Comet Ping Pong

This place is a staple of northwest dc food. The pizza is very unique but the atmosphere of this place is unmatched.

The most fun, friendly, family-oriented pizza joint in the DC area. Comet Ping Pong has delicious pies, that is a fact. From traditional to trendy, there's something for everyone. The pies are brick-oven fired, perfectly charred, with fresh and flavorful ingredients. And their tomato sauce has a herbaceous tang to it that is addictive. Add to that, the fact that they have the friendliest staff that you can imagine, this place is on my regular lunch list.

Food-we got cauliflower, Cesar salad, and pizza to share. Everything was super tasty, good portion size, and well seasoned.

service- our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu.

Vibe- there was a lot going on. Definitely a family friendly environment. Lots of kids and folks all over. Drinks and pizza in the front and ping pong in the back.

I had a good meal here this weekend, although it didn't rise to the same level as my first experience. The Smoky pizza was significantly less smoky than the first time I had tried it, and the Little Mac pizza had a special sauce smothering the pizza that really detracted from the overall flavor. At the price point, these pizzas did not hit the spot quite as much as the first time.

Did a to-go order, easy enough to place, and we went outside while it was being prepped and the host said he would notify us when it was ready. Spoiler - he didn't. We spent 30 minutes outside waiting, eventually went inside to check, and he told us our food had been ready for some time, not sure how long. Had cooled down a little bit bc of it.

This a wonderful place. I went to AU and surprisingly didn't come or order from here while there. My wife and I went here back on March 3rd, 2020 before seeing our friend Judy Heumann provide a book talk next door at Politics and Prose. We were very impressed and felt good supporting them in light of all the Pizzagate nonsense.

It was National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day and there was a coupon on Caviar for select restaurants and we saw they had chocolate chip cookies. We ordered two chocolate chip cookies, a Ca-Lamb-Ity J's green pie, a Comet Taco Pizza red pie, and a Drive pizza. It was all wonderful like before and the chocolate chip cookies were some of the best we've had. We look forward to both ordering from here and dining in person again in the future.

I love Comet Ping Pong! For most of college, my apartment was about a 5 minute walk from the restaurant so I came quite frequently. Whenever people visited me, I loved taking them here because it has a very fun vibe with the decor & ping pong tables.

The service is anywhere from good to mid, but I've never had a bad experience with a waiter there.

I think the food is great. I loved the Cheesus Crust, which I don't see on their menu anymore. I also love their chicken wings, fried risotto balls, and garlic knots.

I would say skip the cocktails here and go for a beer or cider instead. It's better bang for your buck IMO.

Jay is the best bartender ever. So nice!!! I love this place it's a great spot. Thank you :)

Service was awesome, dining area very relaxed & good music. Kids got the red pie & added basil A+ I got the red pie & added kalamata olives & the smoked mushroooms A++ & the Hubs got what our waitress told us would be the last Yalie. We hope not because it was just soooooo good! Solid cocktail, beer & wine list. Have fun finding the bathroom, see if u can locate it without asking first.‍
Ping pong in the back, very sweet vibe. Will def come back.

I don't live close by, but more than once I've been in the area and enjoyed Comet Ping Pong every time. My most recent time we arrived around 4:50 on a Friday evening (2 of us) and had open options for seating. By the time we left by about 6:30 the place was pretty full.
Every time we've been everyone enjoys the pizza. There are some interesting options on the menu, but those with more or less traditional toppings are what we stuck to. The meatball topping was amazing and fresh on The Jimmy. We had a greek inspired pizza with lamb sausage, picked onions, and tzatziki- very good.
The crust is tender with some good crisp to the outer edges. The beer options are always solid, with several quality craft options.

If I were a local, this would be my go-to pizza spot.
