What people say, in short
Duccini's is a late-night jumbo slice spot in DC that many diners recommend for its massive, filling slices and good value, with several calling it the go-to place for jumbo slice or delivery-style pizza in the city. The slices are described as huge, thick and very greasy, which some enjoy after a night out but one diner found off-putting for its spicy sauce. Two commenters feel quality has declined since before the pandemic while prices have gone up.
