It's been a rumor rampant in the JDLand comment threads for a number of weeks, but this morning signage went up confirming that
Wiseguy Pizza will be coming to the former Park Tavern/Il Parco space in
Canal Park.
What was not rumored is that there will also be a gelato and coffee offering as well, which should go well with the space's location immediately next to the park's fountains in summer and ice rink in winter.
A JDLand reader on Twitter
reports that the workers hanging the signs said that Wiseguy would open in about three months, but We Shall See.
This will be Wiseguy's third DC location.
