The pizza was delicious and well done. My waitress was very attentive, quick and proposed a beer tasting in order to select the best one for the evening. It was a throughly delightful evening. Heartily recommended!

Visited Washington for a week, and this place had the best pizza I’ve ever had hands down! The food was incredible, the service was top-notch, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. What really stood out was they even had a separate oven dedicated to gluten-free pizzas, which was a huge plus. If you’re in town and love pizza, this spot is an absolute must-visit!

I really loved this place. The pizza was cooked to perfection, and they use high quality ingredients! I really want to go back to try out other dishes. Five stars!

All Purpose is some of the best pizza I ever had anywhere. A hidden gem, I go once a week. The happy hour/ pizza hour is an excellent deal as well, $7 wine and mini martinis AND $11 pizza! Are you kidding me ?!?!? My go to is the Bueno pizza, pepperoni and honey, and Cesar salad. Don’t sleep on the dippers, the parmesan dip is addictive. Also, make sure you check out the specials, they have great options sometimes like Hawaiian and BBQ chicken. There was also a Julep and Pomodoro (tomato liquor) cocktail that were delish and STRONG. Great service as well :) can’t wait until they bring the brussel sprouts back in the fall.

I love this place. The menu is full of classic pizzas and a few more interesting combos. The lil dippers are a fun addition for your pizza crusts - highly recommend that. My one critique is that everything could use a stronger sprinkle of salt. That said, the pizza and beers and tasty, and the service is friendly and quick. Great place for a slice!
