The Absolute Best Delivery Pizza in Alexandria

Alexandria has its own pizza delivery logic, and it is not subtle. You can get a pickle pizza from Bozzelli’s or a Neapolitan crust with a mandatory 20% gratuity from A Modo Mio.

One is fast counter service for a Caps game; the other is a calm room for a slow meal. I have tested both, plus the waterfront slice at Catboat and the reliable pie at Piece Out Del Ray.

The range is real. So is the traffic on King Street.

Just order ahead and read the list.

Stracci Pizza

Highlights
Great for couples dinners
Excellent pizza, strong recommendation
Stracci pizza is standout
Roman mezcal cocktail impressive
Good for first-time visits

Stracci Pizza delivers exactly what a first date needs: a quiet room, a strong Roman mezcal cocktail, and pizza that does not embarrass you. The namesake Stracci pie is the standout. It arrives hot, charred in the right places, and well composed. Couples will find the setting dim enough to ignore each other and bright enough to eat. I recommend it for first-time visits, though repeat trips are just as defensible. Service moves at a civilized pace. The crust has personality. If you want a theatrical show, go elsewhere. If you want solid pizza and a cocktail that means business, Stracci works. It is not cheap, but it is honest.

Cafe Pizzaiolo

Highlights
Generous portions, fair prices
Fresh, homemade pasta daily
Top-notch service from staff
Eco-friendly carryout packaging
Breakfast, lunch, and gelato

Cafe Pizzaiolo operates like it has nothing to prove. Portions are generous. Prices are fair. The pasta is made fresh daily, and you can taste it. Service is top-notch without hovering. The carryout packaging is eco-friendly, which I grudgingly respect. They do breakfast, lunch, and gelato, so you can eat pizza at ten in the morning if you are broken that way. The pizza itself is dependable. It lacks the flash of some places, but it compensates with consistency and value. The room is fine. The staff knows their menu. I left full, unbothered, and slightly annoyed I had not come here sooner.

Del Ray Public House

Highlights
Chewy, well-balanced crust
Generous small pizza portion
Quick, available staff help
Quiet, pleasant dining room
Solid overall food quality

Del Ray Public House feels like a neighborhood joint that remembers your face. The pizza has a chewy, well-balanced crust. I ordered the small and was surprised by its size. That is a compliment. The dining room is quiet. Staff appear quickly when you need them, then vanish politely. Food quality is solid across the board. This is not food that screams for attention. It just sits there and satisfies. The small pizza portion is generous enough for a solo meal or a light shared one. I liked the lack of drama. Some places try too hard. This one does not. It is the kind of place you leave thinking, sure, I will come back. And you should.

Piece Out Del Ray

Highlights
Consistent quality over twenty visits
Dedicated gluten-free fryer and options
Weekend brunch with five-dollar mimosas
Friendly service in a clean room
Solid beer and cocktail selection

Piece Out Del Ray earns trust through repetition. I have been twenty times. The quality has not wavered. That is rare. The room is clean. The staff is friendly. They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, which matters if your dining companion is celiac. The weekend brunch offers five-dollar mimosas, which is a dangerous value. The beer and cocktail selection is solid. Pizza stays consistent after two decades of visits. I have no complaints. The service moves at a decent clip. It is not a fancy night out. It is a reliable, pleasant meal. If you want consistency, this is your place. Just watch the mimosa count.

Atlas Brew Works & Andy's Pizza Carlyle Crossing

Highlights
Best pizza in DMV
Fast service, great beer
Awesome pizza-beer specials
Homemade lemonade for kids
Ideal pre-movie quick stop

Atlas Brew Works and Andy's Pizza share a space and a mission: get you fed and watered fast. This is the best pizza in the DMV. I will die on that hill. The service is quick. The beer is great. The pizza-beer specials are dangerous for your wallet and your waistline. They even have homemade lemonade for kids, so the whole family can carb-load before a movie. The spot sits near the cinema, making it an ideal pre-show stop. You can get a pie and a pint in twenty minutes. The crust has the right chew. The toppings are applied with intent. If you need a quick, excellent meal, go here. You will not regret it.

Rustico

Highlights
Attentive staff, clean space
Salmon with beans standout
Quiet spot for dinner
Solid cocktails, tasty meatballs
Worth returning for pasta

Rustico is a quiet spot for dinner, which is a compliment in a city that loves noise. The staff is attentive. The space is clean. The salmon with beans is the standout, and I say that as a pizza reviewer. The meatballs are tasty. The cocktails are solid. I did not catch any flaws. The pasta is worth a return trip. If you order pizza here, you are not making a mistake. But you are missing out on the salmon. The atmosphere is calm, almost library-like. It works. The service does not rush you. Prices are fair for what you get. This is a place for a slow meal when you want someone else feeding you. Good stuff.

Catboat Pizza Bar

Highlights
Fast, tasty pies waterfront.

Catboat Pizza Bar is fast and tasty, and it sits on the water. That combination is hard to beat. The pies arrive quickly, and they taste like someone cared. The crust is thin. The sauce is bright. The waterfront view does not hurt. I ordered, ate, and left before my drink warmed. It is not a destination for a long evening. It is a place to grab an excellent slice and watch the boats. The staff runs a tight ship. The menu is simple. You do not need choices when the product is this good. If you want a waterfront pizza with zero fuss, Catboat delivers. Literally.

A Modo Mio

Highlights
Authentic Neapolitan-style pizza crust
Soft Sicilian cream cannolis
Calm, cozy dining atmosphere
Tasty beef ravioli and seafood pasta
Note automatic 20% gratuity

A Modo Mio makes a Neapolitan-style crust that is charred, chewy, and correct. The Sicilian cream cannoli is soft, not the usual crunchy shell. That was a pleasant surprise. The room is calm and cozy. I felt like I was in someone's dining room, in a good way. The beef ravioli and seafood pasta are both worth your time. But here is the thing: they add an automatic 20% gratuity. I do not like being told how to tip. The service was fine, so I did not mind paying. But check your bill before you add more. The pizza is authentic. The atmosphere is gentle. Just know the gratuity is coming.

Mia's Italian Kitchen

Highlights
Homemade pasta, huge cannoli
Bottomless brunch, great value
Brunch pizza stands out
Servers go above beyond

Mia's Italian Kitchen serves homemade pasta and a cannoli that resembles a weapon. It is huge. The brunch pizza stands out, especially if you like eggs on dough. The bottomless brunch is a great value if you plan to sit for hours. Servers go above and beyond without being asked. That is rare. The pizza is not the most refined in town. It is comforting and heavy, which is fine. The value is excellent. I had the brunch pizza and some pasta. Both worked. My server refilled my mimosa before I had to ask. That is the kind of service I respect. Just pace yourself. The cannoli will defeat you.

Bozzelli's Italian Deli-Crystal City

Highlights
Pickle pizza worth revisiting
Perfect crust texture balance
Fast counter-service experience
Extensive menu, grab-and-go
Reasonable stop before outings

Bozzelli's Italian Deli in Crystal City has a pickle pizza. I was skeptical. I will now eat it again. The crust has a perfect texture balance: crisp outside, soft inside. The counter service is fast. The menu is extensive, and most things seem fine for grab-and-go. This is a reasonable stop before a Caps game or a walk around the neighborhood. The pickle pizza is the reason to come. It is salty, briny, and weird in the best way. If you want a conventional pie, they have that too. But you would be missing out. The portions are decent. The prices are fair. Just order the pickle pizza. Trust me.

pie-tanza

Highlights
Fair prices, generous portions
Fast pizza, cold soda
Friendly, efficient staff
Unique bacon-spinach-Asiago pizza
Reliable weekday lunch special

pie-tanza does not waste time. The pizza is fast. The soda is cold. The prices are fair, and the portions are generous. The bacon-spinach-Asiago pizza is a strange combination that works better than it should. The staff is friendly and efficient. They move orders like a factory, but a good factory. The weekday lunch special is reliable if you need a quick, cheap meal. The crust is thin and crisp. The toppings are piled on. I have no complaints, which is unusual for me. This is not a place for a candlelit dinner. It is a place to get fed and get back to work. For what it is, it is excellent. I would come back.

La Bettola Italiano

Highlights
Hot rosemary bread arrives
Homemade pasta, real flavor
Friendly staff, prompt service
Generous portions, fair price
Meatballs made from scratch

La Bettola Italiano brings hot rosemary bread to the table before you order. That is a good sign. The pasta is homemade and tastes like it. The meatballs are made from scratch, and you can tell. The staff is friendly. The service is prompt. Portions are generous, and the price is fair. This is comfort food done right. The pizza is not the main event, but it is better than most. The room feels Italian, or at least what Americans think Italian feels like. I left full and satisfied. The rosemary bread alone is worth a visit. If you want honest, unpretentious Italian food in Alexandria, La Bettola delivers. Do not skip the meatballs.
