"Flavors from chef Mike Friedman’s New Jersey childhood take on new life on deck oven-baked crusts topped with ingredients spanning from hen-of-the-woods mushrooms to ‘nduja and capicola bacon. The original can be found in Shaw, and its waterfront sibling is in Navy Yard. A casual offshoot called AP Pizza Shop brought deck-oven pies to Bethesda earlier this year. Start with the baked eggplant Parm, and save half of your pizza for later. Open at 5 p.m. for takeout in Shaw and Navy Yard, delivery via DoorDash and Caviar, and on-site dining, with weekend brunch now available at both." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
