    Love a thin-crust pizza with a little char, and Ella’s gets it right. Generous amount of slivered fresh basil really enhances the flavor. Good calamari, too. Not everyone gets it right, but Ella’s does. Flavorful coating, crisp, doneness is perfect, not like chewy rubber bands. Lemon wedges and yummy dipping sauce made them even better. Good service, casual nice atmosphere, unhurried and friendly.

    Your eggplant parmigiana sandwich was very disappointing. Hardly any cheese and it was very heavy and not a lot of taste

    Great service, amazing pizza and calzone! The Quattro Fromagio pizza is so good and the crust is thin, light with the right amount of chew. Try the mozzarella balls app and cheesy garlic bread

    Love their pizza, but decided to try something else and was Not disappointed! Got the penne pasta, which is a chicken pesto--delicious! very creamy and packed with chicken. A friend got the salmon salad and that also looked amazing.

    Pizza was excellent. The Gorgonzola and Rosemary pizza was one of the best I’ve ever had. Cocktails were made well and fairly priced given its DC. Service was awesome, everyone was nice

    Despite being completely full, service was excellent. Our server was very polite and helpful and took our order quickly. Pizzas were great and came quickly. Caesar salad was just okay. Would definitely go back though.
