Editorial Review

With several types of pizza sold by the slice, piping hot pies available for pick-up and bags of floury dough in the back for those who want to try their hands at the sumptuous pizzas at home, this popular destination fulfills most pizza-related needs with some of the finest specialty Italian goods in the area. The simple cheese pizza has the perfect ratio of cheese and tangy tomato sauce to forgiving dough, while the white pizza is redolent of garlic. The Italian Store also caters to non-pizza needs with sandwiches, a deli case of pasta salads and olives and a small market area. The market sells fresh mozzarella, select wines, Italian delicacies, refrigerated pastas and sauce and other treats. The authentic hoagie-style sandwiches and slices of pizza make it a prime and popular takeout destination, so be prepared for long lines during lunch hours.

Best Italian in Arlington

Posted by chas11man | Sep 29, 2009 | Mark as Inappropriate

Along with five guys, the Italian Store may be the best restaurant in Arlington based on price, taste, and quality. They have great pizza and cold side dishes that you can buy to eat just outside the store or take home for later...not that there would be any leftovers. If you aren't looking for a pre-made meal, the store carries what seems like countless authentic high quality Italian ingredients in a very small area. You will undoubtedly want to return again and again.

Great Subs

The subs are the best Italian subs in the DC area. The bread is that great hard sub roll.
