queen margherita

pricey but worth it.. the wood fired oven - purported to have come from naples - is what makes this restaurant special. the thin crust pizzas we ordered were excellent. two small salads, 4 glasses of pinot grigoio, and two pizzas added up to $90, plus tip.servicewas ok.

authentic italian style pizza.serviceis great and pizza is fantastic. try the nutella pizza for dessert and the capricciosa for dinner. all the appetizer s are good too.

ats a nice-a-pizza place.. well, chefmeat, i don't work here so i will write a review. (i don't even know any of the staff!)
we arrived shortly after 3 p.m. the other day at queen margheritas.
we started with the caprese salad. it was very good, lots of balsamic/gorgonzola dressing and pecans and tomatos.
we had the funghi pizza ($14.00/16' round) and added the speck (ham) and the buffalo mozzarella ($3.00 extra). the speck was a bit tough and the buffalo mozzarella was devine. nice, crispy, thin crust too.
they have a large selection of reasonably priced wine and beer.
all the pizzas are cooked in a wood fired oven made in italy.
theservicewas good as we were the only customers at that time of day.
the place itself is quite beautiful. whoever designed the decor for the restaurant did a great job.in addition to table seating you can sit at the bar and watch the action in the kitchen .
on nice days they open the sliding doors so the whole dining experience becomes an alfresco afair.
there was only one thing about the whole experience at queen margherita that bothered me.
happy hour is from 3-5 p.m. daily but we received no happy hour menu and were not told what the happy hour specials were by our server.
if you go by metro bus, the #31 or the #24 gets you closest.

not impressed. will not go back. theserviceis so inattentive and lacking. the pizza was a long wait for flavorless burnt crust. i have high standards because i frequent serious pie 4th & virginia, where real pie is made. strike 2, you are out queen margherita.

really unhappy....servicewas uninterested. we waited an hour and 10 minutes for our pizza. i asked for the bill after an hour , for the things we had already eaten (salad, soft drink, glass of wine) since we were sick of waiting with no apology or explanation... and they handed me the bill for the entire order....and we hadn't even received the pizza yet! charged us 2.75 for a soda, but never asked if we wanted refill. we asked for one, and....yup...they charged another 2.75. any reputable restaurant would have 1. apologized, 2. comped the wine or salad or...omg...even the pizza 3. not slipped us a bill for the entire amount when i asked for a bill for only what we ate so we could leave. really disgusting.
