Andy's Pizza Seeks To Serve Up Pizza By The Slice, Pie In Alexandria

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Andy's Pizza, a local pizzeria that earned an international accolade, is planning to open a location in Old Town Alexandria.

Andy's Pizza is seeking a special use permit from the City of Alexandria for a change of ownership at 107 N. Fayette Street. That location formerly hosted Meggrolls, which Alexandria Living Magazine reported to be closed in early 2022.

Andy's Pizza first opened in 2018 as part of the Urbanspace food hall inside Tysons Galleria. Since then, it has opened new locations in DC's Shaw, Adams Morgan, NoMa (Streets Market) and Navy Yard (at Atlas Beew Works). Its pizza is also offered at Echo Park next to its Shaw location. In 2021, Andy's Pizza owner Andy Brown won the traditional pizza category at the International Pizza Expo's International Pizza Challenge.

The pizzeria offers New York-style pizza by the slice or pie, as well as starters like chicken tenders, wings and salads. Restaurant formats range from a full carryout location in DC's Shaw neighborhood to a full bar and dining area at the Tysons location. Proposed hours for the Alexandria location are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday to Thursday and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. 2 a.m. Friday to Saturday.

The city received the special use permit application on July 14 and will accept public comments through Aug. 2.
