The address of All Purpose Pizza (AP Pizza) is 4747 Bethesda Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814, Maryland.

Former Seylou Bakery employees Andrea Alvarez and Charbel Abrache opened Red Hound Pizza, a new pizza located at 7050 Carroll Ave. in Takoma Park, MD. They provide distinctive square pizzas that combine Sicilian and Roman flavors, emphasizing components that are sourced locally, such as freshly ground flour. Red Hound Pizza’s famous square pies are the product of a trip to Italy and a great deal of research. It is said that the crust has a pleasing crispiness and is light, fluffy, and focaccia-like.
