I had to stop a second and think: What is my major complaint with Doughboy's?. hmmmm. None. I love their pie. It's not a traditional fluffy crust type. It's a little heavier, but that matches their toppings. They have a 2 topping 12 incher that is 2 meals for me. It's 8 bucks, not too bad. The sausage is ground and they heap it on, m m m m yummy. They also have some great wings. EDIT: Well after sitting, waiting an hour and a half for my pie that I ordered via the website, I decided to call. It was great to get a bunch of attitude and hear how I didn't use the website correctly. I've only been ordering that way for months. Somehow it's my fault and did I check my bank account.? Really? The owner got on the phone and offered no help. He just kept saying "What do you want me to do?" I want food! He should have offered to take care of the situation instead of beating around the bush. For the owners ignorance and the girl who answered the phones attitude towards a good customer, you get 1 star. You will never see another dollar of mine.

The food is ok, nothing very special. It would be worth at least a three or four star rating if they were able to take orders consistently without mistakes and then acting like jerks about it. As it stands, I will avoid them, plenty of other mediocre pizza places around.

I'd like to give this 5 stars, but I've only ever gotten one thing from them: The Chicken Sandwich Combo. Its top notch! Its a large split chicken breast, hand-breaded and deep-fried. They put it on a 6 inch crusty hoagie bun with lettuce and tomato. Plus you get probably 12 oz. of curly fries and a huge cup of cheese sauce. All for $5.25. After tax and tip, its like $7.00. The delivery guys are always fast and friendly. I'd like to give a higher rating but I've never had anything but this combo, its just that awesome.

The buffalo chicken pizza.. I will sum it up with one word " unforgettable" My boss who is a picky eater.. loved it. Of course I had to share a few pieces and every person had the same reaction "this is pretty good pizza".

The Italian hoagie is the best you will EVER eat. They put a combination of mayo and dressing on it. It just melts in your mouth! Any new area that I go to I always try an Italian hoagie and no other hoagie comes close to Doughboy's Italian hoagie! The buffalo ranch fries are also the best fries I have ever tasted. I've tried buffalo fries from other places and they are laughable in comparison. This place is hands down a wicked delicious restaurant. One of the best pizza places.

Stopped in for a few slices after walking by with an empty stomach. They warmed up (not nearly enough) a few choice slices of cheese pizza, which were pleasant but forgettable. Doughier crust, which maybe was to be expected from the name.

One of our three favorite pizza places in Pittsburgh. Definitely have to give these guys a try if you haven't tried their pizza yet. Sometimes the weight can be a little long, but this is a good sign. It can be expected when you find a pizza shop that makes excellent pizza that is in demand.

Doughboy's is easily the best pizza place that delivers in the West End. I started ordering here just because of the glorious online ordering, and now they deliver to my place at least 3 times a week. The pizza is a little different than the norm. It's a little thicker, with lots of cheese and heavy toppings. However, aside from occasionally getting smothered in toppings, I have no complaints about the pizza. Bonus points for using real bacon. The sandwiches and wings here are also very good. Nothing particularly stands out, but nothing has ever been bad either. Honestly, my biggest beef is that they're closed on Sunday, AKA National Hangover Day, which is a crime against hungover humanity.

I'm gonna be brutly honest. The pizza is average and nothing special, the wings arell also average. I don't see the big hype in this place cause the pizza just taste like an average pizza place and I know my pizza.

Top notch Pizza and hoagies. Great white pizza! Try a juggernaut, you will love it! I have never had a bad meal. From steak salads to wings, and pizza to hoagies, I have never been disappointed.

The atmosphere was nice and they were there to please you. I didn't hear employee drama or goofing off. Quick friendly service and pizza that is good1 My friend ordered a hoagie and was told ten minutes AND ten minutes it was. Give it a try if your into pizza and hoagies. They also do single slices.

Ordered a large white pizza. No tomato. Added pepperoni, sausage, onion, bell pepper and extra cheese. I'm not a big sauce fan. The pizza was great. But the guy running the shop coulda been a bit nicer. Went to counter and heard what do you want. I've never been to this place and was kinda taken back. Maybe just a few manners and I coulda given it 5 stars. I would recomend

Hoagies are hands down THE BEST YOU WILL EVER EAT! My favorite is the Italian. No other pizza shop can touch doughboys hoagies. Would have given 5 stars but the pizza is a hit or miss and they don't have homemade ranch. I've had excellent dough and terribly hard dough as well. I stick with the hoagies at doughboys.

The following morning, after infiltrating the clan of pizza lovers at my place of work who worship Doughboy's and fight in its name, their deaths be damned, I was about to meet my own...with no other weapons than my fists! Blades were dodged, strikes were thrown, a small amount of blood was shed. "FOR DOUGHBOY'S!" they shouted into the shining frost. "FOR YELP!" I retorted. The battle stopped. "So, Darren. What is this Yelp?" one of my black-suited peers asked. "It's a reviews site and a social networking site." They dropped their swords, looked at each other, and began to listen to me. "I just wanted to promote Doughboy's. That's all. I am a warrior for quality. Doughboy's IS quality, right? The more business they get, the longer they'll be around...right?" "Y'know what, D, you have a point." "Besides, I just wanted to try them...once." "Well, we'll let you have some once more, but that's it. We can't have the mongrels getting in on this." "That's fine." "Ok, next time we're getting it with meatballs. You in?" "Of, of course!" And wouldn't you know the pizza would be better the second time around? Everything I said about the pie has been magnified by my return experience, especially by the dunes of ground chuck, egg, bread crumbs, and herbs. A flaky, ample-of- meat Italian Hoagie was also had along with scorching, plumpish chicken wings. "Y'know, man, if you want, you can do this with us regularly. You can hang with us," one of them told me casually, belly full. "Ahhh. But I must move on. There is more pizza to review, to conquer!." "You. Are an eater's eater. Darren." With that, they all bowed to me and I to them. Respect had been earned and was mutual.

I stopped by here a couple of nights ago to pick up a pizza with my fiance after it was recommended to me by a coworker. Said coworker explained to me that I could order online and I was impressed with the ease to place an online order. I ended up ordering a plain 18" XL inch cheese pizza to go which the website said would be ready for pickup in 30 minutes. I arrived at the restaurant just after the 30 minutes and was told that it would be another 2 minutes. It took 5 minutes which gave me some time to look around the place which seemed to be decorated with photos of the owner and his family. There were a ton of them and they kept me busy for almost the whole time that I was waiting. I also noticed that while I was waiting a customer came in to return his pizza and get a new one. While I couldn't hear what was being said I did notice that the bottom looked a little burnt and also heard the end of the conversation where the man was dissatisfied after the owner explained to him "that is how we do it here". After I arrived home with the pizza I eagerly dug into it. The first thing that I noticed was the more than ample amount of cheese on the pizza which also tasted very good. It helped to cover up the fact that the sauce was a little less viscous than I would have liked and lacked much flavor. Finally the crust had an odd chewy texture to it which while I did not dislike it, I did not actively like it either. Since the pizza was quite large we ended up with some leftovers and I think that I liked the pizza better cold as the crust had a different texture. The bottom line for me is that I would not line up to head back here in the future but I would be going along with someone else if they wanted to. My favorite part of the pizza was the cheese and how much was on it, now if they could only get a nicer crust and a thicker sauce.

We order from here once or twice a month (if not more) from work. Their pizza is always great, especially the CBR and so are the wings. The only down fall is the garlic parm wings. Unless you like a lot of parm on your wings, there is a bit too much for our taste....and smell. Overall though, it's two thumbs up! I had to add this update. Yesterday, I ordered a "small" Hawaiian calzone for lunch. Holy Cow! I wouldn't want to see a large one! Not complaining by any means, but it will feed a few. It was as big as the box, about 12" x 12" and yes, it was really tasty! I was definitely able to share with the guys. One thing about Doughboy's, you don't only get quality, but you get a lot of tasty quality for the money! :)

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
