All-Purpose Pizza - Shaw

Loading who’s going…

✨ Vibe

A bustling and energetic Shaw neighborhood staple that blends the warmth of a classic Italian-American pizzeria with the lively, fast-paced atmosphere of a modern DC craft bar.

🍸 Best For

Late afternoon happy hours, social group dinners, craft beer enthusiasts, and casual date nights.

🔥 Highlights

  • The Buona Pizza: A fan-favorite pie featuring spicy pepperoni, fresh basil, and a uniquely sweet-savory sauce that guests swear by.
  • Exceptional Happy Hour: Runs until 7:00 PM and features "spot on" cocktails like the Bee's Knees alongside $11 pizza deals.
  • Crispy Calamari: A highly recommended appetizer known for its thin, crispy exterior and perfectly tender center.

ℹ️ Need to Know

  • The dining room fills up quickly during peak hours, but the bar is an excellent spot to perch for full service and quick drinks.
  • The flavor profile here often leans into sweetness (especially the standard sauce and certain cocktails), so ask your server for recommendations if you prefer more savory or salt-forward dishes.
