Great outdoor space. A lot of people were hosting baby showers and birthday parties- so it's a flexible venue. There's also a lounge/chic vibe in another room and then a more low key bar vibe in another area! Lots of options. Pizza was crispy and flavorful!

I'm honestly always looking for new places to take a big group of friends for dinner or drinks and Sonny's has skyrocketed to the top of my list. A few notes from my visit:1. You can order from a QR code but they also have waiters who stop by the table to take your order. Love the optionality, ensures that you're virtually never waiting for food or drinks. 2. The "lunch tray" style pizzas are super nostalgic, taste great, and are perfect for sharing. 3. Any place that has an interesting wine list that includes affordable local bottles is a winner in my book. Cocktails were also solid. 4. Gluten free pizza options means no one gets left out of the fun. Seriously - this place rules. Next time you're looking for a spot for a get together, run (don't walk) to Sonny's

Awesome for large groups. Have been with several large groups, and i've hosted a surprise party here with 35 people. It is great for spreading out, kid friendly, has great pizza and drink options, and lets you bring your own dessert! I love the outdoor patio. It's insulated enough you really don't need to worry about the weather.

This place is fine. I ordered this pizza to split with 4 people which was plenty of food. Service was quick and friendly. Limited beer selection but definitely tasty. But after half a beer and a whole slice of pizza I threw everything up in the bathroom. The rest of my party was fine but I'm suspicious. Probably won't eat here again and wouldn't recommend it for food. Dying to get a cocktail in their lounge though.

We enjoyed the lunch tray style pizza, curvy (old world?) pepperoni that everyone loves, and both salad dressings. Seriously, the Caesar dressing was money. Sonny's entire dining room also FEELS like a lunch room with booths and a big common dining room. Unfortunately, we didn't see the value between the high wine/booze prices and added gratuity. Sonny's is the *first counter order restaurant (you also get/fill your own water) we've seen that adds a 20% gratuity. We'd encourage Sonny's to simply build in the 20% to their food cost to avoid sticker shock; it's confusing that the expos and ______ (we're unsure who else) receive 20% for walking your pizzas less than 20 feet from the kitchen to the table.

The adult consensus is that the pizza is "okay." The child really likes it because she didn't have to pay. Down to brass tax.As we ordered, each topping added to the cost of the pizza pie. Arugula costs $4.00, mushrooms cost $3.00, etc, so 1 pie ended up costing $50.00 bucks. We got 2 pies for a total of $80+ bucks because 1 pie was totally Vegan.There are no other options for Non-Pork eaters. There's no ground beef option, no turkey or beef pepperoni option, and their MEATBALLS CONTAIN PORK.I think my biggest gripe with this place is the fact that me, my black daughter, my black friend, and my Korean friend sat in this place to dine and the other diners who didn't look like us just kept gawking and glaring at us as if we weren't supposed to be there. And as soon as I made eye contact with them, they'd quickly avert their eyes in another direction. People don't know that I'm the type of person that will take my food to their table and sit down with them so that they can get a better look at me and get a better listen to the conversation in order for them to join in. I don't like eating at restaurants that make me feel that I shouldn't be there because if that's the case, my family, friends, and I won't go there and I'll advise others not to go there either.All in all, the cashier smiled while doing her job but wasn't much more pleasant than that and she gave us warm tap water in a pitcher with no ice. Oh, she did note that, "She doesn't make the prices."My take on this place is 3 of 5 stars. Customer service is mediocre, I've had better pizza from Rome's Pizza on Wisconsin Ave NW, Ledo's on GA Ave NW, the jumbo slices from Adams Morgan top this too, and shucks I'll even settle for Pizza Hut, or hop on the Mega Bus like my friend said to take the ride to NYC for a nice slice of Italian NYC pizza pie for this price to make a day trip out of it. & FYI: I do most of my reviews on Google where I have 3.9 million views. I'm new to Yelp, however, I'll be reviewing both here and Google now.

I was really excited to try this place out, I've heard about it from so many of my friends and after visiting I see why. It's just a great place to hangout with friends. They've got an amazing outdoor space in back and games for people to use. It's a great place for a larger gathering as well!The service is wonderful and staff are so friendly. The food and drink is great and looking forward to coming back.

Excellent pizza, excellent service, solid ambiance. I have been to Sonny's several times, most recently coming here for a friend's birthday on a weekend night and enjoyed the heated outdoor area. I split a cheese pizza with a friend and received great service, with someone coming to take our order quickly and receiving our pizza in under 10 minutes. I also appreciated that our server let us know that Sonny's had already added a gratuity charge so we didn't need to tip.The pizza is extremely good, a sheet-pan, almost Detroit-style pie. The crust was crispy on the outside, airy in the middle with great flavor. While I would have liked for a little less tomato sauce and more cheese, the sauce was hearty and not too sweet and the cheese was stretchy and melty.I would highly recommend Sonny's for your next casual pizza slice!

Really big fan of this establishment. It is clear they take pride in their product with great ingredients. The different vibes between the indoor/outdoor backyard garden, the cocktail bar, and the front store pizza shop is very unique and fun. I also think the wine membership is fantastic. The coffee house Doubles next door is also very good with similar characteristics. I look forward to coming back to both establishments for a long time!

I had, without exaggeration, one of the worst dining experiences of my life and it had nothing to do with the food, which is pretty ok.What wasn't ok was the gang of over 50 book-banging brigands who, in a hostile takeover, turned the place into their private reading room. They call themselves the Silent Book Club and apparently they do this prolifically at hip-casual dining establishments across the country.The harbinger of their coming was the obnoxious ringing of a handbell. As we sat down to eat they paraded past the hostess and staff, spreading across the entire dining area for maximum dispersion, and declaring they would be reading among us, requiring ABSOLUTE SILENCE. This isn't just some book club, this is a bunch of people who invade a shared space so they can INDIVIDUALLY read THEIR OWN book.Now listen, I read (lol) and I have no problem with people who enjoy reading in public. I also get that in the engagement-driven world we live in, it is becoming more difficult for people to read long-form content, and rarer in the physical medium.I have a problem with people who feel compelled to read very conspicuously, in places where it doesn't make any sense to, as a means to signal their status as literati. I have a problem with people who latch onto a superficial novelty to enshrine a contrarian critique of their peers to whom they are otherwise 99.9% alike. I have a problem with unhealthy obsession with the primitive as a very narrow answer to modern ailments.You know who I'm talking about. The man-bun who's meditating, in lotus pose of course, on the metro during rush hour. That anthropology major friend who wants to talk about how much better agrarian society was, ignoring feudalism and the plague. The guy wearing non-rx glasses who wants to discuss Nietzsche in the middle of a frat rager. Your cousin who studied abroad in London for half a summer and is now cultured and worldly. Sonny's was hosting the premier conference for these people.Do you know how much noise you make when you're eating? Not like talking and laughing, you know, things people enjoy while dining out. I mean just the act of eating. You will if you have to do it in the silence of the grave, under threat of piercing glances and exaggerated scoffing. Just sipping ice water becomes a car wreck, and food definitely tastes worse when you have to focus on chewing as slowly and noiselessly as possible.Worst of all was seeing how terrified the workers were and how arrogantly they were being treated by this cult of the book; that was beyond the pale. Diners can tolerate the temporary shame of disturbing this sacred ritual of sonic abstinence, but for the staff it's clear they've been directed to cater to every whim or risk their livelihoods.These readers were definitely on some power trip, waving and pantomiming and finally, only with great irritation, airily whispering their orders. Their mission statement is illuminating: "every time I open a book at home I get interrupted so we are creating a space where we can just commit to reading silently". So pretty much they have no agency at home, so they go out and appropriate a space to lord their authority over service workers, yeah ok.And since they were so enraptured by their reading, they barely ordered anything but sodas and apps, so you know the tips were smaller than the font in your favorite fantasy novel. I learned later they don't even pay to use the space, they just say ahead of time when they're showing up. Shame on management for allowing their employees to suffer these indignities!The hilarious part is it's obvious these people don't even read, what with how novel and interesting they seem to think reading makes them look. This is reinforced by their apparent lack of familiarity with libraries, you know, those public places where you can go and read individually in enforced silence among other book enjoyers. Apparently the only permissible breach of the noise taboo was to loudly, and agonizingly slowly, turn your page, signaling to the other drones your advancement in the way of the book.Half of them were engrossed in perennial, highbrow titles like "1984", "Crime and Punishment", "Fahrenheit 451", etc.; pretty much your high school English syllabus. The other half were elevating their books in positions optimized for outward visibility of the cover, but I can't imagine positioning a book vertically at eye level and at arms length is particularly conducive to reading. It's all a classic case of someone touching grass and immediately harassing others to do so.This has all really soured my impression of Sonny's and I doubt I will be returning for risk of experiencing the sequel. I could barely get the check without a hurricane of shushing. A draft of The Winds of Winter must have been taped on my back because I could feel the glare of a hundred eyes on me as I declined to tiptoe out the door.
