I didn't have a high expectation, but mushroom vegan calzone was surprisingly delicious. Add a star on that! I will give them five stars if they just wrap their calzones in aluminum foil and offer absolutely minimum packaging. I don't like to get any trash after ordering takeouts - so-called "compostables" ' toxicity to human health and soil is now documented in studies) or pizza boxes laced with BPA. The problem with food packaging is the same across the spectrum, not just this place. We'd like to see NYS to fully allow BYOC (bring your own containers) as they are done in California and other countries, and also provide incentives, support, subsidies and infrastructure for locally owned and operated DRS (deposit return system). Just so wary of ending up with trash whenever I eat out. read more

I was really looking forward to trying DP Dough, but my experience was awful. The delivery took over two hours, and when I called to ask about it, the same guy kept answering. I'm from Ireland, and he mocked my accent, accused me of being drunk, and even said I was using a fake number because it starts with +353. When my American friend called, he was suddenly much more helpful and even offered to send her a photo of where my food had been left. When I finally found it, the food was cold and stale. He realised he'd made a mistake and texted my friend afterwards, but the whole experience was really upsetting. I've never been accused of being drunk just because of my accent. I wouldn't recommend this place, especially if you're not American. I also have recordings from the interaction but Ive decided to withhold the persons identities it hopes that he will see this and change his attitude. read more

I was really hungry and ate my DP dough before taking a picture. I'm sorry it's open late like really late comparatively to any other place in the area 4 AM you know service is going to self. Serve the guy on the counter and they have the kiosk it's very easy and a lot of people just order and pick up. It looks like a typical fast food, sporty place we got a chalkboard we could buy propane things and some offensive things which I just like to cross it out like if I see something really like offensive on the chalkboard I'm just gonna like make a face over it, but I got the Roni zoni. I don't know. It's the one with pepperoni. It was tasty. Got the marinara and the garlic sauce Yum Yum cheesy crispy delicious what's the complain about? I could see this is like great drunk food. I recommend it if you're drunk, especially. I thought, was not drunk. read more

Genuinely can't remember if DP Dough was around when I was a student but I never had it if so. I have had calzones from other college locations but this would have been nearly a decade ago and I don't remember if I liked it or not. I got the bbq chicken zone for around $11. It was a decent size for the price and was fairly filling. It just tasted like it was cooked ages ago and reheated poorly (which is probably accurate realistically). It was definitely mostly bread (not fillings) and what was inside didn't seem high quality. It's a late night spot in a college town so I didn't expect much. And they are open until 4 which is pretty clutch. I'd probably rather grab something from 7-11 for cheaper though. Wouldn't return unless desperate. read more

DP Dough is your quintessential spot for college students to gather around midnight after frat parties and drunken escapades. Now, for a place like this, I didn't set my expectations too high - but come on, the food was absolutely tasteless and bland. It was like eating a puff of air wrapped in dough. I was super disappointed, especially since this was the first calzone I'd ever tried (a moment that should've been magical, right?). Since then, I've never had a craving for calzones again. I don't remember which one I got, but it was bad, and it didn't seem all that fresh either (what did I expect?). If you're looking for a place to grab a late-night bite, I'd recommend steering clear of DP Dough unless you enjoy flavorless food that can kill your cravings for calzones forever. It's a midnight hangout where the only thing with less flavor than the food is the conversation of your intoxicated friends. Save yourself the disappointment and find a place that understands the basic concept of seasoning. Come here if you desperately need food but then again, that's inexcusable considering 7-Eleven is right across the street. read more

I wasn't worried about the bad reviews and you shouldn't either. Any and everyone expectation I had was met. Great menu options, clean, friendly staff and milkshakes in the winter! This place is an absolute must but mind the hours since they do cater to the location (college town). I chose the make your own calzone. It was ready quickly and served very hot in it's own little cardboard box. The dough was perfectly cooked and the ingredients were fresh. There are no fountain drinks but a large selection of bottled drinks is found in a cooler behind the counter. The milkshake....wonderful. I had chocolate but one of the employees said I had to try the banana on my next visit. When in downtown, DP Dough is a must try. Might be busier at bar closing time but on a Thursday at 2pm you will be the only one in the place. read more

We used to order quite a bit from DP Dough. I don't know what happened. They used to be prompt and dependable. 2/5 of past orders were late and missing items. I placed an order last week. It came 2h and 20m after I ordered it, way after it should've been here (used to take 30-45m). I took the late order back to the restaurant and contacted dP dough through their company "contact us" link to ask for a refund of the $50+ order that came over 2 hrs late and no response. I reached out over this issue 4 times and no response. Shame on you DP Dough, you are letting your company go to shit and you owe me money. I will not order from DP Dough again and I encourage others to avoid DP Dough. read more

this shit was so incredibly ass. i got the CBR and it was so shit. i honestly can't believe my friend got the cheese zone that shit looked the assest read more

Very disappointed how these came out. Taste is ok, but not really tossed in the sauce at all. I suppose I can't really argue with the only restaurant open at 3am read more

D P Dough - pepperoni calzone - Italian Near Me - Ithaca, New York

This is not bad food if you're drunk, but it sure ain't good if you're sober. The main problem is that the calzones are severely lacking in flavor. They desperately need some salt. And would it kill you to heat up the marinara sauce? Has anyone in the history of calzones ever said "Please heat up my calzone. I'd like to dip it in some ice cold sauce?" Finally, late night delivery is very inconsistent and can sometimes literally take hours. read more

Visiting town for a 1 week course and have been trying food all around town. This spot was a great surprise given the mixed reviews. I got the reg tater tots and spinner cheesy bread. It pretty dead in town so I got my food in ~10 minutes. Lady at the counter was nice. And the amount of food I got for like 13 bucks fed my gf and I. For quick casual dining I'd definitely hit this place back up. read more

I traveled almost one hour to get to this place because my fiancé was raving about it and was sooo upset when he found out they closed the Amherst location (we live in MA). He had such fond memories of drunken calzone calls at 1am, apparently, lol. So. I broke my diet and we went. Let me tell you- it was HANDS DOWN the best calzone in my life. Ps... my parents owned a pizza restaurant (so shhh...don't tell them I said DP Dough had the best). Anyway, we paid about $10 for a huge, super crusty and over stuffed calzone. Amazing. It's probably best they got rid of the Amherst location because I would probably weigh 300 lbs. I had to take a star off because the lady behind the counter just had this look like she hated life. No customer service. No smile. Nothing. Also, we loved it so much we went back two days later. An hour we traveled only to find a sign of the door that read "back in 10-15 mins". Sooo we waited about a half hour when he finally showed up. My second calzone wasn't made right and also had much less filling. All in all I would definitely be back! It's just too bad that customer care is lacking read more

They took my pizza away and called me a f*ggot. From this experience I don't recommend DP Dough

Needed a late night meal due to how late we got in with our drive. We ordered online, once we arrived the restaurant had nobody there to help me. I could of grabbed any number of orders off their station. Very college food, the calzone was good but small. read more

There was a mistake on our bill. They were very nice and made an adjustment. Food is very good. This our 2nd visit in three days.

Good warm chocolate chip cookies!! Kinda cold sometimes, though. Every bite is a surprise.

Delicious late night food. One night their applepay didn't work and I didn't have a credit card but they made my food and I just came back and paid later. So nice! Highly recommend their cheesy sticks!! read more

Been getting food here late night for a long time. It just seem the service has been going down hill a bit. I know things can get hectic when the bars near by close for the night. When I order food I choose to change out the sauce for my zone, which costs extra. I get food here at least once a week. The last four visits I have not been getting the sauce I ask for, sometimes non at all. It's not much, I know, but it is annoying. I don't want to have to start checking my food as soon as I get it from the people working behind the counter. This is my only grievance. Other than that the food here is great. Large selection to choose from ,so never get bored of trying something new. read more

I ordered via phone at 7:10pm. Was told to pick up in 20min. I arrived around 7:35pm and was told can't find my order in the system although the person who picked up the phone remembered my order. Then we agreed that I re order and come back in 10min. I came at 8:10pm. Still not ready. If you don't mind the wait, you should try it. read more

Hole in the wall calzone joint that was pretty good! Talk about a pleasant surprise! My friend and I each got a "Drop Zone" calzone. It comes with chicken, two types of cheese, and pepperoni. Both of them cost about $9, so it was a good deal. I liked the fact that the calzone was pretty big and the cheese was pretty good. But the chicken was pretty raw, and that was a bit of a letdown to an otherwise good calzone. The late hours are really great, because it is convenient for the college kids. Plus you can write on the walls in chalk! A cute hole-in-the-wall with extra flair for extra fun! read more

BBQ Steak Zone! Excellent marinara sauce! They are quick, accurate, and accommodating to special requests. A bit greasy, not something to be had every day, but great as a treat on occasion! read more

Was hungry for a light snack, and this place caught my eye as I was walking through college town. Ordered the cheese stix, loved them! Will definitely visit again read more

I worked there for one day and it was absolutely the most disgusting place I've worked at! They have delivery drivers cooking the food smoking cigarettes, delivering food coming back and touching your food without washing their hands. Also the nasty teenagers that they got delivering the food do the dishes as well. read more

My second Calios location. Huge fan of the concept and it is great late night drunk food. The loaded tots are great and my favorite calzone is a tie between the potato and black and Bleu. Sadly, a bit overpriced. I know Ithaca is influenced more directly by the NYC market, but it is weird for me to get the same exact order from Henrietta and Ithaca and see a difference of 10-15 dollars. Kind of a mind blow. But, they were fast, food was good and hot, and I will probably continue to frequent there when visiting Cornell. read more

This was a must-do at my 10-year college reunion and D.P. Dough is as good as I remember. Reenacting our college practice, we called to order in the wee morning hours after drinking away the night in the Arts Quad. The girl on the phone advised me to put some barbecue sauce into my Construction Zone (steak, mushroom, cheese!) and I did so, however haphazardly instructing her to pour as much as possible due to inebriation. Despite the gallon of BBQ sauce injected into my calzone, it was still delicious. The delivery guy and I spent a bit of time debating the best pickup spot for Balch Hall. Apparently he thought it was by the dumpsters while I assumed out front. Next time, listen to the driver. read more

Great for late night cravings, feels like theyre are always open. Great deal for price, Id recommend the spinner zone or brozone

I came down to ithaca for work and was looking for a place to eat. I didnt want to pay an extra 6$ to have food ordered and i kinda was interested in a calzone, whoch lead me to this place. Ordered a regular ole pepperoni calzone(since im a picky eater) and asked about the cheese mix(bc im also not a big cheese fan). The calzone came out delicious and i enjoyed it, if there was something lacking it would have been flavor to the crust but otherwise it was a good eat. read more

Best thing about this place is that it's one of the few places open in collegetown until 4am, so it's a good place to satisfy those late night munchies. However -- the calzones are a bit doughy so some bites are completely lacking in filling. Which is passable, because honestly, I love my carb/meat/cheese combination foods. But the one time I ordered their mozzarella sticks turned me from a fan to a reluctant only-if-dying-for-calzones customer. Their mozzarella sticks might as well be straight from the freezer, barely heated up for 30 seconds, and then tossed in a box -- and it's 8 (or so) sad little sticks for the same cost of a calzone. Somehow, the mozzarella sticks across the street at 7/11 are better (don't knock it 'til you try it). The mozzarella sticks in the frozen section at Wegman's are DEFINITELY better. TL;DR: get DP Dough if it's open, do not, under any circumstances, get the mozz sticks. read more

When I attended Ithaca College years ago, this was one of my favorite late night foods to order. I was excited to have it again! My friend and I ordered the Roni Zoni and the Spinner. However, instead of marinara sauce on the side, we each were given a big old cup of Russian dressing. Is this what you do now?? It doesn't go. read more

Literally a 40 minute wait while I was there by myself. I've only used Yelp 4 times in ten years but this was sobad I redownloaded the app to tell people. Don't come here unless you want to deal with two brain dead stoners who can't make a mediocre calzone in less than an hour. read more

DP Dough serves up a wide assortment of calzones. The dough and sauce are both mediocre, but I suppose the creative topping combos sort of make up for that. Open super late, and probably best eaten after a night out. read more

We went here to get a calzone BUT if you are not a regular that they know, be ready to have them serve regulars before new customers and wait 30-40 minutes for a poor attempt at a calzone! Calzone: Crust very thin and over done dried out! Cheese or what they call cheese was a poor quality Side sauce was the only halfway decent not good but decent taste! Staff are friendly but to make new customers wait over regular ones is unacceptable! I will never return as well as never visit another one of their stores!!! People we have to say no to poor service and subpar food! They need us, not the other way around!!! read more

Amazing service! It came wayyyy early and the food was fresh and hot and DELICIOUS. My friend and I took a risk by trying to order things we wouldn't normally get, but it was one of the best decisions I've made in a while. read more

Ordered the Oreos and they were cold and no icing with it (which is supposed to come with ) and i waited so long. Just not good and very cold. read more

Tucked in a potentially sketch corner off of Green St near the Commons, you wouldn't think much of this take out calzone joint until you realize its almost 3am and nothing else is really open. However, they make a huge variety of calzones and are open late each day, perfect for the drunk and starving college crowd. Large selection of calzones that vary from American style to the more traditional Italian stuff. Take a look on their website for the entire menu, most pack a bunch of artery clogging ingredients but if you're eating pizza to begin with, that's already a given. They also offer wings, chicken tenders, and breadsticks. My "Oh Zone" calzone was similar to that of a Philly cheese steak but with mozzarella cheese used instead, actually more akin to a Stromboli in terms of ingredients, but it was fresh out of the oven and pretty tasty, although the marinara sauce included could be a bit overwhelming. For around $7 total a pop, this place is definitely on my to try again places especially since their open late and have plenty of variety. There's only two small tables inside and one outside for seating so don't plan on sticking around. On a random note, when I walked in the other night there was already a "Yelp Loves Us" sticker on their window although on Yelp there's a grand total of only six reviews at the time I'm writing this. Yelp's been skimping out on their criteria eh? read more

I ordered a 20oz Sprite and they gave me this very sketchy half drank, open Canada Dry....very odd. But other than that the food was great and delivered on time! read more

I decided to try this place after they sent out an ad announcing $6 calzones. The calzone was not as good as Calios in Collegetown. I can see how this would taste good after a late drunken night, but its pretty mediocre otherwise. read more

Ordered 2 calzones. They gave us 1/2 the order correctly. Unfortunately lots of hair inside that one. Definitely won't be back and won't recommend to anyone that asks. read more

It has a good cost-benefit. There is a big variety of calzones, a good quality and a fair price. read more
