We, the Pizza is an American chain of pizzerias primarily based in Washington, D.C. and Arlington County, Virginia. It was founded in 2010 and is owned by Sunnyside Restaurant Group.
History
The first restaurant was opened on July 12, 2010, by Spike Mendelsohn. It was located on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C., next to Mendelsohn's Good Stuff Eatery. The Greek taverna that was located there wanted to leave, and Mendelsohn wanted to have both of his restaurants next to each other. He did not have an idea for what we was going to do with the area when he signed the lease, but eventually settled on pizza. This took a while, and they were paying rent on the location for around a year before it officially opened. After it opened, Barack and Michelle Obama frequented the restaurant.[1][2] Mendelsohn's family also had formed Sunnyside Restaurant Group, which operates the chain and five other franchises internationally.[3]
Its second location was opened in June 2014, in Crystal City, Virginia.[4] The Ballston, Arlington, restaurant opened in October 2019.[5] In 2021, We, the Pizza partnered with Michael Waltz and Vicky Hartzler to donate pizzas to the National Guard in appreciation of their services.[6][7]
Menu
The chain has 17 custom pre-made pizza designs. They also offer cinnamon and garlic knots, buffalo wings, and salads.[8]
Locations
We, the Pizza has five locations, four of which in the Washington metropolitan area, including two in Arlington County, Virginia, with one in Ballston and one in Crystal City, and two in Washington, D.C., on Capitol Hill and U Street. The fifth restaurant is in Clearwater, Florida.[8]
