The stracciatella cheese is pulled by hand, and the dough ferments for 72 hours before it ever sees a topping. This Roman-style pizzeria in Alexandria started as a food truck and now draws a wait for tables, which people seem willing to endure. Specials rotate fast, salads lean seasonal and serious, and the mainstay pies hold up without leaning on novelty. Order by QR code; the servers are worth talking to anyway.

Corn carbonara
“Hope for the corn carbonara, which adds local sweet corn to the crunchy Roman-style dough, along with salty cured pork cheek, egg yolk, and blobs of cream-oozing stracciatella.”
Northern Virgina Magazine, 2025 -
Brooklyner
“The Brooklyner features pepperoni and sausage atop tomatoes and fresh basil, with a hint of Calabrian chile and honey for a spicy-sweet delight.”
Northern Virgina Magazine, 2025 -
Tiramisu
“Seasonal desserts like blackberry granita will delight, but so will the concentrated flavors of the tiramisu.”
Northern Virgina Magazine, 2025 -
Seasonal salad
“The seasonal salad is a must, especially one summery mix of greens with juicy cherries, pistachios, creamy goat cheese, pickled onions, and garlicky saba vinaigrette.”
