Franconia Pizza, Alexandria VA
Franconia Pizza shoot was another one I got to take a close friend along for the ride to, and 495 being an absolute nightmare for no good reason turned a potential 35 minute of a commute into over-an-hour each way with no thanks to the 4pm appointment time that I absolutely loathe any time I…

Manny & Olga’s Pizza, MD and DC
We all know Manny & Olga’s and I got to shoot them a few times at different locations, and they are absolutely worth it over national chains!
-
Manhattan Pizza, VA and MD
Sprawled out local chain totaling 14 locations across MD and VA, and I got to shoot 3 of the VA ones. Pretty decent food here for the type of place that they are, but a far cry from Big Apple like most spots in DMV. Much better food than America’s Best, anything with that name…

Red Kabob, Leesburg VA
Red Kabob was a welcoming spot who understood the value of visual marketing in our day and age and their food absolutely deserved it! Nice presentation of kabobs here with the bread laid on top unlike in most other Afghan places I’ve been to. This spot is worth a visit if you happen to be…

Plaka Grill, Vienna VA
Plaka was a straight-forward shoot at a nice sister location Greek spot out in Vienna VA.

George’s Steak N Things, Fairfax Station VA
George’s was a very cute American and Greek spot with lovely decor and perhaps the best grilled wings I’ve seen in quite a while.

Marx Cafe Revolutionary Cuisine, Mt Pleasant Washington DC
Marx Cafe Revolutionary Cuisine was a cute little spot in Mt Pleasant main strip and did a somewhat unique Italian and Greek mix that I haven’t really seen before.

Gyroland, Rockville MD
Gyroland was a very fun and a little challenging of a shoot since I had to get with all sorts of colors of lighting before, during, and after sunset as the owner and her line cooks were rolling out the shmeats and various dips. The vibe was amazing and I’ve been back there several times…

Gypsy’s Truckstaurant, Clipper Mill, Baltimore MD
Gypsy’s Truckstaurant was definitely a neat shoot since it’s a place that rooted down their food truck in a fairly odd and end of a location and continued to serve nice selection of food from there. Cones were a very neat item to see and they brilliantly add mobility to something like a crab cake.
-
Vasos Mediterranean, Alexandria VA
In terms of food and decor and staff and even owners – Vasos is excellent! When it comes to grabbing my personal shots of the interior and blatantly using them on their website without a sliver of permission, after discussing a proper interior shoot and even a virtual tour. Just goes to show you how…
-
Shirlington Halal Pizza Restaurant, Shirlington VA
Shirlington Halal Pizza I got to shoot several times over the years and they’re actually really good, probably due to being in a fairly random location and qualify as a hole in a wall with a tiny window sill of a workspace/table. Definitely recommend this place if you happen to pass by them.

Azitouna Pizza, Washington DC – Story
Azitouna Pizza is a solid takeout spot off of Martin Luther King Jr Avenue in Southeast DC. Their footlong subs are 12 inches long and large pizzas are bigger than most due to being cut in 16 slices instead of 8! The food is great though. The stats from the owner’s mouth himself as he…
-
Rome Pizza & Sub, Washington DC
Rome Pizza & Subs is an excellent 2-level restaurant in Frendship Heighs area on the tip of DC and Bethesda. Family run by a couple that love food, so all the dishes taste awesome and are made with much love and care. I highly recommend checking them out if you’re out for Italian. Got to…
-
Apollo Restaurant, Rockville MD
Apollo Restaurant is a nice place for some American and Greek dishes with hearty portions if you are in Rockville Town Center, MD. Shawarma, souvlaki, and gyro are definitely the items to order! I highly recommend checking them out. Nice and easy shoot at a place I passed by more times than I can count…

Cafe Paramount, Crystal City VA
Crystal City, VA, houses many excellent restaurants, but only one absolutely fantastic and proper deli – Cafe Paramount. The sandwiches here are made with love and are very hearty because the owner loves her customers and all of them keep coming back for more! Highly recommend this deli! Funny enough I’ve shot this place twice,…
