The last stop on my Washington, DC pizza tour was Ella’s Pizza with Kim. A couple blocks from Matchbox and right near the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery that I visited a couple days previous.
Their menu are mostly Neapolitan-style and specialty individual pizzas. I decided to try their Quattro Formaggi and it was fantastic. Crust was a bit enough but just crispy enough and burnt just the right amount. Wood fired pizza many times can be victim to too much burnt crust and my pizza at Ella’s was just perfect in that regard.
The cheeses were tasty and just the right amount for a cheese pizza. A bit gooey, but that’s what you get in Quattro Formaggi. Kim got their Bosco Pizza which she enjoyed.
The space was nice, just roomy enough and our service was friendly. I bet this place gets really packed if there’s an event at the Verizon Center though. Their dessert menu was great but we didn’t partake, deciding to get tea at Teaism a couple blocks away instead.
I’ll definitely be back. If I was in Penn Quarter and had to choose between Ella’s and Matchbox, I’d pick Ella’s hands down. It was oh so tasty — one of my favorite pizzas in DC.

I am upset that you keep posting pictures of pizza on your blog. Why don’t you just take all of my cravings and mock them, torturing me with your vivid photography…
