Aslin Beer Co presents Izzi - Coffee Bakery Pizza

My fiancé and I are big fans of Aslin’s sours, so we made the trip to the tasting room for our anniversary date, and they did not disappoint! We grabbed lunch and beers at Izzi, and everything was absolutely delicious. The Brussels sprouts were my personal favorite, while my fiancé loved the Nashville chicken sandwich. We sampled a few new-to-us sours and loved every sip. We didn’t realize the actual Aslin tasting room opened at 3 PM, so we ended up spending most of the afternoon hanging out at the bar with Betsy. She gave us multiple samples of beers she liked, she thought we’d like and that she thought would pair well with our food. She was so sweet, knowledgeable, and fun—truly a highlight of the day. Even though we’re not local, we already can’t wait to come back!

I would highly recommend izzi as a breakfast / brunch spot! They don't advertise their breakfast well, but their food is amazing. The Dutch baby pancake was delicious and perfectly cooked, and the rest of their brunch menu looks Greta too! I've been coming here for months now and it's now my go-to "Cafe" replacement for weekend mornings due to their good food and coffee.

Great food and service offering a complete selection of aslin beers. Serving half and full pours and carryout of aslin beer. Highly recommend the Greek salad.

This is the food side of the Aslin brewery. It is a speedster building connected by a shared courtyard. Beer is available on bo to sides. We came for lunch but they are know for their coffee and breakfast. We found the staff incredible engaging and knowledgeable. They were great in offering samples prior to deciding on the beer. The selection is huge and they have some very unique options. Most are available to go. We ordered the Pepperoni and Hot Honey 16 inch. It is awesome. The menu is extensive. You can eat at the bar or at a table. There are pinball machines to the side of the dining area. The parking is free. The outdoor area is so cool and relaxing. Dog and kid friendly. We highly recommend.

The pepperoni and hot honey pie was amazing! We added calabrian chilis to one half and it was deliciously spicy. We have also tried the happy hour chicken sliders which were even better with the hot honey ranch. All of the servers have been nothing but nice. We are looking forward to coming back with some of our friends!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Izzy's Pizza 🍕 in Downtown Herndon, VA, is a gem! The cheese 🧀 and pepperoni pizza is absolutely fantastic—perfectly seasoned with a great balance of flavors. The Sicilian pizza I had, topped with mushrooms and banana peppers, was equally impressive. However, what really stands out is the dough and crust. It's incredibly delicious—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside but toasty, making each bite a delight. Highly recommend Izzy's for anyone craving top-notch pizza! Their Aslin beers are also good especially the Lagers👍It's a bit loud at times and parking is free but depending on the times you go it can get crowded, but it's a great place for all ages including families. The retro games add a nice touch to the atmosphere making it a fun experience 😊

Ate here twice, but two different items—chicken sandwich and pizza. Both were way too salty. Maybe it goes better with beer, but if you’re not a big beer drinker (they also have cocktails there) then you’ll really notice how salty it is. It was way worse for the sandwich, but it was the same issue both times. Also, on their toast tab, they show a picture of their cheese pizza with basil. But when my pizza came, it was just a regular cheese—no basil. I went over to ask for the basil and they said “we don’t do that anymore.” When I said “oh, you should change the picture, because had I known, I would have ordered something else.” The man there gave a patronizing response saying “sure… I could do that,” with a condescending look on his face. They didn’t sympathize or anything. He made me feel embarrassed and kind of hurt my feelings. I thought I’d been pretty nice about it. I didn’t ask for any refund or a new order. I did go back to check and the description did not have basil on it. But to me, if they can update the description, why not the picture? Overall atmosphere is nice, and they host fun events like trivia. I just can’t give higher stars because the food is not great and when there was a minor issue, the service was not nice. Money is tough for a lot of people right now. When you go out, you want to eat decent food and not feel embarrassed!

We had a great first experience tonight! We sat at the bar mainly because this place was hopping and just a few tables open. The bar guy was so pleasant and kind and it was consistent to everybody that approached him throughout our dining experience. One of the waitresses was also very kind and smiling and presto to assist. The place is clean and the kitchen looked clean as well. It is a very open space with couches, tables and chairs and games to the right. Very cool floor plan. A bit noisy as is expected when almost full. The beer was great and they have also light refreshments. We ordered meatballs as an appetizer and they were different. No sauce on the meatballs and fried. They were different yet tasty. The pizzas are from another world; they are huge and taste delish. All sorts of toppings and definitely to share. We asked about the coffee shop in the mornings and they open at 6:30 AM! This will be a great networking place during the week at any hour. Cannot wait to return in the morning. Definitely a great place for family and as I suggested for networking during the week. They have parking on the back adjacent to the building also. Izzi won’t disappoint!

My kids and I have a Saturday AM tradition to come to Izzi. I enjoy a delicious cappuccino in peace while they play the rubber duck claw machine ($1, guaranteed win). We have a whole family of rubber ducks. Easy parking in a lot, friendly staff, and one of the best local coffees - def a hidden gem for coffee!

I've reviewed Aslin before and I'll focus on the food and coffee I had this time since Izzi is that side of house. The staff is fantastic as always. Super friendly and eager to chat. Assuming it's not crazy and you're keeping them tied up, that is. The coffee is really solid and they've got some locally made pastries in addition to their breakfast sandwiches. For lunch/dinner you can get more traditional brewpub fare in pretzels, pizza, salad, etc. After a ton of drinks we opted for a pretzel and it was really solid. The mustard was actually sharp and the beer cheese was actually cheese instead of melted Velveeta. If you go during the day you shouldn't have a hard time finding a spot but I think it gets pretty crazy in the afternoon and evenings.

So bummed! Called specifically to ask if they deliver, or if I need a DoorDash etc. They said no problem, we will take your order over the phone and deliver to our hotel. They never called back or showed up. When we called a different staffer said, ya, we don't do that. No apology, no nothing. We are very disappointed... how easy would it have been to give us a call and let us know they weren't going to provide the food? Maybe they could've told us we prefer using DoorDash or GrubHub? I just don't get it.

What a cool place! The open hall seating is very inviting and chill. The food was amazing!! We went in for breakfast and the bagel sandwiches hit the spot! We ordered The OG and a custom breakfast sandwich - everything bagel with garlic and black pepper spread (THE BEST!!!) and egg. Both were so good! The bagels were fresh, crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. The OG was huge and filling enough to count for lunch. The egg was scrambled, light and fluffy. Hands down one of the best bagel sandwiches I've had!!!

So very impressed for breakfast! I mean I already love Aslin beer. I thought oh this might be weird to go for coffee and breakfast but let's try.... Coffee was good, solid, yummy, exactly what I asked for. 2 shot oat milk latte with a little lavender, pretty simple and straight forward. I was still surprised how good it tasted! Then the bagel salmon dill breakfast sandwich was REALLY good too! Like better then it had right to be. So highly recommend!!! We'd come back for sure.

We've tried Izzi twice in the last year, but won't be going back. The service has been terrible on both weekend visits. The food is just ok, but is overpriced and orders always arrive wrong or at the wrong table. The seating areas and atmosphere are nice, but it just isn't worth it for such bad service. For just beers on the patio, Aslin will remain a great spot... The primary problem with Izzi seems to be under-staffing. They seemed to have one server working the entire restaurant and outdoor area. When we came in, there were 5x un-bussed tables that remained that way for at least half an hour. The server herself eventually cleared the tables in between rushing around orders. Izzi uses a counter-based or phone-based ordering service. You would think this would make the accuracy of orders a cinch but somehow it is a regular issue here. Prices are high. $21 for a regular cheese pizza. $15 for a pretzel. 1x star for good beer and 1x star for good atmosphere/seating.

Always a great time. They have great beer and great service. Location is excellent and have had numerous fun times with friends there (and at Aslin).

First time at IZZI from Aslin and won't be my last! As soon as I walked in I felt an overwhelming, heartfelt welcome from these 2 sweetie pies! Ryen and Ruth are both so kind and very knowledgeable!! Ryen allowed me to try a few different beers and gave the perfect beer selection for me. The atmosphere was so cool, welcoming and fun. Def a kid friendly place but you can also have an adult conversation with friends. If you're in the area visiting or you I've near here, make sure to stop by and give a shout out to Ryen and Ruth!!

The pricing is a *wee* bit steep, but the food is all very solid pub fare, and the addition of delicious Aslin beer certainly doesn't hurt. Special shout out to the borderline-spectacular sourdough pizza, which is one of my favorites in the entire region.

Dropped in on Halloween morning. I ordered the honey cinnamon latte- yum- and a bagel with garlic cream cheese. Fast service, delicious bagel options and convenient location/parking. Can't wait to come back

Before you get hypnotized by the bad reviews, hear me out. I have three things I want you to consider: 1. Beer....lots of beer 2. Pizza....lots of pizza 3. Cheese curds....deep fried....trust me Now that we got that out of the way, let me give you my view on Herndon's newest hot spot. This past Friday, my wife and i decided to get out of the house and try out Izzi. We are normally patrons of the Breeze or Jimmy's, but decided it was time to branch out. We had no issue finding a table, even though the place was hopping. There are no waiters, in the traditional sense. Instead, each table has its own QR code that you do all of your ordering and payment through. I was skeptical when I started, but became a fan very quickly. For our appetizer, we went with the fried cheese curds. This falls far outside our nutritional comfort zone, but hey...why not? They were amazing. Hot, crispy and accompanied with a dipping sauce that tasted similar to a remoulade sauce. We at every last curd. No curd was left unturned, no curd was left undipped and no curd was left uneaten. Next up was the pizza. We went with the 16in pepperoni pizza that includes ricotta, along with mozzarella cheese. The crust has a sourdough tang that made both of us very happy. It also has a nice swirl of hot honey that gave the pizza a sweet and spicy kick, but not so much that it takes away from the rest of the pie. We ate the whole pie. No regrets. Thanks goes out to all of those hardworking bees that made our pie possible. There are so many things to try, and that doesn't include the long list of Aslin beer. We will be back to try the sandwiches, salads and sides. The service is quick and pleasant, they keep everything spotless and the open air dining room is really nice. You can enjoy eating outside without having to worry about the weather. On a separate note, they are open in the morning for coffee/breakfast. Given the increase in prices at Weird Brothers, Izzi is an excellent alternative. Their coffee is as good, if not better, than Weird Brothers. Stop and try it for yourself! Anyhow, I am giving Izzi five stars. It is a refreshing addition to the downtown Herndon dining scene. Good food, fair prices and a really nice place to kick back and relax.

I was excited to try the new restaurant that opened up right next to Aslin. I love Aslin and their menu options, however I was a little disappointed with the pizza next door sadly. I typically enjoy thick pizza like the Sicilian style, however I felt like they were very skimpy with toppings. The pizza felt drier than I hoped for and they really didn't put a lot on top. Toppings are extra, so I felt they definitely could've been more generous. My boyfriend got the same single Sicilian slice and added mushrooms - I think maybe only two or three mushrooms were added. Just kinda a steep price ($1 more) to get barely anything extra. I'd be open to trying other stuff on the menu but I'm hesitant now since I felt like I didn't really get the bang for my buck.

A giant pile of underwhelming. We ordered several shareables and all of them were shockingly salty. I couldn't eat the olives and couldn't eat more than two of the brussel sprout halves because I couldn't stomach the salt. I've attached a photo of a pile of salt that was visible on the brussel sprouts. The fried cheese curds were salty, but tolerable. Nice and crunchy. The last thing we ordered from the food menu is the frisee and mushroom salad. Like the other things - salty. More tolerable than the olives or brussel sprouts though, but I would not order this again. The menu said "olives and vegetables," but there we almost no vegetables. I've attached a photo. The Americano I ordered was maybe the worst item. It had a weird chemically-floral aftertaste. I couldn't get past about five sips.

Meeting up with a friend and visiting the area , enjoyed their pizza and beer , definitely will be back on the next trip

4/5, July 2022. We stopped by to check out the new place as we're long time fans of Aslin. They've literally just opened this week so we were expecting some hick ups and we did have them. But the managers were really good about keeping us informed and taking care of things. To me that's a huge part of getting a place stood up. If you've got that you're on the right track. The service was very good all things considered and you can order from your table from either the restaurant or the tap room next door. That process worked fairly well and our drinks arrived reasonably quickly given how busy they were on such a beautiful night. I look forward to seeing this place reach its potential and we'll definitely be back.

I ordered food from here while drinking at Aslin Beer Company. It took a while to get the pizza and the service was slow when I even went up to ask for ranch. The pizza itself went well with beer, but was slightly burnt. I want to try more of their food next time to get a better opinion, but my first impression so far is it's not anything special.

Very forgettable place. I've been passing this place ever since it opened and it looked pretty cool. Open air, trendy interior etc so I knew I wanted to visit. I finally went there today for lunch and ordered a mushroom pizza. So let me separate the food from the experience. The 16" pizza was very good. Well at $28 it should be but if you ignore the price it was excellent. Now let's get to the experience. My buddy and I sat at a table and there was no menu. Only a QR code. So I scanned it and it wanted me to give my email and a password. Uhhh no. I don't need any more spam. So we decided to sit at the counter where there was a menu. We ordered and asked for two waters. We were told we had to get our own water at the end of the counter. There were small plastic cups and the water was warm. Not a great experience. Food came out and that's the last we saw of any help staff. Had to ask twice to get the check. Also asked for pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese. Parmesan cheese never came out. I was so disappointed because the restaurant has so much potential but the iffy service and overpriced food was not a great experience. I won't be back.

I really want to give these guys five stars, but it's hard to at this point. Love the concept, the food is amazing and everyone knows their beers are great. The issue is after a year of being open, their kitchen is overall, a mess. We frequent Izzi for breakfast. We'll go on a run and finish there early in the morning. In the 12-15 times we have gone, they've either been out of food, super long wait times (with virtually no one there) and even had one time they told us they didn't have kitchen staff to make food (yet I saw multiple cooks back there)? This past time we came around 11:10 to grab breakfast. They told us they shut down food from 11-11:30 to transition to lunch? That seems inefficient and doesn't make sense. I feel like there's always a decent amount of people there between those times-it seems like a real loss of revenue. Anyway, I really like these guys, but trying to successfully order food can be a serious flip of the coin.

I am a regular customer at the coffee shop and can say confidently that the service is some of the friendliest I've found in NoVa. As for the coffee, the pour overs are so good - so much better than anything I can make myself at home and the drip coffee is the best drip coffee I've had. The espresso drinks are great, too. Cado breakfast sandwich is fresh, delicious, and enormous, especially good with hot sauce. Pastries are the best I've found in NoVa, too. The morning bun is flaky and outstanding. I also really love their salads, their cheese curds are top-notch (coming from an Iowan married to a Wisconsinite), and the pizza is delicious, too. Kid-friendly as well. You will regularly see kids and babies around - my kids love watching the saved by the bell re-runs! They have lots of events that I look forward to attending, though I mostly go now to do some remote work or take friends and family to a reliable crowd-pleaser. Love the big windows and comfy couches for ambiance! This place is worth your support!

Tonight was my last time going to Izzi, unless they make big changes to their business model. I've been to some places that do the self-order model well. This is not one of those places. The food is quite expensive, but mediocre at best taste-wise. For example, a $25 pizza probably shouldn't be half-burned on the bottom. When we sent it back, the replacement one also came out half-burnt and the server just looked fed up and resigned at that point. The overall service experience was abysmal. I had to walk to the bar to get utensils, drink refills, and condiments for the pizza. None of the staff ever greeted us, or when dropping off food, never asked how we were doing or if we needed anything else. The attitude of the staff generally seemed annoyed, burned out, apathetic or something, but either way, definitely didn't seem real excited about being there. The atmosphere is decent enough, but not enough to make up for other things lacking. I really want to like them and support local small businesses, but I've just found myself increasingly annoyed the last couple times I've been to Izzi.

Highly recommend the pepperoni pizza, the sides and the chicken sandwich. The Aslin beer has always been great so it's a plus that they serve this. I cannot give it 5 stars because of how terrible the Buffalo chicken pizza is. I went with a group of 6 guys (none of us are picky eaters) and we all took one bite of the Buffalo pizza and agreed it is the worst pizza we've ever had. Some of the guys felt sick after it. It shocks me that a chef that created some great menu items would be comfortable serving this to any customer. Go to IZZY and eat, just stick with the pepperoni pizza.

This place does not disappoint! We have been here for pizza/beer which is yummy as well, but wanted to try their breakfast. The everything bagel with ham, egg, and cheese was so tasty! It's probably the best tasting everything bagel I've had. The coffee choices were great and very good. Employees were nice and helpful.

I've eaten here several times and have enjoyed the food overall. For me the (Aslin) beer can be hit and miss, but I'm separating that from Izzi for the sake of this review. Today I stopped in for a late lunch and they were pretty slow. The kitchen staff and bartenders were friendly and chatting while they cleaned up from the earlier lunch crowd. I ordered their signature pepperoni, which they were quick to serve up for me. Their dough is nice and light, with the right amount of crispiness and a good cheese/sauce/crust ratio. I have to shout out Kaz from the kitchen, I hope that's right, for his friendly service and a *perfect* pepperoni pie today worthy of the 5 star rating.

Sicilian pizza was okay, definitely could've been better. A tall female server with short wavy hair that we had numerous interactions with was incredibly rude. She made it obvious that she was unhappy being there and made our time there unpleasant. I'd advise to drive a bit further to MOD pizza & grab a drink at Jimmy's Tavern instead.

Okay a year has gone by and I need to add an update. The immediate issue is that I went this morning for a breakfast sandwich a salmon cream cheese thing and a cup of coffee. Essentially I was there 45 minutes and as best I can tell only three groups, me, a couple and a family with three small children were waiting for breakfast. The family was there before me and when I left complete with refund, still had no food. BTW the coffee I had ordered for my breakfast went cold while waiting. After 45 minutes and watching the chef lazily cook, I mean not only no sense of urgency, it looked like nearly a work stoppage. Managements explanation was he doesn't ordinarily cook breakfast. My answer was my kids are faster than this. Everything was faster than this. A one off mistake is easy to overlook but lately I have overlooked a number of things. Most recently I ordered a new item on the menu fried bologna sandwich, ordinarily one of my favorites, this thing had been brutalized. It was so overcooked it tasted like salt. A few of their other sandwiches are on such hard bread that they are inedible and half of the ingredients are sticking out of the sandwich so that the only way to eat them is to open them up and eat them with a knife and fork. I still think this is a good enough place to come and have pizza and some of the best beer in entire area. If management is serious about other foods they better try eating what they're serving and make sure the kitchen is turning out product in a timely manner. For me I went home and made my own breakfast. Whole grain toast, spicy mustard, pimento cheese spread, with scrambled eggs and finely chopped kielbasa from Chicago with NY half sour pickles and a grilled shishito pepper pictured below. It took me 12 minutes from the time I walked in the door.

Updating my review: recently tried Izzi again and had a great experience. I sat outside and was able to get great service even on a busy Saturday morning. My server was attentive and helpful, and the coffee and bagel I enjoyed were quite scrumptious. I will definitely be back to try some other things on the menu!

A very enjoyable addition to the Herndon area. Confused about the mixed reviews, because it was an absolute five star experience for us when we came in. Hope they grow through whatever growing pains others have had!

Shame to make another er review regarding the female waitress with short wavy hair but wow. The rude behavior and absolute disrespect is appalling. She acts like a simple question is disgusting to her and walks away with a look like you killed her dog. Sad for a new restaurant we wanted to love.

Honestly the food was not worth it at all. How can you charge $20 for a cheese board and then serve that? Four small pieces of cheese. Then some walnuts and an afterthought of preserves. The cheese was not good quality either especially considering the price. Also the plate of olives was $8. Again, highly disappointing for the price. If you're going to upcharge on food, at least have it be somewhat worth it. The service was fine, a little slow. The wait staff was generally nice, although not really approachable due to how food/drink is delivered. Ambiance was good. There are plenty of seating areas both in doors and outdoors. The theme and decor are also pleasant and swanky. The concept is awesome, the execution is not great.

Really good pizza, great beer, and the brown butter orange latte is delicious. Service has been excellent and we are big fans.

Brand new and totally with the wait. Pizza and Kale salad were both excellent and the drink menu is fantastic.

Came for the Coffee and Cars event in 9/18. Great, laid back set up. Coffee is delicious and the breakfast pastry options were good. Definitely plan on returning for just "regular" days to enjoy their coffee options.

Big shout out to the manager last Friday night. Our order accidentally was missed and the manager personally apologized comp'd our meal and offered to buy us a round. So incredibly nice we didn't mind at all. great neighborhood hang out!

Pizza reminds me of Badd Pizza, has a distinct sugar taste. $20 for a cheese, yeah right. Place is waaaaay overpriced and not good.

Excellent pizza, and you can't get better than that outdoor seating (and Aslin beer) on a nice day.

We've had their pizza twice and really enjoyed it! Izzi is fast becoming our "we have no idea what we want but need good stress-eating food" place.

Pizza is delicious and the atmosphere is awesome. The staff are very nice. They have tons of outdoor space and it's super easy to order and start a tab right at your table.

The upside down pizza is a must have! Pair it with an Aslin Trite or one of the Starfish IPAs for the win. If you are lucky enough to be served by Matt or Malaika you have hit the jackpot! George and the kitchen staff are also top notch. Sit outside on warm weather nights and relax inside on cooler evenings with shuffleboard or coaster frisbee. Perfect Saturday night!

Stopped by after visiting Aslin for their Winter Beer release. The space is industrial but accommodating. The pizza was good and had a decent espresso.

I am a fan of Aslin. The other reviews are correct. Unfortunately Izzi doesn't live up to the mark. Hopefully this is just a new opening issue and some of the kinks will be worked out. The service was extremely slow. Pizza was average. The space is industrial, with a shuffle board table and some video games. May be a good destination, just needs some time and improvements.

My boyfriend and I are big fans of Aslin, so we were finally excited to have a food option as well next door. We ordered the Buffalo chicken pizza and it was okay for the most part. We found the pizza was too thin in the middle and it was so drenched in Buffalo sauce that it was dripping. I would be interested in trying a different pizza next time. We also got the cheese bites to share as an appetizer and those were good, but the sauce that came with them didn't wow us. May come back to review again when we try them out again.

Went here looking for a casual place to enjoy some pizza and beer. This place exceeded my expectations. Great pies and great beer. Great patio and great staff.

I have never had more delicious Brussel sprouts We also enjoyed their cheese curds and meatballs. Loved their brews! Try the pecan pie one. I wish it had been available to buy to take home. We did get 4 other ones and they're all enjoyable.

I'm a little surprised by some of the comments about the pizza, I really liked it. I especially liked the sourdough style crust and the cupping on the pepperoni. My cohorts on this day also tried the chicken sandwich and the burger, which they enjoyed. Both looked tasty to me and I look forward to trying them both.

Meh. Usually visiting for Aslin. Was a little bummed they split with the food trucks, but I was tentatively hopeful for the new restaurant. The two times I've gone, I've had a Nashville hot chicken sandwich that was pretty good and a pizza that was acceptable. The garage doors make for a pretty good atmosphere and chill in the summer, but I did notice some small pests so I guess that's a double edged sword.

Excellent pizza and beer. Stopped in on a busy Friday night and service was surprisingly fast. We got the pepperoni, ricotta and hot honey and it was delicious. The dough is phenomenal. One critique is to have an area with to go boxes readily available for leftovers.

We thought about trying something new while in Herndon so we tried this place. The appetizer was great, roasted Brussel Sprouts, crispy and full of flavor. Drinks OK, not a full pour on a small glass of beer and the soft drink, but the water was free; self serve. Cheese Pizza came out, burnt, not very good. The server never came back to refill the soda. Everything was phone order, a little pricey for the items and service, could stand some improvement.

Pizza is good but I STAY FOR THE CHEESE BURGER! The coffee in the morning is good as well! Service is usually slow due to brewery. So order once you get there!

Ate there tonite. Walked up to the bar to order and was told to order using a QR code at my seat. Waited 10 minutes for the drink another 10 for the food. Why did I order another beer after dinner? Waited 20 minutes and was storming the bar to cancel my QR code beer when the waitress appeared with my beer. She asked me why I didn't go to the bar? I told her they asked me to order using a qr code to order.
