comes to kids, but it takes a big
heart (and a good set of ear
plugs) to bring the family to a
sensory-overload pizzeria-
fun-center geared specifically

Pizza “with an edge” is the name of the
game at this popular pizza joint, with
offerings such as the Bad and Bluezy
(grilled onion, pepperoni and blue cheese)
and the 3Peat (pepperoni, Italian sausage
and bacon). Rest assured there are basic

established in 2012, is on H Street, with 10

13 in Virginia.

But don’t worry: kids can build their own,
with a slew of familiar ingredients. They’ll
also be plenty content playing ping-pong
— and dreaming about a yummy sundae
for dessert. Parents like the fact the
ingredients are farmed and harvested in a
sustainable manner, including housemade
tomato sauce. The backroom is a popular
spot for birthday parties.
