All-purpose Shaw - Calumet-Norvelt

All-Purpose was a last minute decision for dinner that turned out to be magical (no, seriously). The vibes were immaculate, service was fast and excellent, and the food hit the spot. The garlic knots were incredible- flaky on the outside, doughy on the inside, with buttery sour cream on the bottom. Definitely recommend and will absolutely be returning when I'm back in town.

We noticed All Purpose a couple of weeks ago (after passing unnoticed many times) and decided why not. So glad we did.Happy hour is a great deal if you 're getting pizza. The Standard is deeply discounted. Nicely chewy browned crust that holds up without caving under ingredients. We got mushrooms on one a generous covering. We asked to go light on the cheese, perfectly done.We ordered pickled cauliflower which was a wonderful surprise of flavors and light, unpuckery vegetables. So good we got 2 orders.All served by cheery, helpful, efficient staff including Jose Chan.

WHERES BRANDY ?!?! WE ALWAYS CAME IN TO SEE HER AND HER WARM ENERGY BUT IT SEEMS SHAWS LOST A TRUE GEM !

Voted Washingtonian 2024 Top 100 Restaurants in D.C., it does not disappoint!They are known for their 12 pizzas, which I would recommend sharing between 2 people, unless you are quite hungry. Their crust is unbelievable and we enjoyed the Vesuvio pizzaWe also tried the Arancini Siciliano as an appetizer, and I wouldn 't recommend it, as the flavors didn 't mix well.The servers are really attentive, coming to replace the silverware between courses and they have quality cloth napkins. The restaurant is quite cozy, and I would recommend making reservations if one visits during the evening.

It’s my new favorite pizzeria. We ordered the Buona with added Italian sausage, and it was absolutely amazing! The tomato sauce had such a delicious flavor. Next time, I'm definitely going to try the Margherita pizza. The restaurant had a beautiful design and a great atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly friendly.
