Pizza is delicious and I usually have a good experience at this place in any location. Unfortunately, the wait time when I visited the Crystal City location this week pretty much overshadowed the experience. Granted, we came in around lunchtime (12pm), but we waited 30 minutes for 4 slices of pizza. Everyone who came in after us received their order before us. It was pretty frustrating especially when you have a time crunch during lunch hour. When we told the worker who was stationed at the oven, he said that the order must have accidentally gotten deleted. When we told him, he voided our payment and gave us the meal for free. And, he brought over the pizzas to our table personally when they were ready. We really appreciated the customer service! Also - if you like mushrooms, order the forest shroomin' pie, it's incredible. read more

PIzza by the slice! My husband and I tried the Forest Shroomin' pie, Fresh buffalo mozz & roasted tomato pie, and cajun chicken & andouille pizza. All were delicious. The man helping me gave me extra large slices for little ol' me and heated them so they were pipping hot when I got them (some were warmer than others). He was incredibly nice for how long I was taking to decide on 3 slices of pizzas.... My favorite was potentially the forest shroomin' pie - it was garlicky and good. the fresh buff mozz was probably my second favorite. I felt like the cajun chicken & andouille had good flavor but was kind of dry... probably because it had to be reheated. The positive thing is, I like my pizza crust extra crisp so the pizza reheating isn't a problem for me. It took me a while to select my pizzas so some of my slices weren't as warm as the others... I thought they would have staggered giving me the slices just in case for that reason. The home brewed beer could be passed on, overall pretty good. There is seating area inside of the building and right outside of the pizza parlor (it's connected to a mall). People don't lounge so it's easy to find seats. You can also order pizzas by the pie instead of individual slices. Unfortunately I live too far that I won't ever be able to do a fresh carry out... read more

We, The Pizza - 3 extra large slices! - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Great selection of NY-Style pizza at a good price. Pizza by the slice or by the whole pie. Large servings cut from extra large pies cooked in authentic pizza ovens. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available at this location conveniently located on Crystal Dr. a short walk from the Crystal City metro, accessible through the Crystal underground. The only negative was the cleanliness of the dining area and that the staff apparently didn't routinely bus the table, clean the soda area or sweep the floors. read more

See all

I picked this based on Yelp reviews since it was in walking distance of my hotel. It was okay. They had a good pizza selection; I chose a slice of white pizza and a garden side salad. The crust was nice and chewy, but it definitely did not taste fresh. It had gobs of fresh ricotta dropped on top were divine but there were only a few on the broad piece. The salad bowl struck me as small but it ended up being quite good in lettuce variety. Good dressing, too. My husband had two slices of all meat pizza and he agreed with my assessment: the crust tasted reheated but it was still good, if slightly tough. Not bad, but not spectacular, either. It'd probably be awesome if you were buying a fresh whole pizza. read more

I have been here twice, both were Friday nights on the late end. I went with a small group both times ordering slices to eat there. I do not know if it is because we went later but the place could use some cleanup. Dirty tables that had not been cleaned off ect. but usually not a massive deal for a casual counter service restaurant. Service seems to be pretty good. I never had to wait to long to order or get my slices. They did mix up my order the first time but they quickly fixed it. All employees have been nice. The pizza is a thick crust so if you like thin this is not the place for you. We all got different slices and some seemed to be great and others just OK. The white pizza is delicious and the pepperoni is solid. Some of their other pizzas seem to be inconsistent with toppings (like the Mexican pepper only having one piece of chicken on it.) Overall decent pizza. If I happened to be in the area and really want pizza I would stop by but I would definitely not go out of my way for it. read more

This review is for the U Street location. The pizza is delicious. One of the best tasting pizzas in DC. Delivery is horrible. My pizza arrived cold and like the photo attached. I live a block from the restaurant but it took the delivery person 30 minutes to deliver my order from the time he left the restaurant. Employees should look professional. Not with their pants down to the knees and underwear showing. read more

We, The Pizza - Pizza delivered like this. - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I've had Delicious pizza from here and just OK pizza from here. First time we had the Artisanal cheese and it was super yummy. Second time we ordered pizza we wanted half cheese and half pepperoni and some other toppings. The pizza came to us completely wrong (Uber eats order). I don't think it was the wrong persons order because it was still half and half. More like someone wasn't paying attention. I can't say I recommend this pizza if you are ordering it. But if you go in I'm sure if there are any problems you can correct it easily. read more

SUCH A GOOD SPOT! ordered pizza for the office and we were all so happy with it. Got hawaiian, white sauce, meat lovers, and veggie and were super content with it all. We are looking for an excuse to order from here again because of how great it was! The flavors were all so good and the pizza was the perfect amount of saucy. The meats were cooked to perfection. 10/10 would recommend and would definitely go back read more

The Greek pizza was good. Quick delivery to the Garden Inn right next door. So far the best pizza I've had in the Crystal City area.

I've had We, The Pizza atleast 8-10 times at this point and it has been excellent everytime. One of the best, by the slice, places around here. Wish the crust was smaller or less dry but otherwise great! read more

I had been dairy-free for over a year, and when I decided it was time to eat real cheese again, I decided on We, The Pizza. The pizza was so so so good. I highly recommend the sausage and roasted red peppers. read more

I have tried these Spike M places in Crystal City around Ten (10) times now. "We The Pizza" is not as terrible as "Good Stuff Eatery" but it is basically soggy pizza in a setting well suited to suburban Ohio. Go to "Bozelli's" nearby for real pizza. For real burgers and onions rings that are not grease soaked nastiness cook yourself. Crystal City at least has Jeff Bezos on the way, maybe he can give Spike M a billion bucks to leave. read more

The specialty pizzas are great! I tried the ultimate cheese, the mushroom, pineapple ham and the white pie. They have all tasted fresh and delicious! My go-to is always the ultimate cheese, the herb drizzle is a welcomed update to a classic. Their homemade lychee soda is also very tasty. read more

As a general rule, the first time you go to a restaurant, you stick with the basics before getting adventurous. This holds especially true for pizza shops. I got into DC late on a Sunday and decided We, The Pizza was a good bet for a quick solo dinner. I got a slice of the basic cheese and one of their pepperoni. The slices of pizza were rather generous, roughly in a New York thin crust style.The cheese was good quality. The amount of sauce was to my liking, if a touch bland. But the best characteristic of these pies is the crust. It's crispy, it's chewy, it's not flaccid as some New York style crust can be when undercooked. To top it off, the employees were very friendly. I'll be back someday and looking forward to being a little more adventurous. read more

This post is not about the food but it's solely about the garbage service. I walked in nobody greeted me and I stood at the counter for 5 mins while 3 employees stood there texting in their phones and talking in Spanish and playing around. After being ignored I finally got the attention of a young Hispanic guy that says he was the manager and he took my order but didn't seem interested in serving me. The food is Awesome!!!!!!! Woo hoo and that's why you got the 2 star rating Hire better people that care about their guest! Go anywhere else but here! read more

Great lunch option in Crystal City. The pizza is hot and fresh and it's so much better than your average slice. Service is quick. My only tiny tiny complaint is that I only order a single slice (whereas most people order at least two) and since the sizes can kind of vary, my single slice is sometimes huge and sometimes kind of wimpy. I wish the guy warming the pizza would select a bigger slice if someone is ordering just one. $4 isn't cheap for a slice so you want to get your money's worth ;) Overall though, big fan. Definitely my favorite place for lunch in the area. read more

Went back to We the Pizza tonight. Service was great! Super friendly staff members, quick attention when we walked through the door, and the food came out so quickly!! Honestly really impressed with the service, and the pizza was fantastic again :) highly recommend if you're looking for a slice in the Crystal City area. read more

Fantastic experience. Best pizza, service and dinner ever. After a long day of site seeing, walking 7 miles, I feel much better after our meal. Thanks for such a wonderful experience. T&D read more

We, The Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Came here later in the evening for a quick bite after a long day. The white pizza is awesome! Super cheesy and smooth taste. The buffalo chicken pizza was also very good! Just enough bite and already had blue cheese baked right on. The basic cheese pizza was devoured by the kids, so I can only assume it was good, but they're kids and it's pizza... Oh, and they serve beer (!!) and sangria! read more

We go to We, The Pizza probably once a month. In my opinion, their pizza is the best in the local area. The slices are big, and the toppings ratio has always been good. The salads can be hit or miss in terms of freshness, but that's been more since Covid, and I'm sure it's been harder to stock fresh ingredients like that. They're usually fast for takeout. read more

I was staying at nearby hotel and didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for hotel food. Choosing this place was a smart decision because the pizza was the bomb!! It's nothing like a spot who knows how to make good pizza. Pros: 1. It was delicious. 2. It was delivered quickly. 3. Online ordering system was easy to use. Cons: 1. None read more

Visiting from Michigan, got in late and needed both dinner and to stretch my legs. I decided that i wanted pizza and this was Scott a block away from my hotel. I ordered my basic pizza - ham, mushroom and onion. It was a pretty damn good, basic pizza. No fancy truffles, or exotic ingredients. The crust was basic pizza crust - nice crusty bottom and edges. If you're looking for gourmet pizza, this ain't it. If you're looking for a good pie, this is the place. Unfortunately, i didn't see the custom sodas until after i'd gotten there and had already paid for my coke. If I get back here, I'll try one. They did look good. read more

Ordered the ham and pineapple pizza with the farmers salad. Way too salty but delicious.. pretty sure they use msg in their pizzas as I woke up 2-3 times during the night dying of thirst-same reaction I get when eating late night instant ramen. Probably won't come back again because of the saltiness though... read more

This is a really good restaurant for gourmet pizza - very large slices with plentiful toppings and a good variety of choices, including several types of slices available that are vegetarian friendly. Service is usually good (you order at the counter and get a buzzer to return when your food is ready), and if you opt for delivery in the area it is usually pretty fast. In addition to the pizzas, we also like the Greek salad (there is some potato salad at the bottom, which is an interesting twist to it). They also have homemade sodas, which are a nice touch. The prices are not cheap for whole pies, but they often have specials if you opt to be on the email list. They have limited seating in the restaurant, but also have a few tables outside and a lot of seating in the hall by the shop - so they can easily accommodate large groups. It is also worth noting that garage parking is free in Crystal City in the evening, so it is a good place to grab a quick dinner without the stress of finding parking. One item of particular note is the effort the owner takes in ensuring customers are satisfied. We had a couple of slightly off experiences followed by a very bad one and left that information in a review. David reached out to me and went above and beyond to make things right. When we returned to give them another try, the problem areas noted were all corrected. I have not found such responsiveness to concerns at many establishments in the area, so that earned my respect. read more

As a New Yorker, I can confirm that this is not New York pizza, but it does not profess to be. I have lowered expectations for pizza in the DMV-area, but if I do get a slice, it is usually from here. They have many offerings and I really like their white slice (ricotta and mozzarella) and their mushroom slice. My go-to is their lunch special- a slice and a small salad for under $10. Their farm salad is quite good and I like their housemade dressing. My office usually orders from here so I have tried most of their offerings. My only complaint would be that their slices can be greasy sometimes and I need to blot with paper towels. read more

Happened upon this new location after a meh experience at the Crystal City McCormick & Schmick's . So happy "We, The Pizza" was giving away free slices during their soft opening! I have always been a fan of Spike Mendelsohn, from Top Chef fame, and I think this place is worth the visit. Because: 1. The staff is on point 2. The food is fresh 3. The crust is scrumptious And Crystal City is such a beautiful place to visit. Make this a destination! read more

I have been eagerly awaiting my chance to try We, The Pizza for awhile now. I'm rarely in Crystal City and when I am, I usually want to go to Spike Mendelsohn's other restaurant Good Stuff Eatery. However, I was convinced to go to We, The Pizza and I am glad that we did. We, The Pizza has lots of different pizzas to choose from. They are pre-made but baked fresh to order. I think I was little eager when I ordered but chose two slices (they're pretty big). I ordered the Spinach Artichoke and White Pizza. My fiance ordered the Pepperoni Sausage. They baked pretty quickly and less than 10 minutes we were enjoying our pizza.Warm cheesy goodness, great flavors, fresh toppings. Seriously, how could I go wrong? The slices are a little more expensive than you're average slice of pizza but they're worth it. If you're not in the mood for pizza, they also have wings and salads. Also, to show how creative and awesome the chef is, they make their own sodas too. I didn't get any this time but I definitely want to. The flavors are funky and look delicious. Great place for pizza when you're in Crystal City! Jealous of the folks who can get it on the regular. read more

This place is just gross. Terrible pizza, salads, and homemade sodas. Just gross. Do yourself a favor and just buy a DiGiorno. I've given this place 2 chances and both times I walked away disappointed and mad at the fact that I gave them my money that they didn't deserve. read more

Great pizza and probably the closest you can get to NY style. Got the buffalo and pepperoni which were both delicious. Very friendly on the phone as well! read more

I tend to be slow at writing reviews, but this one is being written in record time (for me). I just walked back home from We, The Pizza, and am still debating whether I should walk back and get a 2nd slice. Should I?! Should I?! definitely regret only ordering one slice. I ordered one slice of the pepperoni pizza. First, I'm pretty sure that the pepperoni covered about 90% of my pizza, which is a good sign. Second, the pizza crust and pepperoni was nice and crispy, just the way I like it. The oregano was also a nice touch. I think the place just opened up today, and I was the only one eating in there when I walked in, so I got my pizza super quick. There is a sign outside that says "Staff in Training. Please be Nice" or something like that (probably shouldn't have put that in quotes). The cash registers did seem to be a little out of whack. The cashier told me the correct total, but it did not match up with the electronic screen on the cash register. In any case, I plan to come back, though it will take all the self control I have to not come back too often. I really wish pizza was good for you! read more

Awesome pizza. $4 a slice is pricey, so after you know what you like, you might as well just get a whole pie for $20. Their handmade sodas are a must try! read more

We The Pizza was our last food adventure while in D.C last weekend. It came highly recommend by another Floridian as the best pizza there is and boy was she right! All of the pizzas in the windows looked amazing. I opted for a slice of cheese and a slice of the seasonal butternut squash pizza. I was skeptical about the butternut squash but it had goat cheese and balsamic glaze on it which just so happens to be my two favorite ingredients so I thought I would give it a whirl. The pizza came out piping hot and was absolutely amazing. The crust was thin and crispy. The butternut squash pizza was AMAZING and probably one of the better slices I have ever tried. I had a bite of my husband buffalo chicken slice & a friend's BBQ chicken slice which were also amazing. I was very happy with our last dining choice and would definitely go back again! read more

Well - its a pretty average pizza joint. I don't find anything about the pizza that stands out. I've been here twice now and ordered the spinach and artichoke pizza - pretty basic, the bread is OK and the toppings are nothing too exciting. I am not sure about the other pizzas but they pretty much all look similar. I also found the prices OK - its about what you may expect for a single slice. Its a great location - right in the middle of the Crystal City action. The place itself is not bad - not a huge amount of seating but you can always sit outside across the street (public areas to sit). As I am writing this, they are still waiting for their liquor license - they advertise very cold beer which could be a nice value-add. read more

This place is like a very expensive version of a mall Sbarro's. At least when you leave a Sbarro's, it didn't set you back $15 for crappy pizza. The two slices I had tasted burned and like they had been reheated in a microwave. The pie tasted like what you get from the deli counter at Walmart. Save you time and money and avoid this place. read more

Pizzas are hit or miss. The crust is usually pretty good. Some toppings like the mushroom pie are tasty (thyme's a nice touch). Others like ones with chicken have dry & rubbery chunks on top. The BBQ one is painfully salty. The special sodas are nothing fantastic. They're brutally slow. Snotty and confused with no sense of urgency. Lots of people back there but not a lot being done. And all they're doing is reheating--not even cooking fresh. If there are more than 3 people in line, don't bother. But if you go after 1, the crusts are rubbery and the toppings are dry. So I'm not sure when one is supposed to go... For the money, it's just not worth it. read more

Avoid for your own good... Today, I went with my daughter for a slice, as it was just down the street from our house and she wanted pizza. The sad item is that I talked her out of ordering from Domino's Pizza to try this place. The location is well-staffed but only numerically not service wise. Then there is the gentleman with his pants around his ankles (fashion statement I am certain but poor health issues) and who wants food from a man that is showing off his underwear, in NYC they call that mentally ill. Second is the pricing, which is too high for a mediocre place; for two average size slices (same as a chain stores) and one drink was $12. I ordered the BBQ pizza and my daughter the White both were ok but nothing like what one would expect from a speciality shop. I feel it was a frozen crust with thawed toppings -- there was no STYLE to the favor. All for all, I miss the Caribou Coffee shop that it replaced but my hope is that whatever replaces, We the Pizza, will be a nice family shop (it is not a matter of if something will replace them, it is only a matter of when). This place will survive a year maybe 18 months if they do not improve. read more

I stop by here for lunch at least once a week. I always order two slices and usually end up taking one home for dinner. The buffalo chicken and the pineapple and ham slices are my favorites. The service is fast for take-away, the prices are very reasonable, and the slices are huge. read more

Spike Mendelsohn's DC metro market-penetration isn't slowing down a bit. This is definitely better than Good Stuff by a mile, and better than I would have expected given the general lack of anything other than mediocre pizza round these parts. This pizza is pretty outstanding. We like the capitol supreme and BF likes the sicilian. I love that the mushrooms are sauteed, which is an extra-flavorful touch. Topping ratio is good, sauce has good balance, cheese seems high-quality. Not too salty, not too greasy, very large slices. If I had any quibbles it would be that the crust can be too wide in proportion to the slice size, and if you are a knife-and-fork pizza eater like me, the crust can be a bit tough to saw through even with a steak knife, which means the dough is probably being over-worked at times. You know what else is a HUGE winner? The wings, particularly the BBQ. OMFG they are the best wings I have ever had, and I'm not a huge fan of wings. They are big and juicy and the sauce has a perfect sweet smoky flavor with some actual herb, which is a great departure from the usual. It's true that the pizza isn't cheap. But, let me put it into a bit of perspective. A couple wks ago, true story, we were deciding between Domino's (which, we can all admit, has improved astronomically in the last couple yrs) delivery and WTP take-out, since we live like .5 mi out of the delivery area. I like Domino's pacific veggie (which has 4 regular toppings and 4 cheeses the way I order it), and a 14-in large is $17--at the self-professed home of cheap-ass pizza. WTP's capitol supreme is $18 for a 14-in medium, $20 for a 16-in large. Yes, head to head, the pacific veggie has more toppings so is arguably a better value to some degree, but it's not as high-quality as WTP and the prices for these 2 particular pizzas I like are pretty similar. The wings are also more expensive at WTP compared to Domino's, if you'd like to complete the comparison, with like $.80/wing at Domino's, and like $1.20/wing at WTP, but the WTP are largely and unquestionably better quality, so you get what you pay for. We ended up at WTP that day and it was a delicious decision. It's a fab addition to the local food scene. If only they delivered .5 mi further! read more

THE SCENE: Friday evening at 7pm- very busy. A lot of people in line and all tables the tables (three or four I believe tops) full. Three of us entered- two of us left. WHY? Let's slice into it and discuss: If you walk in from the Crystal Drive side of the street, it is a bit confusing to first see pizza sitting on display. Only a moment to come to the conclusion you are not yet in line. After looking at the interesting choices, my first friend dashed his way to the stanchions and ordered two slices, paid, got a buzzer, stepped out of line. Next, my other friend ordered two slices, an entire White Pizza with Chicken, paid, got buzzer, stepped out of line. My turn to order two slices - no more pepperoni. WHAT? Did I hear that right? NO MORE PEPPERONI? While I was having to reselect, a giant Pepperoni pizza comes rolling out of the oven. 'SHE of the register' asks, "OK, what did you want again?" I quickly ordered my Pepperoni and the interesting Ham/Pineapple creation, paid, got a buzzer and stepped out of line. Heated or Not? No one asked! Now we're crowding in the rather tiny area next to the ropes and crashing on the people at the tables. Ambiance- doesn't really exist. We watch two guys making pizzas on the side as they pummel the dough and then use a funky looking spiked roller to punch holes into the crust. INTERESTING.... NO one making wings. We asked about the wings on the menu. "In the back" Pizza Guy Number ONE yells, over the loud music, too loud to ask if it was possible to try the sauces to see if they're tasty enough to order wings. First buzzer off. Slices in hand. Second buzzer off - counter guy who seems to be the manager but its hard to tell, hands my other friend two slices and says he's good to go. NOT SO FAST PAL - where's my pizza - the WHOLE pizza? WHAT??? Counter guy is perplexed. Friend shows the receipt - see here, pointing. OH, we didn't make it yet. HUH? That's right, they handed his slices before making the entire pizza - that's gonna be a wait. NO TIME GIVEN. SOOO not customer friendly. My buzzer goes off, get my slices, and I'm ready to go. As we exit the tiny storefront, we look to our friend - slice box in hand, looking sad. Our hungry and waiting friend STANDS 20 MINUTES to get his pizza. No one offers to give him new, hot slices. No one offers him a drink or even a wing or sauce to try. He is bummed. Someone asks if he is ok. NO he isn't. HE WANTS HIS PIZZA!! He observes pizza after pizza coming out and into the hotboxes under the counters. Where is his pizza, he wonders. He notices three other customers just like him waiting for their whole pizzas. All of them holding now cold slices in boxes. All of them having to point out that they had not received their full order and were told to wait. By the time he gets his pizza (total time 26 minutes) and then travels home, (another 30 minutes in the car teased by the aroma) our friend is greeted by our texts boasting about how yummy we thought our food was. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) Traffic flow problems would seem to be solved with some basic traffic flow information. Its called an arrow- "THIS WAY to Great Food!" 2) If its going to take 20 minutes to make a special order pizza SAY SO. OUR time is just as important as yours is. PUT IT ON THE SIGN!!! WE WILL CALL AHEAD NEXT TIME!!!! 3) WINGS: How about offering a 'taster flight' of sauces to try? We'd probably even pay a nominal price for it, the sauces seem exotic enough, and without knowing what the sauces taste like, we're less inclined to order wings we would HATE. BTW: You totally lost a possible sale and repeat customer for that alone. 4) SCHEDULE the shift to ensure you have the right mix of pizzas in the right quantity of what people want. NO one should ever hear "NO PEPPERONI" - ever! By now you should have enough data to review the demand for certain pizzas at certain times on certain days. If you don't know how to work that point of sale system, I'm sure a night of 'Bar Rescue' reruns will clue you in on the fact that magic box has great insight and information inside of it. Get the manual, figure it out. 5) A SALE ISN'T FINAL until EVERY THING ON THE ORDER IS DELIVERED. If you were a waiter, we'd be docking your tip! Deliver HOT slices and HOT FULL ORDER PIZZA(s) and/or WINGS together everything at the same time. THEN and only then is it a final order. 6) HOW LONG are those pizzas sitting for? DISPLAY the freshness with a timer! If the pizzas have been out 20 minutes, then you reheat them for us as take out, what are they going to taste like when we get them home? REHEAT instructions are NOT printed on the box! Tell me what to do so I don't ruin them. Solve that with a sticker. Easy. Put LAST: BE NICE - say thank you (and mean it!) when I spend my hard earned dough on your 'za. FINAL THOUGHTS: Common sense not on the menu. Decent pizza is. read more

I've heard so many great things about this place so I've been excited to finally try it. But I must say, I was pretty disappointed when I went last night. My husband and I ordered a large shroomin pizza online and was told it would be about 20 mins before it was ready. Totally reasonable. So we walked over there after about 20 mins and ended up waiting an additional 30 mins while were there waiting on our pizza!! People were coming and going faster than us and we had pre ordered! How is that even possible. When we first got there the guy told us 2-3 mins wait that it was in the oven. After waiting 15 mins and still not getting our pizza, I asked again and the guy told me it was just going in the oven as they were backed up. Really??!! Then I saw a large shroomin pizza come out just as an extra, for the pizza by the slice sales, and asked if they could just give us that one since it has been an hour since I first ordered the pizza, at this point. The counter guy went and talked to his manager about and all of a sudden my pizza was already boxed and just sitting there. Funny how that happened. Luckily it was still warm. I understand they're new and need to work out some kinks, but that's just unacceptable to me. And I didn't get any kind of discount for the inconvenience. As far as the pizza, it was good but had a little bit too much truffle oil on it. But that doesn't surprise me.. I feel like it's all the craze right now and sometimes people over do it on things. It such a strong flavor you really don't need much of it. I'd be willing to try this place again but will in NO WAY be rushing back anytime soon. There are much better pizza places around me that I will go to first. read more
