Had dinner at Mia's last Thursday and was quite impressed. I thought it was better than it had been in years-- I used to go frequently and then other pizza places beckoned, notably Pupatella (we make the trek regularly from Chevy Chase to Arlington just to go there.) I did not know about the change in ownership until today, and I was surprised to hear that Melissa Ballinger was no longer in charge. It seems unusual for a restaurant to drastically improve after a big change, mostly it's the other way around.
Anyway we had 4 pizzas: Mia's, Genovese, Jorge's Inferno, and Exotic mushroom. The topping were fresh and flavorful, and the crust was definitely in a league with the top pizza in the DMV. Go figure.
