This morning, I noticed a reference to a local pizzeria coming up as number two slice in the USA, which is not the same as their best pizzerias in the USA list. So, a couple of hours later, I checked out Slice and Pie at 14th and Florida Avenue, a small pizzeria with very limited seating.

I tried the Detroit Style with peperoni and honey, BBQ Brisket collaboration with Federalist Pig, and (plain) Cheese. I don’t know if this spot is really number two slice in the country, but it puts out some really good slices. I was surprised at how much I liked the BBQ slice (white garlic base, mozzarella, Federalist Pig Smoked Brisket, caramelized onions, pickled onions, pickled jalapeno, potato, sticky garlic sauce) and will definitely return to try some other slices soon.

Also, not by the slice, but you can order a New England Clam Pie or a variety of Gluten Free options.

The only pizzeria on the best pizzeria in the USA list on the top 50 anywhere near DC is in Baltimore and came in at number 50.
