THE GOOD ---------------- + Sensaaaaaationally delicious food ... and, more specifically, pizza!! ++++ Lacinato Kale and Roasted Squash Salad - Excellllent salad. Lots of kale, but was light and the combination of all of the ingredients were perfect. Red wine vinaigrette was perfect too, not too heavy. ++++ Shroom Pie, Pesto Chicken Pie - Absolutely phenomenal!!!! Some of the best pizza I've had in NJ! So much flavor in both pies. The pies were personal in size, 12", and perfect for 1 person. ++++ Kids Plain Pie - This 12" pie might have been the greatest kids pizza I've everrrrrr, eveerrrrrr had. There was so much flavor in the cheese and pie. It was tangy and the tomato sauce's flavor definitely hit me in allllll of the right spots! ++++ Kids Mac and Cheese - Verrrry, verrrry good as well. Cheese was gooey and it was topped with bread crumbs. It was served in a skillet and didn't come out piping hot, which we appreciated since it was for the kids. + Supppper spacious restaurant with LOTS of tables, including a bar with counter seats. + Waitress was personally friendly and quick. + Large private parking lot. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Sat for 15 minutes before we were tended to by someone while other tables that sat down after us were already getting their orders taken. Only downside to our experience here. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Make reservations on their website! The restaurant was extremely busy on the February Saturday evening that we went. We were here from 5:30-7:00 PM and it was bustling with many groups/families. CONCLUSION -------------------- read more

- Huge standalone restaurant with its own large private parking lot--absolutely necessary for the busy Saturday dinner crowd; definitely make a reservation, or you may be waiting a while for a table - The interior dining room is dimly lit and spacious, with a mix of standard tables, high-tops, and bar seating; tables are decently spaced, so it feels lively but not cramped - Service started off slow--we were seated promptly for our 5:30p reservation, but weren't greeted by our server until about 15 minutes later; meanwhile, a table seated after us had already placed their order before we even received water; once acknowledged, service improved, though it would have been nice to receive an apology for the initial delay - The food was exceptional--the pizzas (Shroom, Pesto Chicken, and Kids Plain) arrived hot and fresh, loaded with toppings, and featured light, chewy crusts; the Kids Mac & Cheese was ultra-creamy, cheesy, and comforting; the Lacinato Kale & Roasted Squash salad was light, fresh, and perfectly dressed--though it could have used a bit more butternut squash read more

Met up with friends for some wood-fired pizza, and this place was perfect for it! The restaurant feels like stepping into a beautiful log cabin--cozy and intimate for date nights, yet spacious enough for larger groups. They also have a full bar, craft beer and offer much more than just pizza, including vegan options, a great selection of appetizers, salads, handcrafted pastas, plus fish and steak dishes. The menu is really well done. We decided to share a few pizzas since the brick oven was calling our name: Margherita - fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil Pesto Chicken - wood-fired chicken, fresh basil, mozzarella, Fontina, and basil pesto Smokey the Pig - smoked mozzarella, baked prosciutto, field mushrooms, fresh garlic, and EVOO For dessert, we shared the coconut cake. It's plant-based, made with coconut milk and brown sugar, and topped with coconut flakes. The portion was easily enough for four people and absolutely delicious--super fresh and flavorful. Our server, Tara, was wonderful--so sweet and attentive. She checked in often, kept our drinks filled, and made sure we enjoyed everything from the food to dessert. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes! read more

Great woodfired pizza, happy hour wine prices are good. They have several pizzas that can accommodate vegans, along with seasonal specials. The restaurant has a very warm atmosphere and a beautifully decorated bar. A great place for brunch or meeting with friends if they all have different diets, especially vegan members of your party. read more

Ugh, what happened to this place!?! The new and huge location has ample parking and seating but, my has this place gone downhill. It certainly does not feel family run anymore. The entrance has a huge homage to the grand ole USA. I fought the urge to salute or place my hand over my heart. Not gonna lie, it's a bit bizarre but whatever. Service now is mediocre...staff rarely checks on the table and forgot about that second drink order. It ain't happening. The once grand zucchini chips are now bland and boring. Pizza is borderline horrible...unless you enjoy both burnt and undercooked pizza simultaneously...but I guess that does take some skill. read more

I've been to Dough's new location a few times now and I always get a good meal. The restaurant is nice and large and the bar area has ample seating. I've sat in the restaurant part and at the bar and both times have been lovely. We've always had very nice service and delicious drinks. They have a nice large menu of not only pizza but other options as well. The kid's menu has good kid-friendly options as well, so everyone leaves happy and full. Today I had a nice lunch with a friend and our kiddos. The kids each had different options - the kids pizza, penne vodka, and the meatballs. They were all a huge hit. The meatballs come with a side of bread, so my son made a meatball sandwich and devoured it. We also started with their wings. They were very accommodating and made it not too burnt or overly cooked as my daughter is very specific with her wings. She loved them. They aren't saucy wings, but had good spice to them. My friend and I split the caramelized onion pizza and it was just ok. It was lacking a bit of flavor. And with everything on it, you would think it would be so overwhelming with flavor. Unfortunately that wasn't that case. Everything else is pretty spot on, the dough is very dough-y as someone said, but that's what makes it so good. I love it with a little bit of crisp to it. I will definitely be back to visit Dough soon! read more

Dough is closeby and cozy! We came and sat at the bar to enjoy a few drinks and split some apps. We ended up ordering from the specials menu since it's seasonal and they sounded yummy! We got the Butternut Squash Crostini along with Mussels that are made in a local beer -- you get the option of an IPA or a lager. The bartender was very friendly and helpful as we had questions about the menu. read more

This place is down the street from Sandra's office so we will meet here after work. We love the outdoor seating as it's bright and inviting. The service is always fantastic and everyone is friendly and welcoming. We had the Smokey the pig pizza that was amazing. The smoke flavor and the mushrooms put it over the top. Definitely will be having this pie again. The wings were delicious also and with a cold beer who could ask for more. Date night for a very reasonable price. Enjoy read more

I am always on the hunt for a good brick oven pizza and yummy cocktails. This place is IT. The pizza was absolutely delicious, I wanted to lick the tray. The drink was amazing I wish the glass was filled to the top. We also had the steak sandwich $16 totally worth it! Big chunk of hanger steaks on a thick sourdough bread with a nice tangy cheese sauce, sautéed onions and arugula. Totally worth it!! read more

Went here for a girls' night out and it was the perfect place! The whole restaurant was decorated with a fall theme and it's so cozy. The service was top notch from the start and our waiter was such a great sport handling the amount of orders we had. I got their Pear Sour and it was so good! I'm usually picky about my Pisco Sours (as a Peruvian) and they impressed me! We got a couple salads for the table but the beet one takes the crown! Their pizzas were all great but I definitely recommend the Shroom one! read more

I dined here for the first time on Friday night and sat outside on the patio. We had heard great things about their pizza -- and it definitely lived up to the hype -- but we started with the zucchini crisps, and they were absolutely outrageous. Lightly fried and perfectly crisp, they came with an aioli that had just the right kick. Delicious! My son ordered the plain pizza, which came out perfectly cooked with a crisp crust -- simple and spot on. We also tried the featured pizza, a white pie topped with roasted red and yellow peppers. The combination of the multicolored peppers with the thin, crunchy crust was fantastic. My partner had the eggplant Parmesan pizza, and it was everything you'd hope for -- not too heavy, just the right amount of sauce, and the eggplant was perfectly cooked with great flavor in every bite. Special shoutout to Tara -- she was amazing! She recommended the drink of the day and the pizza of the day, and both were exactly what we were looking for. I'll definitely be recommending this spot to friends and plan to come back often. Fantastic job, fantastic night! read more

Came here as a party of 7 (5 adults, 2 kids) for dinner on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated by the wall and were started off with some homemade sourdough bread with butter. For apps, we ordered the beer mussels, marinated olives and zucchini crisps. The mussels were good but the beer smell was overpowering. For mains, I ordered the NY strip steak that came with mushrooms and asparagus. I ordered it medium but it was basically raw - the flavor was not great. The gravy that came with the strip was disgusting - ruined the flavor. My husband ordered the smokey pig pizza and my daughter got the vegalicious. The pizza was ok - nothing too crazy - asparagus was missing on the vegalicious. On a side note, there were flies everywhere by us - by the food, landing on the food and all over the wall. read more

Dough revisited. Our first time at the new location. The experience was night and day when compared to our 2 star visit at the old location 7 years ago. The atmosphere of the dining area is outstanding with an upscale rustic farmhouse vibe. Comfortable and spacious. They also have very nice outdoor seating complete with fire pits. We opened with chicken wings which were near perfection. Fire roasted, moist and flavorful. We also tried the Autumn toast points featuring Ricotta. butternut squash, garlic and pumpkin seeds. It was tasty, but I don't think we would order it again. We then ordered a couple salads. First, the arugula salad. It really should be called a spinach salad as it actually contains more spinach than arugula. I love spinach so it was fine bye me. Next was the Autumn featured salad. Shaved brussel sprouts, carrots, red onions, cilantro and mandarin oranges with a light maple dressing. It was light and fresh but more like a slaw than a traditional salad. For pizza we tried the chicken pesto pizza and the featured pizza which was fennel, salami, fresh mozzarella and sautéed onions. Both pies were good but nothing to write home about. The staff and service were on point. Very professional and attentive. In summary, we will definitely dine at Dough again but not necessarily for the pizza. read more

This place has been a favorite for years! It never gets old. I love their new outdoor area. Their Fairfield location is much nicer than the Caldwell location. It's a mix of rustic and modern! I've never had better zucchini chips better than here. The sauce is to DIE for! I could eat a whole basket of them to myself. I really enjoyed the creativeness of the burrata with pumpkin seeds. My staple go to pizza has become their margarita pie with pepperoni. The staff are super friendly! They balance great service with letting you enjoy your meal without super frequent interruptions. read more

My husband and I frequently come here. Good drinks and delicious pizza. Last night was no exception. The brown butter old fashioned was spot on delicious. My husband had the pear martini and enjoyed it, we finished off with a bottle of Pinot noir. We over order to have snacks for the weekend. For apps we had Brussel sprouts, meat board and olives (had we known the meat board came with olives we would not have ordered olives separately... but more of their yummy bread. Onto the pizza - 2 pizzas: 1 the dough- roni. With pepperoni, red onions and ricotta with mozzarella. Sooo good. 2 Margherita. The dough roni came out piping hot the Margherita was not so much. I alerted our server, the manager instantly came over with apologies and could not have been nicer. He offered to box up the cold pizza to take home to reheat and fired up another fresh one for us. For dessert we had the chocolate cake. Which was good. I wouldn't order it again. Overall great meal. read more

Friend read about this place which uses good ingredients and we ordered food for pick up for the first time. We did not know this place was that popular. I got there early and saw people kept walking in without reservation and the wait was too long so they just left. I walked around and the place looks hip. The pizza is a little pricey but they were good. My 5 year old kept saying it's so good and almost had 3 slices. They were definitely made from good ingredients and very different from your neighborhood pizzeria. You pay a little more but the food is definitely quality. Will go back and try other things but will be sure to make a reservation. read more

Passed this place a bunch of times. So I was hungry. So I said let's give it a try. Well was amazing. Staff from moment walked in very friendly. Warm welcome. Started off with the Fire Roasted Wings (10) flame-broiled all-natural chicken wings marinated in fresh herbs & spices + lemon & herb dipping sauce Dough-Roni Pie Olli Salumeria pepperoni + tomato sauce + ricotta + fresh mozzarella + red onions Lemon Ricotta Ravioli Hand-made Ravioli + summer squash + fresh mint + pistachios + lemon zest + parmesan cheese Got off track sorry. Has seating at bar and has outside patio. (Was just a little to hot out there today) Very clean and definitely swinging by again. It's right across street from Fairfield airport. Can't forget the wine cooler before seated. There had to be 25+ wines to choose from. read more

D'oh! Went here for the first time about a week ago for an early dinner, soon after opening. The pizza is OUTSTANDING. My partner got the mushroom pizza, adding sausage to it, and loved it. Something to know -- the base pizza may make a difference in whether and what kind of sauce you get, so definitely ask about that. If she'd ordered a sausage pizza and added mushrooms, it would've been a red sauce; the mushroom pizza is a white pizza and they added sausage to it. As for me, the closest thing to what I wanted was a margherita, but I asked for just a plain pizza. Even though it's not on the menu, they'll do it for you -- and again, this New Yorker thought the pizza was just delicious. The sauce, the cheese, and the thin crust. We each ate a personal size pizza individually which fills you up -- no room for dessert -- but I didn't feel like I was going to burst. Definitely plan to visit them again next time I'm in the Jerz! Thanks to our great server, Christina, too! read more

Delicious lunch! We started with drinks I had the Mediterranean Mule! Yum! Perfection the drinks are so good here! This is the second time I've had the zucchini crisps. So good! Love the spicy dip on the side it's just the right spice. We also had the Shroom pizza. Soooo good but two things I would recommend let the pizza settle a bit when served. Ours was so hot when my friend took a slice some of the topping slid off just because it was so hot. Literally we waited a minute or two and it was perfect also I would ask for a little extra truffle oil omg it's just sooo good! They also decorate so nice for the changing seasons. Love this place can't wait to go back! Oh and our server Cassandra was very good and attentive. read more

Very friendly service. Nice greeting and everyone asked how my meal was and a hello at every turn. I felt like I was in Utah. I started with the b/c wedge salad. It was very good but not cold. It tasted like it was sitting out for 30 minutes. Wedge salad should be COLD! I liked the MAGNIFYI Pilsner, nice chilled glass. The sausage pizza was very tasty, in-house made sausage. Except for the tacky fake flowers everywhere, the room was cozy. There is no need for those dust collectors hanging above your table. read more

This is more of a 3.75 review. Came to Dough for a work lunch. It's a huge restaurant with a bar and good food. They play music but luckily they don't blast music like a lot of other restaurants have We ordered the fried zucchini and risotto balls. Both were absolutely delicious but I definitely prefer the fried zucchini more because it's kind of like a chip! We ordered a bunch of pizzas that were brick oven style. The pizza is more like a personal pan size and I would order at least 2 pizzas if you're a part of 2 because the slices are tinier than expected. The only thing is that because the slices are so thin, they're a little flimsy and get a little wet as the pizza cools down. Other than that, the slices have good flavors. Staff is incredible and super attentive Would definitely come back again. read more

Sat at the bar for a few cocktails, and small bites. Had the tuna tartar and a Steak Sandwich, both were very good. The bartender was making fresh syrups in between helping customers, it was nice to see a restaurant using fresh, house made ingredients in their offerings. Will definitely be back to have a full meal soon. The decor inside was really nice too, very earthy. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! My husband and I love pizza and good drinks and Dough has both! I was pleasantly surprised to see they offer vegan cheese - one they purchase from Numu (local company and the best) and the other is a cashew cream that they make in house. The drinks are so good too. They even have vegan "baileys" as an option for their take on espresso martinis.never had one until I tried theirs. It is not normal for Northern NJ restaurants to have any or multiple vegan options. I truly love that they are willing to go above and beyond. read more

I always enjoy a good wood fired pizza from Dough. I am a fan of their margherita pizza. The pizza comes out tasting warm and fresh. For starters, their zucchini crisps are worth munching on, especially dipped in their smoked chili pepper sauce. The waiters are attentive and friendly. There are many seats available inside, but it can get busy so make sure to reserve ahead of time to avoid long wait times. After all, no one likes to be hangry over pizza. It's a casual sit down restaurant with plenty of parking. Check it out yourself! read more

Not enough stars for this place! A wonderful experience from the time you call for a reservation till the end of your meal! I called on a Saturday afternoon and got Shannon on the phone. She was helpful and suggested we make a reservation, even though we planned on dining early at 4:30. I am very glad that we took her advice because about 15 minutes into our meal a ton of people began to pour in.. The service is amazing always someone checking on you. The young men that were sweeping made sure to not leave one crumb on the floor. And always were there with fresh plates and napkins. The food was incredible. We had the seasonal salad, mussels with craft beer and pizza. We also ordered bread (which I don't think they should charge for when you order mussels but they charged an extra dollar. I did think that was tacky) the pizza is small we definitely could have eaten two. They have some great craft beer choices as well. We will definitely return ! Also their tribute to America when you walk in scores huge points with us. Great to see a business supporting our country! read more

On a slower Sunday we decided to finally try Dough. Nice casual clean environment with a friendly and prompt greeting from the hostess welcomed us. We opted for a high-top table near the bar. A fellow was strumming and singing the expected coffee house tunes. Although Dough was no at it's height patron-wise when we were seated, I can see how when crowded near the bar, the noise level could be amped up. But let's talk about the food. Salad was fresh, crisp, and properly prepared. Make sure you get one! white ricotta pizza came piping hot, well baked crisp crust, and totally enjoyable. We will be back, and I'll update as we get mor adventurous at Dough! read more

Went here for lunch and it was pretty good! The lunch special is a salad or soup and a personal 9" pizza. Pretty good deal. The salad is pretty large. The soup is kinda small but the pizza is filling. I got a latte after my pizza and that was delicious. Wouldn't expect a great latte from a pizza place but they did it! Waitress was great. She was sassy. Very nice place inside. Decor was cool. If I wasn't 2 hours away I'd be back. read more
