All the pizza I've tried in Arlington is the same bland thin but floppy crust. I don't mind it sometimes but I like a nice thick or pan pizza every now and then.

Any recommendations for pizza that's not paper thin?

East coast likes thin crust, a la NY style. The best ones have the bubbles.

The crust is just empty calories anyway, merely a conveyance for the toppings.

I agree with your reason why but a lot of the time I want something to chew on and absorb all the flavors instead of just a cracker with some cheese on top if you catch my drift

Oh you're talking that kind of thin crust. I thought OP was talking about NY style.

This is pretentious. Might as well go eat a taco if you feel this way.

Italian store and Andy’s (Tysons Galleria) both have good Sicilian pies.

Badd pizza in FC does a “buffalo style” that’s thick crust. Not even sure what buffalo style is when it does not involve hot sauce, and it’s pretty floppy. We just get it with the wings, which are pretty legit.

I endorse. Add Tony’s NY Pizza (Fair Oaks) and Luciano’s (Vienna).

Try out Old Dominion! Their “grandma style” is so good.

Ive been to Italian store many many times and I am now just learning they have Sicilian pizza. Probably should have looked at the menu a bit closer!

not sure if you’re looking for true Deep Dish. But if you’re not and you’re ok with Detroit style, Emmy Squared is great

Nighthawk pizza in Pentagon city has a really good Detroit style that is a thick crust. Also Badd pizza in falls church does thicker Buffalo style pizza

Thanks for the tip! I was looking at the Nighthawk menu around the time I posted this. Was a little annoyed that they're charging an extra $5 for a Detroit style pizza (8x10 = 80 sq inches) that's half the size of their regular pizza (14 inch circle -> 49*pi = 153 sq inches).

I get that it's thicker/ more dough but it's already a $16 personal cheese pizza don't need to add $5 for a different style.

Still going to give them a shot though, maybe it's worth the extra.

Funny, I know how you feel! When I lived in Arlington I got Pizza Hut for the first time in a long ass time because I wanted their pan pizza.

Because they don’t know how to make it with flavor so they just make it thin and make up for the lack of flavor in the crust with tons topping
