Italian Pizza Kitchen

Date of service: 11.9.24Ambiance: cute and roomier than I expected looking from the outside. Indoor & outdoor dining option. Staff/Customer service: it was okFood: my daughter and I were in the area for an all star volleyball game at UDC. We arrived early to get dinner before the game. We had two personal pan pizzas and shared a Caesar salad, mozzarella sticks and two lemonades. The pizza was cooked in a brick oven, flaky puffy crust and the flavor was pretty good. I wish I had a little more cheese on our pizzas but the homemade marinara sauce made up for it with its' sweet taste. Recommend: it's a little on the pricey side. I paid about $85 for this meal. Wasn't expecting that. I was expecting maybe $50 at least. They added gratuity to our two(2) person party which I was shocked to learn. I didn't notice that disclaimer from all of the text on the menu. I would say give it a try once. It wouldn't be a place I'd return simply because I don't believe we should've paid that much for 6 slice personal pan pizzas S/N: on street parking is very limited. Use garage parking across the street or two blocks up. I drove up & down Connecticut Avenue 5 times before finding a space

If you want to pay $24 for a Domino's pizza with even less flavor, go right ahead.Prices and photos are intentionally misleading online. Bread:cheese:sauce ratios were so off. It's like eating bland bread with too much cheese. Literally no idea how they're still in business. Probably all the lazy apartment people nearby.

I placed an order for pick up to get some pizzas for a work event today. Honestly, the order was wasted on a work event, because they have some really cool and unique pizzas I'd love to try! I got a cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza, and their Hawaiian pizza, plus a few order of mozzarella sticks. The pizzas were ready when I stopped by at my pick up time, and the cashier was very nice. The restaurant looked warm and welcoming. The food was all delicious. The mozzarella sticks were only warm when we finally ate them, but pretty good. The pizzas were great, though, and got great reviews from everyone, which is hard to do! I'm a big Hawaiian pizza fan, and their Hawaiian had really good ham and little tomatoes on it, which added a nice extra something that made it stand out. Three 16 inch pizzas was more than enough for 8 people- we could have gotten 2 and still had a couple pieces left over. It's nice to have a new go-to pizza place in the area for work functions! I would love to go to the restaurant myself for dinner.

The service was great and they were very friendly. The food we got was delicious. I went a few days ago and I asked for a little extra tomato sauce... they gave me a big bowl of it. They always make every customer the #1 priority. The only downsides were the price and the food was a little dry. Otherwise good.

ASTOUNDING. This establishment is amazing! The Italian is authentic, our waitress was superb, the food was delicious, and our experience was phenomenal!My friend and I absolutely love this place. We visited twice in less than a week to get a taste of a few dishes. Regrettably I only took one picture of their tiramisu. But all of the food was FANTASTIC. The cannoli was the BEST I ever had.I can't believe how kind the waitress was! She served us the last cannoli available! I recommend this place to everyone who goes DC, to visit this hidden gem. Can't wait to visit again!!Very clean, organized, authentic and humble ambiance.

Stopped in for a quick lunch on the weekend. The menu had a lot of options but we decided to play it safe with a calzone and a side of fries. The calzone was stuffed with cheese and pepperoni- but almost seemed like it need a few more mins in the oven, some of the cheese wasn't completely melted. Sadly, the fries came out soft and very blonde. We asked them to stick them into the fryer again to crisp them up, but when they came back - they were only a little brown on the edges and still lacked any kind of crunch or flavor. Service was quick and efficient!

Ordered lasagna and a meatball Stromboli. The lasagna was good. Great sauce. Perfection. And some yummy garlic bread. The Stromboli was a miss. The dough was good but it was more like ground beef than meatballs. I like the fresh new look of the interior.

Went in right before closing to order a spinach and caramelized onion pizza, but got a pepperoni pizza instead. Did not realize it until I returned home, but IPK was nice enough to refund my money.

It's classic mediocre Italian food. The ingredients they use aren't great so the dishes could never be better.It's also super slow, but that could just be an off night.

Pizza had thick doughy crust with no sauce in the middle absolutely nastyyyy. I thought maybe it was just one piece that didn't have enough sauce, but it was every slice. There was also a gritty texture to the sauce that was there.
