Little Beast Cafe & Bistro

Came here for the @dc_pizzatour as it's highly recommended, but a little out of my way.Was satisfied with the decor here. A very cute monster theme that's colorful and omnipresent made for a cute and comfortable experience. Seems like a great neighborhood family restaurant that's kid-friendly. Ordered a Detroit deep dish and a regular pizza. A few cocktails to go with it, and bakery cupcakes that were conveniently sold in the same establishment. The deep dish pizza was deliciously cheesy, but controversial. Why? Because the crust was quite thin and the toppings were layered between cheese (at least in the one we got) so it almost felt like a cheesy lasagna-pizza. Delicious, though!Overall very satisfied with all the pies ordered for our #dcpizzatour. It was a birthday event, and so as soon as we ordered, I went and reserved a few cupcakes for our birthday boy. I was pleased with the number of options to choose from, and picked a number of his favorite peanut butter chocolates flavored cakes, along with a birthday cupcake. By the time we were ready for the cakes, it was late and we were told the cakes were on the house! We sang and blew out a candle and it was perfect :) definitely not an experience we could have at just any pizza joint. Would definitely come back for their crispy lasagna pizza

I'm afraid the quality of the service here has really dropped off recently. Two recent visits suggest that the servers are not being well trained or not paying attention. Easy to fix but someone needs to pay attention.We ordered a salad, pizza and a hamburger. The salad, which should have come first, came with the burger, followed by pizza. We waited for a few minutes (as the food cooled) so that cutlery and napkins and plates could be brought to the table. Water glasses were never refilled. Requests for extra napkins and a pizza box at the end required reminding. And, when the bill came, and we suggested that the server take away the plates, he seemed confused so we literally had to hand him the plates so that we could put our pizza in the box and sign the bill.I suggest to management that you provide a refresher training to some of your servers. This is not an isolated incident.Happily the pizza and hamburger still taste pretty good. I don't think there's any probability that this wonderful neighborhood restaurant will fail but they really could use better service. It has affected the enjoyment of the meal.

I've only been for pick up a few times, but their Detroit style pizza is very tasty, but leans on the greasy side. The regular wood style pizza is good but very Italian style and thin so toppings tend to take over but still good. We look forward to dining in one of these days and trying some new bites.

Have you ever wondered what the food tastes like in heaven? Well, look no further. If you tried to build the food equivalent of a fantasy league, it would be everything on this menu. So delicious. Their Detroit style pizza is the closest thing. I have found anywhere in DC to a true deep dish pizza. It just blows my mind. They have so many interesting and quirky items on the menu. Well worth a visit, followed by many return visits.

There are only so many restaurants that my entire family adores, and Little Beast is one of them. I wish I could comment on more of the menu but truthfully, the first two Detroit style pizzas we tried (classic cheese and the Red Wing) were so tasty that we keep ordering the same thing! It's a delicious balance of crispy crust over dense, cheesy, saucy goodness. The fresh squeezed juices have creative flavors like blood orange and sides like street corn are made more interesting with a topping of hot Cheetos. The restaurant is kid-friendly, with good patio dining space -- great for both avoiding COVID and feeling a little less bad about your messy children. The service has always been friendly and decently fast, barring the busiest weekend dinner crowds. The location is a great spot nearby many other beloved local stores and restaurants, and parking is pretty easy in the neighborhood.

Thanks for serving up the flavors; you've just been visited by the taste-makers of Flavors Club!Little Beast is an absolutely exceeded all expectations! We kicked off our dining experience with some essential starters: Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Cheesy Gordie Sticks, and the Whipped Ricotta - each dish was a flavor explosion and a total game-changer. The burger, an undisputed hidden gem, left us in awe with its juiciness and the delightful touch of caramelized bacon. Every bite was a journey through savory perfection.What sets Little Beast apart is not just the extraordinary menu but also the captivating vibe. The ambiance is next level - a super cute spot adorned with local artists' beast and monster masterpieces, creating an immersive and unique atmosphere. We wholeheartedly recommend checking out Little Beast for a culinary adventure that goes beyond expectations. It's a true gem waiting to be discovered.Little Beast has earned its spot on my list of go-to favorites!

This is some of the best pizza in the area. The only caveat is you have to eat it fresh, it's a bit too oily when it cools down. The Gordie sticks also amazing with the vodka sauces. Our waiter was nice and the restaurant is really laid back. I'd come back again when I'm in the area.

This is a very local place, I've been here several times over the years. The outdoor deck is quite nice for a beer and pizza. I've tried most of the pizza's, and most are good, but 8mile is the best. On tap they rotate several microbrews, at least two lagers, one sour, one wheat, and often two IPAs, so there is always something good. The other menu items are fine, but nothing special. Nothing on the menu is inexpensive, but the prices are typical for the neighborhood.

Both the Detroit-style and brick oven pizza are phenomenal! Having Red Velvet onsite for dessert is a nice treat, but selection is sometimes picked over.Service is always excellent and friendly!

LOVE the outdoor patio! Drinks are great, food is good (especially the Detroit Style Pizza)! Not into the desserts that are from next door.BIGGEST complaint is that we watched a man walk in and ask a female server whether he could order some food to go. He was told that he could not because the restaurant was closing because it was 9pm. We looked at our phones and saw that it was ONLY 8:37PM!!! The man left and went to go find other food. Crappy way to treat a paying customer...especially when just To Go!
