The manager at the dough bird on 44th street and Indian School road would not allow my service dog to drink water in her bowl! Which is a violation of ADA rules of discrimination! I would like anyone with a service dog to submit comments to the owners of Dough Bird about this discrimination! I went to 2 other Dough Bird in Phoenix and spoke to the managers of their establishments, they said they have never heard of this situation previously and always serve dogs water! read more

I LOVE Doughbird! This place continues to be a solid option for tasty versions of traditional dishes. I should have known--Sam Fox never disappoints! Rotisserie chicken, pizza, wings, chicken pot pie, and hummus all sound like basic dishes on paper, but mannnn are they all delicious and far from basic. You can taste the quality ingredients in each dish. My new favorite has to be the chicken pot pie! Hearty, savory, slightly sweet, and a buttery flaky crust. But, honestly you can't go wrong with any of the dishes! Service has never been a miss here. It's always been warm, helpful and friendly! The suggestions never miss, and you're always checked upon. There were maybe 2-3 instances where our pizza (wood-fired) took longer than usual. We actually didn't even notice or think that the pizza was taking long at all, but the staff was extremely apologetic and comped the pizza. Ambiance is casual-trendy, and airy! There's patio seating as well. The parking can get quite busy on the weekends. There's complimentary valet (also only on the weekends, I believe), but I dislike the pressure of tipping, so I just park to the side where parking isn't coned off. read more

Great consistent food! Superb salads, tasty rotisserie chicken and pizza and pasta done well! Love the penne in vodka sauce. Wish the chicken skin wasn't soggy, but it was still tasty!! That lemon meringue pie with blackberry sauce is dream worthy! The cocktails are great. Service was fine, it is a loud restaurant and we had to ask the waiter to repeat himself nearly everytime to hear him. I think he was getting his legs. 3rd time here and will definitely be back for a fourth time! read more

The service was horrible. It took two hours to get bread. And everyone at our table didn't get food. two people got food with hair and one of the hairs looked too similar to a pubic hair. this was honestly disgusting. the waitstaff was extremely rude and failed to do anything except refill FREE water. the manager waived our receipt and told us to get out. never go there. disgusting. horrible. disappointing. the worst. if i could give no stars i would. if i could give NEGATIVE stars i would. horrible. read more

We stopped here for lunch on Sunday. I have driven by the restaurant a number of times and had an opportunity to check it out because we had family in town. The restaurant was very clean and the service was outstanding. I did think it was a little on the pricey side. The pizzas had some interesting options. The dough was a little on the thin side but it was flavorful and cooked properly. Plenty of toppings on the pizza too. No complaints there. We did get a chicken and avocado salad and I definitely thought it was on the small side. It was very good but for the money the portion seemed to be small. I ordered a glass of iced tea and I really enjoyed it. It was a crisp refreshing beverage to go with my meal. Not sure I would make the drive all the way to Phoenix to go here again but they did a decent job overall.. read more

Came here because an MLB player's wife posted that this spot was at the top of her list during Spring Training. I understand why. Doughbird does everything right! Our table got a little taste of everything: drinks, salad, pizza, chicken and a load of sides! Their pizzas are a good size, but if you're hungry, you can definitely eat it all yourself! The chicken is tender and cooked to perfect. What I loved the most though were the sides. I couldn't choose just one so I got the mac and cheese and the mashed potatoes. Both were top notch deliciousness! Service was excellent. Attentive and caring. The ambiance was super chic and even on a Monday night, this place started to fill up! read more

From my last post the manager reached out, got me a full refund + a gift card. I'm so grateful for this awesome service and do plan on returning! read more

This is far from my first time at Doughbird, but tonight I brought my uncle and aunt who were visiting in town. As soon as they said they wouldn't be far from Phoenix, I knew we had to take them here! I had never made a reservation with them online, but it was very quick and easy on the site. We got there about 15-20 minutes before our reservation and we're more than willing to wait outside, but our host offered us a seat at the bar so we had a couple of drinks (you NEED to try the old fashioned even if you're not a whiskey fan- A+!). We were seated right at our reservation time and guided to our table by our host again! Unfortunately I didn't think to get their name, but they were very kind and patient with us. Our dinner was nothing short of spectacular as it has been the past 4 or 5 times we have visited. Our waitress Jenna was so knowledgeable and made our relatives feel so welcome and comfortable! Even though it was a busy Saturday night, all the food and drinks were perfectly plated and mixed; they never once sacrifice quality for quantity here. At the end of the night we stayed a little past closing but never once felt rushed out the door. Everybody said goodbye to us as we left including Jenna!! She thanked us for our patience but really she was the reason we had such a memorable family meal. We will be back of course with many more friends and family, but Doughbird has been a special place for us ever since we were lucky enough to find it. Thank you for everything! read more

Came here on a whim with my boyfriend d and we had a fantastic experience at DoughBird! We were in town for work and just happened to see it pop up on a restaurant list, so we decided to come in for lunch. Staff was amazing, the food was incredibly good (wayyyy beyond expectations) and the price was very reasonable. Vibe of the restaurant is very bright, airy and open and had great energy and music. Definitely recommend the Ranch Chicken Salad sandwich and the Copper Hat pizza. We will definitely be back! read more

This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants right now. I typically ordered the hummus, the aviator pizza, and the jalapeño cheddar cornbread. Every single time I've gone it's been absolutely amazing. It's beautiful on the inside. The service staff is great and this is a place that I recommend to anybody and everybody, whenever they're looking for something to eat read more

"WOW THEY HAVE AMAZING DOUGH!" PIZZA is absolutely delicious! The only complaint about my pizza was that the bacon was too dry and hard. The tough texture was hurting my pallet and because there was no cheese on top holding the ingredients together my bacon bits just fell all over the place. - Customer service was great - Pizza was so good! Can't wait to try their other topping combinations. - Guacamole was the worst I've ever had! - Bathrooms are clean - Ambiance is perfect for pizza. - Ranch is good! I would definitely come back but im never ordering their guacamole again or any bacon. read more

First time here and it's definitely a spot where I would return. When at a pizza place I'm always hoping to find a a white pizza with prosciutto, and it's mostly a miss. I was delighted that Doughbird had exactly what I was looking for. Also the shishito peppers appetizer is something totally different but it was super yummy. I'm Mexican and we love our spice with our dishes and having the shishito peppers really hit the spot. The server was pleasant and not overbearing. The inside bright and inviting. Good job guys! read more

We had visited their other location in Phx and thought we'd try this one, shouldn't have. Hostess says to us, how can I help you extremely rudely. Sit outside, second mistake, server acted like we were nonexistent. Drinks hardly refilled, food took forever. Menus are different, downtown location much better! read more

This most recent experience at Doughbird was far superior to our last. We sat at the bar and were greeted right away. We started with The Local and Old Fashioned. Both exceptional drinks. I would definitely recommend the local, I liked the fizz that the sparkling wine in this cocktail added. We split the Ingredient Salad with added rotisserie chicken and the hummus. The description for the Ingredient salad sounded great and it exceeded my expectations on flavor. The hummus and fresh bread were also exceptional. Since the kitchen is open I really enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching the preparation, food and drinks coming out, and inner workings of the kitchen. read more

What a strange, beautiful combination of tasty foods and drinks! It's like the perfect spot if your partner wants one direction and you want another. They have an eclectic mix of delicious salads and chicken dishes. We got the BBQ pizza and broccolini as well as the chicken pot pie. All of it was so good! Service was impeccable and the restaurant is super cute inside. Can't wait to come back. read more

This place is very different but so delicious! I don't really understand the concept of chicken and pizza but all of it is so good! Save room for dessert for sure! It does get busy and parking is a little scarce when it is. I've had to wait for seating a couple times but the service is great so that is to be expected. I always order the truffle cheese bread and add arugula to my pepperoni and mozzarella pizza! Salads fresh and yummy too! Like I said, very different menu overall than just a traditional pizza place but great food and atmosphere! read more

Cute Pizza Spot! Ordered the Mediterranean salad it was yummy!!! Also tried the Spicy Hawaiian Pizza and we were pleasantly surprised. Although we wish it didn't have the salt on crust. Truly recommend this place! Looking forward to our next visit to stop here ;) Thank you Fox restaurants for always offering a great time and great food :) read more

Came to Doughbird finally after driving by it so many times and I'm so glad we did as we've found another pizza spot to add to our list! We made a reservation and highly recommend doing so because it does get pretty busy for a Friday night. Our server was wonderful they were super welcoming and friendly and since it was our first time they explained how the pizza was made and some details about a few dishes on the menu. We started off with 2 mocktails the Blackberry Rickey and the Southern Peach Tea. Both were very tasty and refreshing! To eat we had the Margherita pizza and The Aviator pizza which were both delicious! They had the right amount of cheese and toppings in every slice. The overall vibe of the restaurant was very nice with lots of space and comforting decor. We'll definitely be back again! read more

Came here on a recommendation. Nice place with outdoor seating. The staff was super friendly and prompt. I came in on a Friday lunch and the place started to get crowded pretty quickly. I did see they had valet but I didn't have to use it. Now the food..I'm a sucker for all things pot pies but theirs lacked flavor and especially salt. The crust was nice and somewhat sweet. Their chicken wings were good they had a lot of tangy buffalo sauce which was good and not so good. The tang sort of upset my stomach. Would I go back, yes, likely to try their rotisserie chicken. read more

Stopped in for lunch over the weekend. Bright open airy restaurant. Our server was very friendly and welcomed us as it was our first time dining with them.

My chicken and avocado salad had good flavor. Will definitely be back to try other things from the menu. read more

We were in town to see our daughter for her birthday. She wanted to come here. She had made reservations for 7:45. We got there a little early and were seated on time. The place was busy. It was Saturday night. They have bar seating, booths, and tables. The decor is industrial, with metal chairs and beams with visible ducting in the vaulted ceiling. There is outdoor seating but it was chilly night. It has a hip casual vibe. As seems to be the case at most restaurants post COVID, it took a few minutes for the young male server to get to us. He was nice, polite, and accommodating, and did a good job. My wife and daughter had the seared salmon; our son and I had pizza. I had sausage and mushroom and he had another kind that has slipped my mind. My wife had broccoli and sweet potatoes for sides. Our kids liked their choices. My wife liked her salmon but the charred sweet potatoes had a bitterness to them such that she didn't finish them. I love pizza, but did not enjoy mine like I had hoped. I think I may have a gluten allergy so I ordered the gluten free crust. Unsurprisingly, it lacked flavor, but it was also soggy. I like my pizza crust crispy. I didn't taste the smoked mozzarella. Clearly, Doughbird is a happening place in a hip part of town. Lots of young people as well as older folks like myself (mid sixties). We might return to try something different, but only if our kids wanted to come again. read more

This place is a gem! Sat at the bar and was treated to an unexpected view of skilled chef's focused on their craft. Every plate prepared was special to them and they worked as a smooth operating team. Our server, Justin made recommendations and every single one of them was exactly as he described! Try the BBQ Chicken Salad, Copper Hat Pizza, Crispy Chicken Parm and the peanut butter brookie. You will not be disappointed! Also, because of the seamless team work I was witnessing I had to know who was behind it all...HEATHER, what a fine job you do keeping the flow moving. We were so impressed. We'll be returning many times! read more

Came in for a late lunch. It wasn't too busy. They were able to accommodate 8 of us right away, which was great since we were all very hungry. The place was nice, clean and comfortable. Sadly the service was a bit delayed. Took a while to get our drinks, take out order and 30-45 min for our food. Service was good. She had a smile on her face and kept our glasses full so not sure why our food took so long. It was never address either which was odd. The food was very delicious. I have to say the black mushroom truffle was my fav out of the 3. We also had the chopped salad, very good. We'd try it again. Maybe the kitchen was a little short staffed. read more

Doughbird: Where wood-fired pizzas and free-range rotisserie chicken co-exist in a tantalizing delicious space. My friend Charlie C. had been going on and on about this place for the longest time. I wish I listened to him earlier because what a delightful lunch we had enjoyed together! Buffalo Chicken Wings $14, Cast Iron Shishito Peppers $11, The Aviator (pepperoni, Italian sausage, Nueske's bacon, organic tomato sauce, mozzarella) $19, and The Wild Mushroom (black truffle, swiss chard, smoked mozzarella, fontina, rosemary) $17 were ordered. Was it a lot of food? Yes! But no regrets because really, I wanted to try everything and everything did NOT disappoint! I'm especially enamored by their buffalo chicken wings and The Wild Mushroom pizza! 4.5 stars easily but I'm rounding up. I'm glad I don't live closer or else I'd be a doughgirl after eating Doughbird like all the time.

I went to Doughbird for a weekday dinner. I got half mushroom pizza and half sweet potato. I liked the wild mushroom pizza more than the sweet potato side. However, I would say the food is good but nothing to rave about. The ambiance overall was really nice. It was pretty packed for a weekday, however the service was still pretty quick. We also tried the summer sangria which was delightfully refreshing. read more

Delicious dinner, including GF pizza & salad. Excellent selection of cocktails, wine, beer. Loud but fun place.

My now 26 year old son and I have been coming here almost since its inception in 2017. He was a freshman in college at U of A when we first started coming here. Every trip to visit me in Phoenix we would make a Meca to Doughbird. This was his favorite restaurant. That's saying a lot as he grew up in Chicago proper and Manhattan. Fast forward to this evening... My son is now 26 and lives in South Florida. He is visiting but was determined to go to Doughbird while he was visiting. The first thing we noticed was how empty it was at 6 PM. Usually prime time for people here in the Valley. A second thing we noticed was the menu had changed significantly. Their "bread and butter"or shall I say pizza and chicken cornerstones which they were known for is no longer the focal point or featured on the menu. In the past, you could order a quarter, half or a full chicken and it came with your choice of sides as well as different dipping sauces. That was the novelty of it. They have since added items like prime rib and other items that make absolutely no sense, since the restaurant was founded on chicken and pizza and why is named Doughbird! The rotisserie chicken is now only a single entrée served with mashed potatoes and broccoli. You don't get to select your sides, although the waitress was kind enough to let us substitute his once favorite mac & cheese for the mashed potatoes. There were three of us and we shared a pepperoni pizza for an appetizer. As I mentioned growing up in Chicago and Manhattan, my son is a Pizza aficionado. The pizza was tasteless and the crust soggy. We didn't have much time to enjoy our pizza when our entrées arrived. The chicken looked like it had been cooked in the rotisserie stored in a refrigerator and then reheated. Very dry. We have had better luck with Costco chickens. The broccoli was limp and the mac & cheese had barely any cheese and more mac. Not the way it used to be. Our other guest had the prime rib and he did comment that it was very good so we will give that high marks. The Service was average, but I for one will not be returning. What used to be a unique concept when Fox owned it has now turned into a below grade Cheesecake Factory with a much more abbreviated menu. Oh funny since Fox sold it to Cheesecake Factory . When we asked our server why the menu changed 6 months ago from a primarily rotisserie chicken and pizza place was that "customers got very confused with too many choices with regard to the rotisserie chicken sizes, sides and the side sauces" . I've worked in the industry myself, and I think it has nothing to do with too many choices, (least we forget that this is owned by cheesecake factory, who happens to have the most items on any menu, probably in the world) but everything to do with cutting food costs and resting on the former name and positive following. It's not surprising that the folks who most recently reviewed Doughbird came here for the first time. Most were fairly positive, but not all. I only wished they could have come here when it was in its prime without the prime rib. Doughbird, please get your act together! What a shame... read more

Finally made it to doughbird on a Friday night around 7. Parking right out front. The hostess was so kind and sat us down right away. Very upscale farm house vibes.

Excited to come back and try the prosciutto! read more

SO GOOD! I wish I came here every week when I lived in PHX. I had this a few years ago and could not stop thinking about the Margherita pizza and cheese bread. Finally, I was able to bring my boyfriend here to try it years later. The bartender was actually our server and he was terrific! I didn't get his name but he had glasses and wavy longer dark hair. He answered any questions we had and was attentive. We ordered the Margherita pizza, a half-bird, with sides of broccoli and mac and cheese. The sauces we got were lemon, roasted garlic, and jalapeno pesto. This was also delicious microwaved as a midnight meal after the bars later that night. The pizza was warm and chewy and so good. The half bird - should have gotten a full bird. The meat was so tender and juicy and perfectly seasoned. I carved the meat off first so that I could eat it all at once and not have to stop and cut more, it is that good. The Sauces - AMAZING! The jalapeno pesto and lemon garlic sauce go with everything. I wish I could take these home. Or if they sold these. The mac and cheese - this is the cheese that you can tell is real cheese, not the canned stuff. UGH, so good, warm, and cheesy, what more could you want. The Local - this is the perfect AZ summer drink - it is light and refreshing! A great pool drink. I am jealous of all the people that can enjoy this restaurant regularly. I would also totally order their Thanksgiving bird meal instead of cooking each year. I can't wait to come back to AZ and have this again. read more
