We stopped in on a whim at about 6:30 on Mother's Day. The place was packed by the list moved quickly and we had a table in less than 10 minutes. The ambiance reminded me of restaurants in Italy. Pizza and meatball calzone (I got two meals out of this) were both yummy. I wasn't impressed with my salad. It... More

Food was great & the manager was very accommodating after we waited well past the quoted wait time. Realizing we were on a time crunch (I mean we had to be in/out within an hour & half) the manager squeezed us in & must have put a rush on our meal ticket because our food came out very quickly &...

The pizza was good, I just like more sauce than they pit on, maybe I should have asked for more. The waiter was very attentive. The only negative was that the hallway to the bathroom smelled like raw seafood, yucky!

Excellent Pizza, unique beer list and average service but worth it! If you are looking for good thin crust pizza, don't pass up this place, pizza was very good.

We ate here our first night in DC. It is just a 5 - 10 minute walk from the Marriott Metro Center (our hotel). We (3 of us) each ordered a pizza - although the menu does offer pasta, and other menu items. Service was quick - and our waiter was very friendly. The atmosphere is pleasant, and as we... More

Ordered take-out here this evening after a long day spent at American Art Museum and Ford's Theater. I wanted to spare the customers of dining with my 4 overly exhausted children. The place was recommended to me by a docent at the Art Museum. We were very pleased with the food. We ordered a couple pizzas and a salad for... More

If you wish to walk 8-10 blocks off the mall area to free yourself from over priced museum cafe's which serve few options this is a great pizza/italian restaurant. This place not only has great pizza and friendly wait staff but a nice beer list to boot. My personal favorite is Allagash White (belgium beer) and they happened to have... More

We were looking for pizza while on vacation in DC and came across Ella's. The pizza was amazing and the environment relaxed and family- friendly. A great meal.
