Well, we really don't have those in DC per say. Working in the pizza "biz" I like to familiarize myself with all the pizza joints in town (and yep, I still think ours is the best).
Our "native" style is the Jumbo Slice. Yeah made everywhere else, but apparently a DC thing.

I've never had this filth. It's popular in Adams Morgan which is not far from us, but it's a late night boozers dream.
Really, the only other style that's popular is the fancy, individual Neopolitan style. Expensive, and often mediocre. Obviously, we have a bunch of takeout joints, but they're usually pretty terrible. Our style mimics that of New Haven (East Haven to be specific). Fairly thin crust, very bread like, crispy and a slight char on the bottom. Extremely particular with our toppings to ensure they're all cooked correctly and seasoned right.
I do know what you're talking about as we had some great little joints where I grew up in MA. Lots of Greeks opening up pizza places and they had an interesting and delicious take on pizza. Plus, I really miss Papa Ginos (maybe only Pup knows them). Loved that place as a kid.
(Yes, I'm a pizza fanatic and love it!
