Popular Capitol Hill pizza-by-the-slice spot with big variety, quick counter service, and housemade sodas; great for families and tourists, but Detroit slices can be inconsistent and service occasionally wobbles.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
We, The Pizza delivers reliable neighborhood pizza with strong food quality and excellent Capitol Hill location appeal, but inconsistent execution—particularly with Detroit-style reheats— and occasional service variability prevent grade A territory. The casual, family-friendly vibe and generous slices make it a solid local choice, though recent mixed feedback suggests quality isn't yet consistently exceptional.
Restaurant Summary
A bustling Capitol Hill slice shop where the upstairs fills with families and tour groups, the counter hums, and trays of pies beckon from the display. Service skews quick and friendly, and one visitor noted, "the beeper buzzed fast and we dove into hot slices." The vibe is casual and lively, helped by colorful murals and a steady flow of post-tour appetites. The cooking leans classic New York-style with some twists—think burrata-topped margherita, truffly forest mushrooms, and a Detroit-style option. The culinary approach is elevated traditional: recognizable pies with a few fun upgrades rather than culinary theatrics. Most slices deliver on flavor and size; Detroit slices are best as a whole pie to avoid reheat unevenness. For families, this is a strong pick: big cheese and pepperoni slices, wings, garlic knots, and simple salads keep kids happy. There is a vegan-labeled Detroit pie, but no vegan cheese—great vegetarian range, limited vegan flexibility. Expect a quick, affordable meal steps from major sights.
