Side Door Pizza & Earlybird DC

This delicious Detroit style pizza will have you coming back for more. It is so filling and packed with flavor. I got half pepperoni and half meat lovers, and it comes with their sauce on top. Each order comes with a side of ranch and hot peppers that complement the pizza very well. I also ordered some garlic parm wings. The wings were so crispy! Even with the wet sauce on top, you'll still get a crunch. I would suggest ordering ahead of time cause you will have to wait a little bit BUT totally worth the wait. The service was good and the staff was friendly. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Side Door pizza definitely lives up to its name. Located in SE, DC you would pass right by if you were not paying attention. You place your order through the kiosk. They have plenty of offerings besides pizza.I happened to visit during restaurant week so I was able to get an appetizer, a small pizza and a dessert for $30.I tried the chicken parm pizza which a decent sized portion for a small. The pizza is Detroit style so thick crust toppings on the bottom and sauce on the top. The crust was the perfect. The sauce was sweet and tangy. If I am in the mood for a deep dish pizza I would make this a top pick.

I'm really enjoy SidebDoor Pizza. I'd rank it second for my favorite pizza place in the area after Wiseguys. Sometimes you just want a nice, thick piece of pizza and Side Door does not disappoint. Is it overpriced for the amount of pizza you get, yes. But is it worth it, also yes. The small pizza is four slices. I'm usually full after the second one so it serves as two servings for me. Honestly, no complaints. If you like bread, you'll enjoy Side Door pizza, apparently this is Detroit style. I'm simple, my go to is the pepperoni pizza and it hits every time. My biggest gripe was they use to only open after 5PM, but now I think you can place an order for any time.

I've heard lots of great things about this place, but the food was just ok for me. I had the pizza bundle which was an unbelievable deal!! You get a large pizza and three sides for like $55- i had the regular cheese pizza with wings, risotto balls, and the Caesar salad as my sides. The pizza was pretty undercooked- the dough was so soft when you bit into it. So that was unfortunate. Then the risotto balls were gummy, the cheese that was used didn't congeal well, like other balls I've had. The wings were ok. Some things I really liked were the fast service, and the inside reminded me of an old school pizza place where it's nothing but a service counter and kitchen in the back.

Breakfast burritos are on point! I'm originally from California and it boggles my mind that more places out here don't make breakfast burritos and if they do, good ones. Luckily, Earlybird is here! The burrito was folded perfectly and warm, cheesy, and just delicious. In general all the food at Side Door/Early Bird is pretty good, especially their Detroit-style pizza. The owner, staff, and chef were all very nice too!

Was walking around the area and wanted something to eat, spotted this place and saw they had a corn pizza so I had to try! Well worth the wait for the quality and freshness! Ordered on the screen inside but the lady behind the counter offered assistance if I had any questions! I thought it was great that you can get two flavors in one!

Overpriced, I got a cheeseburger pizza(my first mistake lol), and the toppings were paltry. I've made Detroit pizza before with All Recipes Chef John's recipe, and I should've done that, since it's not that hard to make(you don't even need a mixer!). But live and learn, I'd rather go to Ivy and Coney since it's a full service bar and restaurant with better pizza and more food options.

We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott, close to Side Door, last weekend, during Hurricane Debby. We didn't want to go too far, so between the rain bands we made our way to this gem of a take out place.The breakfast sandwiches were huge and wonderful and the coffee hit the spot. We were so impressed with this place that we ordered a deep dish pizza, for lunch, the next day. Again, it was delicious and one of the best pizzas we've ever had.

I came into town for a conference and after a long day of traveling, I was looking for something quick and close to my hotel. Luckily, I found Side Door. The pizza was fresh and was amazing. The service was fast and friendly. I'll be back before the end of this trip.

Was in town for a conference and found this gem on Yelp. This pizza was amazing. I am originally from Detroit and have had this style but they knocked it out. The salad was fantastic too and enough to share and still have leftovers. If I am back in the area this will be a MUST stop for me.
