    Excellent.  Ordered a large hawaiian thin crust and it was oh so tasty!  Also, had it delivered and it arrived quicker than expected!

    We all loved it

    I recently moved into the area and I live right across the street from the restaurant. I have ordered from there twice and I WILL NEVER go there again. So you know it has to be bad if I will not support my neighborhood pizza spot.  In general, the pizza is below average.  Imagine if you went to Motel 8, this is the type of pizza they would give away for free. Imagine if Spirit Airlines had in flight pizza, yep....this would be it.  Imagine a TV commercial with a BEFORE and AFTER comparison, Besta Pizza would be the BEFORE option.

    During my last visit, I placed an order for over $50+ dollars. I  ordered food for my husband and friends.  We ordered two pizzas and one was suppose to have extra cheese.  We also ordered other items that was also below average. Both pizzas looked the same and of course we were charged for the additional topping. When I called to address the issue, the manager debated with me back and forth. He said he had to pay for the cheese and that he cant just give away free cheese, even though I paid for it. It was terrible customer service experience.

    I also told him that I was a neighborhood customer and I would appreciate better service because most likely I could be a repeat customer. He didn't care at all and didn't want to fix the situation. In this day and age of competition, restaurants should care about good customer service and making good food for their customers. I would recommend NOT spending your money here if you want good pizza.

    I went in to try this pizza place I kept hearing about, but when I walked in I noticed it was just a small joint and was very dirty. I decided to order the gyro because the pizza didn't even look that good and the ovens looked like they haven't been washed in yeats. I had to wait 15 minutes for the gyro and had to take it back to work since there was nowhere to eat. The gyro was awful and very greasy. I have no idea how the 50th most powerful person in DC can own such an awful pizza joint

    I ordered a cheese pizza. I had a few slices and noticed that there were black curly hairs in the dough. YUCK.

    I called the restaurant to ask for a refund. They wouldn't refund me because I had "no proof". I don't have black curly hair. I was the only person eating the pizza. I even snapped a photo of it on my phone.

    English is not readily spoken here.  This might be a decent place.  I don't know.  It is difficult to get beyond the language barrier with the person answering the phone.

    This isn't gourmet pizza, but it is delicious and fresh-tasting. The thin crust is great and not soggy. Besta is pretty much the ideal neighborhood delivery place. Good subs too!

    I NEVER negative review anyone/ But I called them before hand and gave them the opportunity to fix this and they didn't! Very disappointed

    The food is good! Sometimes is comes cold but it's good !!!

    Issue is it may take u 2 or 3 hours for delivery! They say 30 mins and its 2.5 hours- beware!!

    Everyone is awesome and the food is great but timeline is terrible the they don't care about what you think- just beware

    After living about 1/4 mile from Besta Pizza for 8 years, I decided to try the place out.  I ordered the Capri based on some reviews.  It's absolutely delicious!!!!  It's a lot better fresh vs. a day later though.  The pizza didn't taste overly oily or buttery either.  One warning though - they definitely don't hold back on the garlic on the Capri Pizza!!!!!

    The next time I'm craving pizza, it'll be a difficult decision between Besta and Italian Pizza Kitchen for me.  Although I think Besta is slightly cheaper, so I may go for Besta.

    I ordered the chicken wings and they were ok.  I'll probably pass on them next time.

    Great pizza and subs!
    The pizza is fresh and the crust is perfect. The cheesesteak and italian subs are a favorite of ours. This is a great neighborhood place!

    The food was delicious, but the service was incredible!  The folks at Besta Pizza are amazing.  We were in the middle of a huge storm, and they let us stay and eat in (even though it is a take-out place) to wait out the storm.  They made sure we were comfortable and took great care of us!  They were a fabulous port in the storm!  Again, the food was delicious, too!!

    Besta has pretty good pizza with pretty mediocre service. I keep coming back because it has the best pizza for delivery around. If you compare it to Comet which is right next door, Besta isn't even in the same room. But when you're in a jam and just need to order a pie, Besta will do.

    I say the service is mediocre because every time I call to place the order, it is always a difficult and annoying process. Almost always the person answers the line like they are pissed off at me. I feel like I'm inconveniencing them when I call! They always say "Hold on" and make me wait sometimes up to 5 minutes to place my order. I finally get through, and the guy on the line is completely unfamiliar with the menu. I finally place my order and I feel like I ran a marathon or something.

    That's where the problems end. The pizza comes relatively quickly. The cheese is gooey and delicious. I'm a fan, I just want them to have better customer service. Also, I think the prices are a bit expensive for what you're getting.

    Seemingly at a disadvantage being located adjacent to Comet Pizza, this is a bit of an oddball on the block. A quintessential local takeout/delivery that has friendly staff and pizza specials that are quite reasonable. We ordered the Sicilian which is all veggie and came with large chunks of tomato and onion, which a good dose of garlic. Despite a slightly undercooked crust, you get exactly what you order. A fresh taste reminiscent of something you might make at home. I like. This is a great backup spot in the neighborhood. check it out, it's worth a look.

    I really, really love the chicken parm sub.  Their chicken cheeseteaks are also REALLY tasty.  The pizza is good, but it's more of a greek style pizza than a classic thin crust NY style.  If you go, get a sub/hoagie (whatever you call it!)

    I have never had a bad meal at Besta! We order at least once a week. They have authentic fresh ingredients, and the bread is amazing on their subs too! Best place to get a pizza in the Friendship Heights/ Cleveland Park area.

    I thought it could have been just how much I was craving pizza the first time I ordered their garlic pizza and devoured most of it, but nope! Repeat success. And the spinach pizza uses full spinach leaves as opposed to chopped, possibly frozen spinach.

    Delivery was a little behind the first time I ordered, but the 2nd time was prompt. I'll definitely be ordering from here again.

    Order took almost two hours to arrive. We ordered pizza and wings. The pizza was decent, but cold (had to re-heat in the oven), and the wings we ordered spiced "hot" and had no flavoring at all (just plain wings) and they didn't include dressing.

    For cold average pizza, and the wrong order of wings with missing sauce - for almost 2 hours delivery... I would definitely not recommend this place for order.
