Delicious. The menu has some really different dishes and I loved what we ordered. The Bistro is a small place with a cupcake bakery attached. We tried the Bahn Mi Benedict and the Lemon Ricotta pancakes. The Benedict was so good and unlike anything I’ve ever had before. The Lemon ricotta pancakes were super moist with a great lemon taste infused in the cakes and topped with blueberries (which I’m not normally a fan of). Everything was presented beautifully. We went back in the evening and got a pizza and that was so good as well. I was only visiting in the area or this place would be a place that I would visit regularly. I highly recommend!

We’ve been here three times in about a month and it’s our favorite pizza around. It’s certainly a much different style (Detroit) pizza than others you will find but it is awesome. My favorite is tje Motor City and then I add ricotta! The slices are surprisingly filling. Two people can share a pizza unless you are very hungry. I doubt many people eat a whole pizza (4 slices) themselves. The leftovers reheat great in the oven. Each time we have gone we have been seated immediately and the food has come out quickly. The staff has also all been very friendly. Give this place a shot. I really hope this place sticks around. It isn’t that large and I think if more people tried it they might run out of space and need to expand.

Food can take a little long but it's worth the wait. We loved the creativity in the brunch menu. Highly recommend the braised short rib egg bowl, that was fantastic. The brioche thick crust pizza was also quite good. Love the cheery and airy atmosphere as well. Helped with our dreary NoVa winter days.

Fantastic pizza. Amazing crust and really good sauce. One of the best pizzas for sure. My favorite is defiantly Detroit style pizza with pepperoni. And if you have some space left the Red Velvet are fantastic. Really recommended. Will you go back? Oh yesss, for sure! How would you rate our service? Awesome! Did our restaurant meet your standard of cleanliness and hygiene? Yes, I really love the cleanliness on the restaurant. Was your order correct? It was perfect.

Always a great find when everyone loves their order! My boys asked the waiter about working here, specifically if that got him free pizza! Then they asked me if we could move somewhere closer so they could come here more often. Truly an excellent experience, the food, the atmosphere and the service were top notch.

Specifically went to try the Detroit pizza which is my favorite style and so few places get it right. Little Beast has the crust and cheese combo figured out! Appetizer game is stronger here too with Ox tots on horseradish cream sauce and flash fried cauliflower on hummus. Would offer all of these things again and maybe try a salad too. Service was excellent, fast and friendly. Also a rare combo of course to a metro stop with ample parking... Well done and looking forward to trying this again.

Absolutely fabulous pizza! This place is really interesting and a unique addition to the area. Detroit style pizza (incredible) and Red Velvet cupcakes in one location. Only downside to this place is that you can only eat so much. We also had the dips which really blew me away. Their focaccia bread is the best I've had in years. Fresh made hummus was also dank. Our server was definitely busy with the dinner rush but didn't make us feel like we were waiting. Really friendly and made awesome recommendations. I'll definitely be back to try this pizza to go, cause I don't think they have a competitor other than maybe mellow mushroom for best pizza in the area. 5* please try this place!! They need to become a Reston staple.

Our first time at Little Beast Bistro after learning about all the great previous reviews. The previous reviews were absolutely correct. What a wonderful place! Crispy crust on the outside. Pillowing soft crust on the inside. The Detroit style pizza is simply different. Different from NY style pizza and different from Chicago style pizza. All great styles to enjoy. Those living in the DMV can now enjoy Detroit style pizza without having to travel to Michigan. You will also enjoy it. We certainly did!
