service is good. There's a speakeasy bar area that's fun to sit in, and a beer garden outdoor. During the winter it's a little chilly but it's really nice in the summer times. Their Caesar salad is great too. read more

Very satisfied with Sonnys. It's a pizza spot serving up whole pies or pizzas by the slice. You are free to order ahead online or just stop in to order. We only tried the pepperoni, but it was great. Every inch of the slice was covered in pepperonis, the pepperoni coverage is probably the best I've ever seen. The slice is thicker than average but not quite deep dish, but with all the toppings, it is not too bready. They sell some local beers by the can and some pre-mixed cocktails to wash it all down. Top notch. read more

This is a very nice pizza place and the pizza was good, but the pizza was not hot, even right when it got to my table. It was lukewarm at most. It was also a bit hard to cut. The beer selection could be better, but they do have a few good beers. I kind of like it how the tip is already included in the bill, which is the way it should be around the United States, and the way that it already is in most countries. I also think that things were a bit overpriced here, but it was good overall. The staff were nice, too. The decor was pretty neat. read more

TLDR: came for the food, stayed for the waitstaff Just came here with my roommate and such a cute little family friendly but wild place! You must try the Golden Child Slushie (gin, vodka, vsop cognac, meyer lemon, orange) plus great deals on beer pitchers. Don't get me wrong the patio gets hot as heck during a hot summer day but not as hot as the cute as a button waitstaff. Especially our waiter the great guy with red hair and the other one who also made the experience memorable. For food we ordered the meatballs + ricotta, chicken parm, and the farro salad. Warning the farro salad is not a lettuce or greens based salad but yummy nonetheless. The chicken parm and the meatballs + ricotta came with a slice of focaccia, which was incredible, we even asked for more for the road. We came to Sonny's for the italian food and summer deals, but stayed for the memories and great moments with Sonny's staff. We could have ventured someplace with air conditioning, but we would have missed out on a great night of fun, music, vibes, and other patrons. I cannot emphasize enough how much we recommend spending a fun summer night at Sonny's! I cannot not emphasize enough our waiter (M, 21, shoulder length red hair, name rhymes with Moe) was a joy and a blessing. Please give this hole in the wall/hidden gem a chance because boy is it worth it. read more

Delicious pizza, great wine, perfect ambiance, family-friendly, great service, but a VEGAN TAX I love this restaurant but cannot understand why they double-charge customers for vegan cheese. The tomato pizza (no cheese) is $24. The cheese pizza (with mozzarella) is $28. Therefore, I can assume that mozzarella cheese is $4 of the cost of every pizza. If you add vegan cheese to the tomato pizza, it's an additional $8, for a total of $32. This is an incremental $4 for the vegan pizza vs. the mozzarella pizza. So if I want to order the Pesky Mario pizza (originally $32 with mozzarella) with vegan cheese, I would suspect that you would substitute the mozzarella ($4) for vegan cheese ($8) which would add an incremental +$4 for a total of $36. Instead, Sonny's charges you for the mozzarella cheese AND the vegan cheese, so the pizza costs $40 It's just basic arithmetic. Pretty disappointing. Really wish Sonny's would fix this. But again, pizza was phenomenal. Service was fantastic. The pizza garden is to die for read more

Hosted a Story Candles and Goods candle workshop here and it is such a cute space. Once you step out on the patio, you can envision all the ways the space can transform.

Loved the environment and ambiance. read more

Really big fan of this establishment. It is clear they take pride in their product with great ingredients. The different vibes between the indoor/outdoor backyard garden, the cocktail bar, and the front store pizza shop is very unique and fun. I also think the wine membership is fantastic. The coffee house Doubles next door is also very good with similar characteristics. I look forward to coming back to both establishments for a long time! read more

Excellent pizza and service. Highly recommend this place!!! In fact everything they serve is delicious. read more

I would come here to pick up some slices or a pie to share. Don't recommend the eggplant red sauce. It felt like this battered patty that was pretty dry and sad. Just get the pie. And do not recommend if you are coming to chat/convo w your friends (at least in the back). And i need to talk about this seating/service system: There are three sections(?) to eat for dine in. The front indoors is a nice diner vibe, the middle is a bar, the back is set up with many picnic tables lined up in this large roofed area w lights and a truck w drinks. We asked to sit in the back and were told they were full. We were told to wait 15-20 min and they would bring us to the back. They told us to go back but our menus didnt show up/didnt receive it. Then two waiters were saying two different things. This is only part of the story so I'll stop here. And little did we know the back is literally a cafeteria. It was crowded w so many ppl almost every table was taken, and there are so many, that it was hard to maneuver around and so loud we couldnt hear each other talk -- mind this was a weekend. read more

I came here basically every Friday when I used to live off Georgia Ave. It was so good and worth it. Not many places in the District I found that carried Allagash White. The staff are so attentive and friendly. It's so rare to find a business where the staff are genuinely happy to see customers. Now onto the food, their pizza is square slices which cook a little different than a traditional pie. The crust gets nice and crispy, as does the pepperoni on top. It's that nice traditional Naples style pizza with the sauce on top and cheese underneath. Since covid I know that they've been doing curbside pick up for drinks and selling meal kits. I just did a few drinks to go once. And now I saw that their back deck and pizza garden are open. That is a really cool spot to hang out with a Pesky Mario style Pizza and the converted camper in the back to buy drinks from if No Kisses isn't open for a cocktail. All in all we need to support this business to make sure they survive covid because their one of the best. read more

Never had pizza ruin my night before but, Sonny's managed to do that. Ordered a pizza with Pepperoni. Came with sauce pepperoni and basil. No cheese. What is that? Something like this should be a special order item. For example, I would like a pizza with pepperoni only. No cheese. Otherwise unsuspecting people will be receiving pizza without cheese and leaving bad reviews. read more

Decided to check out Sonny's on a Sunday night for dinner with friends and was pleasantly surprised at how great the food and service was. Our cashier (I think his name was Elias) was so inviting and extremely helpful with recommending items on the menu. He explained how the pizzas and sandwiches are made fresh using ingredients of the highest quality. I was really hungry, so I decided on the "eggplant parm sandwich" which is HUGE and the perfect combination of textures and flavors. Thin slices of crunchy, fried eggplant layered one on top of the other with flavorful tomato sauce & melted mozzarella cheese in between two pieces of toasted focaccia bread. The focaccia bread has sesame seeds on top which added great flavor-- very unique! During the dinner, our cashier came to check on us and asked how we were enjoying the food. Excellent service! I will definitely be back for the amazing eggplant parm sandwich! read more

Delicious! Originally from NJ, I'm a thin crust guy. But this pizza is awesome. Thicker crust - think school lunch or Ellio's - except WAY better and still super crunchy. Another tell tale sign of good pizza: tiny curled up crispy pepperoni. That's the only way it should be. Those floppy flat lifeless pepperonis - get 'em outta here! Add some solid beers, great service, and an awesome, homey, Italian-focused atmosphere - you can't go wrong. Highly recommend this spot. read more

We ordered two pizzas for delivery and were extremely disappointed with the quality. We live only about half a mile from the location (maybe a little less), but the pizzas were room temp by the time they arrived. They were soggy AND burned on the bottom, which was a weird combination. The dough was almost like focaccia -- doughy and kind of wet from the sauce. My husband, who loves almost any pizza, opted to throw out almost 3/4 of each pizza because we couldn't bring ourselves to eat more than one slice. read more

Sonny's, no kisses, and colony club make up the perfect little trifecta on Georgia ave. PIzza for when you're hungry, cocktails for when you're thirsty, and coffee for when you're in need of a pick me up. You could spend an entire day here and never have to leave. Now on to Sonny's. I enjoy their pizza. The variety is pretty good and I enjoy the flat crust. The best part about Sonny's, however, is their back patio. It is the perfect spot to hang out on a sunny weekend day. The large picnic tables are perfect for big groups, though you may struggle to find a spot during peak hours. Finally, the bar in the back is super convenient and cute! read more

Sonny's is awesome. Great ambience, fun menu, friendly and attentive service. The one weakness: the pizza can be too salty (probably because it's dusted with a bit too much parmesan) and the salads are a little overdressed. Dial back the salt and the dressing and we're talking 5 stars. read more

I came here with Pizza Club DC and this review is based on survey results from the whole group. We frequently visit pizza spots around the city, and rate establishments based on overall experience, service, pizza/crust quality, and general personality of each spot. Our meetup at Sonny's was wonderful on all fronts. 60% said their favorite pizza was The Wolfie (pepperoni, onions, roasted peppers) 40% said their favorite pizza was The Don (salami, arugula, mozzarella) Also don't sleep on the meatballs!!! We really wanted to meet the man behind the recipes, Ben, but he was mysterious and probably busy making pies. Max and Cody took the time to explain the story of Sonny's, their pizza garden, and the vintage Citroen van where you can order food & drinks mmmmm. "Perfect patio atmosphere. Tasty pies. Cool owners. Would 100% return." "An old school 'za oasis in the middle of the city" "Sonny's pizza was the perfect mix of great pizza, good people and warm atmosphere." "Delightful and delicious" Follow us at @pizzaclubdc for more pie news! read more

Food: 3 star pizza Service: 5 star staff Atmosphere: 5 star back patio and cool set up So the food unfortunately was a little disappointing - crust was good, sauce was light, cheese had a marshmallow puff texture to it. That being said I will go back and try the sandwiches. Chicken Parm and Italian looked delicious. The back patio was great on a sunny day. The no kisses bar that you have to walk through to get there had a good music and a cool vibe. read more

This is my first time visiting Sonny's pizza. The atmosphere is kind of nice. The restaurant is small and it looks like a fun place to grab a quick bite. There are more employees than customers in the restaurant... (a tell tell sign) The pizza is just "blah" or "okay". I think Sonny's pizza missed the mark on making a great pizza. The crust is too dense and hard/dry. The sauce tastes pretty good... I only wish the pizza wasn't dry. It is hard to think about a second visit, especially since there are really great pizza spots close by. Hopefully, the management will try to improve the crust recipe because it was a chore trying to chew the pizza. What comes to mind about Sonny's pizza is the pizza that you will get during an elementary school lunch. read more

For starters, the staff just sat there while this Millenial took an entire booth to herself. By her self! A whole booth! One person! Families need not apply apparently. And the beer selection is embarrassing. For a pizza place and for DC. Wow. Load up on the draft list, brau. But the pizza, although super duper pricey, is good. Plain and simple. Real good. Happy to change my stars if service and draft select improves. read more

Treated ourselves to Friday happy hour on the back patio. We were so pleasantly surprised by how spacious and comfortable atmosphere. Our server was very genial and our food and drinks came out quickly. My dining date got a cocktail that was smokey, a slow sipper. I enjoyed an Aslin IPA beer on tap. We got the tomato pie and added arugula to it. I liked the softer chewy crust and the sweet sort of tomato paste sauce. They also did not skimp on the greens! However, the menu said it had basil and we couldn't taste or see it.. same with the garlic. I do wish that they had vegan cheese so we could have gotten the pizza that felt a little bit more like a pizza. Full pie is definitely enough for two to three people. read more

I tried Sonny's for the first time and wow was I disappointed! First of all, they have slices and pies for way too much money. A slice is 4" x 5" and $4 something each. The medium size pizza that's 11" x 16" was $30! Two 12 ounce beers and medium pizza was $46! The pizza. I always say, "you have to try it to know that you hate it." And boy did I hate it. It's on this pre baked (guessing) focaccia crust. It's hard and crunchy, and my mouth still hurts from eating it. Kinda like when you eat peanut butter cap n crunch. The edges of the pizza were black, along with the edges of the pepperoni, leaving a burnt taste in your mouth as well. They have bins to bus your own plates. If I'm spending almost $50 in your establishment I'm not bussing my own plates. The atmosphere kind of reminded me of right proper, but right proper has delicious, affordable food, so that's the only similarity. Maybe they'll improve, but I'm not holding my breath. Oh, they only have beer and wine read more

Not your "  traditional " pizza. Kinda disappointed.. We ordered some garlic knots as an appetizer and a full pie. After waiting for 20 minutes (the place was busy so it's ok) we got our garlic knots which were just not good.. The outside was very oily and the inside was kinda dry and chewy. Maybe they had been sitting around for a while before being served? I don't know but it simply just wasn't good. Then the pie. The sauce and the topping were good and tasted fresh! Just whish it had more cheese on it. But the dough was a bit odd. Tasted fine but it was very dense, not soft at all and almost had a grilled toast texture (picture). I would say it was almost like a slice of dense sourdough bread but a bit too oily and bit hard.. The total was around $40, which was not cheap! If you're looking for a regular pizza place, then I recommend you go somewhere else. read more

Sonny's seems like an extremely cute and quaint place, but I find I run into more problems when I go then I should. It's a simple pizza, wine, and a few other Italian dishes spot. I find that every time I come here that the service is rude and I feel like a "burden" as a customer. The food is just okay and I would say it's pretty expensive for the experience of being there. Overall, I'm pretty good not coming back. read more

Pizza. Great. I love this kind of foccaica type Sicilian pizza. Meatballs and ricotta, delicious. Downside. Garlic knots. I was waiting for them to ask me how the food was but they didn't. I was at the table bar too. It was dried and hard as rocks. Maybe been sitting out too long. That was the only bummer read more

We live in Petworth and wanted to support a local pizza chain. We've ordered here before, and liked Sonny's. Can't really explain what happened to them tonight. We ordered pizza from Sonny's through Uber Eats, and after waiting over an hour and a half, our order was just canceled inexplicably, and we got a notice through the ap that "Sonny's could not complete your order". Really? We ordered at around 6:45 PM and got this notice at 8:20 PM. Wish I could say we'll give them another chance, but we won't. Terrible service. read more

Wasn't too thrilled with this pizza. I had such high hopes for Sicilian style pizza in the area however it wasn't as good as I hoped.

Nice addition to the area that desperately needs more food options. I would recommend this place because my friends enjoyed the pizza! read more

Nice little pizza spot with a cool bar and outdoor patio attached. I wasn't too sure what to expect upon coming here but the wife brought me here without knowing where we were headed. We both left pretty satisfied and was surprised to see how large the full pies were. We ordered a full pie (I believe it was the Pesky Mario with pepperoni added) and found it to be nice and flavorful. As mentioned in a few other reviews, the crust is on the crispier side. Normally not my preference but I certainly thought it was good and still soft enough to enjoy. Due to the size of the pizza, we were able to take the second half home to enjoy the next day--and let me tell you, the pizza was still just as good reheated in the oven. Coming from someone who prefers Neapolitan style pizza, I can say that Sonny's has tasty and interesting pies and that I'd definitely stop by to try them again. read more

Best pizza in DC in my not-so-humble opinion. I lived in NYC for 10 years and grew up visiting family in Chicago, so I think I can legitimately say I have expertise in pizza! We got pizza with red onions and arugula. The sauce, the crust, the ingredients were all fresh and delicious. I am definitely coming back. My only complaint was we sat on the back patio and the sound was deafening. I would never sit out there again. It wasn't even that crowded but something about the acoustics seemed to make it very loud. read more
