HYATTSVILLE WIRE: Two Route 1 eateries made the Washington Post‘s list of the D.C. area’s 10 best casual eateries, even though neither has a normal location.
Hyattsville home-based pizzeria Ramona’s Pizza Garden and miXt Food Hall tenant Spice Kitchen both made the list written by restaurant reviewer Tim Carman.
Ramona’s owner Will Crick sells pizza through a waiting list that is currently topped out at 700 people that he hopes to open back up soon.
Carman described them as “superb pan pizzas, which look like Detroit pies but conform to a style all their own.”
Spice Kitchen owner Olumide Shokunbi, meantime, uses his spot at the popular Brentwood food hall to try introduce D.C. to grilled Nigerian skewers.
“The skewers, simultaneously earthy and spicy, are served atop food-grade wax paper designed to mimic the newspaper on which suya is typically served in the mother country,” Carman writes.
