The Pizza Pool: Monterey's Pizza vs. RedRocks Pizzeria
UPDATE: This poll is now closed; RedRocks won! You can see the latest Pizza Pool updates and contests here.
Who makes the best pizza in Washington? You tell us! We're asking you to vote in the first Washingtonian.com Pizza Pool, a brackets-style contest that will narrow 32 pizzas to one winner. For a refresher on how the brackets will work, head here.
Monterey's Pizza: You can't go wrong with the delivery at this Alexandria joint, which makes thin-crust pies with creative toppings such as roasted garlic, Mexican beef, and banana peppers.
RedRocks Pizzeria: This Columbia Heights pizzeria's Neapolitan-style pies are cooked at 750 to 900 degrees in a wood-burning, dome-shaped brick oven. Toppings—such as San Marzano tomatoes, arugula, capers, buffalo mozzarella, and Sicilian oregano—keep with the Italian vibe.
This poll will stay open until 3 PM on Wednesday.
*To help keep this contest fair, we've elected to use an IP address-based poll. This means that if you are voting from an office or network setting, not everybody will be able to vote. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we hope you'll encourage coworkers to vote from their home computers.
Really, Washingtonian, um, the best pizza in Washington would have to be IN Washington.
Seriously, Alexandria is not Washington. I wish you guys would figure these things out. You should either change your name or smarten up. This is exactly why I stopped my subscription to your magazine. I don’t want need reviews/info about places in VA. If i did, I’d get a VA magazine.
Go Red Rocks!

Perhaps it works against my interest as a representative of Pete’s, but I vote enthusiastically for Columbia Heights neighbor and competitor Red Rocks. It’s a very enjoyable place to go. The beer and wine selection is good. And the pizzas are genuinely pleasing. I always order the salsiccia, and almost always trade slices with dining partner’s pepperoni pizza (no matter who I go with, someone always gets the pepperoni). Good luck, Red Rocks!
