I wanted to like Vace because I know it’s a local institution but it left a lot to be desired.
I tried their focaccia cold cut sandwich, meatball sub, and plain slice, none of which were very good. The focaccia tastes like instant yeast, the sub rolls are clearly frozen and par baked, and the slice was extremely mid. Prices are pretty high considering the quality isn’t great.
However, what really put me off was the service — everyone behind the counter acts like you’ve offended them by daring to order and are clearly extremely unhappy to be serving customers. It’s a shame because it’s the type of spot where you’d expect friendly service.
Also, watch out if you’re buying a tiramisu, because most of the containers are broken and the tiramisu are freezer burned as a result.

Classic spot on Connecticut Ave. The pizza here is pretty great. I also like that they put the sauce on top of the layer of cheese, which gives a different kind of bite that isn’t all that innovative when you think about it, but tastes surprisingly fresh (I started doing that on my own mini pizzas I make at home).
Speaking of making your own pizzas, the blocks of whole milk mozzarella cheese they sell are really fantastic. So delicious, and I buy one every time I make a stop at Vace’s.
They are a small, simple Italian pizza place (no dining in, take-out only) selling pies or slices, but also act as a mini market where you can pick up pastas and cheese, plus other Italian goodies.
It’s really a fairly simple spot that rightfully gets regular business and, in my opinion, should get yours, too. Try them out
5/5 stars from me

For 46 years, this Italian market and deli has been making waves in Cleveland Park (and Washington, D.C.). Here’s why you should visit:
1) Food: There’s a deli in the back that sells Italian subs for under $10 and slices of pizza for $2.50. In an expensive city, it’s hard to find a less expensive meal. I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza. It’s thin crusted, but good!
2) Market: They sell all kinds of Italian products from hard-to-get sodas to wines to homemade pasta to all kinds of frozen lasagnas. Cured meats and soccer balls hang from the ceiling.
3) Service: Candidly, it’s not friendly and at time abrasive, but it’s part of the experience.
If you love Italy, wander to Cleveland Park’s Vace.

Very good pizza with a nice crunch at a very low price of $2.50 per slice. I liked both the pepperoni and the mushroom slices. However, I felt like the lady who helped us was generally quite rude and seemed annoyed we paid using card for a price barely over the $5 minimum.

Love this place, love that it’s local. Reasonably priced with a very neighborhood feel. Cheapest non-dominos pizza in DC, and tasty. Take home frozen pasta dishes are great too. Service is indifferent, but it just reminds me of New York. No mandated pleasantries. Honestly I kind of dig that. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Great Italian deli. Best pizza. Some get sticker shock because “it’s expensive.” You live in DC, the air is expensive. It’s not dominos so shut up and buy the pizza or clear a path so everyone else can. Have also tried a few of their freezer options that reheat well at home. Service is what it is, they don’t work for tips.

Heard this place was good and they were right! I called & ordered an Italian sub and walked to pick it up, carry out only. Opened the door and the gorgeous aroma hit me. This tiny place was filled with goodies, go to their website. The pizza slices on the counter window look delightful. I couldn’t wait to eat! My huge sub was waiting for me and I saw they had just made fresh beef empinadas, so I grabbed one of those, too. Sub & empinada are Delicioso! I WILL try the pizza next.

Fantastic to go meals. Popped in to get some Togo when we were to the zoo – and we will be back. Excellent meals to go. Can’t speak to the service, it was fine. But highly recommend the food.

Best pizza I’ve had in my entire life I am not joking. Stopped by here in my senior year of high school with a field trip group after visiting the zoo. Every time I see people from this group we all talk about this pizza. Hidden gem highly recommend.

The service is comically bad and almost endearing? I expected it after reading other reviews. The glowing comments about the pizza made me think it was going to be magical but it was just good.
