"This restaurant has transformed into a mini complex of sorts on the south end of Del Ray, made up of Lena’s itself, the Loft at Lena’s upstairs (with a rotating theme, currently Havana 151 with Cuban food and salsa dancing), and the outdoor Lena’s Beer Garden. No matter the setting, you can find solid pizzas, bar food like garlic-parmesan wings, and some dishes with a twist like garlic bread paired with pepperoni sauce." - Missy Frederick, Adele Chapin
"In honor of National Pride Month, the Del Ray eatery serves a Stormé Spark cocktail featuring Civic vodka, apple brandy, watermelon shrub. It’s inspired by Stormé DeLarverie, whose scuffle with police outside of the Stonewall Inn in 1969 is considered the “spark” that ignited the Stonewall Riots. A dollar from each cocktail will be donated to Safe Space NOVA." - Evan Caplan
"In Del Ray, this pizzeria created a garden oasis complete with misters and fans for hot days. Keep cool with frozen drinks like citrus sangrias and frosé. There’s also $4 wine and $5 beer during happy hour." - Adele Chapin
"I learned that from the Opening Ceremony through the Closing Ceremony this Alexandria pizza shop will offer prix fixe menus named after medals: the bronze ($25) includes any pizza and a draft beer or a glass of wine, the silver ($37) adds a dip starter, and the gold ($47) tacks on a dessert." - Chelsea Cirruzzo
"In Del Ray, Lena’s Wood-Fired Pizza & Tap turned a bland parking garage into Lena’s Oasis. The top floor of the parking deck is now a 5,200-square-foot tented space with elaborate decor. (Inside, the theme at The Loft at Lena’s is “Full Bloom,” with spring florals everywhere.)" - Adele Chapin
