Two pizza pop-ups are hitting the DMV this week, courtesy of some of the hottest names in the local food scene.
Why it matters: Pizza is always better with friends — but dreamed up by these talented buds (and cousins)? Can't miss it.
🗽 From the Bronx to Del Ray: James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Paola Velez joins Stracci Pizza chef-owner Tom Cardarelli for three nights of NYC bodega-inspired treats, starting tonight.
- On the menu: Chopped cheese meets Roman-style pizzas ($23), plantain sticky buns with maple ice cream ($16) and other sweets.
- After a difficult year recovering from a surgery, Velez says she's pushing herself to bake again and "make some Del Ray folk smile with some whacky pizza and sweets."
Go: 5pm until sold out through Thursday. Walk-ins only.
🦀 A family affair: Cousins Andy Brown (Andy's Pizza) and Emily Brown (Eebee's Corner Bar) reunite over a Maryland-inspired crab and artichoke pie. The duo once slung pizzas together at breweries.
- The crispy Sicilian-style creation channels Eebee's beloved dip with blue crab, artichokes, cheese and Old Bay.
- Slices ($7.50) or pies ($35) at Andy's Wednesday through Nov. 25; $12 mini pies at Eebee's Nov. 20–Dec. 4. Proceeds benefit the Capital Area Food Bank.
🍻Don't miss: Wednesday's launch party at Andy's Shaw, 5:30–7:30pm. Tickets $47+ (online, in person) include two slices and an open bar.
