Jumbo Pizza

This is one of those places you go to when you are bar hopping. It’s a huge pizza that is super cheap. I do have to say that i always get jumbo slices when I’m under the influence of happy juice aka alcohol. I will be honest it’s not something I would go out of my way to eat. I would only grab a slice of I happen to pass by.
They offer two toppings; cheese and pepperoni. I prefer the pepperoni.

Let’s call it like it is. This is only for people rolling out of the U-​street bars at 2am. If this is you, you will fully enjoy this huge slice of pizza. It will be served quick because it’s all pre made and stacked in a big warmer. You will not notice that you paid $ 6.50, that they did not have any of the flavors displayed on the menu, or that the restaurant is dirty and full of trash. This pizza will be exactly what you need before ubering home. Jumbo Pizza serves this purpose and they do it perfectly well.
If you are not this person, please don’t come here looking for delicious pizza. You will be disappointed.

Super nice owner and pizza is good.

Quite possibly the worst I’ve ever had. Ordered a onion, ham and pinapple pizza. The pinapple tasted like nail polish remover. There were two bums bugging me and my husband in the restaurant. The salad was 5.50 and there was nothing really on it. This place was a nightmare from start to finish. Pure garbage.

I wish I could give zero starts to this shit hole. Gross old pizza stacked like dead bodies, and $ 5.50! WTF?

Even $ 1.00 pizza in NYC is better than this jumbo cheese slice they call pizza. I guess they can corner the market for bar/​club goers who leave and there are very few options open. $ 6 for a big slice of tasteless crust, can sauce, and imitation mozzarella cheese (there is no way it was real). I covered it in red pepper and parm cheese which they were out of and we had to ask them to refill. There was no saving it. What was worse and why I went to 1 star versus at least 2 is the condition of the restaurant. There was trash every where piled up and if you looked in the back there was tons of the pizza just piled up, not warmed or anything. This place was just bad on so many levels.

This is the perfect place to eat when you are hungry at 11 PM on a Monday. I got the pepperoni, sausage, with extra cheese pizza ($ 6.50). I know it’s not the healthiest meal but when you’re hungry at that time of night and everything else is closed it comes in in the clutch!
I was worried I wasn’t going to be able to order because I didn’t have any cash and I saw they had their own ATM machine which I hate because of the high fees. They except debit/​credit cards and I could not have been happier. No ATM fees! The pizza is so large you could easily split it with one or two friends but it’s so good you might not want to split it with that second friend.
I enjoyed every bit of my pizza on my über ride home.

I’m a New Yorker and have rather high standardss when it comes to pizza. With that being said all of DC pizza blow, plain and simple. Some maybe a little better then others but all in all it pales in comaparison to NY pizza of most pizza in Europe for that matter. I liked this because this is a brick and mortar building, the slices are huge, I got sausage on it and it was $ 6. A food truck with slices ¹⁄₃ the size cost me $ 4 and it’s no better so this is a hell of a bargan.
Sure OK the place is a dump but i’m old school when I went to a dump with a pac man video game with some old Itlian guy sweeting next to the pizza ovens makeing the slices you ordered by looking at them. I hate the gormat pizza BS they shovel me in DC and charge me for the hype. Give me a greese oily mess that taste great and don’t have me tap into my daughters collage fund to do it then you get 3 stars from me. I figure if I am going to get served bad DC pizza I may as well get a bargain and this place is a bargan. I don’t want to to pay for ambiance or how hot the womemn are sho work there or a hip trendy bar with the new vodka of the month. When I get pizza I want something fast and a good bargan and that is exactly what this place is.
Negitives is it was more a regular slice with sausage put on it after it cooked and not a sausage slice. As if the pizza was part of a regular pie and then the sausage was throw on top before it was reheated. You can tell because the sausage balls kept rolling off the slice and if it was cooked with the pizza it would be into the cheese itself and thatr was not the case here. The sausage was cheap pork and was shaped into little balls and not what I consider pizza sausage. The slice itself was nothing to really write home about but as I said its no worse then 90% of the so called pizza I get in this town and for those I get ripped off.
Like I said if you want fancy pretencious this aint the place for you but if you drunk hungrey snoned and want a lot for your money this is the place.

I ordered the Cesar Salad and a cheese and fresh tomato pizza. Everything was delivered very quickly (approximately 20 mins) and was hot upon delivery. Although, they did not have the nectar juice I wanted, they substituted it with a calypso which was perfectly fine. The only reason why they are receiving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the bread that was supposed to be croutons for the salad was very tough and I was not able to eat them.

It’s difficult to really judge a Jumbo Slice spot. They all look terrible inside, and they all produce enormous slices of mostly terrible pizza. That said, this is not the worst Jumbo Slice in DC. The crust is a bit deformed and non uniform and the ingredients are pretty basic. They keep these enormous slices stacked up in the back an a haphazard kind of way and this is a off-​putting. The lesson here is pony up a few extra bucks and take a cab to a real pizza shop.

I am quite surprise of the low reviews! I ordered the large eggplant pizza and it was incredible. For a hole in the wall place, they sure use quality products… and the cheese!!! This is the first pizza place to uses real kalamata olives in their pizza. The cheese stretches after you bite in to it is an awesome sign of real cheese. All those chain pizza joints has nothing on this place. Thanks to Groupon, now I have a go to veggie pizza place.

Yesterday, for my appointment at 1:30, I was pressed for time, and I was really hungry. I got off the Metro at the U Street stop and I had to go about four blocks. At 1:15, I saw a hole-​in-​the-​wall pizza place. It was lunchtime on a nice weekday, but the place was empty. I knew it was trouble when I walked in.
Usually, I like pizza. From the California Pizza Kitchen’s sacrilegious abominations to dollar slices on random streetcorners in Manhattan and Little Caeser’s «pizza,» I’ll happily gulf it down. Here, they provided me a giant slice laden with grease — which I initially took as a good sign. I was hungry, and I started chowing down. It felt like I was eating sponge — flavorless cheese, blandest tomato sauce, and directionless bread. On my way back to New York, I chose to forgo dinner because I couldn’t get the taste of the nasty pizza out of my mouth. And yet, it was so salty, I still feel the salt on my tongue the morning after.
Maybe it’s because I’m a guy named Tony from New Jersey, but this pizza makes me incredibly furious. On my way to the appointment, I had to do some soul searching as to why I spent six dollars for the worst slice I’ve had in my life. I am still so very angry. NEVER EVER EAT HERE.

I have no idea why the reviews of this place are so low. As a U Street/​Shaw resident, this place is actually a go-​to for me whether I want lunch, dinner, or a drunken slice of pizza! IMO, this is the best jumbo slice DC has to offer (major comparison points: both spots in AdMo and Kouzina Angelina on the other end of the U Street Corridor). Dough is perfect and thin, not too much sauce, just enough cheese, flavorful. I’ve enjoyed these slices drunk, sober, and as leftovers and I’ve never been disappointed. I’ve also ordered off their full menu, and their pizza and breadsticks are great! They even have lunch specials as well as weekly early bird dinner specials to give you a good bang for your buck. One of the best parts (especially for those drunken nights out): they take credit.

This is one of those places you tell yourself you won’t go to ever again, but somehow end up at every time you’re on U street.
The elegant, bright sign outside serves as a beacon for drunk people. There’s something about the dance hall and disco lights that draws you in and before you know it, you’re forking over $ 5.50 for a jumbo slice. And that’s when you realize you’ve made a huge mistake. The pizza looks sloppy and tastes even worse. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a slice that’s at least warm.

$ 6.50 jumbo slice, good sauce, lots o cheese, crispy base, nice crust, don’t understand the bad comments, loved it, better than koronet in nyc, p. s I was sober when I ate it

Wait this place is still in business? I highly recommend you avoid. Terrible.

A yummy place to go after a night of fun! Ate two slices of pizza! And they are huge and good price. Also tried their wings… Don’t really remember the wings, but I think they tasted good… Lol cause ate them all.
Convenient place to stop by. Right across the street from Lost Society. The line looked long, but it went by pretty fast.

This spot is nothing compared to the Jumbo slices on 18^th street. Slice was thin, tasteless and all around bad.
I’ll give them credit for keeping the line moving fast but that is about all, they just don’t give you a quality product and trust me my standards are low because I was drinking when I arrived.

I really love their pizza. Just what you need after a long day — cheesy and a little greasy (but not gross).
Also, cheap.
Like I said — I like it a lot. Definitely worth at least trying out.

There’s no need to worry about the calories this «pizza» might add to one’s hips. The product is so unnecessarily chewy that they’ll any calories will be burned off in the chewing process.
And that’s about the only positive I can think of about this place. That and the fact that it plays some good time, party African music (and accompany it with a disco light show) while the customer tries to choke down their awful product.
Right from the start when they tried to charge me $ 5.00 for a $ 3.00 slice (their special price before 9:00 p.m. to try to attract the sane and sober), I knew I made a mistake in coming here before a concert at the Black Cat. When I opened the box, the paper thin slice that greeted me almost disgusted me aesthetically. But when I bit in to the large slice (though I’ve had much larger at other places), I was shocked at how hard, burned, and tasteless it was.
And it wasn’t even quick. I waited five minutes for two slices (word to the wise, only one is needed for a big appetite or can even be digested). My guess is that the reason it took so long to serve is that they have no clue how long to keep a slice of New York pizza in the oven.
I know that this place isn’t meant to be eaten sober. No giant slice is. But this place is pathetic. Even on U Street, I’m amazed that they can stay in business. According to a sign, they have gourmet pizza as well. Maybe gourmet here means actually edible. I hope so.
