Stratovolcanoes do have lava flows. Otherwise, it would be a cinder cone.

From CVO Glossary:
Some of the Earth's grandest mountains are composite volcanoes -- sometimes called stratovolcanoes. They are typically steep-sided, symmetrical cones of large dimension built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs and may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases.

Well, yes, they do have some. But, they are known for their explosivity. The lava flows do not travel near as far either.
