Pizza is a lot like fashion these days.
On one end of the spectrum, you’ve got your politically questionable, cheaply made, lowest-common-denominator crap. On the other: overhyped, overpriced, fancy-for-shmancy’s-sake stuff.
Where are the good old Levi’s and T-shirts of the late-night to-go world?
At Astor Restaurant. The Greek-Mediterranean place you usually think of for falafel has some of the most delicious pizza around. Each choice is the perfect combination of fresh, inspired ingredients and cheap, old-school simplicity. Try the Egyptian with eggplant and garlic or the Greek with olives, tomatoes, feta, and gyro meat. Or choose from the impressive list of add-ons for something tailored to your taste.
Something you don’t find much of these days in food or fashion.
Astor Restaurant, 1829 Columbia Road NW, between Biltmore Street and Mintwood Place (202-745-7495).
