I haven't found a topic for here yet...

I've walked by Listrani's a bunch of times but never stopped. Tonight I had a huge craving for pizza so I went there instead of ordering in.

Wow. That was great pizza! Nice thin crust, kind of like a cracker, and I got the Colombo Combo which had tons of toppings for $9.99 for an individual. I washed it down with two Sierra Nevada Pale Ales at the bar.

I'd been wanting a good "beer and pizza" place like that and it's too bad that according to the comedy side owner, it appears, that the "sit down" area will be a sushi place after Jan. 1st. Listrani's will still be doing take out and delivery though.

He's moving the comedy/bar (?) part elsewhere - I didn't catch where. But it's the rent that caught up with 'em.

Have you been to the one on MacArthur?

Just the one in Courthouse. Didn't realize there were more.

We got a pizza delivered from the MacArthur location. . .once. Had a coupon or something. Frankly, I have no memory of it other than that it wasn't worth remembering. The search for good delivered pizza in DC continues. . .

We tried their place in McLean. I remember three things about the pizza: salt, salt, and salt.

Sadly, Listrani's glory days were during the Clinton Administration.

Upstairs, amid a growing mound of coffee cups, pizza boxes from Listrani's and burn bags filled with discarded drafts, the team was trying to compress Clinton's huge vision for America into a size-10 Treasury. By dawn Wednesday, there was a crisp stack of pages on Clinton's desk to be torn apart.

They [Naked Pizza] join the list of half-ass pizza joints that deliver to us (in McLean), such as Lost Dog, Listrani's, Red Tomato, Papa John's, Domino's, Pizza Hut, and McLean Pizza Restaurant. My wife and I agreed that the best pizza within a short drive (i.e., <5 minutes) from our house is Pulcinella, and they're just okay. The result is that we end up ordering from Pizza Hut or Papa John's because while they're not good, they're at least cheap.

FWIW, twenty years ago, Listrani's (the one on MacArthur Blvd.) was pretty good - and, they used to deliver to McLean!

Listranis's used to be good, deliver to American University and take AmEx, the only credit card I had back in the day.

Had dinner there (Mac Blvd) with my wife's family right after the holidays, nothing terribly wrong with the meal. But with 12 of us, eating is the last thing on our minds.
