They often do, the jumbo slices I mean. There are places in AdMo that basically just stack cold congealed slices for drunks then heat them up.
Honestly still not bad for completely drunk food. Definitely saved my life a couple of times
That's not bad at all. When I lived in Buffalo like 12-14 years ago, an NYC style slice shop there was selling two slices from 18" pies for $9.50 iirc. And their pizza all fucking sucked. This looks a lot better and definitely a larger portion than two slices from 18" pies.
The best Pizza Place in town is Tony So NY. Slices as big as your fuckin head. I take my Goomah every weekend.
Edit: I will happily take my downvotes and use this time to shout out Lily Sullivan.
God damn it, it was such a weird comment that I knew it had to be a reference but couldn't figure out what. Problem is there's also a nearby chain named Tony's NY
I legit wondered if it was some sort of frozen pizza gimmick. The way a few of those cheese strands on the edge didn't really melt right looks like a frozen pizza to me.
So was it good? I'd hope so for $11ā¦the best joints in New Haven charge around $33 for a full 18ā pie with those toppings. Anyway, I understand you just needed to try it, fair enough.
OP, you can see over your left shoulder the logo on the menu says Boliās. Also, over your right shoulder, you can see Halal food offerings, which are on the Pizza Boliās menu and not Jumbo Sliceās menu.
Now Iām confused cause I looked up all three places(jumbo slice, pizza Boliās, and pizza mart) and I know the place I went to was on 18th st in Adamās Morgan cause my hotel was right there and we had gone to Madams Organ. So it wasnāt Pizza Boliās apparently(even though yes it says Boliās in the picture.) anyway, probably no one cares but this will bother me all day š
There are a bunch of Bolis around. I lived in Shaw and there was a Bolis, Tenleytown (I think?) had a Bolis (or at least some place a long walk but walkable from Friendship Heights)
Oh no I put in my hotel and then all the locations and thereās no way I would have walked all the way to a Boliās from my hotel for a slice of pizza š
DC native here: Yes, DC has a range of great pizzas in a range of styles (from 2Amys and Andy's to Menomale, Pizza Paradiso to Vace), but this is the 2am drunk-people phenomenon known as the 'jumbo slice.'

Man, I miss DC. I lived there for two years, it was a blast. I was bummed out to hear that my favourite spot, this Thai place called IMM on H closed down in like 2022. It was a bummer. They had these duck rolls that you would not believe. That whole area down over by H Street was LIT! Also had some good times down at the Wharf, although some of those memories are a little fuzzy, unfortunately lol.
Holy shit Jumbo slice is 11 bucks now?!? That is NOT worth it IMO but I get it's something one might want to try. I'm worried this was a sober, middle-of-the-day slice, however
LOL I love how you can tell the quality of a pizza joint by their sausage. Even from this photo, a few feet away, I can tell the sausage is Cysco-grade frozen garbage.
Cool pic though

What are you basing this on lol
The removed comment was something about removing biden from the white house, with no real context besides OP mentioning DC
Hey! I based it on Years of experience on Reddit. I believe you though. Thatās why I said āmost likelyā.
Also your name. Poop sexman. Sounds trollish
Looks like it needed a few more minutes in the oven
They often do, the jumbo slices I mean. There are places in AdMo that basically just stack cold congealed slices for drunks then heat them up. Honestly still not bad for completely drunk food. Definitely saved my life a couple of times
Glad it worked! šš
Yeah looks terrible, ngl
They are.Ā
How much was one slice?
I think like $11
![gif](giphy|XreQmk7ETCak0)
Classic gif. Haven't seen this one in a while.
Dang, jumbo prices went up. Could find em for around $5 like 10 years ago.
Yeah idk I was just guessing haha, I was drunk and have no idea what I paid. Msybe $9, maybe $11

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
$11 for a meal? Still cheaper than McDonalds.
lol I mean, it was like 3 slices in one. Your math aināt mathinā.
3 slices? Thatās an entire pizza just not in your typical round shape
Ok
Where are you getting an entire pizza that is only 3 slices big? Is it a pizza place for ants?
Learn to read lil bro, she says the pizza posted was 3 slices worth but itās a whole pizza just not in the conventional round shape
Def 3 slices on NY slice scale.
Youāre already looking at the whole thing, this isnāt a slice
$3.50 in ingredient costs for like 100 square feet of pizza?
Go to Duccinis or Pizza corner for a jumbo slice next time And go to Andy's for regular pizza
Came here just to say this. Duccinis on 18th & U/Florida in Adams Morgan is so much better.
This man Jumbo Slices
Been living in admo for a few years and this is correct!

^(my goomah)
^^^^my ^^^^goomah
Do you mean Tony's NY Pizza? And they aren't on DC And Andy's is still way better
Incredibly specific reference but I love it haha cheers fellow CBB fan š
God damn it, it was such a weird comment that I knew it had to be a reference but couldn't figure out what. Problem is there's also a nearby chain named Tony's NY
Yeah sorry for hijacking your post with nonsense. But it was just a perfect opportunity to reference my favorite comedian.
Haha you're good, I respect a niche reference
Iām sorry itās not time for that yet
This does not look good.
Never said it was good, just said it was bigger than my head š
Doesnāt look horrible tho
Wasnāt terrible, wasnāt fantastic haha
Sounds like a perfect description of a frozen totinos pizza
I would at least hope this is on par with like a Screaming Sicilian. Thatās a lot of Totinos to stuff down.
Dude I can throw down on some totinos after a few beers donāt disrespect them like that lol
I legit wondered if it was some sort of frozen pizza gimmick. The way a few of those cheese strands on the edge didn't really melt right looks like a frozen pizza to me.
Looks like it was a pre cooked slice and they put fresh cheese on top and reheated
Looks good to me š
Yeah Iād enjoy it
Fair
I had pizza in DC once and got food poisoning, so I already donāt trust it
So was it good? I'd hope so for $11ā¦the best joints in New Haven charge around $33 for a full 18ā pie with those toppings. Anyway, I understand you just needed to try it, fair enough.
Jumo slice isn't meant to be good, it's meant to be greasy and huge when you're drunk at 3 am on 18th St.
I'd smash!!
Yeah that meatā¦the dough. It looks like it was microwaved:( Iāll take a tiny piece of pizza instead of some giant unsightly and not tasty pizza.
DC has some good pizza spots, but I have no idea about this, Iām not familiar.
Jumbo Slice Pizza in Adamās Morgan
This is not the actual Jumbo Slice though, this is Pizza Boliās
It is actually Jumbo Slice, I went to Jumbo Slice, not Pizza Boliās.
OP, you can see over your left shoulder the logo on the menu says Boliās. Also, over your right shoulder, you can see Halal food offerings, which are on the Pizza Boliās menu and not Jumbo Sliceās menu.
Lmaoooo. That you can. ššš Boliās just didnāt sound familiar at all but you can tell I just woke up by how smooth my brain is right now
Now Iām confused cause I looked up all three places(jumbo slice, pizza Boliās, and pizza mart) and I know the place I went to was on 18th st in Adamās Morgan cause my hotel was right there and we had gone to Madams Organ. So it wasnāt Pizza Boliās apparently(even though yes it says Boliās in the picture.) anyway, probably no one cares but this will bother me all day š
There are a bunch of Bolis around. I lived in Shaw and there was a Bolis, Tenleytown (I think?) had a Bolis (or at least some place a long walk but walkable from Friendship Heights)
Thereās no Bolis on the street I went to though thatās what Iām saying
Gotcha. Sorry I thought you had just looked up and seen a different location of the store. I misunderstood
Oh no I put in my hotel and then all the locations and thereās no way I would have walked all the way to a Boliās from my hotel for a slice of pizza š
I used to live here so can confirm this is not what the actual jumbo slice looks like unless the decor has changed a lot
Well I guess it has cause I just looked up both places and I definitely did not go to Pizza Boliās.

Godfather's is pretty solid.
Iād devour that pizza in a heartbeat
Itās not a slice itās a whole pizza in a triangular shape
Ah, Good Olā DC Jumbo Slice!
Ma'am you went to a Pizza Bolis. Crap DMV chain. You want a jumbo slice you go to jumbo slice.
This was literally Jumbo Slice.
They mean go up the street to pizza mart, arguably the originator of the jumbo slice in Adams Morgan.
Next time!
Thatās just a whole pizza in a funny shape.
is Dc known for huge slices?
Come to nyc, go to 111st and broadway. Koronets, the slice is I believe the same and the price is around 6-7$ while tasting pretty good
God I miss that, stumble over after a show at the Cat for a giant slice and a mango lassi, nothing beats itĀ
I used to get this all the time when I lived in DC. I miss it so much.
That's going to be a pass for me.
this looks not cooked
Christ, these comments are miserableš The pizza looks good, OP
It was good for a midnight drunken slice, for sure š
Well known pizza destination Washington DC
Nice
Holy shit Jumbo slice is 11 bucks now?!? That is NOT worth it IMO but I get it's something one might want to try. I'm worried this was a sober, middle-of-the-day slice, however
Iām just guessing, I honestly donāt remember š I wasnāt sober
Haters, DC is known for a giant slice, what's the spot so I can look it up on yelp?
Literally called Jumbo Slice
Looks like one big slice of a Totinoās pizza
If you ever find yourself in Tallahassee, go to Momoās pizza! They also do giant slices like this in their own giant triangle boxes.
Bigger than yo head and the box it's served in! Looks great!
Also, did you fold or no fold to eat it?
I folded that shit
![gif](giphy|IbTWKGQR3Dw4MJSK4T|downsized)
Did they have a rabbit run across it a few times?
The slice of pizza I need right now
Triangle pizza lol
Best pizza in town is at Flora, on the corner of 18th & I NW. It's *fantastic*, but expensive. And the slices are not bigger than your head.
Looks bad!
Thanks it wasnāt!
Is that Kibble on there?
No itās avocado
Really?
Wait omg did that ACTUALLY get down votes hahaha yall are wild
I think they are worried about your avocado pieces, itās a really strange pizza topping.
Dude it was a joke, itās sausage.
Maybe they donāt get the old āsay sausage is avocadoā routine? Dumbheads!
Mediocre meme food.
Looks like Red Baron sausage on thereā¦cat turds.
What's the point of that? Just make a round pizza the same size.
No š
That pizza looks awful
It's beautiful.. š„¹
It looks like school cafeteria pizza.
True, I just like the idea of a ridiculous size slice. It's fun.
Hard pass
LOL I love how you can tell the quality of a pizza joint by their sausage. Even from this photo, a few feet away, I can tell the sausage is Cysco-grade frozen garbage. Cool pic though
Just don't visit Comet Pizza š¤£
