We were passing through and stopped in on a whim for a couple slices of pizza. Super friendly staff, very kind to my four year old son, yummy pizza! Will be back if we’re ever in the neighborhood!
Hidden Gem.
The food is amazing, the staff are friendly and competent. The dining area is small and cramped but that certainly doesn't take away from the experience. The pizza is top notch!

Hi, I am a local teenager in the area and I have been going to fairlington pizza for years! The pizza is amazing with tons of toppings and lots of cheese! And for the quality of pizza the price is good. The owner is so nice! I have been going here since I was a pre-teen with my friends, and the staff was always super kind. They would often bump up our pizza to a large for free or would throw in an extra slice for us! The atmosphere in the shop is amazing! This is easily the best pizza place in town! The food here is to die for and the costumer service is amazing!
Definitely the most unorganized Potbelly location I've eaten at. It seems like only one employee knew how to do their job. There was no one in line when we showed up. We waited at the condiment counter for multiple minutes waiting for help.
All the while, it went from no line to six people in line. Everyone stuck waiting for someone to start putting condiments on sandwiches.
Definitely the most unorganized location I've been to. All of the staff besides the one guy with the curly hair needs significant training.

First time ordering from here.
Ordered a pizza some wings and a salad.
Pizza was decent (prob the toppings I chose) 6/10
Sweet red chili wings were really good 8.5/10
Greek salad was also really good! 9/10
Found 2 long hairs in the pizza which really killed the experience for me.
Don’t know if I’ll be back to order from here again.

Delicious sandwiches and everything is fresh. Soups are good. Broccoli cheese was really good and hot.Great customer service and clean restaurant.
This place is pretty cool. Decor is like a fun thrift shop. You want to look at everything. The staff were super nice. The food was very generous on ingredients and the taste made you feel like they made it just for you. Mom and Pop vibes for sure and I love it! I will definitely be back
Farlington Pizza Shop is a fixture in our area for a reason (okay, several reasons). GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PEOPLE RUNNING THE PLACE!
I had another occasion to enjoy a meal at this super comfortable place to have marvelous Italian food.
The pizza is the star and whenever I'm looking for the kind of pizza I had back in the 70's Fairlington is where I go. You know the type I'm talking about, plenty of oil (grease) from the cheese and the pepperoni. The type that takes several napkins to catch the corners of your mouth. This time, I tried the meatball sub. A perfectly toasted sub roll holding lots of cheese and big savory real meat meatballs, and the tomato sauce that beautifully pulls the whole taste together. Will be a tough choice next time: Pizza or Meatball sub? Or maybe try something else on the extensive menu? I'll let you know.

The food is good but the for one the app and on Google maps it states this place closes at 10:00pm but the 3 times I’ve been here they always tell me the closing an hour earlier, that being said if indeed it’s true please update the time so we won’t be misinformed and secondly whoever is in charge of closing and on that cashier has no etiquette and rude on top of that. Please do better, the food is delicious
Truly the worst. This is not from one experience but multiple. I honestly have never seen a more disinterested, apathetic and hostile staff anywhere. Just now I stood at the counter while a person opposite was making a sandwich. For 5 minutes neither he not anyone else even acknowledged my presence. I just left. I’ve had a litany of other issues, and try to give them more than one chance, don’t bother. There is a Jimmy John’s across the way where lovely humans have always been positive, cordial and consistently deliver. One store is well managed. The other makes you feel very unwelcome.
**This message is for Potbelly CORPORATE/STORE MANAGEMENT — not the staff of this specific store. The staff at this location does their absolute best and the issues are out of their control.
Today was the second time I’ve had to wait over 30 minutes to get a pickup (that was supposed to be ready) and the staff is completely overwhelmed. As a corporate entity, you need to support your locations properly so they can handle the volume they are getting daily. They have more pickups than in-shop orders and they only have 1 person handling pickup. There’s also not a separate line with a cold table for them to make the pickup orders, so of course everything is going to be backed up for hours.
Stop torturing your already underpaid staff and either cap online orders at a certain number or get them more resources.

Potbellies hit different from the other sub spots I was very impressed thanks. The steakhouse beef was fire but the tuna melt was just ok. That was then this is now potbellies service is two thumbs down. They have to realize they are in a professional atmosphere.
This is one of the worst Potbelly stores I have been to. It’s often chaos behind the counter and the staff seems overwhelmed, even when they aren’t all that busy. Sometimes, they simply stop processing mobile app orders. Today, the app told me my order (just one sandwich) would be ready in 10 minutes. After waiting 30 minutes past order time, I got the attention of one of the employees and asked about it. She pulled my ticket off the line and made the sandwich. So I guess if I hadn’t asked, it would have taken an hour or maybe more…? Meanwhile, people who ordered in the restaurant were waiting 5 minutes or more just to pay because the cashier was saturated dealing with all of the customers who ordered an the app. Just a poor customer experience all around. I’m giving them 2 stars instead of 1 because I do like the food. But it’s not worth the hassle. Hello Jimmy John’s…
I loved this place. They were able to accommodate my party of 12 with short notice. We ordered pizza, salad and fries. Everything was delicious! Slices are huge! The owner was so kind to double slice one of the pizzas for the kids. I would definitely come back again for great customer service and yummy pizza! Support local !
Friendly staff, clean, and food was good. I ordered a Med sub, chips, tea, and cookie. Enjoyed it. Likely the best choice from all the food places around the park.
I decided to order from Fairlington Pizza because I was VERY hungry and knew if I selected carefully I could end up with enough food for two meals. So I ordered Chicken Breast Burger with fries and a soda, Chicken Steak Sub, Carrot Cake, and Onion Rings.
The food arrived within a reasonable time and still hot. The burger was so big it had to be slightly folded to enter the container and the amount of fries were, as you can, more than enough to make anybody happy.
The Onion Rings were huge, thickly sliced and well battered. And, once again, still warm.
The Carrot Cake was a surprise as it also had raisins. I am not really a fan of raisins by themselves but when added to cake or pudding they can improve a dessert greatly. Which they did. The Carrot Cake was great. I would even suggest that is was equal to the Carrot Cake served by the Carrot Tree down near Jamestown.
The Chicken Steak Sub was saved for the next day and was easy to heat up as it was already in tinfoil. And it was pretty good also.
Even the soda was cold because it was in its own little bag - kept away from the hot stuff.
In the future, if I ever want a lot of good food for a few meals because I am too lazy to cook for myself, or I have a friend over, I'm ordering from Fairlington Pizza.
Addition - Ordered food delivery a few days ago. This time got a Fish Sandwich and a Veggie Sub and the side of Onion Rings and of course the great Carrot Cake. The order was delivered within 40 minutes and the food was nice and hot. The Fish sandwich was perfect and I swear the Carrot Cake slice looked bigger than last time. The Veggie Sub was saved for the next day and the Rings were perfect. No complaints. And still five out of five. Just some more photos!
Addition - Ordered a New York Style Cheese Pizza, Onion Rings, and once again their Carrot Cake. Nothing add but wish I could give them more than five stars. They deliver the food on time and warm during rush hour on a weekend. And yes, I live near DC, we have rush hours on the weekends too.
Update - Not much to add. Ordered delivery and found the Root Beer they use is Mug Root Beer. Which I think is the best Root Beer. And they still have the best Onion Rings.
