Side Door Pizza in the Navy Yard area is a standout spot for Detroit-style pizza in Washington DC. Pizzas arrive with a crisp exterior and soft interior and generous Wisconsin brick and mozzarella cheeses with a double stripe of tangy sauce on top. The pepperoni pizza and specialty Fahgettaboudit pie with Italian sausage, roasted peppers, and grilled onions are bold and full of character. Risotto balls add a fun side option and breakfast burritos offered earlier in the day are large and packed with flavor.  A distinctive red neon sign makes the entrance hard to miss. The place also offers accessible Wi‑Fi and easy online ordering for pickup or delivery. The staff here is welcoming and attentive. This place ranks among the best casual pizza stops in the neighborhood.
