  1. You list Duccini’s as a good value at $13.99 for a one-topping 12″. That’s already a fair price, but I think the reason people are amazed by their price vs. quality are the permanent combo deals. You can get a pair of two-topping 12″ pies for $16.99 total, or 14″ ones for $21.99. Impossible to beat this quality at $8.50 per pizza in DC imo.

  2. I missed Chicago Style, which was a thing growing up in DC in the 70’s & 80’s. I think there are a few Chicago style pizza places left. Even an Armand’s in Rockville and a sister restaurant at Bethany Beach too.

  3. Maddy’s Pizza is new, but the thin crust, bar pie is where it’s at!

  21. Gemini on 17th is high price but the best pizza I’ve had bar none. It’s like if red light was a fluffy cloud crust with crispy edges
