Ice ‘n Slice

Ordered the Merkato Pizza and it was 10/10. The tibs was flavored really well and perfectly tender. The onions, tomatoes and seasoning along with the side of honey worked amazing together. I’m excited to try the rest of the combinations cuz this one really hit well!

Store owners were INCREDIBLY kind. They made our group feel super welcome and not to mention their pizza and ice cream is delicious. 10/10 would recommend. Also, if you’re a Howard student, you get 10% off. Show them some love!!!

Wow, I hadn't ever thought of putting Ethiopian food on pizza, but it works. So. Well. Highly recommend giving it a try. Also, the staff were very friendly. I will be going back.

From the owners of beloved Heat Da Spot further down Georgia Avenue N.W. comes Ice N Slice, a takeout only food and ice cream shop. My five-year-old daughter and I went right then they opened at 11:30 a.m. on an August Friday. With a short wait, we ordered an ice cream for each of us. Here's our experience:

1) Ice cream: They have around a dozen flavors from a Philadelphia-based ice cream company that started in 1861. Behind the glass of ice cream is a row of toppings from sprinkles to cereal. My five-year-old daughter ordered the strawberry ice cream with sprinkles in a sugar cone and I had a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough in a cup. The ice cream was decent. The best in the city? Absolutely not, but not bad.

2) Service: It's always so great! They are kind, efficient, and treat you like family.

3) Space: There's an outdoor patio with several tables.

They also sell breakfast sandwiches, pizza, and a few other food items. There's street parking nearby.

Superb, imaginative pizza! We got the kitfo and the doro wat—the kitfo was kind of like sausage pizza (the beef is cooked!), but fresher, with a lovely herbal flavor. The doro wat pizza has total barbecue chicken vibes.

The proprietor was there and so friendly, pressing us to have some ice cream on the house! The food was pretty quick to come out, too.

There’s only outdoor seating, 5-6 four-top tables. You order and receive your food through the window, so COVID safety seems really good.

It’s right in the neighborhood, so I know we’ll be back!
