Lost Dog Cafe - Dunn Loring

The sandwiches are the stars here. There are plenty of good optiona. The food is great, the beer is selection is great. My favorite is the bulldog. The sandwiches are huge. This area you never know if you will get your money's worth when eating out, but here you definitely will. The pizza is good too but I will always get a sandwich. The beer selection is great and you can buy six packs out of the cooler. The service was fast and efficient and very polite. Parking is easy if you go to the nearby garage. There are multiple Lost Dog locations but this one has been high quality on each visit

Great options + super friendly staff. Spinach, crab, and cheese dip was exactly how we wanted it to taste. Highly recommend! Pizza and sandwiches have always been consistently good. If you want to get a custom pizza, recommend finding one of the many special pizzas that is close and doing substitutions. Blonde was great! Wasn't in the mood to get it "a la mode", but still melty chocolate chunks and super tasty.

Delicious food. They have a wide range of drinks and food options and they all sound amazing. Great location too very close to the mosaic district

When I see the word “gourmet” used in marketing/advertising descriptions of pizza I expect a flavor jamboree which was not the case for the pepperoni and mushroom pizza I was served at Lost Dog Cafe. Old Dominion Pizza in Arlington is my taste benchmark standard for excellent pizza in NOVA in my taste opinion. LDC pizza dough was totally bland and uninteresting compared to ODP’s flavorful corn meal dough. LDC toppings also lacked strong flavor profile by comparison. Using the word “gourmet” indicates to me farm fresh, locally sourced ingredients. I would be stunned if LDC verified that. LDC beer selection is commendable. I appreciate that LDC has bottle Pilsner Urquell which is reason enough to come back. Would be a nice touch if they had Pilsner glasses. Carrot Cake icing was a bit cloying but saved by distinctly flavorful fresh black walnuts and fresh raisins in the cake. My guess as to $7.95 (let’s call it 8 bucks) a slice price. Coffee was pretty good with it. The staff was friendly, welcoming, helpful and attentive. Could not ask for better in that department. I like the light color wood square bar design having 5 bar stools with backs on 3 sides of the square. The cafe is exceptionally clean. Their pizza box should win a design award for its solid construction and the Lost Dog logo that covers the box top and includes QR code. I hope they find their dog. Pizza = 1 star Carrot Cake = 3 1/2 stars The rest of the package = 5 stars Pizza really drags down the overall to 3 stars. I am compelled to give heavy weight to the pizza component because of the loud marketing/advertising that it is “gourmet” which, in my opinion, it is not.
