This week the DC Dinner Club will eat Italian with a patriotic American twist at We, The Pizza, former Top Chef contestant Spike Mendelsohn's new restaurant on Capitol Hill.We, The Pizza arrived on the Capitol Hill scene in July 2010, and the clubbers are anxious to see if Mendelsohn does pizza as well as he does burgers (Good Stuff Eatery, next door, is a favorite of several clubbers). His hope in opening the restaurant was to establish a laid back environment and use simple ingredients to create New York style pizza.
Dinner will be at 6:30 PM, and two clubbers, Matt and Abby, will arrive between 6 and 6:15 PM to begin gathering seats. Any other clubbers who can make it are also encouraged to come early, and if you'd like, check out the menu ahead of time.
The restaurant is located at 305 Pennsylvania Ave., SE. Here are directions from the Capitol South Metro Station, which is just over a quarter mile away.
And remember, "All we are saying, is give (pizza) a chance." -John Lennon, as adapted by We, The Pizza
