Washington pizza lovers and carb enthusiasts—get ready for the ultimate indulgence! Buffalo & Bergen’s new Cleveland Park location just unveiled its latest crave-worthy concept: The Carb Bar, a flavor-packed pizza and pocket paradise from Gina Chersevani and her husband, Neil Dundee.
Inspired by Chersevani’s Italian-American roots and Long Island childhood favorites, The Carb Bar serves handcrafted pizza, hot pockets, and pastries that turn carbs into a culinary artform. Highlights include:
- The Lucifer ($20) – Spicy perfection with red sauce, salami, pecorino, hot honey & chili flakes
- The Kicked-In ($22) – A mushroom lover’s dream with beech, maitake, shiitake & mozzarella
- The Honey Love Pocket ($11) – Mortadella, stracciatella, arugula, honey & pistachios wrapped in flaky dough
- Morning pastries & danishes that rival your favorite European bakery
The dough magic comes from Dundee’s years of research and experimentation—his signature rye flour crust is a game-changer in the Washington DC pizza scene.
Add to that a secret wine list with rare Italian bottles, plus classic pours like Chianti and Pinot Grigio by the glass, and you’ve got the best pizza and wine combo in Cleveland Park.
