We had the best time dining at Alfreda on P street! We walk by this place quite frequently and finally decided to give it a try - we were not disappointed! The menu is small but everything sounds absolutely amazing, it's so hard to choose a pizza! We had delicious cocktails, warm focaccia bread with whipped feta, and two pizzas. The seasonal pizza had squash, ricotta, and fresh mint and was our favorite! We also tried the bread pudding desert, as recommended by our server, and it was the perfect sweet bite. They have great happy hour specials, the service was so friendly and warm, and the food was delicious. We can't wait to return soon!! Thanks for having us!

Alfreda's pizza is an absolute delight! The moment you step in, the ambiance envelops you in a cozy, inviting atmosphere and vibe. The aroma of freshly baked crusts and savory toppings heightens the anticipation. Each bite of their pizza is a burst of flavors, from the rich tomato sauce to the perfectly melted cheese. The service is impeccable, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. It's no surprise that I'm already planning my next visit to savor more of their delectable offerings. If you're a pizza enthusiast looking for a top-notch experience, Alfreda is the place to be. Five stars, no doubt!

My fiance & I get Alfreda at least once a week. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the best pizza and Caesar salad we’ve ever had. The employees are fantastic and always make you feel at home, especially Emilio & Giovanni! Could not recommend more!

Alfreda, a newcomer to the city's vibrant culinary scene, is making waves with its innovative approach to classic pizza. Chef Russel Smith, a renowned figure in the gastronomic world, has curated a menu that showcases his mastery of flavors and textures. The restaurant's specialty lies in its gourmet pizzas, which are crafted on a foundation of delectable sourdough bread, adding a tantalizing depth to each bite. During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of indulging in one of Alfreda's signature pizzas, and I must say, it was a revelation. The crust, with its perfect balance of crispness and chewiness, served as a canvas for a harmonious blend of toppings. The fresh, locally-sourced ingredients sang in harmony, creating a symphony of flavors that left me craving more. To complement the pizza, I sampled one of Alfreda's fresh salads, which proved to be a delightful counterpoint. The salad was a masterful composition, featuring the briny bite of Castelvetrano olives, the crunch of toasted pine nuts, and the bright, zesty notes of a lemon-chili vinaigrette. The greens were crisp and vibrant, and the dressing elevated the dish to new heights, creating a perfect balance of flavors that danced on the palate. Alfreda's dedication to the simplicity and sophistication of great food is evident in every aspect of the dining experience. The restaurant's inviting atmosphere and attentive service create an ambiance that encourages patrons to linger and savor each moment. I highly recommend a visit to Alfreda for anyone looking to indulge in a truly exceptional dining experience.

We had any amazing experience at Alfreda. The atmosphere is great! You can use this restaurant for a cute date night or place to hang out with a group friends. The garbanzo starter is excellent! The ceaser salad was the best Cesar salad I've ever had (and a great size well)! The pizza was awesome, they had multiple options to choose from. It was an amazing experience and I will definitely be back!!!

A gem of a restaurant. Delicious, thin-base, crisp-edged, flavorful pizzas. Caesar salad and garlic bread were also delicious. Chef Russell is doing great things! Doesn’t offer reservations but seating wasn’t a problem. Very friendly service.

Such a gem right off P St! Their happy hour is a solid deal- definitely take advantage of their BOGO. They had a variety of spritzes and they weren’t too sweet. Their thin crust pizza was flavorful and had just the right amount of crispness. We had enough to take home and our bill was very reasonable! We also tried the sourdough bread pudding and it wasn’t your typical slice height wise, the pieces were thinner yet super moist. Paired with ice cream and caramel, it was a well balanced dessert.
