Enjoy Lena's Authentic Italian Cuisine  - in Big Ways - with Friends and Family from the Comfort of Your Own Home

Lena’s Wood-Fired Pizza & Tap, located in the Rosemount area of Alexandria, Virginia at 401 E. Braddock Road, is pleased to announce the debut of its Family Dinner menu offering beginning on Monday, January 18th. Fans of the newly opened Alexandria eatery can enjoy Lena’s freshly made pastas, salads and hearty Italian dishes, from the comfort of their own home. Perfect for family gatherings, ‘big’ dinners for a large group, or for large Super Bowl parties, this is much more than taking Lena’s ‘to-go’ - each entrée ordered is portioned for two diners, but the menu selections can be easily increased to feed as many guests as needed. All orders include house-made focaccia, as well as a choice of salad and dessert, with prices starting from $18 to $24 (for two.)

Lena's Family Dinners are available any day of the week, for lunch or dinner enjoyment, and pricing is based on the entrée selection (beverages and tax not included) for every two guests in the party. Lena's signature 10-inch and 14-inch pizzas may also be added to any order; regular menu pricing applies. Orders for two to 12 guests may be placed at anytime for same day pick-up, while orders for parties of 13 to 24 guests must be placed at least three hours in advance. To feed 26 or more guests, at least 24 hours’ advance notice is required. Orders must be placed by calling (703) 683-5330(703) 683-5330, and the menu can be viewed online at Lenaswoodfire.com.
