Some of Washington’s best pizza can be found at this strip-mall destination. It would look unassuming if not for the line that forms long before doors open, when foodies from across the area descend for former fine-dining chef Tony Conte’s blistered neo-Neapolitan pies. We dream of the rosemary-scented potato-and-onion version, and his Margherita gets two thumbs up from kids and adults alike. Start with a perfect green salad with truffle vinaigrette, and don’t leave without a swirl of soft-serve with coffee caramel.
