   It started off a little rocky because there was a table taking forever to leave but the staff was able to make accommodations for us which ended up being really fun because my dad and I got to watch the game and enjoy our pizza. The shrimp pizza is AMAZing and the butternut squash pizza was delicious and surprising. Great pizza and a great time!

   Food was sub-par and service took way too long. We were going to a show, so we ordered drinks and a few apps. Took forever to get our drinks, and the apps took longer than if we'd ordered a regular entree. I don't fault the wait staff, as they were bustling all around to try and serve people, but there was too few of them to adequately handle the crowd. Last but not least, the bathrooms were atrocious. One toilet was not working and was in disgusting condition, the other had no toilet paper. We took a chance on this place, as it seemed convenient and we attend lots of shows in the area, however, after this experience, we won't be back.

   Great brick oven pizza. Super friendly staff. Great ambiance. We grabbed dinner here before a show at the 9:30 Club right across the street. Would highly recommend it!! You MUST try the Brussel sprout pizza!! Sooo good!

   Fantastic experience! The wait staff was knowledgeable and guided us to some delicious selections from the ever-changing menu. Split a meatball and the New Jersey pizza. I'm craving more Declaration in my life!

   Declaration has a cool and welcoming vibe, and GREAT Happy Hour every day! Very friendly staff and fabulous pizza. I live in Atlantic Plumbing and had a roof top party this past Fall, and ordered Pizza from Declaration....everyone asked about the pizza! Beyond delish! Definitely try it out when you're in this vibrant area of town.

    Timing of appetizers and main course coming out was off extremely so. The 4 appetizers for 4 people came out piece-meal over 5-10 minutes. And then the pizzas came out immediately afterward so that our table was extremely crowded. The manager came up immediately after this and didn’t say anything about the poor timing. The food was okay but not a great value. Would not return here.

    Went here before a show at the 9:30 Club. Staff was really friendly and the food was outstanding. My wife started with the caesar salad and it was fantastic. I started with the wings and although there were only 4 of them they were quite good, especially the blue cheese sauce. We shared the THOMAS MCKEAN, DE and it was really good. Never thought that I'd actually like pizza with brussel sprouts but we both really enjoyed it! We highly recommend Declaration

    I enjoyed the ambiance of Declaration but the food was just average and the chairs at the bar were not that comfortable. The staff was attentive and engaging, just wish the food was more memorable. Made my own pizza and got the burrata appetizer. Recommend the home made lemonade. Probably won't go back. Too many restaurants to try in my area.

    Declaration was awesome! Food is incredible, they had a tasting menu with pan seared scallops and a carrot risotto that was so good, plus the pizzas are amazing. Our server was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the restaurant and menu. Plus the decor is super cool with Founding Fathers' quotes and Ben Franklin on the pizza boxes! Would definitely recommend Declaration!

    Great ambiance, nice staff, delicious drinks. I believe they make their own gf crust, which was really nice. The pizza in general seemed to lack flavor, and my friend who got regular crust agreed. The flour-less chocolate cake for dessert was the BEST I've ever had!

    I went with a friend for the first time. John was our server and I was impressed with his menu knowledge and ability to guide us. We tried the Brussel sprouts, the wings and the steak sandwich. All were good and I recommend all of them. Please ask for John as your server as well. I look forward to coming back again soon.

    Couldn't speak more highly of our experience at Declaration in Shaw! We visited before a show at 9:30 Club. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and had great, honest recommendations for us. For appetizers, we had the burrata and brussel sprouts, which were both incredible. We had the Thomas Heyward pizza, which was good, but nothing too special. We splurged on dessert and got the Thomas Jefferson flourless brownie and oh my! it was delicious. We will definitely return!

    We went here before a show at the 9:30 club. We had a great meal and one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had in this city. The manager (Theodore) was extremely accommodating, courteous and followed up with us several times to make sure we were happy with our meal and our table. Our server was excellent as well. The deviled eggs were delish and the pizzas were really yummy. There's a good vibe too. Highly recommend this place!!

    First, there are apparently two locations, so make certain you have the right one.” The place has a cool vibe, extra friendly service and great food. We had 8 appetizers, each better than the next. The Brussel sprouts were gone in a heart beat. We ended the night with decadent donuts. We’ll be back.

    Declaration was a great choice for me and some friends visiting the area to meet up. The place is right in my neighborhood and I'd passed by many times on my way to the Atlantic Plumbing cinema. I'd describe it as a classy pub -- the kind of bar where you can order actually good food but still experience a bar scene. I ordered a delicious craft cocktail (this is a good place for those) and later we moved on to beers (there was a decent selection). We started with the brussel sprouts appetizer -- they were roasted with blue cheese and diced apples -- and we all absolutely loved it. Like we almost loaded up on brussel sprouts before our pizzas even came, and we noted the irony of our adult palates and how this would make all our parents so proud today. The pizza was really good, wood-fired pizza. I enjoyed the variety and creativity of the different toppings, and they were all delicious and savory. Note that this is nice restaurant pizza, and not $2 street pizza. There is a time and a place for $2 street pizza, and this is not the place. Come for a sophisticated pie. A really yummy, sophisticated pie. I don't think you'll regret it, because pizza + drinks + friends. Unless you don't like those things. I mean I don't know, I don't even know you. Oh, and last but definitely not least, all of the staff were attentive and really friendly. I'm looking forward to going back!

    We had an unusual white pizza with Brussels sprouts and loved it. And they were very kind while my 2-year old was not cooperating with a sit-down dinner, spilled his water, etc. My only gripe was that it isn’t apparent from the website or on the happy hour menu that you need to sit at the bar to get the happy hour specials, which makes a pretty big difference in cost when you’re dining with a 4-person family.

    We've visited Declaration four times as we live in the neighborhood. While the food is pretty good (tough to screw up pizza), the service has been terrible every time. They are wildly understaffed. The last time we dined two people up and left and we waited 30 minutes for our first drink.
