Side Door Pizza

The brussel sprouts were delicious, 5/5. The wings were flavorless & the texture wasn't good 1/5. The mushroom pizza seemed to be missing the figs; it wasn't good and it wasn't bad 3/5. Overall, 2.5/5; I wouldn't go back except for the sprouts, especially considering how expensive it was!

I was extremely excited to try this pizza. Especially on National Detroit Pizza Day. I arrived at 6:25 went inside and was greeted. I confirmed that they do not sell by the slice so I'm prepared to buy a whole pizza. I was then told they aren't taking any pickup orders. Because they were "slam" due to the promotion?? The website doesn't state there's a promotion. But anyways I said no worries as I'm leaving out someone else is coming in picking up an order. So I turn around and say well should I call in to place an order? They said "oh no you can't do that either they ordered before the cut- off time." Mind you the hours are 5pm-10pm. So what time was the cut off time?? I got a weird feeling when I walked in to begin with. NEVER AGAIN.

Updated: I've been participating in the National Days all June, so I was aware of what day it was, that's why I was there. This was my first time trying and hearing of this restaurant. I wouldn't go to social media to see what's going on. I'm going to GOOGLE to see reviews as well the website to see "promotions", which was not on the website. Hopefully one day I can return and hope to try the pizza. Thank you for your consideration and response.

Not gonna lie… I’m pretty disappointed, especially for the price. I’ve heard great things and was excited to try. Very basic. I was very disappointed that the cheese sticks and cheese pizza are the exact same thing with the exception of the sauce on the side or on top of the pizza. Case and point: they just baked a normal size cheese pizza, put sauce on half and cut the “cheese sticks” smaller (see pic). If I was to go again, I would try a different combo than all cheese.

Honestly… Red Light is better in DC for Detroit Style pizza locally. Wise Guys and Emmy Squared (chain or not it’s better) for Navy Yard.

Does have some outdoor picnic tables for those that want to get there food and eat there.

Disappointing first-time ordering from Side Door. Admittedly I used a delivery service, but my pizza arrived in under an hour so I don't think it was their fault.

First, my order was wrong. I ordered half pepperoni, half meatball, but only received pepperoni. Pizza was so soggy it was soaking through the box. And not with grease... It was literally wet. I've had Detroit style pizza before and have never once had this issue.

Also ordered wings. Side door should really consider poking steam holes in their containers like other restaurants so the food doesn't get mushy.

Huge bummer compared to the other great reviews here. I feel like I wasted money and can't say I'm willing to try them again.

Do you see those photos? Do you see it. I mean the awesome soft pizza to a crust of perfection. The Louie and the pepperoni pizza. This is good fresh, warmed up or cold. It doesn't get any better than this. I love these places that are not franchised. Better pizza more love in the food. If you have not had it get it. They close at 10 PM. Good for late night snacks and such. This pizza is so good you going to want your own. No sharing.

Hands down one of the best pizza joints in the city! They continue to expand their offerings, the pizzas are always hot, cheesy, perfect crust, lots of toppings, ample sauce, and on time! The wings are amazing too! Oh, and while you wait you can drop into Scarlet Oak and get some of the best service in Navy Yard! Definitely recommend picking up in person so you can meet their friendly staff and ownership!

Side Door is one of the best Detroit style pizzas I have had in a long time. Not only is the pizza delicious but they also have Great customer service. I will for sure be having this every trip I make to DC. Highly recommend you try this the next time you are in DC!!
