Hmmmm...I find the opposite is true!  There are plenty of good Italian
restaurants in Arlington alone (good, cheap ones), but the pizza here
leaves much to be desired, except for a few good places.  Then again, 
I grew up in Buffalo, where there's a terrific pizza joint on every corner
(and very little bad pizza anywhere).  Another thing -- pizza is so expensive
in this area!

The closest I've found to Buffalo pizza here is Pizza Movers on Columbia
Pike near the Navy Annex (I won't vouch for all PMs).  But we're going to
the Price Club tonight anyway, so we'll give that a try. 

My favorite pizza here was Abdullah's which turned into Sophia's (on Wilson
Blvd. in Arlington) but that's closed now...Alario's in College Park is 
pretty good.  Their New York style pizza is quite good, and the marinara
pizza is nice for a change, too.   

Generous George's is pretty fun.  It's especially fun to be seated in the
pizza-pasta room, although I prefer their plain pizza to the pasta-laden
variety. 

I don't even want to try CPK -- just reading their menu makes me feel kind
of ill.  Maybe pizza is good with all those weird ingredients, but some of
the ideas turn my stomach.  


:-)

Looking forward to some PC pizza tonite!!  And since I work in McLean, I'll
have to give McLean Pizza a try soon, too.
