Navy Yard, Shaw
Italian
The centerpiece of the menu at these hopping Italian spots in Shaw and Navy Yard is the Jersey-style pizza, with its crunchy, flavorful crust (good enough to eat on its own, especially with a feta-ranch “dippie”). As tasty as the pepperoni-and-honey and “supreme” pies are, you could eat just as well focusing on small plates: polenta-crusted calamari with lemony aïoli, a Little Gem Caesar, and extra-gooey eggplant parm.
Price
Based on dinner for two, including tax and 20-percent tip:
Moderate: $101 to $200
Locations
Shaw : 1250 9th St NW, Washington DC, 20001
Navy Yard : 79 Potomac Ave SE, Washington DC, 20003
