The Butcher 's Block pizza is where it's at! Loaded with pepperoni , Italian sausage , capicola , salami,picante provolone , pickled garlic , scallions , & San Marzano.

Golden, crispy Cheese & Herb Risotta 'Tots ' with Lemon Thyme Aioli dipping sauce are a great way to start your meal.

Can't go wrong with the monster burger they have on the menu!

Dusk Dargent

Amazing beer list . Sitting by the "chef's table " (it's really a bar seating overlooking the kitchen) is a bonus.

Tobi Davis

By far Niku is the best bartender I've had in the last 10 years. #nolie Go to the bar and ask for Niku.

The ranch fries are soooo good! I had the crispy salmon sandwich which was delicious and came with homemade chips . Then we had the doughnuts fir dessert . They were like beignets . Yum!!!!!

Northern Virginia Magazine

"'It's kind of like a Mercedes Benz,' says the bartender ... 'It sells itself.' The 'it' being a pile of fries , sausage gravy , cheese curds and a fried egg . It screams hangover cure ."

Attiya Mahmood

I can now say I've tried every pizza on the menu and love them all. Beer selection is hands down the best without going into the city , Alex le Rouge! (Next best selection is easily also in the Neigh

Lawrence Stanley

One of my Alex favorites. Not a huge beer person but plenty on top. Spinach salad and pizza are the best.

Aimee Aimee

The beer selection here is hard to beat. Their tater tots and mac and cheese starters are better than anywhere i have tried before.

New menu item - North Carolina BBQ pizza may be the best pizza I have ever had ever in my life!

Brian Smith

The salmon was outstanding, but I have to say, the beer was better.

Tim F

Great beer selection and tasty pizza ...but the menu sometimes underwhelms (too few options, too many of those few options offering niche flavors)

Matthew Kurňava

Brunch Burger was amazing - plethora of awesome goodness in every bite

Great pizza . The Mac and cheese for kids is a nice gem.

Regina Mayhew

Pork belly sliders are the best!!

Brooke Braun

Gluten-free beer on the huge beer menu (Yay Greens!). The gluten-free pizzas are a rare and delicious treat but the crust could be better - it's a little dry - ask for extra sauce.

Danny Lyon

The pizza is good here. Love the wide selection of beers .

Jest Mì

I shouldn't have to ask, beg, plead, sign or smoke signal that I'm ready to order and I want SERVICE! ????

Love this joint! Pizzas , grilled cheese , Mac n cheese ... Nom. Locally sourced ingredients & seasonal menu .

The carrot hummus (topped with ground lamb ) on the appetizer menu is fantastic.

Great white pizza , but a little pricey on the beer side.

Larissa is a very knowledgeable , attentive and polite server. But portions are a hard sell for the price. Be ready to spend $$$

Everything was really good specially the muscles

Get the powder doughnuts .... The r the bomb!

Rick

The bar is a great place for some of the best pizza in town .

I went there for lunch and I wasn't overly impressed. The food isn't bad, but it could be more flavorful with a little more attention to detail. Also, it seems a little warn and dingy.

So many great options, you really can't lose
