Rebel Taco Cantina doesn’t plan to reopen on U Street NW until D.C.’s indoor dining restrictions allow at least 50 percent capacity, so in the meantime, the short-lived Mexican bar is turning into a pizza pop-up that sells wood-fired pies topped with taco fillings and drizzled with jalapeno-infused oil.
The pop-up, dubbed Rebel Margherita, will start selling a menu of 11-inch Neapolitan-style pizzas for takeout and delivery at 1214 U Street NW from Wednesday, February 3, through at least the end of the month. Hours are 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday; and Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.
