It's pretty hard to get tired of pizza. Fortunately, local restaurateurs are always opening new places or coming up with new pies to keep things interesting.
Here are several new additions to the scene this year. Featured here are new restaurants and pizza spots with new chefs. This map features a couple of chains, but it's worth noting Rockville recently got its own Mellow Mushroom, and a few more &pizza and Matchbox locations opened this year. Chain pizzeria Naked Pizza also rebranded as NKD (though lost a location along the way) and unveiled a more contemporary look along with some menu changes.
This list also highlights several different styles. The wood-fired Neapolitan trend doesn't show any signs of waning, but D.C. now has more options for St. Louis-Style, New Jersey, Chicago deep-dish, and even Sicilian.
Plus, even more pizza is on the horizon. Little Coco's (Jackie Greenbaum's new Italian restaurant), Casolare (Michael Schlow's fourth D.C. area restaurant), and the second Lupo Verde in Palisades should all have it on their menus when they open later this summer.
