What I don’t get is WHY people are even comparing the two joints. Yes, the word “pizza” is involved in both, but its a totally different style of pizza, different atmosphere etc. Kind of apples and oranges in my opinion.

I like Red Rocks, and have said so in the past (but probably as “anon” ur- I mean shareholder of the Red Rocks forthcoming dynasty…)

And the whole “value” thing? Sheesh… simply having MORE food (toppings, sauce, cheese, whathaveyou) isn’t always a good thing. I actually do “value” a minimalist euro-style pizza now and again.

There are so many occasions for a meal in a lifetime, and room on my palate for both kinds of pizza. For this I am Thankful.

One day 11th street will look more like Mt. P Street and it will be more worth it to go there, but for now . . .

Or maybe that smell is the chili dogs…

… to enjoy a much better pizza.

Well, not to get into a technical debate about neighborhood boundaries and so forth, but really — Red Rocks is about two blocks from the border of Petwotrh, and Moroni Brothers is only in Petworth by nature of being on the east side of Georgia Avenue, and only a few blocks from the northern edge, too. And of course Red Rocks is much closer to the Petworth Metro station. Given that, there are probably about as many Petworthians (are you truly worthy?) in walking distance of Red Rocks as Moroni Brothers.

So I live in Columbia Heights but I could probably spit on Petworth from my roof. Oh yes, I can see the whites of your eyes from my outpost on 11th Street. If it comes to an all-out war with my enemies to the east, I am not afraid to hock gigantic loogies your way. And remember – we have $2 chili dogs at Wonderland to use as ammunition, too. So watch out.

oden: You just did it again. As for Moroni actually being “IN” Petworth, umm, maybe you didn’t notice but this post is actually about Red Rocks, and not Moroni Brothers?

Let me try to put this another way. I’m not dissing Moroni Brothers. Never have. Never even eaten there. I just get very tired of reading from all the Moroni Brothers fans about how great it is in every discussion… about RED ROCKS. Guys, guess what? WE GET IT!! And guess what else? I live two blocks from Red Rocks. There are a lot of people who live much closer to Red Rocks than Moroni Brothers, just as I’m sure the opposite is true. The people who own and run Red Rocks are great, and I like both the pizza and atmosphere well enough. And the beer list too. So I’m sorry, but I’m going to go there a lot. There are probably better places in the city, but there aren’t any that I can walk to. I don’t care if Moroni Brothers guarantees and orgasm with every pizza, I’m not walking half and hour up Georgia Avenue to get one when Red Rocks is a couple blocks away.
