Italian Restaurant Piece Out Opens In Del Ray

ALEXANDRIA, VA — From the owners of St. Elmo's Coffee Pub, Market 2 Market and Cafe Pizzaiolo comes Piece Out, a new Italian restaurant in Del Ray. The restaurant is now open at 2419 Mount Vernon Avenue, the former location of Catch on the Ave.

The opening was first reported by Alexandria Living Magazine. According to Eater DC, food is being prepared for takeout due to the pandemic, but limited seating is available.

Eater DC reported that the owners' Cafe Pizzaiolo location in Shirlington is not reopening, but the other location on Fern Street in Alexandria is open.

Piece Out's initial menu is largely focused on pizzas with an array of options like pastas, sandwiches, sides and desserts. Diners can choose from specialty pizzas like the pork ragu pizza, create a custom pie or purchase a slice.

The 2419 Mount Vernon Avenue location has seen a number of restaurants in recent years. Caboose Cafe, an Ethiopian restaurant from Rhoda Worku, became a Del Ray favorite from 2004 to 2017. Snackbar opened in its place in 2017 before closing in September 2018. The space was last occupied by Catch on the Ave, a seafood-focused restaurant that closed in late 2019 after nearly a year in operation.

Hours at Piece Out beginning on July 20 are Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sundays from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. and closed Mondays.
