Favorite pizza in the area

[nkotb]

That's where I live.  I tried Golden Dragon (near the Blockbuster, right?)  I wasn't that impressed; although I've only been once.  I was definitely spoiled by Hunan Kitchen, and it's still worth fighting traffic on Duke Street for their Kung Pao Triple.

I really have started to like Duccini's Pizza at 18th and U St.
 
 Ledo's is different and I really like it. They use a lot of bacon grease though in their dough which I find yummy. I grew up on that when I was way younger and the only location was College Park. Could and still can get half cooked pizzas to take home to finish heating.

i just moved to columbia heights and had a pizza delivered from duccini's the other night...it was terrible tho. maybe i should give it another shot. at least i had a coupon for 99 cent pints of Ben & Jerry's with my order.
 
 btw, i'm having a hard time finding decent delivery in my neighborhood. i'm actually located at three spires (16th & columbia) which is central to u street, mt pleasant, columbia heights and adams morgan. there are tons of restaurants around but no idea who delivers...any ideas? (yum's does not count!)

good grief Charlie Brown; i was going to say the same exact thing!!  Vace's is retty much my childhood, with sauce and cheese on top...
 
 i also love ARMAND'S a lot a lot, and i'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet.
 
 and second, third, fourth, and fifth Ledo's.
 
 also love Pizzeria Paradiso...there is one in Georgetown, and one somewhere else near GW that i went to once and don't remember where it was.
 
 is that Adam's Morgan one good?  i always pass it, and haven't gone in...

you should check if Mr. Chen's Organic delivers that far, there is basically no good Chinese food is Portland, people seem to like PF Changs and Panda Express, I miss Mr. Chens

 I believe Ducinis is basically a ripoff of Pizza Bolis, but I never tried it
 
 Pizzeria Paradiso is terribly overrated in my opinion, I used to work in the directly above the dupont Paradiso, never understood how it was so popular
 
 My favorite new york style pizza was from The Bagelry in georgetown

Ambrosia in Rockville.

 Angelico's for delivery
 
 2 Amy's for dine in

HELLO!
 
 How can this thread have gone on so long without any mention of pizza from Chicago? Which truly is the best pizza other than Neapolitan pizza...
 
 Not only do they claim the origin of the deep dish, which is good, of course, but they have the thin crust that is cut into square slices not triangles. Before I moved to the DC area, I had never seen regular thin crust pizza cut into triangles.
 
 All that being said, the Uno chains are somewhat disappointing. Around here, I like Paradiso and Matchbox best.

i like those pizza places that sell pot in the box with your pie, when you say the secret ingredient over the phone.  and the secret word is usually something stupid like "extra oregano."

I'm pretty fond of jumbo slice.  That's not good pizza, but good enough when I'm drunk.

....and I suppose you can't find a decent bagle outside of the big apple either?  :roll:
 
 I hate chigago style "deep dish" pizza, just nasty, All base, no taste!

As a transplanted New Yorker whose two favorite pizzerias are/were Mimi's on Lexington and 84th and the dear, departed Tony's Hav-A-Pizza on 86th off Lexington, I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that the only pizza I've found down here that I think compares to NY pizza is the Joe's Pizza and Pasta chain ... large, plain cheese. Once they get into putting stuff on it, all bets are off because it gets too thick and icky. But the plain? Thin crust, oozy and gooey with lots of strusels (the long strands of cheese that make you look like a slob).
