Whole wheat pizza that converted even me, a dyed-in-the-wool anti-whole wheater. I hate whole wheat everything, yet prefer their whole wheat pizza to any other pizza, including the regular kind. Oh, and their sauce is like crack. So good. More

This is a fun cafe with an attached store where you can purchase specialty beer and wine. The place is very casual so no need to get dressed up. I also don't think you'll need reservations. We had the individual pizzas, and there were so many options to choose from I could have gotten lost! The pizzas were all very... More

Hadn't been to the "Lost Dog Cafe" in a number of years, and it's actually BETTER than I remembered. Other than parking being a real problem, the restaurant is totally refurbished from my last visit, and much nicer. I had #22, which was a perfectly delicious croissant with a shrimp/crab/scallop salad. They could leave out the onion in the salad,... More

A HS classmate of my son ha an interest in this local youth-oriented saloon-type sandwich/pizza/beverage spot. Service is ok, perhaps cuz crowds overwhelm the staff at times. More

This is the second time I visited. I don't come during lunch or dinner rush so I can't speak to the issue of waiting for food or a table. The food has been amazing every time. They have a lot of pizza and sandwich options with a really large variety of options or build your own and fresh, fresh ingredients.... More

At this popular, sometimes very crowded spot, the emphasis is on beer (lots for sale on the menu, more than 200 varieties on the shelves) and pizza, with a broad selection of both. There are many sandwich choices, too. I live less than a mile away and when I want a fast carryout or delivery pizza, I call Lost Dog.... More

Fun little "granola" sandwich shop. Not your standard meat, cheese, bread subs... Great variation on classic sandwiches and good micro-brews available for carryout. More

We had a fun time here with the good food, quirky/relaxed atmosphere, and fun options. Food: Very good with large portions. The pizza tastes great as does the sandwiches. We’ve had everything from spinach pizza to turkey Rueben sandwiches and pasta dishes. They are all had very good taste and sizes for the price. The guacamole was also fresh and... More

Lost Dog Cafe is an Arlington gem! They have two locations : North and South Arlington. They have pizzas and sandwiches. Their menu is unlimited! They also have a sister location called : Stray Cat Cafe. The Stray Cat Cafe specializes in burgers and sandwiches rather than pizza and sandwiches. You will not be disappointed if you go to Lost...

Whenever I'm in the DC area, this is the place I go for my favorite pizza. Lost Dog has a wide variety of toppings and the service (albeit, no frills) is super quick. While there, be sure to check out the large selection of beer and those aren't just in bottles, there must be 20 or so amazing suds on... More
