THEY DELIVERED A BURNT PIZZA. Can't even fold it in half it's so burnt. Just because we order a gluten free pizza doesn't mean we don't deserve a normal cooked pizza. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday for dinner. Order two number 4, classic steak and cheese. Was your not expecting to get slice roast beef .... Certainly was not a steak and cheese. Tried to order onion rings and we were told they ran out, this is 5 PM on Sunday. Ordered Italian fry instead, and it was only warm, not hot. We will not be back to this location. read more

4.4 Stars with the ability to be fully 5 stars upon my next visit! (I can't give a place 5 stars on just one visit!) Pros: * Root beer on draft * Futuristic paintings with the Tysons metro already complete (I know, this review will look stupid after the metro is complete, but I live in the moment) * Nice lunchtime feel * Good food * Real cheese in sandwiches, not the artificial slices * Great service (I think our server was one of the owners?) * Free magnets (who doesn't love swag?) * Quick service * Inexpensive Cons: * Couldn't think of one I got the president, but maybe that was too healthy of a choice. The bacon, avocado, and cheese were great. However, I need to try their pizza and potentially something with a little more grease in it next time. There will definitely be a next time! read more

Great neighborhood pizza and casual bar joint! Live nearby in new community, love walking the dogs to here and sitting outside with beer and pizza. Pizza is decent, service good. Highly recommend! read more

Got a tuna sandwich and side of homemade house pasta salad to go. The sandwich was enjoyable but the pasta was some penna noodles with parmascean cheese sprinkled on it maybe one tomato and a sliver of onion. I called in spoke to the manager and she said that was the owners recipe and they stand by it. She said she would give them the feedback and apologized. I wish she would of offered me something to compensate you think she would have authority to rectify the situation. Very disappointing read more

Lost Dog Cafe - Hair in the Ravioli pasta - Pizza Near Me - McLean, Virginia

The service and vibe are great. Definitely try their collaboration IPA with Solace if they have it. However the food was not good. I had the Philly chicken cheesesteak and my daughter the grilled cheese. The cheese on the grilled cheese was dry and not melted through. The chicken on the cheesesteak seemed precooked and sliced as if they use it on multiple sandwiches. The cheese was simply wilted on top. This was not the gooey cheesesteak that you normally expect. We love the idea of lost dog and even adopted our dog from here. I want to like the food too but they need to step up there game. read more

Love this little place. It's around the corner from work which makes it super convenient to grab lunch or a quick drink after work. The sandwiches are outta this world!! No matter what your taste buds or craving there is certain to be something that speaks to you. Personally, I recommend the Pitt Bull!! The pizza's are respectable - and you can create your own masterpiece without investing a fortune. The beer selection is outstanding - diverse and tasty!!! Many amazing choices on draft and in bottle. Personally, the only drawn back for me is that the wine options are rather limited. Best of all, you know your money is going to a great cause as they are also an animal rescue organization in action since 2001. Gotta love it when you can spend your money with an organization that gives back to the world! read more

Lost Dog Cafe - Pizza Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Some years ago, my family had dinner at the original Lost Dog and it was very good. We were in McLean last night and decided to get some pizza from Lost Dog. To sum it up, the pizza was average and the service was terrible. Also, and I realize that we are talking only about pizza, but they really skimp on the extras. My kid's pepperoni pizza had like, three pieces of pepperoni. The extra toppings my wife and I ordered were nonexistent. We had placed our order on line and were given a time to pick it up. When we arrived at the appointed time, the pizza was not ready and we had to wait in the parking lot for about 1/2 hour. We never received texts advising that the food was delayed. When we did finally get the pizza, the staff gave a bunch of lame excuses. No apologies, yada yada. $44 for one small and one large pizza is a rip off. If you have time and money to waste, this is great place to go. There are lot's of other places where the food simply is better and is a better value. read more

I came here for the first time yesterday to weather the storm that was the giant oil tanker 495 traffic apocalypse of 2019. Needless to say a lot of other people had the same idea and the place was packed. I arrived at 5:55 pm and the bartender promptly rang in a beer and pizza for me so I could get happy hour prices by 6. They have a lot of beers on tap local and regional. The personal pizza was good size and the crust was good. I ordered a bacon pineapple pizza. The bacon was smoky in a good way. I finished the whole thing and was full but not stuffed to the point of no return. Service was friendly and attentive even during the unexpected rush. I love the concept and that they give back to the dogs who need help. I will definitely be back. Cool neighborhood spot. read more

First time ordering take out from the Lost Dog Cafe! We'll definitely be ordering again! Such great menu options- the hummus appetizer was delicious and the croissant sandwich was huge! Also the delivery was super fast! Great job- we'll be returning customers for sure! Thanks read more

Individual pizza is too good, fresh (so fresh) ingredient, handsome portion, crafty combination ... my own favorite is the seafood pizza with completely fresh scallop pearls, shrimp and crab meat, perfect seasoning to let you enjoy the seafood in cheese! In store services are really good from real people that care about the business! And the art work on wall is completely refreshing! Online ordering system is a little weird, but just walk in and take a break from the busy work life. read more

Absolutely LOVE their gluten free sandwiches! They have a lot of great options, but I have only ever gotten the Italian because it's just that good. I normally order online and pick up in store which is a super easy process and you can customize your sandwich however you would like. *GF Warning* the pickles are not gluten free. read more

Order 68, ordered BLT on white toasted. Got marble rye not toasted. Guy working on the register left me standing there as he said he was busy doing something.

I'm a long-term customer but I give this location very mixed reviews. The service is so slow that I have to go into the kitchen to see if anyone's home. It's like the staff has better things to do than wait on customers. Good is good but the staff is dicey. read more

I had a pesto pasta the other day and let me just say WOAH! First of all, the portions are huge. I was able to have half of it for my lunch next day. Second of all, it was done perfectly. It was delicious and delicious looking lol my coworkers all enjoyed their food as well. it comes with lots of bread so be prepared to stuff yourself!! read more

An Irish gyro and my FTR taste SO delicious!! Glad this location finally opened. In the future (after work or on the weekends) I'll be able to enjoy their tasty food and a cold cerveza after shopping at Safeway. Did I mention I got the FTR?!?? :-) ----------------------------- So I just HAD to update my review with a bit more information. Seriously couldn't believe I was the first Yelper to review this place and that a business listing was already created! What dumb stupid luck!! This location is Antonio approved as it is on the far end of the remodeled McLean Safeway and close enuff for frequent visits by yours truly. Being the newest Lost Dog location, the inside is brand spanking new and still has the fresh scent of new lacquer and paint. Unlike the Washington Blvd location, the McLean 'Dog is slightly smaller but has reserved plenty of space for two large beer coolers. Walking into this Lost Dog (which will now become MY watering hole of choice), I was promptly greeted by the staff with a very cheerful "Welcome to the Lost Dog!". Words can't describe how HAPPY I was to hear this welcome and to learn that this location has finally opened! I've been a Lost Dog fan for Y-E-A-R-S and truly love this local business! I promptly scanned the menu, settled on the Irish Gyro and proceeded to snap up some pictures for this business listing. As soon as I received my food, I quickly stuffed my face and then hurried back to work with a happy skip and a jump as I held on tightly to my groceries. I can't wait to come back for some more food and to enjoy my first McLean Lost Dog draft beer when I wasn't on the clock. I'm definitely going to stop by for a brew one of these days (or this weekend) when I'm NOT working. Umm...that beer's gonna taste good as I stuff my face with waffle fries and a tasty sammich. woof! i wuv you Antonio! Have a beer on me! woof! woof! / _ . - . / ' ( ^ { _ } ( ` ~ \ ` - - - - -' \ ) _ ) - - - ) _ ) Wa-hoooo!! Lost Dog, I found you...in McLean!! read more

Not their best location, and not just because the four tables outside are only good for people-watching a grocery store parking lot. Service was fine but the food was just okay: waffle fries were better than the onion rings, K-9 featured a very depressing croissant, and the Kujo pizza had a floppy crust. I'll stick to the Fairfax location! read more

Ordered carryout for the first time here and it was pretty good. Split a few items with others: Greek salad, Bracco pizza, and Bureaucrat sandwich. The salad was good, although could have used a little more dressing. Will ask for extra next time and watch out for olive pits. The sandwich was really good, although may be best to dine in since it was a little cold. Very tasty but somewhat messy with the honey mustard sauce dripping everywhere. The pizza was the star of the show, it had a really nice kick from the hot peppers and all the ingredients went well together. Would definitely order this again and try some other items when I return. read more

Service is terrible and the food was okay. Large beer selection and they support dogs and cats. That's about it..... read more

Real let down. Ordered online and the sandwich wasn't made. I ordered around 1:30 for a 2pm pick up. I arrived late, 2:40ish. Waited 15-20 minutes for them to make it while there. I ordered a cold sandwich because I knew I might be late and I didn't want it to congeal. And of course, when I got to my destination and opened the stapled bag, the sandwich was not as I ordered. I ordered it cold because I knew I had a ways to go before I ate it and, as mentioned before, I might fall behind the pick up window. But they made it hot, so upon opening it, I have a barely warm, chewy, unpleasant mess. And they didn't even cut the sandwich in half. Pleasant staff but zero attention to detail. Beer selection is just okay but overpriced. FYI Manager sent me a message offering me a refund, a gift card, and an apology. The apology is all I received. So they still have organization and follow through problems. That would be fine if the food were out of this world, but it's really just and average deli with a Cheesecake Factory amount of items on the menu and an overpriced but broad beer selection. read more

The food is decent and the price is right at Lost Dog. They do have a solid beer selection and allow you to create your own six pack. My girlfriend and I like completely different types of beer so this has saved us both. The menu is rather large and I find myself getting lost sometimes and forgetting what I wanted in the first place. Not a bad spot if you live in the area. They offer delivery so if you're hungry and want some beer they're just a phone call away... read more

Lost Dog Cafe - The decor here is pretty awesome! The paintings bleed onto the wall and the artwork continues. Cool spot! - Pizza Near Me - McLean, Virginia

I recommend you look over their menu before your visit, or you will be overwhelmed. They have maybe 40 different sandwiches.... I come here from time to time for their beer selection. The food and service is always consistent. I like that they have many bottled beers, but also change their taps VERY regularly. For example if you enjoy a beer one day, a week later they may have a newer beer on tap. One of the few places in NOVA that has my Favorite beer, unibroue la fin du monde. I usually get the Phoenix it is my favorite sandwich. My only complaint is that they over do the lettuce on their sandwiches, they gotta pull it back. I don't know if it is to make the sandwich seem bigger but they have to stop with the lettuce. Another small complaint i have is the price. A sandwich is priced at $8.50. I think for what you get it should be closer to about $7. Although it fills you up, i do not see why it is that pricey. Usually a couple beers and a sandwich runs about $25 with tip. That is pricey for a place like this. Only reason i look past it and justify my spending is the variety of both beer and sandwiches in one place. I have also had their pizza and their fried and dog collars (onion rings). All are pretty good, my favorite is their Italian waffle fries. Not many places have good waffle fries. I also like that the owner makes sure the bartenders have beer knowledge. One in particular AJ, and i talked about different beers and he gave me quite a few recommendations on what to try based on what i liked. I have to give the service here (atleast in my experiences) a 5/5. MY FAVORITE part of this place is that they sell craft beer to go. This place has a Ridiculous selection of beer and if you are a beer drinker i HIGHLY advise you to check it out. read more

I don't go to Lost Dog Cafe very much. I'm not sure why. It's within walking distance of my apartment. And I always enjoy going. Last time I was there was St. Patrick's Day. They had a live singer, who was pretty fun to listen to. I had a sandwich (the coyote) that was yummy and my mother enjoyed hers as well. She was disappointed by the potato salad. Their house root beer is very good. I want one of their pizzas. They really look good there. But every time I am there, I get distracted from the large pizza menu by the equally large sandwich menu. The decor is pretty nifty. The history of the area as illustrated by families of anthropomorphic dogs. The restaurant is always clean. In fact, my only real criticism or suggestion for improvement would be that there isn't a lot of seating, so only so many people can sit inside. For my part, I noticed that they have trivia on Tuesdays. I love trivia. I'm recovering from a surgery and I need to get out of the house. That sounds to me like an excuse to stop by more often. I plan on doing that. read more

If you know anyone who's been to the Lost Dog and DIDN'T enjoy their experience, then you are hanging out with the wrong crowd. The restaurant has been open a few months now at the Mclean location, and everytime I have enjoyed lunch here with my coworkers, it has been incredible. Pick a sandwich...any sandwich. I have yet to be disappointed by any choice I have made. And if you didn't like a particular part of any sandwich, then craft your own from scratch! Ditto on the pizzas. They're equally satisfying. My favorite dish at the Cafe, aside from the sandwiches and pizza is the black bean dip appetizer. With chips or Pita bread or both, this is maybe the best black bean dip I've ever had. Oh and did I mention beer? Yeah, there's about 3457635793 different bottles of beer that you can order from all over the world. The only minor drawback about the restaurant is that it's so delicious, and so inviting, and so wonderful an experience...that during prime dining hours, there's generally a wait. So if you're looking for a quick lunch, better do it off-peak hours otherwise you're screwed. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch with a group of friends with a few kids in tow. Ordered two large pizzas, fries, and chips with dip. The only disappointment was with the chips and dip. I guess we were expecting more of a big dish full of tortilla chips and toppings considering the price. Instead we got a big bowl of dip (good) with literally what seemed like one handful of chips (bad). It just seemed rather disproportionate. I'd highly recommend adding more chips. The pizza and fries were good. Can't say I'm a fan just yet but wouldn't mind coming back here again with the guys to try the beer. read more

The menu is huge! Lot's of sandwich's and pizza's. There were so many choices I couldn't choose. The group decided to get the Lost Dog Dip for an appetizer. The dip consists of 7-layers starting with homemade chili, cheddar cheese, guacamole, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, green onions and black olives served with tortilla chips. We were pretty hungry so we were expecting a huge tray of the delicious 7-layer dip for almost $8. To our disappointment, it was small that we finished it within seconds. The dip was not warm but room temperature.. not sure if it was suppose to be warm or not. The gang decided to share a large pizza of pepperoni and pineapple. The pizza alone deserves five stars! It was hot and delicious. The cheese was gooey and melted just right. The toppings were a decent amount that ever every bite was pineapple and pepperoni. Yummy! For dessert, I ordered a warm Blondie and the rest of the group got milkshakes. The Blondie is big enough to share for two but since I love desserts I ate the whole thing myself. It was filled with walnuts and melted chocolate chips. The milkshakes seemed pretty decent and nobody had complaints. The place isn't bad at all. The atmosphere is laid back, relaxing, and family friendly. The service was decent. I would return only for the pizza but not for the appetizers. read more

Had a Santa fe type salad which was big. The chicken on it was dry and not good. The salad was very plain tasting even with the dressing which didn't add much. My kids got a pepperoni pizza which was the same poor quality as something you would find in a school cafeteria. The waffle fries were soggy, flimsy and disgusting. I would not come here again. read more

Great place to be able to socialize. Only tried a couple of dishes from the menu but they were tasty. Parking was easy.

Delicious fresh food, tons of great choices, and the reason I'm writing this review is because of the outstanding customer service. There was some confusion with a delivery order I placed (to no fault of the restaurant--completely Seamless's fault) and the manager, Paul, called me personally twice to clear up the confusion. He sent me an additional order at no additional charge and was so friendly throughout. Now THIS is great customer service. Thanks so much Paul and the rest of the Lost Dog Team. You've got a loyal customer in me. read more

I often go here when I need a dinner after work when I've been working late or need a quick meal between work and some evening activity. They have excellent salads and fantastic selection of sandwiches. They also have pizza but I haven't had any so far. They have a bar with a reasonable selection of craft beers. They also have a selection of wines and bottled beers for purchase. Items can be consumed on premise or for take out. read more

Update: I had to come back and change my review because the owner was awesome. He followed up with me and sent me not only a gift card but also his personal contact information in case I have trouble getting food again. We ordered pizza, fries and spinach and artichoke dip and all were great. We will definitely be back! I can't write an honest review of the restaurant since I can't order food from here for some reason. Tonight was the second night I've tried to come in and order only to be told the kitchen is closed. Last night when I came in at 10:50 I was told the kitchen closed every night at 10:45, which I understand being close to 11. But tonight I called at 10:30 to hear yet again that the kitchen was closed. Just moved to the area and looking for places to frequent, but I guess this won't be one of them. Disappointing. read more

The pizza and subs are good here, but the survive is sub par. Everyone is friendly, but i once ordered a salad for takeout online. I waited the recommended 15 minutes to go pick it up but after i arrived i waited 40 more minutes until my salad was ready. They weren't busy, but for some reason despite asked politely a few times, it took too long. Also, they could have a better draft beer selection. read more

So this is my first time here and it was a pretty good experience. We ordered two milkshakes and two sandwiches. A little pricey but still good. We both thought our sandwiches were a little light on the meat but we'd come back. And the seasoned fries were pretty good too, but some were soggy and others were crispy. We want to try the pizza next time. I do like the fact they support a good cause so you gotta love that! read more

Bumping my review back down to three stars. The food has always been consistently good here. We opted for the fiesta dog salad to start with, and it was surprisingly good, especially the dressing. The Catahoula pizza was very good as usual. But the service still needs to improve, again... After being seated quickly, we waited for a good ten minutes before a server finally took our drink orders. My wife ordered a soda which came right away, but my beer never came. Finally a second server came over and told me their cooler was broken, and I would need to choose a beer on tap if I wanted one. So after looking at the menu I picked one out, but again no sever was in sight for another ten minutes. The servers were friendly enough, but it was obvious they were understaffed and just couldn't handle the dinner crowd. It's really unfortunate that the service hardly ever matches the food. read more
