Piola's

This international pizza chain specializes in thin crust, light sauce pizza cooked in a large wood-burning oven. The ingredients are fresh, the crust is perfect, the pizza non-greasy, and the food comes quickly.

The Happy Hour is so-so: house wines, tasty sangria, bottled light beers. This is a good bar for people trying to meet up with both beer and wine drinkers. Most people heading to happy hour in the area flock next door to Cafe Asia, leaving Piola roomy enough to find a bar stool and chat with the bartender(s), or visit with a larger group of friends without standing elbow to elbow.

Hungry? Great deals. What draws me here is the excellent selection of finger foods to snack on (for free!) while you chat with your friends by the bar during happy hour. Last night we had pizza with basil, pizza with pepperoni, olives, blue cheese, bread & dipping olive oil, and bruschetta! A plethora of food, and I went home full... of love for Piola.

Piola has a great location for those meeting up with people from DC and VAasince it is only a 5 minute walk up the hill from the Rosslyn metro station.
