WASHINGTON -- While opinions on which restaurant offers the best pizza in the nation's capital can differ wildly depending on the person you ask, it's safe to say that Spike Mendelsohn's We, The Pizza ranks in the top tier, especially if you change the criteria to best pizza by the slice.

If you narrow the geographic boundaries for best pizza to just Capitol Hill, Mendelsohn's pizza place on Pennsylvania Avenue SE jumps even higher.

And in some good news for congressional staffers, We, the Pizza is offering a delivery special to the House and Senate office buildings.

HuffPost is partial to the Forest Shroomin' Pie, which comes with wild forest mushrooms, truffles, mozzarella and fresh thyme. (Chef Spike, do you mind delivering to our bureau near the White House?)

  • McDonald's Oatmeal

    Oatmeal sure <em>sounds</em> healthy, but as <a href="http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/22/how-to-make-oatmeal-wrong/">New York Times' food columnist Mark Bittman points out</a>, the McD version is anything but: <blockquote>Incredibly, the McDonald's product contains more sugar than a Snickers bar and only 10 fewer calories than a McDonald's cheeseburger or Egg McMuffin. (Even without the brown sugar it has more calories than a McDonald's hamburger.) </blockquote>

  • Starbucks Spinach & Feta Breakfast Wrap

    This seemingly healthy wrap sandwich advertises "cage free" eggs, but <a href="http://www.starbucks.com/menu/food/hot-breakfast/spinach-feta-and-cage-free-egg-white-breakfast-wrap">a quick glance at the ingredient list reveals</a> that the simple egg white is actually made from 12 ingredients: <blockquote>Cage free egg whites, whey powder, unmodified corn starch, nonfat dry milk, salt, butter flavor [sunflower oil, natural flavors, medium chain triglycerides, palm kernel oil], xantham gum, guar gum, liquid pepper extract</blockquote> See the <a href="http://www.starbucks.com/menu/food/hot-breakfast/spinach-feta-and-cage-free-egg-white-breakfast-wrap" target="_hplink">full information here</a>.

  • Chick-Fil-A Chicken, Egg & Cheese On Sunflower Multigrain Bagel

    Fried chicken is obviously not a healthy breakfast option. But with its multigrain bagel, many consumers might consider it the better breakfast sandwich option. But the term "multigrain" is actually meaningless. <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/multigrain/AN02047">Explained the Mayo Clinic's Katherine Zeratsky</a>: <blockquote>Multigrain and whole grain are not interchangeable terms. Whole grain means that all parts of the grain kernel -- the bran, germ and endosperm -- are used. In contrast, multigrain means that a food contains more than one type of grain; it doesn't tell you whether they're whole or refined grains, or a mix of both.</blockquote> In other words, the bagel could be nutritionally interchangeable with a white bagel. What's more, <a href="http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Food/Menu-Detail/Chicken-Egg-Cheese-on-Sunflower-Multigrain-Bagel" target="_hplink">the sandwich provides 20 grams of fat</a> -- nearly two-thirds of the USDA's daily recommendation for most adults -- and 1,230 milligrams of sodium, more than half the recommended daily intake.

  • Burger King Breakfast Bowl

    You might think you're doing yourself a favor by skipping the refined-wheat bun or butter-drenched biscuit. But <a href="http://www.bk.com/en/us/menu-nutrition/index.html" target="_hplink">with 42 grams of fat</a>, this scramble of eggs, veggies, sausage and cheese provides 120 percent of your daily fat, as recommended by the USDA's Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

  • Dunkin Donuts Honey Bran Raisin Muffin

    A bran muffin might sound like the healthiest option among the muffins on offer at Dunkin Donuts. But let's hope America doesn't run on these: while the honey bran raisin muffin <em>does</em> have five grams of fiber, it also contains 44 grams of sugar. That bears repeating: <a href="http://www.dunkindonuts.com/content/dunkindonuts/en/menu/muffins.html?DRP_FLAVOR=Honey+Bran+Raisin" target="_hplink">44 grams of sugar!</a> That's even more than the McDonald's Oatmeal. In fact, you might be better off ordering a doughnut, <a href="http://www.dunkindonuts.com/content/dunkindonuts/en/menu/donuts.html?DRP_FLAVOR=Glazed+Donut" target="_hplink">many of which have a fraction of the sugar content</a>.
