Pepsi for the win, amazing brick over pizza, the garlic bread actually has garlic Only down side is it's not a traditional table service restaurant so there's a lot of help yourself kind of things, like a to go box or if you need a refill you go to the counter, other than that it's good pizza read more

My partner recommended this spot because he always stops by for lunch during work, and he wanted to show me what all the hype was about. Now I totally get it. The Don's really impressed me, and I already know I'll be craving their pizza after work. The atmosphere: It's located in a quaint area and has both indoor and outdoor seating. The food: My partner ordered the White and Hawaiian slices, while I went with the BBQ Chicken Man and Sicilian Hit. He also raved about their combo deals, which are such a great value. One combo includes two specialty slices and a fountain drink for $8.50, and there's another with two cheese slices and a fountain drink for $7. I also loved the selection of toppings available at each table. They had parmesan, a blend of pepper flakes, oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, and more. Pretty much anything you could want, they had. The pizza itself was delicious and filling. The crust was the perfect thickness, and they definitely did not skimp on the toppings. The service: The staff was friendly and speedy overall, no complaints. read more

Via YELP Delivery: Don's Pizza was exceptional as far as we could taste, BUT Yelp Delivery did its best to RUIN the wonderful meals of a customized pizza and a customized calzone. We received our order stone cold, even though we kept a watchful eye via our RING doorbell camera. We included instructions to "ring our doorbell". The delivery person needn't wait; they just need to notify us that the order has arrived. No such luck! No SMS. No email. No delivery photo. I'd certainly try Don's again! They have so many great, and a little unusual, pizza toppings, e.g., Italian Fontina, Eggplant, and Prosciutto. It would be difficult to come away with a bad meal; perhaps a bad combination ;) ha ha Yelp Delivery is Awful! read more

Seating is first come first serve at this small, but delish wood fire pizza spot. The Dons' is truly worth the hype and is my favorite pizza spot in NOVA. The ingredients are so fresh, the wood fire is so hot, and service is fast. The Dons' have my favorite crust. It's thin, but hardy, perfectly chewy and has that great char from the wood fire. Pizza can be ordered by the slice, small 12'' or a large 18''. You can sit inside or outside, just remember to order at the counter. Bonus points that they carry Juniors cheesecake, making it truly NY style! read more

This place is amazing! Their salads complimented the pizza perfectly. We got one of their new pizzas that had pepperoni and hot honey drizzled on top. It was absolutely delicious. Their pizza crust is super thin and crispy. We will definitely be back again to try their other pizzas! read more

Me and my kiddos came here on a Sunday evening to check this place out. I had to test the theory of being the number one pizza joint in Northern Va. To start off, there was a lot of cool sports memorabilia on the walls. Also the service was great. The pizza was really good and we all enjoyed it!!! Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our wood fire pizza experience. I truly recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

I was wanting a good pizza, and preferably wood fired so I checked around. This place was a little bit of a drive but worth trying. There was plenty of free parking, which helped. The staff were very friendly and we grabbed a table right away. The setting is very casual so great for family and friends, but not that romantic first date. The prices are decent, especially given the flavors are solid. On this trip, my wife, son, and I went for the Tommy Gunn tomato and mozzarella, and Rico's bacon chicken ranch. Both were very good; they will not disappoint. read more

I would actually give 3,5 stars, as their thin crust pizza is not bad. My husband likes pizza and usually he orders delivery or take away, but today we were near by and came in. It's a small place with few tables inside, but they have an outdoor sitting for warmer weather. We got our order fairly quickly, the staff is friendly and nice. I'm not a huge pizza fan, but this place is pretty popular in tge area and they have a lot of takeout orders. read more

Worth the hype with the fast-service, thin crust, wood-fired pizzas at Don's. It's a delicious-style restaurant with counter ordering, limited service, roughly 6 tables, and no alcohol license. Clearly a popular takeout spot, I noticed they have very good value sliced pizza and various combos. Love how even though the pizza was thin, the thick toppings still held and you could eat with your hands and even fold each slice! Would definitely return read more

**Another Visit to The Dons -- Still Coming Back (Even With a Few Detours)** Stopped into The Dons around 7pm last night and wow -- they were absolutely slammed. That's usually a good sign, so I rolled with it. I ordered a slice of the *Fat & Skinny Pepperoni* topped with fresh parmesan and basil to hold me over while waiting for a medium pizza of the same, plus a salad. Tipped the cashier in cash (because good pizza karma matters) and settled in. And waited. And waited some more. Eventually my pizza came out, and the staff apologized that my waiting slice never made it to me and instead got boxed up with the medium. No worries -- stuff happens. I headed home happy. Until I realized... no salad. Cue the reluctant round-trip back. To their credit, as soon as they saw me, they handed me the salad immediately. Back home I went again, officially *very* ready to eat. The slice? Fantastic. Exactly why I like this place. Then I opened the medium pizza box... and yeah -- this one missed the mark. No big pepperoni slices, very little cheese, and it looked like it was assembled in a hurry (which, to be fair, it was a crazy night). So yes -- trip number three back to The Dons, pizza in hand (minus one investigative bite to confirm the cheese situation). Here's where it matters: the lead guy running the crew listened, got it immediately, and remade the pizza perfectly. Fresh, well-built, generous toppings -- exactly how it should be. Hats off to him. That kind of ownership is why I keep coming back. Side note: I'm fluent in Spanish, and it's always entertaining listening to the back-and-forth commentary when no one realizes you understand every word... but I'll leave it at that. No biggie. Bottom line: even on a chaotic night with a few hiccups, The Dons made it right -- and they did it the right way. That counts. And yes... I'll be back. read more

This place can do no wrong in my mind! Not only are they a proud Christian establishment (Loveeee thattttt for us)!!!!!! But they make FUEGO (fire ) pizza! Literally, they bake all the pizza in a wood fire oven Anyways, every time I go I try and get a new flavor. So far my favorites are: Buffalo chicken 9/10 Sicilian pizza 9/10 Pepperoni SOLID CHOICE 8/10 Ambiance is casual but cute. The shopping center is nice. There's a decent amount of outdoor and indoor seats combined. However it is a small spot so there aren't plenty of seats if it gets packed. Good spot for groups and families to eat. The pricing is average, it's not overpriced read more

This is as close as you're going to get to eating a New York pie. There's a special where you can get two slices with any toppings with a drink for under $10.00. You'd pay more at McDonald's for heart attack food. Kimberly who takes the orders is an absolute doll! She was so sweet to me and my son and every time we are in Virginia this is spot is a must . Kimberly should get a raise ! She's a terrific Puerto Rican young female who looks like Lauren Velez . I really think this is the best pizzeria in the whole DMV Area easily . read more

Pizza is all about the crust and the sauce, and the Dons' gets them PERFECT. A friend of mine brought me here in early 2026, and I liked it so much that we started our first car club drive (18 Mazda Sports Cars with a lunch here. We showed up just before they opened and the staff was not flustered at all to find 40+ people (32 from my group and other locals as well) waiting for them to open on a Sunday morning. This was the first time for many of my club, and everyone was loving the pizza. It's telling that ALL the plates were clean - everyone ate the whole slice. I'm sure that folks will be stopping by regularly. read more

Nice little place with great food. Ideal place for lunch having pizza and or their sandwiches.

Ordered a pizza to a nearby brewpub through the website. Not sure who was ultimately to blame but between the finger pointing and unhelpful interactions with both the pizza place and their delivery service, the pizza arrived over an hour after I ordered it and it was cold and stiff. The pizza was OK. Might be better when hot and fresh. read more

Wanted some slices and Yelp found this place. Nice selection. Had a slice of mushroom and a slice of bbq chicken. A team of youth soccer players showed up halfway through so it just be popular with the locals! read more

Great pizza, and responsive management. I have gone to this restaurant for the last 3 years and it's always consistently great food. read more

FAIR PRICE!! I stopped in for lunch and found the place pleasantly quiet. The staff delivered excellent customer service throughout my visit. I tried a slice of pizza and Angelo's Chicken Pesto Sandwich. The pizza was thin and crispy, with no char, a flavorful sauce, just the right amount of cheese, and a perfect topping ratio- everything you'd want in a great pizza. The sandwich was generously sized, easily shareable, and a fantastic value for the price. However, it was a bit oily, which made it slightly soggy, so I'd recommend asking for the oil on the side next time. Overall, it's a spot worth checking out! read more

Great for takeout, you can order online. The calzone we got was gigantic, the meatballs were tasty. Would order this again, I thought the value wasn't great until it showed up and portions are huge. Thin crust, and the wings are fired in the pizza oven too, I think. Good stuff. read more

Damn this place was good! 2 slices and a drink.... I was blown away with taste quality and price. Will eat here again.

Absolutely recommend this place for pizza. I'd go as far as saying it's the best pizza in NoVa. It has been a place on my list for a long time and we finally decided to try it for a little date night last night. My gf ordered a slice of cheese and a White Lie. I ordered the Sicilian Hit. You can order by the slice or a whole pie. The cheese pizza is one of the best we've had. I thoroughly enjoyed the Sicilian Hit. The meatballs and sausage were actual good ingredients which made the pizza so flavorful. The crust was thinner like that of an Italian style pizza. It wasn't too thick or thin. It tasted amazing. Hands down my favorite pizza. The service was quick. They cook the pizzas in a brick oven and it only took about 5 mins or so for us to get ours. Can't complain with a pizza coming out hot and fast lol. The ambiance is very casual. You can order it and eat there or you can take it to go. They have plenty of seats inside. And they also have some outdoor tables with umbrellas. The umbrellas even have little lights in them! Definitely going to recommend this place to everyone that asks about pizza. It's going to be a new staple in our rotation. read more

Went here last week because it was the only restaurant within walking distance that was open during the snow storm! Awesome service. Everyone was so nice! And the food was PHENOMENAL. Their stromboli's were amazing, I can't rave about it enough! Everything was decently priced too. Probably one of the cheaper pizza places that I've been with stellar food quality. I loved how well-loved this place is by the community. Lots of Commanders memorabilia fill the walls! Love it. read more

Small but mighty. The pizza was excellent. Service is a bit odd, you order at the register and pay before you eat. Small inside. Seems to do a ton of delivery and take out orders. Pleased that the pizza is crispy but disappointment set in when I realized it was really Neopolitan pizza. read more

Great pizza that comes out fast! Say goodbye to Domino's or Pizza Hut if you live in Sterling because The Dons' blows them out of the water. Pizza comes out within 5 minutes of ordering, I saw them put it in their pizza oven. I recommend bringing your own drink because you have to go up to the counter every time you want a refill for both water and sodas. I got a medium pizza with meatballs and sausage - the two tasted pretty similar but I can't complain. Pizza itself tasted great, light and doughy with gooey cheese. My girlfriend got a Vegetariana and they were much more hefty with the toppings on her pizza. Seems like ordering one of the pre-built pizzas is the way to go. I'm not in the area often but The Dons' will definitely be on my radar when I am! If you're tired of the same old pizza chains or frozen pizza, treat yourself to The Dons' read more

Great, wholesome pizza with great taste! I ordered the family size one (largest) and add 4-5 toppings of whatever, I added pepperoni, chicken sausage, mushrooms, green pepper and I think spinach. Came out really well! Whole family enjoyed it. Would recommend coming here, and will likely be back. Only minus is the prices are somewhat expensive, but the pizza has a unique taste much different from PJs or dominos etc. so I can def appreciate the authentic taste of the pizza here.

It was our first time visiting the place. Food was great! Loved their pizza!! Service was questionable. One lady who took our orders didnt have any patience. Seemed like she was in a hurry to get our order when we were still undecided. No friendliness at all. There was no one in line either. The person gathering our dirty trays seemed annoyed as well. I enjoyed the food but was dissatisfied with the attitude of some employees. Would probably just do take out next time. read more

Arrived Friday night and it was pretty empty. The atmosphere was nice. Had a lot of pictures on the wall of famous athletes. There were a few people but not full and plenty of room to sit outside and inside. Location was tricky but plenty of parking everywhere. We ordered a Caesar salad and two pizzas (one white and one red). The Caesar salad was great, however, little on the oily side. The white pizza was great. Good flavors from the cheeses. The margheritta pizza was alright but I've had better . The sauce was on the acidic side and the cheese was not tasty. Tasted old and not fresh. No way does it compare to traditional margarita pizza. Service was good. Pizza came quick and server was pleasant. One of the staff was off putting with unfriendly attitude. When I asked for a refill her face reacted like I had punched her in the gut. Overall, good place just be careful what you order. I would recommend if you're in the area but not a place to trek. We also had the chocolate cake and although I didn't take a picture, it just wasn't what I expected. read more

Disappointing. Not pizza as I know it, very little cheese. However the worst thing is that it was stone cold on delivery. Mushrooms: cold. Sausage: cold. Crust: cold.

I was genuinely excited to try this place--it's rare to find good pizza by the slice. I was in the area for an appointment and made a point to stop by. Unfortunately, the staff's behavior was shockingly rude. I arrived at 10:58 in the pouring rain, not realizing they opened at 11. That was fine--I was OK to wait 2 minutes. I didn't knock or try to come in early, just stood huddled in the doorway trying to stay dry. Though when I looked inside, an employee made eye contact with me and simply ignored me. Then, after a few minutes, I I heard the lock click--someone had unlocked the door, but didn't open it or say a word. When I stepped inside and asked this other employee if she's seen me, she just said "yeah" and walked away. Two people saw me and left me standing outside in the rain! I've worked in both retail and food service, so I fully understand the need for prep time before opening. That's why I didn't try to enter early. But showing a basic level of human kindness--like acknowledging someone standing in the rain two minutes before opening, or opening the door and welcoming someone inside from the rain--is just basic decency. I'd been craving a slice for a few days, looking forward to stopping by. But I won't support a business that treats people with such disregard and disrespect. read more

My opinion, best pizza in the region, and it's not close. I basically am addicted to it and I'm by for a couple slices at least weekly, and if I wasn't a runner I'd probably be 270 pounds by now. It doesn't travel super well so I can agree with some reviews on quality drop on delivery. So eat it there. On the quality of service, they always give me my pizza, so beyond that, have no real stories. If your primary driver is taste of sauce, texture of crust, quality of toppings, and feeling in stomach, this is the place. read more

Yum. Probably the best pizza I've had in the DMV. The crust is truly perfection. The cheese and toppings are just right. I was so glad I had leftovers to take home for lunch because I knew I'd be thinking about this pizza again the next day. I also got to try the wings. I was worried they wouldn't be crispy because they were cooked in the oven, but I was wrong. Definitely try it out for your appetizer. All in all a great experience. Service was quick and friendly. You may find that it's not so busy during the late afternoon/before dinner time. read more

First walking in the cashier was very nice and pleasant. She didn't rush us to order, nor did she rush the people in front of us. Truly enjoyed the atmosphere of the place, having historical news articles around, fun decorations, and some high and low top tables. The food came out very quickly and the server dropped off the food and napkins as well. They even took our plates and even our pizza plates, while even providing us a box to go for our leftovers. But let's get down to the major part, the food! The wings were amazing. Every bite was juicy and it was well cooked, with bits of char on it, but the hint of buffalo sauce stood out nicely. The Sicilian pizza was wonderful. It wasn't gimmicky, throwing a ton of toppings to cover anything up, but the meats were portioned well, the crust was thin, but thick enough to absorb the wonderful juices. The toppings were just wonderful as well. Definitely can't wait to come back to try another pizza. read more
