" After hearing great things about All-Purpose, I finally visited for brunch and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere is warm and cozy, ideal for a lazy Sunday. I tried their breakfast sandwich which was filling and delicious. The highlight was definitely the Bottomless Mimosas; they kept them coming which is always appreciated. I can't wait to return to try out the pizzas everyone's raving about! Yes, the price is a bit on the high side, but totally worth it for the quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to All-Purpose was quite average. While the service was friendly, I felt like the food didn’t live up to the hype for my plate. I ordered the Supremo pizza, and while it wasn’t bad, it just didn’t have the vibrant flavors I was expecting. I should have gone with one of the staff's recommendations instead. The atmosphere was nice though, and the place itself is cozy. The garlic knots were definitely a high point of the meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mediocre experience at All-Purpose. The decor is charming and the staff is sweet, but the food was just fine. I had the butternut squash hummus which was a bit underwhelming, and the pizza was good but not the best I've had in the city. Service was attentive but it didn’t save the overall experience for me unfortunately. " (*Curated Review*)

" At All-Purpose, I had an enjoyable dining experience but noticed that the pizzas did seem a bit pricey compared to other spots. The crust was definitely on the thicker side than I prefer. But the service was prompt, and the atmosphere cozy, making it an overall nice dinner spot despite my modest critiques on the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" All-Purpose has become my go-to spot for pizza in DC! The Chilies honey pepperoni pizza is my favorite, the honey adds an amazing flavor that pairs wonderfully with the pepperoni. The ambiance of the restaurant is also inviting, making it a great place to hang out with friends. Service was fast and very friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality pizza! " (*Curated Review*)

" All-Purpose offers a wonderful mix of pizzas and Italian dishes. I visited last Saturday and we ended up trying multiple items from their menu. The arancini were wonderfully crispy outside and creamy inside. Later, we moved onto the pizzas; the pizzas had fresh toppings, making each bite a delight. The ambiance is casual yet lively, perfect for both families and a night out with friends. Although a little pricey, every dish was well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited All-Purpose during my last trip to DC and was not disappointed! The pizzas were out of this world! We shared the Sedgwick pizza that had a rich four-cheese flavor with a hint of truffle honey that made it unique. The ambiance of the restaurant combined with top-notch service made it all the more enjoyable. My only wish is that the portion sizes were a bit larger since we were quite hungry after our meal, but overall a fantastic experience. Will definitely come back for another visit!
