The pesto-like dip was tested the other night with no complaints!

Then, the next day came about for taking a friend around DC.  Between museums, one must eat!  So, after going to pizzeria #1 and having a long wait, we opted for pizzeria #2…longer wait.  What now?  We stumbled upon another restaurant/pizzeria in the Gallery Place/Chinatown area that was amazing…District of Pi.  The restaurant is based in St. Louis and this location has been in DC for about 1.5 years.

Table-wise, no wait at 12:15pm on a Thursday (though we opted for the bar).  Great beer-on-tap selection and many pizza options, both thin crust and deep dish.  We opted for one of the thin crust specials of white bean, chicken, chorizo and arugula, requesting half with/half without cheese because of my lactose intolerance.

Now, the order was place AFTER great conversation about, and tasting of, the beer on tap.    They have amazing brews available and the bartender gave me samples of nearly half a dozen before I opted for a wonderful Bell’s Amber.

When the pizza arrived, it was amazing — thin, hot, perfectly ‘halved’ cheese-wise and delicious.  And, nice beer pairing, too.

If you’re in the DC area, I would highly recommend checking this place out.  It’s just about a block from the normal ‘turf’ of Gallery Place/Chinatown and amazing.
