Potomac Pizza

Hands down the best pizza place in DC. It’s deliciously good, as close to NY Pizza you can get! They offer a really good deal for a slice at $ 2.99 and $ 3.50 for three toppings. My favorite toppings are extra cheese, spinach and pineapple.
They also serve beer, wine and other great Italian foods such as pasta. They have ice cream, cookies, and chips too. This is a cool place to hang out, eat some pizza and watch a game. There’s a nice size TV in the dinning area. Oh, if you dine in, the server will bring you a menu and give you a real restaurant experience.

The closest thing to NY pizza I’m all of the metro area as far as I’m concerned. I drive 20+ miles from Columbia to Bethesda/​Chevy Chase just to treat myself.
They used to frequently same excellent Groupon deals. Two pizzas for $ 20.00 and you didn’t have to get both pizzas at the same time. So essentially you were getting a $ 10.00 large pizza with one topping. This is a deal since a large pepperoni costs about $ 20.00
I haven’t seen the Groupon lately but always check before you go. I’m actually making the drive today to get me some of this goodness… I’m going to also try the garlic knots today. Keep ya posted!

We love to come here! We can walk and know we’ll get good pizza, good service at a fair price.
Wait staff are friendly and attentive.
We highly recommend Potomac Pizza!

Stopped in here for Lafayette Elementary School’s Fundraiser a few days ago. My Fiancé is a new teacher this year and we wanted to take the time to show our support. The staff is extremely attentive and the location is super convenient. Right next to the Friendship Heights Metro and they have outdoor seating. We ordered Sodas and a Half Cheese/​half Hawaiian Pizza with a Salad to share. We were talking with a few of the families when our food came out in what seemed like no time at all. The salad was fresh and full of flavor. The pizza was perfectly cooked and the half with toppings was piled high (like it should be).
A very pleasant experience all around.

I went here for lunch and got the lunch special — two slices of pizza and a salad. The pizza was practically raw, the cheese on it just barely melted. I also had Canadian bacon topping on the pizza and since it was practically raw I wasn’t sure if they cooked the meat to the right temperature, so had to pick all the meat off just to be safe. The pizza without the canadian bacon on it was ok. The salad was wilted and brown. I don’t even eat that brown of salad leaves at home, so I don’t know why they would think it’s acceptable to serve that bad of lettuce when someone is paying for it. They were incredibly busy for lunch and I did receive my order quickly. However I’d rather it take a little longer and be a fresh salad and cooked pizza than just slamming out poor quality food. I don’t plan to go back.

JUst no flavor, simple as that. Everything was bland that was sauce based. The sausage sandwich was the same but the sausage wasn’t bad. Very pricey and just not worth it. Wings were also undercooked and lacked any flavor.

I was unsure about wanting to try this place and I was right for it. The service is pretty good they complete your order at a nice pace took about 10 mins and they have great deals like 2 slices of pizza, one soda, and a side order is $ 10.59 however the food is a BIG problem when I received my order the pizza was thin and soggy the cheese slid off the fries were soggy the only thing that was eight was the soda and I’m sure that they had the least amount responsibility for that. This place probably has some better food like if I got a sandwich or something but the pizza is horrible and they should really improve on that if they are going to have it in their name. I feel like that was a big waste of money considering that I didn’t need the drink and the food was terrible and I didn’t eat it.

I always found Potomac Pizza to be the best pizza! I am now on the West Coast and missing it. Haven’t found anything that compares. However, my only complaint that is holding me from giving 5 stars is the customer service. The employees really need to try and be a bit more friendly and welcoming. I know it can be hard when your super busy and overwhelmed with orders but that’s one of the most important factors in a successful business.

Order took 2 hours to deliver to Bethesda metro office building. Pizza was cold, not even close to being fresh. The box was obviously turned on its side back when it WAS hot, since the toppings of cheese and pepperoni were in the corner of the box, congealed. I am outraged. This is terrible and unacceptable.
Edit: The owner called me personally and apologized for the pizza mess, and gave me a full refund and additional credit to make the situation right. As angry as I was in the moment, I do look forward to ordering pizza in the future since I do think it tastes great!

I ordered their Grilled Tuna Steak Salad, and was very disappointed with what I got! The fish was dry, hard, and yet chewy. It almost felt I was eating a piece of wood or rubber.
The server was somewhat awkward and yet while cleaning empty plates, he tried to grab everything at the same time. Silverware forks and knives were falling over… When we helped him put everything together in his hands he started to move from out table, but two steps further dropped a forks again. Instead of picking them up he was kicking them with his shoes towards the kitchen area (of course! his hands were busy)!!! That was really, really bad!!!
Awful quick bite dining experience!!!

I ordered on grubhub. Not only did everything that should have come hot arrive cold, the fries were soggy and when the Congressional Turkey Club says «stacked with roasted turkey breast», it really means 2 ½ measly pieces of crappy cold cut turkey. I am really not a picky eater at all, but this was the worst waste of money. Especially for a poor college student.

Melo was just the bestest server EVER! (and super cute) There were probably 20 of us in our party and the food came out hot, fresh, and according to all of our many substitutions/​additions/​subtractions. The kids menu is a plus — they were all happy with their selections. Overall great experience.

We walked in for dinner on a Saturday. Hardly anyone was there. I didn’t think that was a good sign, but plenty of people came in to order take out.
Since we were unable to order the White Pizza (they were out of one/​some of the ingredients). However, we were able to add black olives and garlic to the Three Cheese and it was quite good! Definitely worthy of a return visit.

This is a tale of two pizzas. My first time here, I was busy shopping in the area and grabbed a single slice of pepperoni to scarf down on the go. Blech. The dough was soggy and the cheese was sliding right off. It was probably the only time in my life I was glad I’d only ordered one slice of pizza.
But being a white pizza aficionada, I tried a personal white pizza later on. It was delicious! It’s the closest I’ve gotten to Grotto’s white pizza in the area, though it’s still not the same. I wish the dough was crisper and the crust thinner as it tends to be very puffy. Still, I find it to taste pretty good.
I’ve been back for more white pizzas and they’re consistently good. Maybe one day I’ll give their other stuff another chance but for now I’m sticking with what I know.

Good pizza but slightly pricey. They do have a TV to watch some games and you can grab an ice cold brew. Wings and salad aren’t bad either. Always fast service with pleasant staff.

For a grub hub delivery. 1 hour and 30 minutes, still nothing.
I called after an 1 hour and 15 minutes (ten minutes after eta) to inquire about status.
They said they weren’t sure exactly when it would be «out of the kitchen» and the «delivery guy is away.»
Order canceled.
I know their food is decent, but when it doesn’t show, it’s not very good at all.

Review is for takeout only, since my husband spoils me and picks up when I’ve had a long day at work.
And Potomac Pizza makes it all worth it! Terrific crust, even the thin crust. The Hawaiian is particularly good, and you can order light cheese (or even no cheese) if you don’t want a heart attack.

Online ordering. Quick delivery. The keystones of a successful takeout operation right there.
Dominos will give you two pizzas for $ 10, so getting one pizza for $ 22 like you will here isn’t exactly a steal, but I did get four toppings (pepperoni, basil, spinach, garlic), and they loaded that bad boy up. Very generous with the toppings. Seriously, every bite will take you on a journey through flavor country.
I also got an order of jalapeño poppers, which had a nice deep fry to them with breading that didn’t fall apart with the first bite — I hate places that can’t fry stuff up competently. The pepper was great, but I’m not crazy about their mix of cream and cheddar cheeses. Just stick to the cream, says this observer.
Bottom line: it’s a balance between great taste and a way too high price for pizza. I’d definitely recommend it, though.

First impressions means a lot and when my co-​worker told me this place was great (he mostly does take out) and I took this as an opportunity to try it out for lunch with my family and some coworkers on 26FEB14. However, it was all but great =l
So the three issues I had with the place:
1) We ordered the veggie pizza (mushrooms, broccoli, and tomoatoes). Although we received the pizza within a reasonable amount of time the pizza crust was SOGGY and not enjoyable (from what my co worker said, they probably didn’t cook it long enough).
2) When I got the check I still had a pizza on my plate (still hungry) and as I was getting my credit card to stick into the black book where the receipt is the waiter took my plate (I was also talking to my daughter who was next to me and didn’t notice). As soon as the waiter left I said to the group «Did someone take my plate?» and they all said yes. The waiter came back and said «Did I take something I wasn’t supposed to take?» and I said yes and he chuckled and said he was on a roll taking the plates (other plates on the table), no apology or remedy HE just chuckled. To me that’s poor customer service to not even apologize.
3) Then soon after THAT, another guy takes the black book with my credit card and swipes it and brings it back to me. I looked at the bill and it was cheaper so I was like okay cool he gave me a discount for the pizza he took from me. So I sign it and tip the guy. The «other guy» takes the the black book then COMES Back and says I need to swipe your card again because I charged your coworkers meal on your card. UNBELIEVABLE.
Needles to say, based on SOGGY Pizza and Poor customer service, I do not recommend this place AT ALL. I hear Ledo’s on River road is better, go there!

After a lot of switching, and back and forth, this has become my place to order delivery pizza and the odd Italian sub.
Their service is solid– though their location means they fight traffic at most hours – I hate going to this area of town because of the congestion. But they do a good job.
Their pizza is very cheesy and consistent. I think it is much better right out of their oven, but that is seldom how I eat it.
They serve a decent Italian hero – not in the Taylor’s category, but better than Subway. Their salads are ok too.
