Extreme Pizza To Open on Barracks Row
by Larry Janezich
An Extreme Pizza franchise is on the cusp of opening in the space formerly occupied by Orchid at 520 8th Street, SE. There it will join four other pizza providers: &Pizza, Pizza Boli’s, Matchbox, and Mediterranean Café.
According to the websites of two Arlington outlets, the restaurant will offer salads, subs, calzones and wings in addition to pizza. You can check out the menu for the Pentagon City location here: http://bit.ly/3bRAvNY
According to Wikipedia, the company was founded in San Francisco in 1994 and has more than 30 locations in the US. The theme of West Coast restaurants is extreme sports, and the décor features photos of athletes in action. Restaurants on the East Coast differ in that they reflect the style and local of the neighborhood.
CAPITOL HILL CORNER 
After careful protection and partial restoration of the old Senarts Coca Cola and oyster advertising on the alley side of the building several years ago, these guys painted over part of the sign in the alley to let us know they sell pizza. I saw them finishing up the new paint job last week or so. Someone from CHRS should let them know they should not have done this.
a quick check of Google Steetview will show you what they painted over.
