It isn’t really a restaurant but I guess the people working at the counter do a decent job. If only they could wipe the angry look off their faces. Maybe people should start tipping them more.

I like the pizza here better than the pizza at 2 Amys or Pizzeria Paradiso. It is that good. Actually I have traveled through Italy and also spend copious amounts of time in New York and Chicago and I think pizza from Vace can go toe-to-toe with pizza from anywhere else in the world. As a matter of fact there sandwiches are also delicious.
Decor - NA
Well it is sort of a small supermarket / takeout place so let’s just say it is a couple of steps below the Mandarin Oriental.
Feel - C
I sort of wish they handled customers more efficiently. I’ve sat in line for 20 minutes before - and that was with 2 people in front of me. At any rate, the pizza is good enough that they can take their sweet ass time but let me recommend calling in ahead of time for your order so it is ready when you get there.
What’s the Buzz:
December 2, 2004 - Vace (Drift Reality) - Vace, located at 3315 Connecticut Ave in Cleveland Park, has the best pizza for miles. The ingredients are extremely fresh and the slices are a perfect size. Compared to the crap that you get in Adams Morgan, Vace’s slices are on another level. Granted, you probably couldn’t wrap Vace’s slices around you like a cape in case you were cold like you could with slices from Adams Morgan, but who the hell would do something disgusting like that anyway?
