Pizzaria Uno, Georgetown, D.C.

After wandering through Georgetown to see and photograph the CNO Canal and the famed "Exorcist" staircase following Evensong tonight, Ryan was hungry, so we wandered in to Pizzaria Uno, a Chicago-based chain which originally served as a simple pizzaria but now has evolved to have a full menu in that national-franchise-bar-with-food tradition.

The great excitement of the menu, though, was our dinner: a bacon cheeseburger deep-dish pizza. You know, of course, how much Ryan loves hamburgers. It was, surprisingly, actually pretty good (although it could have used about three more minutes in the oven so that even the thickest parts of the crust would be fully baked). They topped the pizza with ground beef, cheese, bacon bits, chopped dill pickle, and diced tomatoes with a mustardy sauce underneath. It was just like eating a real burger!



We had a nice waiter, but the service was extremely slow. I don't know if he was really, really busy with other tables in another room of the restaurant or what, but we had many long periods when we didn't see him. Perhaps he's new; when he brought our change, he failed to break the large bills, which meant we didn't have the right denominations for a 10-, 15-, or 20% tip and he ended up with less than we should have left him. Oh, well, he'll learn.
