Pete's New Haven Style Apizza

Putting “New Haven” and “Apizza” in the name doesn’t make a normal oven pizza New Haven style. There are actual characteristics that make a pizza a certain style, and slapping a name on it doesn’t cut it. Aggressively average for “good pizza”.

Great pizza!

Well done cheese is delectable

Love it!! Here on business for 2 months, wish I stopped soon

This pizza was not cooked in a coal fired oven like traditional New Haven pizza. I will say the pizza was tasty and had a light crispy crust but it’s missing the coal fired char!!! If this same pizza was cooked in a coal oven it would be way better and actually New Haven style. I would eat it again.

Love the crunch and the cheese was delicious. Great taste, not overly greasy; just a really good pie.

Tastes like seafood, but not fishy. Only floppage due to my weak hold, charred undercarriage. If you’re into white clam, about as good as it gets.

Ordered the Tomato Pie and the Cheese. Neither were great. Dough was doughy and there was too much cheese on the Cheese. They cook these in a deck oven and not a coal fire oven. Cannot be called "apizza" without coal fire. Tasted like chain pizza.

Solid!

Really crisp crust and piping hot. Very fresh ingredients and good texture.

It’s not really New Haven Apizza, but it’s pretty good. Little undercooked and they didn’t have any clams. Too many toppings makes it’s soggy.

Best pizza in the DMV, when i saw on maps the name of this place i had to stop. I been to new haven, to rosas in boston and joes in NYC so i know my pie. This pizza had the best taste around. Potential for the 9s if it was a little less flop and grease. Regardless still yet to find a better place in the DMV area.

One of the better DC pizzas. Sauce is light, crust is crunchy.

I am from NY originally and have done multiple one bite reviews. After hearing Dave talk about New Haven Style and how it is the best, I had to try Pete's. Much like Dave, I am pretty discerning about my pizza, especially as a native NYer. I had this delivered, and even like warm, it was the perfect crisp, undercarriage, flavor with zero flop I have ever had! I am blown away. It is worth the trip. Run, do not walk, to try this pizza!

Very good pizza. Good crust and under carriage. Non flop

This is really good pizza but it’s too thick to be New Haven apizza. About half the pie had a garlic taste while the other half had a more apizza flavor. Sauce was sweet but crust was average. Pretty damn good for this part of the country.

It was just like New Haven and believe me I’m from there

Score relative to other DC pizza places. I’m from nyc and this is the closest to a NYC style as you’ll get that in my opinion isn’t bad. Dc is flush with fancy pizza places but this style is what this town needs.

One of the best in the DC area. Crispy, chewy crust and just an overall solid pie.

Doesn’t come close to the pizza of its namesake, but an earnest pie for the DC area
