What makes a great pizza? It starts with a great oven! Ours is an authentic wood- fired masonry oven where the fire has burned constantly since the day we opened. Modern gas and electric ovens cannot produce the intense heat needed - over 800 degrees - to achieve the crispy, smoky crust that our oven provides. With dough made fresh daily in-house, our goal is to make the best pizza in DC!

In the mood for something a little fancier? Steak, scallops or perhaps grilled salmon? Chef Jon's bistro dishes are simply and classically prepared. You'll find his appetizers and entrees well seasoned and hearty, never bland!

The challenge? How do you build distinctive restaurants in vintage urban spaces? Our original location at 713 H Street was a Chinese grocery in a structure 15 feet wide and three stories tall! Our newest location on Capitol Hill, 521 8th Street, SE was a 90 year old vending machine warehouse. The owners, with backgrounds in restaurants and construction, designed and built both spaces!
