Nothing fancy here, just a cozy super casual come as you are neighborhood cafe, with lots of variety in terms of beer, sandwiches and pizzas. Speaking of pizza, to set expectations, Lost Dog’s is good (for the area) but it’s not in the same league as Pepe’s.

Ordered via “Uber Eats” tonight. Talk about a restaurant that supports our fur babies. Lost Dog Cafe has an amazing story on how and what it’s purpose of existence. Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation is a major part of the Lost Dog Cafe, with generous donations and part of the restaurant goes to fund our precious four legged friends. So when you support Lost Dog Cafe, you’re support our local animals. The food is out of this world, check out the Westover sandwich, you will enjoy it from start to the last bite!

I went to a Lost Dog pizza deli with a couple of people on my coaching staff. I’ve never been to a lost dog before, but I truly enjoyed myself. There is a section where they have a diverse selection of craft beers, another section for seating to order pizza and subs/sandwiches, and a cafe. Our bartenders, Pam and Dave, did a great job hosting us during our visit. They’ve been in operation for 38 years now. In 2001, they started a rescue for dogs and cats. They have a very diverse selection of pizza and sandwiches. I look forward to going back.

Food was fantastic! The server was friendly and polite. There was a little wait for seating because of the lunch rush. I had the Buffalo Beagle it was crunchy and delicious!

Love this place! One of the best pizza places around with so many tasty, unique pizza options in a casual setting with friendly service. We had the Kujo pie, but substituted pepperoni for chicken; it was super flavorful and not greasy. I would definitely eat this again. We also ate the Italian pie with added jalapeños, really good! Will definitely be back!

Love this place. It has an amazing menu with so much variety. Unique choices as well as familiar ones. A cafe with not only a purpose to give customers a great experience, but to help animals as well. Our table each had something different so it was like a buffet and I am glad we did it that way. Food was terrific and I seriously had a hard time just chosing one thing. But I did it. Drink choices, just as hard to figure out. Thankfully the staff could point me in the right direction for an amazing choice. This place is worth a stop for amazing food and terrific customer service. Going to definitely stop back for another fantastic meal soon

Great place with a great atmosphere. The menu is huge with so many options. I decided to ask the cashier to narrow it down for me. She helped me figure out what I wanted and I ordered a delicious sandwich. The atmosphere is cheerful and energetic. Great place for all ages.

My wife and I were traveling through the area and decided to stop in because the name sounded cool—we were right! The dog-themed artwork throughout the cafe is such a fun touch and gives the place a great vibe. The sandwich menu is absolutely out of this world. I had the New York Yankee, and while I’m not a fan of the baseball team, I am now a huge fan of that sandwich! We also tried the 'dog collar' onion rings, which were clearly homemade and perfectly crispy. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was excellent across the board. It’s a great local find, and I would definitely stop in again next time I'm in town. Highly recommend!
