“ Highly recommend While in DC to visit Fords Theatre, decided to give Ella's a try. We didn't have reservations, which I would suggest, but luckily were able to get a seat. Service: perfect. Everyone was friendly and attentive. The staff seemed to work well as a team Food: delicious. From the app, to Ceasar salad, then pizza and Pollo Alfredo. My wife and I enjoyed every bit! Pizza was light, with a perfect crunch ”
“ Very good pizzas, sandwiches and salad. Good atmosphere and service. ”
“ A refreshing change to have a thinner pizza than the usual NYC and Chicago styles. Packed with toppings and flavour with a slightly crispy base too. I recommend asking for a side dip of ranch sauce to enjoy the crusts with. Our server was very friendly and meals arrived quickly. ”
“ So good!!! Chose this as an option since they had more than just wood fired pizzas, and they did not disappoint. Fried calamari came out just right, and the Orange and beet salad was balanced and refreshing. If you like seafood, HIGHLY recommend the Mussels with white wine sauce. Didn’t end up trying out pizza but the calzone was tasty and filling! ”
“ Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing atmosphere. Me and my husband had a beautiful day walking around dc and ended our day eating here. It made the perfect ending to a perfect day. We will be coming back. ”
“ Love the place and the atmosphere!! Food was fresh and wood fire made. They have a bar and really delicious food !! Service was great and our server was amazing and on point. This was a DC vacation and spot is right in front of the metro very convenient for a long day of walking !! ”
“ Some of the best pizza I’ve had outside of Italy! Service was amazing, they were able to seat my family of 6 on a busy night. All the different pizzas we ordered were phenomenal, the drinks were on point, and the service was timely. Definitely a go back to place in DC! ”
“ We found this place in vacation. We loved it so much we came back once more before we left. We got the exact same table twice and the atmosphere was great- even with our toddler. I loved the chicken pesto penne. Also the margarita pizza was so good. It's all in the sauce! I wish I had the recipes for the past and the sauce because I now have cravings and I'm very far away! The service was great and fast. ”
