Absolutely excellent vegan Detroit Pizza! The tomato sauce is so good, the vegan cheese is great too, not stinky or weird, and trust me, I know something about vegan cheese on pizza. This one is approved. It's a soft fluffy and crispy dough which makes this experience really rich and completely worth. We had a chance to be served by the creator cook herself, very friendly, she passionately cares of 'her baby pizza'. It's nice to see such people working hard with love. We had night before also the classic cheese pizza in regular style. It was excellent too. It seems like they are giving away their pizza at the happy hour, the price then is too amazing...

Yummy thick pizzas and decent happy hour deals. Located on the corner of busy U street with some indoor seating & great outdoor seating. A quick 10 min walk from U street metro stop. A new DC fave for a bite on a night out

The Detroit style pizza was good. However, they were charging tips without providing any services. It was more of a self-service restaurant as they only delivered the food at the table. Everything else, we have to go and get it, so I don't know why they would charge tips beforehand. That's the only issue I had, but everything else was good.

Detroit style pizza has quickly become my favorite style of pizza. Thick but light and fluffy crust, wisconsin brick cheese, and great sauce. I got the OG pepperoni and it was delicious. Whenever I walk by it always smells unreal, so finally came in one day for a quick bite before the bars. I recommend splitting one pie for two people if you are looking to keep it light. One whole pizza for one person will probably put you out of commission for a couple hours. We didn't try the cocktails but they had a decent selection of beers. They offer indoor and outdoor seating and being off of 14th street, parking is gonna be difficult but not impossible. The staff is friendly and quick, I highly recommend if you are in the mood for detroit style. I would also recommend Little Beast Bistro up Connecticut Ave in Chevy Chase.

I am obsessed with this place. I just moved to the city and I’ve been here twice already. I love thick pizza and this place just hits the spot. The patio/outside dining area is fun and casual. They have a decent drink selection (I’ve had cocktails, seltzers, and wine here before). The gordie sticks are good but the vodka dipping sauce?! That’s what makes those so damn good. My favorite pizza choices are the Motown and the 6 mile. I love the diverse pizza toppings and combinations. I will continue to come back here - I love this pizza!!

Some of the best Detroit style pizza I’ve had. Get the classic cheese. It really doesn’t need anything else. Great happy hour specials. Half off a couple of their pizzas

It may be called Red Light but, by all means, GO! ...Cheesy, but couldn't help it. So yea, first time here and ordered the "Classic Cheese" to provide me a base palette for their Detroit Style. INCREDIBLE Look, every restaurant has a different take on their pizza let alone pizza style, but Red Light has nailed it for the DC areas' best Detroit Style pizza IMO. Mouthwatering flavor from crispy edge to crispy edge, this thick pizza is prepared masterfully, cooked to the limit. No complaints from this pizza patron only that looking forward to the next visit distracts me from trying others... Rating this pizza a 4.4 (out of 5)

If you think DC doesn't know pizza, you've never been to the Red Light. Their Detroit Style pizza rivals some of the best in it's class. The OG Pepperoni was perfect, the cheese was plentiful and tasty, the sauce had a kick, the pepperoni gave the perfect kick. Couple great pizza with great drinks and fantastic service, this place is a triple threat.
