Is this list to-die-for or to-die-after? :-)

Neither of our two favourite places are on there:

Cafe Paradiso (new and fabulous on P St. & ~21st)

  This is the best pizza I've had anywhere, I think.  Lot's of fancy
items to go on top, but the main thing is the crust which is
wonderful.  And its cooked in a wood oven.  They also have a great
mixed salad (chicory, romaine etc.)  and good deserts and espresso.
The house red wine isn't even bad, and it's only $10.00 a bottle.
Unfortunately the place is *tiny* (seats about 40) and is always busy
so far any time and any day of the week.  But it's well worth the
wait.

Faccia Luna, Upper Wisconsin Ave. in Glover Park

This is next best, but more of a standard kind of pizza.  They also
have lots of interesting items to put on top, spinach, sun-dried
peppers etc.  Their espresso is also excellent, and they have a good
selection of imported beer, including Spaten on tap. Busy on Friday
and Saturday nights.
