DC Pizzeria Named Among Best In World By Italian Website

WASHINGTON, DC — A Washington, D.C. pizzeria was among 100 eateries included in a new list celebrating the best pizza in the world, according to an Italian pizza-ranking website.

Slice & Pie in D.C.'s Dupont Circle neighborhood was ranked the 98th best pizzeria in the world, according to 50 Top Pizza's 2024 guide that recognizes the top pizza from multiple countries including Italy, Japan, England and Brazil.

"Born from the decades of experience of pizzaiolo Giulio Adriani, Slice & Pie has a strong American character, recognizable from the majority of products used, which aims to maintain as much Italian identity as possible," the ranking says of Slice & Pie.

Located at 2221 14th St. N.W., Slice & Pie serves up classic slices including cheese and pepperoni, but also offers specialties like the "Truffle Pie" with Parmesan cream and mushrooms, the "Burrata Pie" with California tomato sauce, and the "Square Pie," a Detroit-style square pizza with provolone, honey, and pepperoni.

The business is spearheaded by Adriani, an Italian-born pizzaiolo who brings three decades of experience to his pizza, including classical training in Naples.

Slice & Pie was honored by 50 Top Pizza earlier this year when it ranked second on the website's list of 50 Top Pizza Slices - USA.
