According to my friend Anna, a former CT, New Haven County, resident, D.C. and places that are further south do not seem to appreciate the "pizza culture" that us CT residents have, with New Haven brick oven styles and New York just in our backyard. Therefore, when she first introduced me to Angelico's, on Wisconsin Ave., I was starving, but unsure as to what the pizza would be like.
Well, it was a "love at first sight" type of deal, when I first saw this huge, "bigger than my head" piece of pizza, last summer, while in the city.
Earlier this week, Angelico's proved to be just as tasty.
It is an interesting restaurant that seems half commercialized, half hometown.
Although, I must say that when I asked for a slice of mozzarella pizza, the waitress looked at me very puzzled and said, "We just have cheese."
Ironically, one of my favorite pizz restaurants in my hometown: Amore Apizza of Wallingford, claims that it uses the "finest Wisconsin mozzarella," and here I was on Wisconsin Ave and "mozzarella pizza" was unheard of.
I replied by telling her that I will have a piece of that, and Anna cleared up the incident by explaining that people "down here" don't really have the same pizza understanding as us New Haven County residents do.
I highly recommend stopping here, if you are in D.C., and in the mood for pizza.
