That pic of big slice makes me want to gack. LOL

Words fail me. That's even bigger than a slice from Angelo's in Hampden, and a few days ago I would have called that the definitive jumbo slice.

That looks really, really good. mmmm

MMMMM..... Now if only it were dripping with pepperoni. If I knew where to get one with regularity, I might just be twice my current weight.

Salivation.

You could feed a whole developing country from that.

Having lived in DC for a long time, there is plenty of pizza around that is much better than Pizza Mart in Adams Morgan (which is the definitive jumbo slice in DC and is in the picture above). Baltimore's pizza options are definitely as good, if not better, than DC's. I've always loved Marias in Timonium. Matthews is great as well.

Gil's Pizza on Belair Road used to be THE pizza to get back in the late 70s.

that is one big honkin' slice in the picture above.

Y'all are just size queens. I'd hold that taste, quality of crust, etc. are all a lot more important than size.

However, I'd try a slice. Can't be any worse than the pizza choices where I went to college (when you order triple garlic in hopes that it'll drown out the bad sauce, cheese and crust on the best pie in town, you know you are in pizza hell)..

Jumbo Slice, you sure that's not a new rap act?

If that pizza was in my house, I'd be cutting it into 3 slices - maybe more!

When eating a Jumbo Slice, one is not seeking out the best pizza but rather a cure to the post night-out-binge munchies. For that purpose, they are about the best thing out there. One time someone nailed me with the old shaker trick there where they almost entirely screwed off the top to the bulk garlic powder container, causing me to dump the entire contents of the container on my Jumbo Slice after a shake or two. I swept off the pile and still ate it. Those were the days...

Rob in PCB FL, Gil's is STILL fabulous after all these years, even under its new ownership. The pictured slice is almost the size of a whole Gil's pizza, but I'll bet real money that it's not as tasty!

I just had a Jumbo Slice last weekend in Adam's Morgan. At the time, it was excellent. And then I woke up the next morning...

Sidenote: a friend I was with told me that a very inebriated girl shared a cab with her the previous weekend to the Metro stop with a Jumbo Slice stuffed in her purse. When the random girl got out, she had to dig through grease, cheese and sauce to find her cash. GACK!!

how much does a jumbo slice go for?

I just moved to Baltimore a few months ago, and on more than one late night occasion I have DEFINITELY contemplated moving back to DC just for the Jumbo Slice. Although, to be fair, I actually prefer Alberto's Chicken Basil slice across 18th Street from the Pizza Mart. Haven't found anything in B-more that comes close to either, but love the city anyway. :)

A little off topic, but some of these threads have reminded me of when I was in college and Ledo's in College Park was IT! Am I just forgetting or was that a totally different pizza than the Ledo's chain stores sell? I seem to remember that yes, it was square (they've got that part down) but wasn't the crust sort of a pie crust instead of a pizza crust? I could just be geezing here, lot's of miles and time between now and then, but I wonder...

There is no off-topic on this blog. EL

I think I've been to the College Park Ledo's once in my misspent youth. All I remember is that the pepperoni was the worst tasting stuff imaginable. I think it was beef based, not pork. As I think about it, vague memory says the crust was odd, but I don't recall how or why. I came away wondering what the big deal was. Never been back.

The Ledo's crust is indeed more like pie crust than pizza crust. People seem to either love or hate Ledo's pizza. I'm firmly in the "hate" camp.

Some of us "geeze" all the time.

I have a t-shirt at home that says in large print:

That pizza looks so delicious. I agree with the above comment(s) requesting pepperoni. That would make that slice of jumbo heaven perfect.

HATE Ledos pizza.
