Red Light Bar & Detroit Pizza

It’s about time I wrote a review for my favorite pizza spot in DC. This is by far the best Detroit style pizza in DC, and my favorite pizza place. The pizzas are huge, and friend and I can usually split one but I get my own with my husband! Here’s a picture of a crust from a takeout order, absolutely gorgeous and perfectly crunchy. Like all takeout, the food is most delicious in restaurant. It’s a fun bar style vibe. This place is truly a GEM in DC. Once you try it you’ll be hooked. Detroit style is pan- style pizza with sauce on top - it’s not like typical NY style.

Red Light is a small place that has great patio seating. The food was very good and honestly the best Detroit style I've had outside of Detroit itself. The only real negative was the automatic 20% gratuity. That made the price ridiculous. I usually try to tip about 10-15% but having 20 as default and mandatory was insane.

One of my top picks for pizza in DC. It's all Detroit style fried crust pizza, and it's only four pieces, but that is plenty for two average appetite people to share. Was surprised to find there was a happy hour until 7:00 Mon to Thursday and got the pepperoni pizza for nearly half price. They also have some drink specials as well.

We loved the pepperoni with jalapeño and hot honey but the other pie with ricotta and artichokes etc was way too rich. Two people only need 1 pie. Slices are large.

The Detroit pizza at Red Light Bar and Detroit Pizza is hands-down the best I’ve ever had, anywhere, including Detroit. The crust edges were perfectly crispy, the cheese was melted and crisped on top, and the tomato sauce was tangy as it should be. The service was great, and the outdoor seating sealed the deal.
