Reasons you might be near the Watergate this weekend:
1. You live near there.
2. There’s an installation by a South African puppet company at the Kennedy Center, and, well, you’re really into those.
3. You like pizza.
As for that last one, here’s Campono, a sharp-looking new pizza joint from legendary DC chef Bob Kinkead, open as of a couple hours ago.
This place is all windows, stacked hardwood that goes into the 800-degree pizza oven and shelves of pickles. So far, so good.
Step inside. Immediately to your left: a coffee-and-gelato counter where they’ll make you a gelato milkshake. Hold off on that a bit.
Head all the way to your right, where you’ll find four beer taps (Moretti, Stone IPA). Also: a person who will fire you up pies with fresh clams and hot peppers, or pistachio pesto and mortadella. Maybe a pork-and-broccoli-rabe sub for good measure.
But show up early, and you can fatten up those pizzas with bacon, sunny-side eggs or carbonara sauce and pancetta.
Goes well with coffee.
