    This pizza shop rocks! We were in town visiting and were looking for a quick bite to eat in between tours and this pizza shop knocked it out of the park. The customer service, variety of pizzas, taste, presentation, cleanliness, customer service, and super friendly vibes made our experience awesome. I wish we had this pizza shop where we live in SoCal.

    Lunch!

    One of my favorite pizza places to visit in the DC area is this spot. This is one of those places where you have to recommend a delicious pizza for people to try on their next visit. I like the option for late hours, as it is a must for me since I like to eat pizza at any time of day, lol. The service is quick and easy. Before I forget, check out their lunch special: two slices of pizza and a drink, or choose the one you prefer.

    This place is part of a small local chain of pizza joint. This restaurant has a decent sized patio area on the sidewalk out front and a very small dining area. The dining area is a bit disheveled with boxes and drinks stacked all over. The staff there was nice, but I will admit my interaction with them was limited. There is metered parking in front of the restaurant and within a reasonable walking distance. I placed my order online and was able to find a coupon that gave me a few dollars off my order. In addition to pizza, they have salads, stromboli, rollers and desserts. I ordered a slice of pepperoni, a slice of Il Capo, and a slice of Korean Chicken. My order was not ready when I got there, but I did noit have to wait to long. My pizza was good. It was not the best I have had but it was good. It is similar to New York style (but much less grease) and the slices were decent sized. If you are looking to put some pizza in your life, you should definitely consider checking this place out.

    Triple Pepperoni
    Courtney W.

    TLDR; good pizza with lots of unique flavors. Decent portion for the price but taste is middle of the road. Not bad but not great. We did takeout. The online ordering experience was easy to navigate and our pizza was done quickly. We ordered: Triple pepperoni - a great pizza if you like lots of pepperoni on your slice. I was worried about it being too much but the ratio was just right. Good flavor but a lot like a traditional pepperoni pizza whereas I was expecting it to have a unique taste. Chicken bacon ranch - excellent taste but far too dry. Pizza needed more sauce and/or ranch. Overall good pizza but unsure if I would come back.

    I won't go on Sundays anymore. Pizza has been burnt at the bottom a few times. I haven't experienced it on weekdays.

    I came to Wiseguy Pizza with a group of friends. For a pizzeria, it was pretty spacious and allowed for dining in at tables or counters. I appreciated the various and unique selections they offered. I went with the Mushroom Truffle because I love white pizza, and the Nashville Hot Chicken because it was unique. Both pizzas came out fairly fast, and I enjoyed the flavors and crispness of each slice.

    Pizza was very good. They are large slices at a decent price. They have many different types to choose from.

    First time here and it's not my number 1 choice. I prefer my pizza made to order. The pizza was fine, the place was busy during lunch with limited seating.

    Grandma Slice, Paneer Tikka Slice
    Angela S.

    If you're looking for a quick bite of pizza this is the place to go. My favorite slice was the Grandma slice. Wasn't a huge fan of their other specialty slices, however their pepperoni slice was a well done classic! Their crust and sauce were the highlights of all the pizzas. Garlic knot was a little underdone.

    Korean/Paneer

    Where we've been staying in the city I've been seeing everyone carrying a Wise Guy Pizza box. So naturally I had to go and check it out. I know DC has several places selling big slice pizza. Wise Guy is impressive for the different variations of pizzas. The little corner pizzeria shop is a great place to enjoy a slice (or two...or a whole pie) inside or out. My wife and I enjoyed the Korean, Chicken Paneer, and the Il Capo, with some garlic knots. Since we order a slice, the pizza tasted good being reheated. But I think next time I want to get a whole pie because the people walking out with the fresh pies looked amazing. Will definitely be enjoying here soon again.

    I heard Wiseguy offers the best pizza in DC so as a transplanted New Yorker, I had to check it out! I went with some friends late at night and it was still popping! I got the mushroom slice and enjoyed it! I like how the crust was thin but still had a nice chew. Ratio of cheese to crust was good but I would have loved more mushroom slices to balance out the basil pieces. My friend's Nashville chicken featured fine chicken but wasn't spicy enough. The paneer slice was actually quite spicy (and legit per my Indian friends). The pepper flavors came through and paneer chunks with a good texture. I liked how they heated up the slices nicely without overcooking the pizza. Staff were polite. Tables/seating available inside and out. Overall solid pizza for the DC area!

    Chicken Parm Pizza, $29
    Calder S.

    I had the Chicken Parm pizza ($29) which was 18" big. The pizza was ok. The chicken tasted cheap and was more breading than chicken. The flavors were all a bit bland; adding crushed red pepper helped. I liked the crust (medium thickness) but my friend found it bland and cardboardy. I would visit again but I wouldn't get this pizza again. Service could be improved. I ordered for pick up at 5:45 PM and the pizza wasn't ready until 6 PM. Another person was also picking up a Chicken Parm pizza at the same time; I suspect they delayed my order to make it alongside the other order. Maybe this was more convenient for them, but it wasn't very good service for me. It's also a hassle to pick up pizzas because staff doesn't man the register all the time, so if all the staff are helping other people, there is no one to ask for your pizza, even if you see it sitting on a shelf. This Wiseguy location is barebones but has the basics. There are about 12 seats inside, a soda fountain, a bathroom. They provide napkin and shakers for parmesan and crushed red pepper.

    Great place to come get a late night greasy bite to eat if you are craving pizza and are in the area. It's not jumbo slice but they do have warm pizza. The wings were bbq and they were good. They just heated them back up and poured sauce in it. Same with the pizza, it's already made they just warm it up.

    I'm going to miss this place when I leave. When it's Earlybird the breakfast burritos are excellent…read more(and huge!) At a reasonable price. I grab and use in their entirety both the orange-y hot sauce and the green sauce every time while adding hatch chiles to the simplistico burrito. I've shown several other people this place and they loved it as well. When it turns to side door they make some bomb Detroit style pizza. I truly haven't had a bad example of the style yet. I don't know if I'm selecting well or if it's maybe just low key the ultimate style of pizza but this is yet another fantastic example. It's just a small, quick takeout place for the most part, though there is some seating outside when the weather is appropriate. As such, service is generally to the point which is fine by me.

    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.

    We chose this spot because it was just a very short walk from the Hilton DC where we were staying…read morefor National Police Week. 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!
