Laura Barclay of Main Street Takoma announced Tuesday that Red Hound Pizza, a new restaurant by partners Charbel Abrache and Andrea Alvarez, is coming to 7050 Carroll Ave. in Takoma Park.
Abrache leads the pastry team at Seylou Bakery and Mill in D.C.’s Shaw district, where he created the bakery’s popular pizza program and developed recipes using freshly milled whole grain flours and alternative grains.
Following their genuine passion for pizza, the couple created Red Hound Pizza, inspired by their basset hound.
“Red Hound Pizza will use freshly milled flour from local and regenerative sources and will include the partners’ favorite aspects of both Roman and Sicilian style pizza-making,” Barclay said. “The menu will offer a seasonal, rotating variety of pizza toppings, salads and focaccia sandwiches, as well as a selection of desserts. To encourage sampling the seasonal variations on rotation, Red Hound Pizza will offer pizza by the slice in addition to whole pizzas.”
Red Hound Pizza plans to open this spring, replacing Main Street Pearl, which closed last year at the end of their lease.
