Italian Pizza Kitchen

I placed an order for pick up to get some pizzas for a work event today. Honestly, the order was wasted on a work event, because they have some really cool and unique pizzas I'd love to try! I got a cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza, and their Hawaiian pizza, plus a few order of mozzarella sticks.

The pizzas were ready when I stopped by at my pick up time, and the cashier was very nice. The restaurant looked warm and welcoming.

The food was all delicious. The mozzarella sticks were only warm when we finally ate them, but pretty good. The pizzas were great, though, and got great reviews from everyone, which is hard to do! I'm a big Hawaiian pizza fan, and their Hawaiian had really good ham and little tomatoes on it, which added a nice extra something that made it stand out. Three 16 inch pizzas was more than enough for 8 people- we could have gotten 2 and still had a couple pieces left over.

It's nice to have a new go-to pizza place in the area for work functions! I would love to go to the restaurant myself for dinner.

Ordered lasagna and a meatball Stromboli. The lasagna was good. Great sauce. Perfection. And some yummy garlic bread.

The Stromboli was a miss. The dough was good but it was more like ground beef than meatballs.

I like the fresh new look of the interior.

Stopped in for a quick lunch on the weekend. The menu had a lot of options but we decided to play it safe with a calzone and a side of fries.

The calzone was stuffed with cheese and pepperoni- but almost seemed like it need a few more mins in the oven, some of the cheese wasn't completely melted. Sadly, the fries came out soft and very blonde. We asked them to stick them into the fryer again to crisp them up, but when they came back - they were only a little brown on the edges and still lacked any kind of crunch or flavor.

Service was quick and efficient!

ASTOUNDING. This establishment is amazing! The Italian is authentic, our waitress was superb, the food was delicious, and our experience was phenomenal!

My friend and I absolutely love this place. We visited twice in less than a week to get a taste of a few dishes. Regrettably I only took one picture of their tiramisu. But all of the food was FANTASTIC. The cannoli was the BEST I ever had.

I can't believe how kind the waitress was! She served us the last cannoli available! I recommend this place to everyone who goes DC, to visit this hidden gem.

Can't wait to visit again!!

Very clean, organized, authentic and humble ambiance.

Pizza had thick doughy crust with no sauce in the middle absolutely nastyyyy. I thought maybe it was just one piece that didn't have enough sauce, but it was every slice. There was also a gritty texture to the sauce that was there.

Solid DC Pizza option....i still have delicious pepperoni and cheese in my paws! Would recommend the 2 pizza deal meow.

I'm not a fan of Italian Pizza Kitchen. The last couple of times I have eaten here I have gotten sick. However, the smell of this place always attracts me when I walk by.

Pay close attention when you order in. They automatically charge an 18% tip! I was in town for business and wanted to order something quick to eat and go back to the hotel. They told us to grab a table- no problem. Food was ok. Like most places these days, it wasn't worth the price but Ive gotten used to that. I felt deceived bc they added the tip automatically. They literally brought me my plate and a glass of water.

Awful.
You have to train your personal, they are there just for the payment. not love to the business at all. I love your food. please address this issue.

As you can see from the reviews, this place is wildly inconsistent. I've ordered many times, including large orders to my job. The pizza is pretty good, but the service is terrible. Once they forgot my order and didn't even apologize after it was delivered 2.5 hours late. They need better management. I won't be ordering again.
