On Friday the District of Pi pizza truck was sitting in front of Gelman library, just beckoning to me. I’ve been wanting to try their deep-dish for AGES AND AGES, but something always barred my access. Be it lack of cash, time management, or the fact that I had recently eaten and I’m not that much of a glutton, but I hadn’t had District of Pi yet. They have a restaurant in Penn Quarter as well, but when I’m out that way I usually have a destination already.
So it had to be, Friday was the day. I had also failed to eat breakfast, so like ice cream the day before, this was a sign from the gods that I needed to indulge. Or I’m shamelessly using coincidence to allow myself to over-eat like a pre-teen whose parents went away for a long weekend. We’ll go with the former…
So I got the “Just Cheese”—yeah, I’m not helping my case, but it was the only meatless one I saw on the menu that day! It took 9 minutes to cook up, but I just chilled outside Gelman and returned a phone call; it was nice out so I didn’t mind a bit. My food was ready in just that time and I raced home to eat it. By that time it had cooled just enough to chow down, and I was thrilled with the product. I’ll never say deep dish is better than New York style, or even comparable to—it’s a different animal entirely. However, this was thoroughly satisfying and all-around delicious. Tomato sauce on top is an interesting concept, and I’m definitely into the chunky tomato-y sauce rather than a puree. Overall a definite lunchtime success.
Still reading? Good for you. You obviously care enough about GW or DC or my culinary adventures. So write me about it! shireens@gwmail.gwu.edu
