A hat tip goes out to two PQ Living readers letting us know that &pizza is now open at 1005 E St NW as confirmed by the embedded tweet above. This space was once a Gifford’s and then a Freshii outlet. &pizza serves custom made pizzas much like Chipotle serves custom tacos and burritos. We are hoping that the take out window at this location has been/will be restored to its former glory.
