In an alley just off of H Street NE along 7th Street NE is a tiny, well-designed pizza bar. Park along H Street NE for a few dollars and walk up to the painted brick shop with two neon signs that read "The Little Grand" and "Pizza pick up." After picking up two pizzas and enjoying two cocktails while waiting, here's my experience:

1. Drinks: There are five cocktails on the menu ranging from $12 to $15. Since it was hot out, I ordered two rounds of the St. Germaine Spritz with cava, St. Germaine, soda and rocks with a twist. It was well mixed and very refreshing.

They have sparkling, rose, white and red wine by the glass and bottle, after dinner drinks (vermouth, amari and brandies) a mocktails and Athletic Brewing Company non-alcoholic beer, Coca-Cola products, and still/sparkling water.

2. Food: Their main thing is pizza and they have seven different kinds from cheese to white pizza to seasonal supreme. They come in two sizes. Both are 12 inches, but the round one feeds 1-2 people and the square feeds 2-3. I ordered a square pepperoni for $30 and a square cheese with vegan sausage as an add-on for another $30. It took three people, three meals to finish both pizzas!

They also have other food like salads, meatballs and bar food like nuts and olives.

3. Space: It's small, but beautiful. There's bar seating and several booths along the wall. The entire space is classy, but intimate and inviting.

4. Service: The owners are very kind and try to get to know every patron without being overbearing. After all, their menu reads "Hot Pizza. Cold Drinks. Warm People." They do all three well.

5. Neighborhood: It's just off H Street NE so slightly less busy, which is good. However, it's still close to many great spots like Solid State Books for books and beer, The Wydown for coffee and Copycat for more great cocktails.

The Little Grand will become a neighborhood haunt. After just a few days open, they...

We were out running errands in the city and decided to turn the day into an impromptu date night. I was in the mood for pizza, so we searched for something nearby and stumbled across The Little Grand. What a find!

It’s a cozy spot, so I’d definitely recommend making a reservation if you can. We waited about 30 minutes for bar seating, but didn’t mind one bit—we were able to enjoy a round of cocktails and appetizers off to the side while we waited, which made the time fly.

We started with the bar meatballs and the fresh ricotta. The meatballs were a 10/10—absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. The ricotta was fine, but I think I was hoping for burrata, so it fell a bit flat in comparison. I also ordered the pickled veggies and really enjoyed the variety of veggies they served—great for snacking and a nice contrast to the richness of the other dishes.

The cocktails were just as impressive—balanced, flavorful, and well-made. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and devoured nearly the whole thing, leaving just three slices because we were stuffed. The crust was crisp, the toppings generous - very cheesy, and the overall flavor hit all the right notes.

We’ll definitely be back. The Little Grand is perfect for a casual date night or a fun outing with friends—great vibes, great food, and...
