Boogy & Peel is the LGBTQ woman-owned pizza joint in Dupont Circle where Chef Rachael Jennings puts every sandwich you've ever loved on a perfectly charred crust — and somehow makes it better.
Suite 115B, Dupont Circle
Boogy & Peel lives inside suite-level retail at 1 Dupont Circle NW — the kind of spot you hear about from a friend, or a very good food writer. Regulars wouldn't have it any other way.
Sandwiches Met Pizza, Nothing Was the Same
Chef Rachael Jennings asked: what if a Big Mac were a pizza? The answer — shredded lettuce, American cheese, secret sauce, charred crust — is extremely correct. The Kelly Ruben (pastrami, Swiss, gruyère, sauerkraut, caraway powder) makes you question every pizza you've eaten before it.
D.C. Noticed. Then the World Did.
Washington City Paper voted us Best Pizza in D.C. — and we're not casual about that. The Washington Post, Washingtonian, and Eater DC followed, citing Chef Jennings' "guilty-pleasure pizzas" and the zhuzhed-up nostalgia that makes this place hard to stop thinking about.
The Wine List Has Opinions
A bossy little rotation of natural wines — Grecanico, Zweigelt, a pink one you'll want two of — alongside PickleBack cocktails made with real dill pickle juice and frozen coconut piña coladas for when Dupont hits like a beach in August.
Save Room. We Mean It.
The toasted sesame soft serve sundae — tahini caramel, halva — is the dessert you didn't know was missing. Pizookies from Hanker N Knead are also very much on the table. (That's a recommendation.)
