u-bet! Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have a craving for Chicago-style deep dish pizza. Anyone know if a decent version exists in the Alexandria/Arlington area? Was thinking Armand's, but it's been ages since I've had one of their pies, and I can't remember if it was any good or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthitch Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have a craving for Chicago-style deep dish pizza. Anyone know if a decent version exists in the Alexandria/Arlington area? Was thinking Armand's, but it's been ages since I've had one of their pies, and I can't remember if it was any good or not. Armand's are not horrible, I actually like their sauce, and for the most part I have found them to be a step up from Uno's, but then again Sbarro's is a step above the last thing I ate at an Uno's.

goodeats Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Armand's depends on the location you order from, as I've had some misses in this area, like the Clarendon/Rosslyn location. At one point, I seem to recall Alberto's claiming to do deep dish, but I never tried theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr food Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 The original Armands on Wisconsin is the location to get their pizza. They have a lunch buffet which is a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyy Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Alberto's has a very respectable deep dish, though expensive and out of your geographic area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_ironstomach Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Also notable, Gepetto's has been baking deep-dish pizza since 1977. The original Georgetown location is long gone, but the west Bethesda location still survives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halloween Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Call Giordano's in Chicago. They will ship you a pie, and it will be better than anything you can buy in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gino's East and Lou ships too, I believe. Of course, it's all without meat, but it makes your additions all the more fun.*missing a piece of home...

Kibbee Nayee Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Armand's in Old Town tends to be genuine, but I'm not a fan of a lot of bread in my pizza. Put me down for New Jersey - New York pizza. Always remember, the best French food in the world is available in France, the best Chinese food in the world is available in China, and the best Italian food in the world is available in New Jersey.

I <heart> their stuffed pizza. Whenever I'm in or passing through Chicagoland, I make a Giordano's detour. Recapping a tale I think I've told here before, the Nancy's franchise that used to be near White Flint cranked out a really good Chicago-style stuffed pizza, and if you ordered it half-baked they'd also loan you the aluminum heatsink contraption used to make sure it baked through. Really good, that is, until they gave up the franchise and reinvented themselves as a vegetarian kosher pizza joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
