Jumbo Slice Pizza

Nothing better than the hottest, cheesiest, pepperoni pizza after one a long day, and even longer night dancing and drinking in the District area. Hung out in DC for a few days. On this night had a few dranks and needed something to soak it all up with. It was a late Sunday night and most places were either closed or to far from our location. So we walked over to Jumbo and ordered a couple of slices of pizza. The place was quiet so not wait. We placed out order and waited about 20 minutes with NO idea what to expect. My mind said a measly slice of burnt paper with a dash of cheese and sever heart burn. but to my suprise...it was sooooo the opposite (gooey, hot, cheesy, pepperoni) and BOY did this place not disappoint! And the staff was very nice. I would highly recommend this spot if you're in the area and want some drunk night goodness.

The name says it all, this place sells jumbo slices of pizza that are twice as large as your head. It's pretty much the perfect late night drunk food. We came here around 2 AM and they were out of any slices that had veggies on them. I guess if you're out that late, it's not worth trying to be too healthy right? We got the meat slice (ham, sausage, and pepperoni) instead and it hit the spot. The pizza itself is definitely not the best -- it's pretty rubbery and difficult to eat by picking it up. We had to cut it up or rip with our hands since it wasn't strong enough to be lifted. I would probably only come back during late nights out because that's when it will taste the best!

I mean, this pizza place is exactly what you would want on a drunken night out. My first time trying this was a few months ago and it was probably the best pizza I've ever had, but I had I had a little bit to drink?yes, actually a lot . My second time coming, here was about a week ago, and it was after a comedy show, and I was not nearly as intoxicated. The food was pretty cold, so my boyfriend kindly asked them to please reheat it, and they actually laughed at him. they reheated it while giving attitude the entire time and it still wasn't even warm when we got it back. Did I still eat it? Yes. Will I come back on another night out? Yes What can I say, there's a time and a place for high expectations and this isn't it

This place is definitely interesting! Lives up to the late night, sketchy, street food name. The pizza slices are definitely jumbo, so I'll give them that! And they are open til 0230 so that's another plus. That might be where the positives end. I ordered the Buffalo chicken slice for $11. The slice fills up the whole box and is even folded over a little at the end. The chicken was rubbery and had almost no Buffalo flavor. It also had a red sauce base which I find really off putting for Buffalo chicken pizza. It was not hot when we received the pizza and we were even in the store waiting for it, not like we waited for delivery and it had time to cool down. My friend got the mozzarella sticks (which she did accidentally drop on the floor and the nice people replaced them for her free of charge so that was really nice), but they weren't even hot. How do you have "fresh" fried mozzarella sticks that aren't even hot?? The place itself is very dirty, tiles falling off the wall and bugs flying around. I know this is a late night place and I'm probably being harsh, but with so many pizza options I would recommend trying somewhere else.

Washington, DC has slowly morphed into what can be best summarized by something I saw in someone's dating profile as "the Chipotle of cities," but Jumbo Slice Pizza is a remnant of a time past when DC was a force beyond copy and paste architecture and management consultant swamp creatures who achieve and do nothing for a living.Is Jumbo Slice the best pizza in terms of technique or taste? Of course not. Is it divine at 2 AM when you're drenched in sweat, your shoes sticky from having stepped in lord knows what, a bit tipsy (or a lot tipsy) and you're craving something...anything? Hell yes!Some of my best memories of being broke and hungry but finally being satiated are at Jumbo Slice and maybe it speaks to some nostalgic romanticizing, but those memories are certainly cherished and I look back at this place with fondness beyond just food. Adam's Morgan was a place that was festive and fun and you'd show up here with expectations and somehow those expectations would be exceeded even with only a few bucks in your pockets.Considering I've witnessed multiple individuals drop their slices (face down) on the sidewalk and then proceeding pick up and consume that same slice, that has to be worth something. The jumbo slices are greasy, don't hold up well, and may leave your tummy rumbling the next day, but embrace them with the reckless abandon of youth because the moments you share with good company over gratuitously large slices of oil dripping pizza in those in-between moments between "the big stuff" is what is truly meaningful in life. I remember a constant buzz of energy during the late night hours at this place in the early 2000's when DC had a vibrancy and unique culture outside the industry of feckless ineptitude of the Federal government and hollow suits. You can't put a price tag on the most worthwhile exhibitions in your memory's museum, but the best memories often cost $0.00 and I certainly remember the jumbo slices manifesting themselves in my hands through the kindness of others even when I was down to $0.00 of my own, but even when I had a few bucks to rub together this place never broke the bank so you always spotted someone else a slice when you had abundance enough to share.I honestly don't know if I'll ever set foot in DC ever again, considering the city's downward spiral into a third rate version of Boston with far less interesting people, but I will forever cherish the joys of a jumbo slice on 18th Street NW when you could party like it was Mardi Gras every visit to this strip and finish with the perfect post party slice of slightly gross but perfectly satisfying greasy goodness.

If you you happen to be out, having a good time on 18th St, and you find yourself looking for a meal after midnight, don't forget to take a pit stop at Jumbo Slice Pizza for a slice...or two! It's located in the heart of Adam's Morgan, and while the line to order might seem long, it's definitely worth it.I'm pretty used to not having any restaurants around me that stay open past 10pm, let alone 2:30am -- so this made me happy. My friend ordered a "Jumbo Cheese Pizza Slice" and I ordered a "Jumbo Supreme Pizza Slice" with almost all the toppings you could think of (cheese, pepperoni, Italian sausage, ground beef, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, ham, black olives and basil). I definitely underestimated their definition of "jumbo," but I've never been more content to spend $8 on a slice of pizza larger than the size of my head. For those of you wondering, I ate it all and proudly at that.Definitely check this place out (I'm thinking the earlier the better so they don't run out of your favorite toppings). I know I'll be coming back!

Getting called sir isn't something I appreciate. Nothing like being in one of DCs most gay friendly neighborhoods to be misgendered and called sir while trying to just grab some food. The slice was good, but overall I cannot give this business a good rating after the way I was treated.NOT LGBTQ FRIENDLYI was contacted by the manager or owner to apologize for the incident, but when he contacted me he apologize on behalf of a male employee who he believed to be responsible. This wasn't even the person who was responsible. He claimed it was an older gentlemen who.

I love Jumbo Slice Pizza just because it's the place you can go in Adams Morgan to get a simple big slice of pizza. It's been around forever and always incites some nostalgia in me from when I first was in D.C. many moons ago.I came recently during the COVID-19 pandemic and it's definitely weird to see the lobby barren. Albeit, that slice of pepperoni is still amazing and worth the ~$7! It's hard for me to not want to get a slice from here after hanging around Adams Morgan having a couple drinks.Thanks for a slice of heaven JSP, even in these crazy 2020 times we're living in!

SO. GOOD. After drinking. cheese pulls. Absolutely massive, but a bit expensive ($9).

Good edge crust however, the rest of the pizza was poor. It was like a day old slice reheated. The center crust was soggy saturated with dried out sauce. It was not fresh tasting.
