There are, of course, an intolerable number of BAD pizza joints in DC, but the ones I think are pretty good are:

Armand's

Uno's (this, of course, is all over the place, so you'll probably want to avoid it)

Bertucci's (new place in 2000 Penn)

What you want to do is head down to Duke Street in Alexandria, VA. There is a place called Generous George's, and that is where I love eating pizza in the DC metro area. As good as "Armand" is, "George" puts him to shame! No really, you could not do better unless you made it yourself. I'm sorry I don't remember their street address, but the phonebook or information should set you right. Not Metrorail accessible.

(hmm. Maybe we should make pizza for dinner tonight.)

Hello,

I like to eat in local establishments, rather than chains, so here's my 2 cents:

Downtown:  (Famous) Luigi's Pizza (on 19th Street, I think)

Va Suburbs:  Pines of Italy (Also great pasta) in North Arlington

Hope you enjoy all that pizza!

I think it would help greatly if anyone posting favorite pizza places included their pizza resume' - that is, simply name the locale in which you either grew up, or acquired your basic taste for pizza. For example, Chicago and New York are different pizza planets...

I'm from Joisey, and the best pizza I've found in 12 years down here is at Gervasio's in Tyson's Corner Mall (a good approximation of NY pizza), or the Italian Oven in McLean (wonderful wood-burning oven crisp crust, flavorful pepperoni and sausage, fresh tomato sauce).

Still nothing like NY street pizza, or Conte's in Princeton, tho...
