Decent pizza delivery in Dupont/Logan Circle?

[JohnSmith2]

Hi there -- I'm from New Haven and just moved to Dupont/Logan Circle in DC. Is there anywhere, anywhere at all that has decent pizza to deliver to me? I'm just out of the range of Pete's.

When I lived in Logan, we ordered from Italian Pizza Kitchen on U St for every day pizza (you know, nothing special, basically Dominos if it wasn't disgusting and unedible) and the Steam Cafe at 1700 17th St for pricier but near-perfect thin, crispy/chewy pizza.

I don't really like Alberto's. It's not Chicago-style - it's a biscuit topped with sauce and cheese (in that order, no less) - and it's slow. Never had Angelico's.

There's a new place on H St NW - Zpizza - that we're loving so far, but I'm not sure if they deliver to you. It's a pretty standard hand-tossed kind of pizza also - good topping selection, good crust.

I *just barely* cannot get Pete's either. Alas. But I can pick up Matchbox pizza on my way home, which nearly balances it out.

Thanks very much. I will try Steam Cafe. ZPizza is unfortunately too far for delivery but I will try it sometime too.

I was actually pretty disappointed by ZPizza. I give credit to any DC pizza place that sells slices without trying to force that "jumbo slice" nonsense on you, but even by DC standards I felt that the slices weren't that great. They weren't awful, but I didn't think it was worth the four blocks I had to walk to get there, either.

I was also annoyed that they only sell five kinds of pizza by the slice and were out of two of them when I was there, during the early part of lunch hour. I can understand them running out of slices at 10:00 PM, but during the early part of lunch hour they should be cranking those things out to ensure that they don't run out.

Totally agree. It's OK Pizza for this area, but there is a lackadasical attitude in the way all there places seem to be run. I wonder sometimes if people down here just don't understand the concept of hustle. Walk into a northern pizzeria and they are moving their butts, especially at lunchtime.

I have only had delivery of whole pies - haven't been to the actual location for a slice. I don't think I'd expect it to be We the Pizza or anything like that, but I can't see how it couldn't be better that Pizza Autentica (nasty, nasty pizza). I just go to Bistro Med for a slice since it's closer, but it's also in no way comparable to a serious pizzeria.

in case it matters, we've had Pete's delivery and it wasn't that good. I think it is better fresh. It was VERY expensive, too.

[JohnSmith2]

I actually disagree with this -- Pete's is good even for delivery. Although you are right that it is quite expensive (for pizza).

We got Pete's delivery a couple of days ago. Very good delivery pizza, but not as good as if you got it in the restaurant. It cost $31, including their delivery charge. Outrageous. It's too much pizza for two people. Best for 3 really hungry people or 4 people with normal appetites.

[Jeserf]

It didn't taste as fresh as a $30 pizza should. It very much loses something on the drive.

I've always been happy w/Alberto's, at 20th and P Streets. Consistently high quality, and an interesting range of toppings. http://albertospizzeria.com/home/

Not blow-your-mind awesome pizza, but pretty tasty with some good toppings is Angelico's, and they have several locations that deliver. Mt. Pleasant or U St. will probably get to you.

Second Angelico's.

I live near Pizzeria Paradisio so in the rare change that I'm ordering pizza, I usually just pick up an order from there.

For actual delivery my boyfriend use to really like Alberto's when he lived in Dupont Circle.
