Pizza Delivery in DC

[catharine]

This year I have the dubious honor of serving on my office's "sunshine committee." We have monthly office parties for the staff of 45. This month we want to do a pizza party and I refuse to go the Sbarro's route (they're located in our food court in the Reagan Building). I would also like to avoid Domino's and the other national chains.

Please tell me how I can have a decent pie delivered to the office. I've searched and haven't found a thread on this topic.

Thanks!

Albertos on P St NW is by far the best. Be forewarned that they take about 45 minutes to deliver and the specials that are listed on the website are no longer in effect.

While I am not sure if Ella's delivers, its location on 9th and F Street is relatively close to your office and certainly much better than the usual chain pizza houses.

Radius delivers. Though you may be out of its range, I'd bet given the context that it's for 45 people they'd do it.

Try Washington Deli. They specialize in office catering. In my fiancee's (who's from the New York part of New Jersey and knows a thing or two about pizza) opinion, it's the best REAL pizza available in the city.

Be warned, you may want to order a few days in advance!

Try the "Fancy White Pizza; Olive Oil, fresh garlic, spinach, feta cheese, mushrooms!"

While I love Alberto's pizza I've had a few really awful experiences with their delivery, the last two times taking more than 90 mins (I was quoted 45 mins each time). Both times I called at about the 75 min. mark and the guy says "You don't have to pay full price, just pay the driver what you think is fair." I got the impression he was pretty used to saying this. The size of your order might make them treat you better though.

I still eat there though, just only when I have time to go pick it up. The thin crust chicago pizza is great, one of my favorite pizzas in the city & I think the best of its kind. I often get them to put honey around the crust of the "chi-town", which works surprisingly welll with the meat.

I have not returned to Alberto's in the 2 years since a rock in their pizza cracked one of my molars.

I use Duccini's at 18th and U (202-483-0005/8484) and have been very pleased.

I flip flop between Duccini's and Alberto's. Alberto's is much, much better, but it's also very expensive, and delivery can take forever.

Thanks, everyone. You've given me a ton of great options.

Better rocks that crack, than rocks of crack, I always say.

lol - I'm glad to hear it. Now head to Lareau Farms in Vermont for some of their rustic flatbread pizza. You'll never eat another pizza again.

Try Washington Deli

This place is our go-to lunch pizza spot at work. Have found that the slices get the appropriate amount of time in the oven when they aren't super-busy, so we try to get there slightly before the rush, around 11:45. Great stuff, and a slice is $3 even after tax, so you get a nice filling lunch for $6 and you don't have change rattling around in your pocket.

Any body know of decent pizza delivry in SE Capitol Hill?

[Mark Dedrick]

My preference is Bistro Italiano on 3rd and D, NE. They might deliver out to you depending on where you are.

[Mark Slater]

Pizza Movers ( ! ) has this decent steak, cheese and onion calzone.

Decent, maybe. I'll second the Bistro Italiano, although they might not deliver. There is always Citipizza, or Al's, but I would avoid the latter. The former is decent, nothing more. Al's aspires to decent.

Brilliant New Pizza Concept from Pizza Hut!

Awesome. Reminds me of another of my favorite pieces from The Onion re: Starbucks.
