Range's Pizza Chef Is Well-Known in DC Kitchens

Eater DC reports that the restaurant's pizza chef is Edan MacQuaid, who has made pizzas at Pizzeria Paradiso, 2Amys, Local 16, Graffiato, Pizzeria Orso, Red Rocks and Ardeo + Bardeo.

Range isn't all about meat. It's got good pizza covered, too.

Eater DC reported that the restaurant's pizza chef is Edan MacQuaid, "who most recently made pies at Local 16 [1602 U St. NW, Washington, DC] and has worked in just about every popular pizza joint in town," Eater DC added.

"An Eater writer spotted the cook at [Range] ... over the weekend and confirmed the move," Eater DC added.

MacQuaid was let go from Local 16 on Nov. 17, he told The Washington Post. He wanted to open a pizzeria on 14th St. NW, DC, but didn't have the funds, The Post reported.

Before Local 16, MacQuaid made pizza at Graffiato, Pizzeria Orso, Red Rocks, Ardeo + Bardeo, 2Amys and Pizzeria Paradiso, The Post reported. After being laid off by Local 16, MacQuaid was optimistic, telling The Post in November that "I like making pizza. It seems like there are a lot of pizzerias."

 

Range is celebrity chef Bryan Voltaggio's newest restaurant, and is located inside the recently renovated Chevy Chase Pavilion, at the intersection of Wisconsin and Western avenues in Friendship Heights.
