Can anyone recommend a restaurant in the Washington DC area that
serves European-style thin crust Neopolitan pizza? Not the kind that
is loaded with cheese, but rather light cheese, thin crust, fresh
basil, etc...

Pizza Paradiso near Dupont Circle (and now elsewhere -- Georgetown?)
is about as close as you will find (except at our house 8 ).

As an alternative, you can easily buy dough at places like the Italian
Market off Spout Run and make your own.

Among the chains, Bertucci's is probably closest, since Faccia Luna's
crust has gotten heavier over the years.
