A New Jersey-founded restaurant featured on Shark Tank is bringing its bold pizza, cheesesteak and homemade mozzarella stick options to Rosslyn.

Tony Boloney’s is planning a grand opening of its first permanent location in the D.C. area on Jan. 27 at Upside on Moore (1700 N. Moore Street). Started as a small restaurant in Atlantic City in 2009, the restaurant is known for pushing the boundaries of comfort food.

Crystal City-based “super coffee” company Sunniva was featured on ABC’s Shark Tank last night, but its three Arlington co-founders walked away without a deal.

Two of the show’s venture capitalist “sharks” were interested in a deal, but both real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran and millionaire marketing expert Rohan Oza said that they didn’t like the beverage’s aftertaste. The proposed deal was $500,000 for a 4.5% stake in the company – which meant that the three-person team was valuing their two-year-old coffee company at approximately $11 million.
