Founders Michael Lastoria and Steve Salis have changed the landscape of pizza in Washington, D.C.  With a love of D.C.'s emerging financial and cultural diversity, Lastoria and Salis saw it as the perfect place for an urban, edgy concept like &pizza. &pizza opened its first store in the H Street Corridor of Washington, D.C. Since then, it's multiplied in numbers and has even expanded beyond the D.C. Metropolitan area to now include Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Good pizza waits for no one.
