All Purpose may be one of DC’s newest restaurants, but it’s already got dozens of positive reviews from area foodies. If you’re looking to keep up with the ever-changing restaurant scene, consider heading on over next time you find yourself craving pizza and a cold beer.

This pizzeria is equipped with a state-of-the-art deck oven that cooks your pie from all angles simultaneously, which means you’ll get a consistently crispy crust on bottom and evenly melted cheese on top, just as you like it. Try the kitchen’s signature pie topped with mozzarella, scamorza, sweet red peppers, and giardiniera, or go for the customer-favorite Seaside pie topped with littleneck clams, fresh sweet corn, and smoked guanciale. The restaurant also serves a variety of other Italian-style small plates to share, including things like fried calamari served with a chili aioli and crostini topped with cherry tomatoes, garlic scapes, and parmesan.
