A brilliant place to come for pizza if you’re in Washington DC. I went for the two slices and a soda deal with a side of mozzarella sticks. The pizza was delicious with a crisp base. The tomato sauce on the pizza is really tasty as well. A special mention to the mozzarella sticks with the perfect cheese pull on them. The staff are really friendly with perfect service and it’s great value for money.

This spot is hands-down one of the best new restaurants to hit the neighborhood in a long time. The food is phenomenal—the mushroom pizza alone is something I could eat every day. Their frozen margaritas have quickly become my favorite; they’re easily the best around.
Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere is effortlessly casual and laid-back, with a great vibe that makes you want to just relax and hang out. My friend and I even had the chance to chat with one of the owners, and we couldn’t be prouder of what they’ve created. This place is an incredible addition to the neighborhood—I can already tell it’s going to be my go-to hangout at least once a week.

We had the best lunch today! The vibes were vibing. The pizza was delicious and the service was top tier. The apple cider lemonade slushy was and the mambo pizza was perfect. It’s hard to find a place all four kids enjoy but protest hit it out of the park

Protest Pizza just opened in the Dupont area, right off 17th on P Street (under DC Vegan). I’m in love with this place already. First and foremost, the pizza is delicious! The crust is nice and chewy and just enough crispy. I had their version of the meat lovers, the BBQ Chicken, and tried the mushroom slice and they were all exceptional. I like that there are ample toppings, so I didn’t feel cheated at all. For their opening week-ish, slices are $5. They’ll settle their menu/ pricing soon and honestly, I’ll pay a few extra dollars for the quality. I don’t have them, but they do offer vegan and gluten free options!
The space itself is very cute. I like that it’s well-lit without feeling institutional. Also, the space is nicely laid out with a good amount of seating for the space, including a little outdoor patio. They have two single stall restrooms in the back, which is awesome. As far as the bar and drinks, they carry a lot of canned beverages, including Coke products and selection of craft beers. They also have quite a few liquors.
Lastly, the staff is really friendly and makes the experience special. I appreciate their attention to customers, patience with questions, and definitely belief in their products. I’m coming back here for sure!

Excellent new pizza spot. We tried the Green Line, Buffalo Chicken, and the Aloha. All three slices had perfect flavor combinations, and the crust was soooo so fluffy. Size-wise: they are smaller than Andy’s but on par with Stellina. They have a full bar, beer, non-alcoholics, and regular seltzers. We love everything about Protest Pizza, from the name to the vibe to the location.
Edit: the new Community Garden pizza is delicious.

Really solid and consistent New York style slice shop. Style is to the book. They have only been open a few weeks now, and straight out of the gate they are better than any of the slice shops in Dupont, Logan, and U Street.

This place feels like home. From truly heartfelt New York style pizza to a very wide selection of drinks and spectacular service, Protest Pizza is a safe space in the D.C. bubble. This place feels part museum, part night club, part late-night munchies that does not quit. Get yourself a slice (I highly recommend the sit-in!)

Delicious pizza! The toppings are fresh, the sauce is flavorful and the gluten free crust was so good! Here’s the gluten free pizza! They also have regular pizza by the slice and the kids loved the margherita so much that they went back for more. Super cute decor and friendly, upbeat staff makes it a fun spot.

Great new NY style pizza spot in DuPont. Loved the mumbo pizza and garden pizza! I also recommend the yuzu sparkling lemonade drink!
Will def stop by here again and again for a late night slice

This is a new pizza joint in Dupont. The pizza is solid and tasty. The crust and undercarriage is great. I got the Meatsa pie and it does not disappoint. Flavor profile is good – from sauce to the toppings – savory and rich without being overly salty and leaving you fee bloated. Definitely will be back for more! I give Protest Pizza four stars because NO ONE gets five stars..thats just crazy talk.
