Let’s face it – as hard as it seems to screw up pizza, it’s surprisingly difficult to find a good slice in the District. But when it comes to gourmet brick oven pies, a handful of D.C. pizzerias seem to have the art down – and Columbia Heights’ RedRocks is the cream of the crop. The menu boasts a list of “personal” Neapolitan pizzas (translation: too big for one, too small to share), paninis, calzones and small plates, along with a respectable selection of bottled microbrews and imports. Be sure to start off the meal with a plate of warm marinated Italian olives and avoid the boring Marinara and Margherita options (they’re nothing special). Carnivores will appreciate the simplicity of the Salsiccia (red peppers, fennel sausage and mozzarella) while vegetarians will find nirvana in their first slice of Eggplant (roasted with goat cheese and pesto). Even vegans need not fret, as all pies can be prepared with 100% soy cheese for a small charge.
