I dined here with some friends who live in Alexandria. I took the bus to Old Town, then rode a free trolley bus that dropped me off right by the pizza parlor. However, if you drive here, you can find free street parking in the evenings, on the side streets. We started out with an order of Frickles, then I had a hand-tossed 10 inch garden pizza, subbing out the mushrooms. My friends shared a larger pizza, and we all went home with leftovers. They also serve NA "Athletic" Brews if you're not feeling beer. It was a Saturday night with a good crowd, but it didn't take long for our food to arrive, and the service was great. I didn't realize Barack Obama dined here until reading the Yelp reviews, but that's pretty cool. I love that he has a pizza named after him, and I love how all the pizzas on the menu have fun names with personality. If you're in the Del Ray area of Alexandria and want pizza, salad, or a calzone, this is a great option. read more

Cute friendly place. Wandered in for pizza on trivia night. The place was packed with trivia aficionados. Friendly service, fun vibe. Pizza however, mediocre at best. Salad never arrived so can't weigh in! I think maybe best for a few beers. And maybe some fried appetizers. read more

My favorite go-to pizza joint! The one-percent IMO is the best on the menu! All their pizzas have so much flavor in both the dough, seasoning, and toppings. The truffle tots and fries are also to die for read more

Out of town visitors The good- fast service! Had a trivia night & we happened in. It was loud. Server was nice & helpful. Food was good. Nothing amazing. But decent & fast service. Ordered 2 types pizza, bourbon dr pepper wings, caesar salad. Fugazza pizza & cleave land. Fugazza was ok- more mushrooms would have been nice. Both pizzas were lightly cooked & probably would have been better with a few extra minutes in oven. read more

Fun place to grab a pizza and beer. The pizza is good I had the Margarita but certainly not a top contender. The service was decent. It is located in what may have once been a house so that was pretty cool. There also is outside dining. I would not call it a stand out but it fit the bill. read more

Del Ray Pizzeria - Pear pizza - Pizza Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Del Ray Pizzeria is one of my favorite nostalgia spots. This little locally-owned restaurant has stood the test of time and continues to be a great place to gather over great food, beer, and conversation. The Barack My World pan pizza is a must order. It's thick, buttery crust is to die for and I stan anything that celebrates the Obama era presidency. Paired with their extra cajun wings and local beers you've got a winning Sunday afternoon. Now that I have kids, I'm more conscious of their kid menu which includes all of the classics from pita pizzas to chicken tenders and mac and cheese. Sides are tater tots or fries which truly made my littles' day. Restaurant is affordable, service is friendly + it's proximity to the Dairy Godmother makes this a place I'd go to again and again. read more

The menu has been updated with more options. Don't worry folks' Pizzas are still there:) STEAKS are on the menu! Not only can you order a steak with sauces of your choice; the mashed potatoes are like a buffet full of options to make your own perfect meal. Broccoli was perfect and drinks were flowing. Karaoke started to our surprise! What turned out to be a simple dinner, was the best night we had in a while! Incredible food, several locals made it a casual and super cozy environment. Entire staff was great and even came out and sang with us. Definitely a must go! My friends and I are going back on Friday and inviting others to join us, I CANNOT wait!! Come on out and join us!! Country Eric will be singing:) on Friday! read more

Great tasting food in a happy inviting atmosphere! Friendly people, and friendly staff make this a great neighborhood staple! Lots of beers to choose from, if you're into new and exciting beers they have a good rotation! read more

A decent neighborhood pizza spot but it's not clean. Tables and floors are sticky. My water glass had something similar to raw pizza dough bits floating around in it. read more

We came here on a Saturday night and were able to grab parking on the street. It was busy but we were able to get a table quickly and the service was fast. We got a specialty Bulldog. The crust was a thicker one but the dough tasted great. The cheese was very stringy and the sauce was alright. Not a bad pizza. If you want to grab a sit down pizza in the area I would go here. read more

Great little pizza joint with a bar and tvs, too! It took awhile to get service after being seated, but once we did our server was awesome. Very apologetic, friendly and helpful. The pizza was delicious. My son and I shared the Spicy Chicken (Large), and it was very flavorful. The truffle tots and the old bay tots were tasty, as well. My sister, niece, and I also enjoyed the firecracker Brussels sprouts - yummy! My niece had the fresh cut fries, and we both agreed that, although they were tasty, they should have come out hotter. The Caesar chicken wrap was a hit for my son's girlfriend, as well. The atmosphere is very casual with sports offered on the tvs. Check them out! read more

Their food is pretty good. Their service is mediocre at best. We ate outside on a warmer February evening, and asked that the outdoor heaters be turned on. We were NOT the only ones to ask...but we were the only ones to have to ask at least 3 times. "The Manager" told the server (a young 18 year old) that it was too warm for the heaters, and left it to the young 18 year old to break the news to us...and the other tables. Our food was able to cool just enough to cause us to leave half way through our dinner...NOT THAT IT WAS TOO COOL OUTSIDE! We might get takeout from here in the future, but there are plenty of other pizza places in Del Ray, so who knows. We'll see. read more

This is the only place I've ever seen a gluten free pie be the SAME PRICE as regular pizza dough. Amazing. I've eaten here once before and remember really enjoying my pie, though for the life of me I can't remember what I got, as well as the very creative names for all the dishes. Reading the menu in and off itself is an experience. What we got: sweet thang on gluten free crust - 5* I'm not a gluten free pizza connoisseur so I can't speak to its comparative rating. It was edible, it was not super dry, it did not make me want to gag, and I would recommend it to my friends who cannot eat gluten. I would leave it up to them though to give the final verdict on how the crust holds up. As for the pie itself, I would order it again in a heartbeat. It was delicious! The blackberries were a fantastic and complemented the pizza very well. If I had to be critical my one comment would be that maybe there was a bit too much ricotta cheese, but ricotta has never been my favourite so I think that's my bias talking. Keep the ricotta in, it's a great source of protein! I really loved the hot honey. smokin' hot chick on cauliflower crust - not sure how I feel about the cauliflower crust. I know I have had better, but it also was not off-putting. I could see myself getting it again. As for the pie itself, oh boy does it pack a punch. They use fresh jalapenos that are not cooked, so those seeds deliver a kicker. Overall a great pie, as it was my partner's I'm only judging it off of the one slice, so this review isn't as thorough as the one above. read more

TLDR: terrible service, good French fries. Came on a Saturday evening (5ish) sat inside. Service was horrible. They obviously forgot our order as others had arrived after us, eaten and left before our food came out. When we finally flagged down our sever to ask about the delay for the 2nd time he said he would "check on it". I didn't care for his attitude. It's not rocket science- it's just pizza, if you can't do that well- that's on you. After waiting, our food came out all at once, underdone and boiling hot ( obviously forgotten). We were ignored when we asked for the bill and eventually paid and left. Overall impression is terrible service and worse food. If you can't run a kitchen, or if your kitchen forgets or if you make a mistake -then say that. Coping an attitude is akin to throwing a fit, which is what you get when you leave kids in charge. read more

This place used to be amazing. Now it is tired, dirty and run down looking. If it wasn't for the other good stuff in Del Ray keeping it afloat along side take out I am not sure it would survive. Don't get me wrong it still has great food. The waitstaff is 50/50 on if they know the menu or food options in the building. Most recent visit heard the waitstaff talking about how the original owner had bailed on the place and left it to die essentially. This place needs love, attention and investment and it could be amazing again. I will continue to go here. read more

Food is great, pizza rolls are top-notch, and they might have the best ranch in the DMV. Highly recommend the tropic thunder pizza. However, don't bother dining in and stick to pick-up if you are seated at the high-tops and not a "local". The bartender/servers pretty much ignore you and you have to wave them down every time, and they act like you're a nuisance to them if you do, showing absolutely no personality (not to mention they don't add the happy hour discount). Disappointed in the service because it would be a 5/5 if not! read more

Fantastic neighborhood pizza restaurant and bar, been my favorite pizza for years (smoking hot chick pizza) and has one of my favorite beers (falcon smash). Staff are amazing, neighborhood is beautiful, and Flipside Speakeasy upstairs is a great getaway. read more

I stopped at this restaurant after checking out the Del Ray flea market for the very first time. Since it was close by and I love pizza, I stopped in. When I walked in, there was no one at the door so I just stood there for awhile. I wasn't sure if I needed to seat myself or wait. I saw one employee by the door arranging tables. After standing there for awhile, I just went to sit at the bar. The bar was pretty full. About five to ten minutes later, the bartender came to greet me and ask for my drink order. I ended up ordering a pizza and some appetizers. The plus about the menu is that the pizza options are unique if you are a person who likes to try different unique pizza ingredient combos. The pizza was just okay to me ($15 for a small), but another option could have been better. The wings were good. The restaurant and bathroom were clean. Overall, the place lacked "warmth" so I would not try it again. But it seems to be a cool place for regular customers. read more

I just tried this place and can safely say I'm their newest fan. Not sure what's so special about this BYO cheese pizza, but it's gotta be a meld of cheeses or something because it has an extra satisfying flavor and it's always cooked perfectly!!! Also, I'm not always a crust eater but I will eat it at DRP. Just tried the PAN pizza tonight which looks equally as appetizing. I haven't been to the actual restaurant yet but it's always busy and has a cute little outdoor seating area. I will be back!! read more

Good food at a good price. Beer selection is pretty good. Favorite place to get a beer in Del Ray.

I've always enjoyed the food here at Del Ray Pizzeria. Drinks and beer selection are pretty good too. I ordered the tropic thunder pizza and wanted to try their 12 in pan crust. Texture of the dough was great. You'll like the pan crust if you like bread! Very thick crust but I loved it. I would order it again. Dr. pepper bourbon sauce was not bad. Wings weren't as juicy as I'd like but still good. read more

Great pizza -- they have a convenient takeout order window, and outdoor seating (that closes down at 9 along with the rest of Del Ray.) We got a large pizza that was half Butcher's Block (essentially a meat lover's), and half Jenny's Veg (we couldn't NOT order this, since we were with my sister visiting from out of town, and she is a vegetarian AND her name is Jenny hahahaha.) Toppings were flavorful, sauce was bright, and their crust is doughy and chewy but not in like an underdone way. It was very addictive, and I heartily enjoyed our pie. 5 stars for sure! Next time we'll be sure to go earlier so we can enjoy the tented seating too! read more

Not a "local" sports bar atmosphere as advertised. Was hoping to try pizza but unable to get seat.

Ok Del Ray Pizzeria. Crossed the bridge this time for a pizza, especially since it's not to far from me. Waited for traffic to give a little. Arrived on a chilly work evening and folks were sitting outside smoking, chatting, and evening. Now I do like to see an abundance of culture but didn't see it upon entering the pad. However, greeted by the lean gentleman. Given a menu because I requested carry out. Almost visited the bar but didn't spot any cognacs. The bar was packed as well. Ordered a Barack, Veggie, both large, 10" pepperoni, 2 orders of fries..... one truffle w/ parm and old bay. Fries are like Five guys. Seasoning was stingy. But I came for pizza so who cares. Pizza was on point. Also I got the hand tossed crust, sort of reminded of the hand toss taste from Pizza Hut, not to offend. However you could see the artistic roll in the dough crust. Also the sauce is good and sweet. Now when I got home I did put the fries back in the air fryer and added some more old bay which landed on my pizza making it better. Fries I can skip..... and I love fries but will stop back by for the pie, if I feel like driving to Alex. read more

I had a horrible time at DRP last week. Horrible. First of all it's dirty as hell. We sat by the window with hand smears and dead fly or two on the window. We were among only three tables dining at 3pm on a Saturday but the servers were absent or running around as if it was a packed house. By time our pizza came it was cold. Not warm at all. It was actually floppy and cold and undercooked. Pale flavorless dough with zero burnt bubbles. The mozarella was firm. I ate half of 1 slice and thought maybe if I take it home I can heat it nicely. NOPE! Still nasty with zero flavor. The crust taste like cardboard. I can 100% say there are about 3 or 4 frozen pizzas that are way better than DRP. The one star is for the onion petals which were tasty with the spicy sauce. read more
