Del Ray burger joint Holy Cow’s (2312 Mount Vernon Ave) “burgers of the moment” have spotlit local controversies or elected leaders, but this month’s burger is a melancholy memorial to the recent closure of Atlantis Restaurant and Pizzeria.
The Atlantis burger features Angus beef and feta cheese with pickled onion, lettuce, tomato, and tzatziki on a brioche bun. The sandwich is $8.95.
The closure was of Atlantis Restaurant and Pizzeria was announced earlier this month and the restaurant closed this weekend after nearly 30 years in Alexandria. The pizza eatery was a local establishment and several Alexandria figures and outlets mourned its loss.
We are sorry to report such sad news this morning. We spoke with Atlantis Pizzeria and Family Restaurant owner Bill Patrianakos this morning and it is true. The iconic family restaurant will shut its doors for good on January 24.https://t.co/mVQo1jLYUV pic.twitter.com/C2F3yxvJUI
