Wiseguy Pizza serves up satisfyingly cheesy, late-night New York-style slices in D.C., with a fun vibe and a tempting variety of toppings.
"When nothing but a big, two-handed slice of New York-style pizza will do, consider this local pizzeria. There’s also impressive garlic knots and a menu of cauliflower crust pies for gluten-free folks. Its newest locale just debuted in Dupont." - Tierney Plumb, Tim Ebner
"If you’re looking for a good slice, Wiseguy is the only place to get it. Unlike a lot of slices in the city, these snap back to that freshly cooked state when they’re reheated. The cheese is stringy, the sauce is tangy, the crust is crispy. No hardness, dryness, or staleness here. And while they’re not jumbo-sized, these Chinatown slices are at least as big as a football. Which means a single is usually enough for a quick lunch, but you’ll still probably want two to soak up a night out. The shop is extra popular on Fridays and Saturdays, when it’s open until 4am. So come when it’s busy if you want to watch folks stumble in and out after haphazardly making their way from 7th Street. " - tristiana hinton

"It’s not jumbo slice, but it is about as good as New York style pizza gets in D.C. (though Andy’s has been giving it some competition lately). Wiseguy serves up pizza, garlic knots, and chicken rolls until 3 a.m. on weekends. and midnight on Thursdays at its D.C. locations (Arlington closes earlier)." - Missy Frederick, Eater Staff
"If I have a craving for a New York–style slice, Wiseguy Pizza comes the closest in D.C. But as any true New Yorker knows, there's no such thing as truly authentic NY pizza outside of New York."
