Junk Food Nation, my friend Pooja, a former classmate of mine, is about to open a brand new pizza restaurant here in Washington DC’s Adams Morgan neighborhood!  A Georgia-originated pizza franchise, Mellow Mushroom features craft beer and great pizza.  Moreover, each Mellow Mushroom has a different design/feel.  This store’s theme was more carnival/circus.

Anyways, DC’s first Mellow Mushroom opens on Monday – tomorrow!  Pooja had a Friends and Family event last night, and I was fortunate enough to attend.  Although I plan on coming back and giving you guys a FULL REVIEW of this pizza spot later on, I wanted to give you a brief sneak peak into DC’s newest pizza haven – before it even opens!

Sorry for some of the weirdly lit shots – it was a madhouse last night and I was just trying to snap as many pics as possible.  I hope you enjoy this little photo journey through the evening!  See you tomorrow for Awkward Mondays!

Beautiful storefront

Bright lights, big city

Coming soon! Like...tomorrow!

The awesomest/scariest light fixture around

Open kitchen

Like a Ford Model T assembly line

24 drafts, 50 bottles = drinks and things

I love cartoons!

The Capri

The House Special

A little slice of heaven

BBQ Chicken

Smoky caramelized onions

Even the napkins were branded! Love it.
