Ghostline Is Losing Its Ghost Kitchen and Hopes You’ll Stick Around and Eat

Back in July, I had a long conversation with restaurateur Aaron Gordon , the owner of Logan Circle’s Red Light and Chevy Chase’s Little Beast. It was not a hopeful one. Citing the history of vaccines and their long timetables, Gordon felt that “the idea of indoor restaurants is going to be dead for a long time.” At that point, he was thinking four or five years. For that very reason, he’d open Ghostline, a takeout/delivery-only mini “ghost food hall” in Glover Park. A handful of chefs would do their own thing under one roof, and you could order one’s ramen and another’s Detroit pizza at the same time, on the same bill.

“Where should we get a pie?” In the last year, the number of ways to answer that question has skyrocketed. Whether you’re craving Detroit, Neapolitan, New York, or even a DC-style slice, there’s a brand-new pizzeria for you.

Mexico-born chef Alfredo Solis (also behind Mezcalero and El Sol) has added Mexican pizzas to the seafood-centric menu at this Columbia Heights dining room. Crispy crusts bolster delicious toppings including a blistered-poblano chile relleno with Chihuahua and Oaxacan cheeses; sweet shrimp with chorizo, avocado, and salsa; and a riff on the kitchen’s excellent chicken mole.
