Another pizza restaurant is coming to Mt Pleasant. The neighborhood dining scene will soon include Angelico, la Pizzeria. Angelico's has a DC restaurant in Tenleytown and apparently has another planned for H Street NE. The Mt Pleasant Street address is 3205. It was the formerly the home of Philly Steak Grill, which I never actually had a chance to visit.Angelico will join Radius, Pete's, and Red Rocks in the quest to serve up good pizza to midtown residents. The Angelico's space is pretty small. Don't expect table service (pure speculation however) or alcohol sales. The Tenleytown location sells pizza by the slice, but only until 5:00pm. That menu also includes many non-pizza options. There are calzones, pastas, wraps, sandwiches and desserts. Hopefully the Mount Pleasant location keeps as diverse a menu. And hopefully there's something for the vegans. Couldn't find an opening date, perhaps early spring? May they fare better than the Philly Steak Grill.

Looking forward to it. That Philly steak sandwich place blew.
Ah man, I liked the Philly steak place. The owner was super cool and really nice, and though the fries were frozen, the sandwiches were all really good and cheap. I was sad to see it go, but I'd love to see a good eatery take its place. Especially one with some seats inside. The old place felt very carry-out only, even though there were a few seats inside. We'll be there when they open!
Granted, I only went to the philly place once, but the cheese steak was so dry I did not return.
i am curious as to how many seats there will be. any guesses? i really can't visualize how large (or small) the interior is.
It's very small; unlikely there could be much room for eat-in. Maybe 2-3 tables. Hopefully they'll at lest make the interior look a little less sterile and uninviting. I thought the Cheesesteak place wasn't awful but they did nothing to market their place to the neighborhood.
Mt. Pleasant needs an influx of new places...the development was getting a little stagnant.
