Doughbird is one of the latest entries in Tucson's lineup of overpriced, below average and extremely bland food. The menu is basically personal sized pizzas that range from 16-27 dollars, fried chicken and tenders at about 15 dollars and a medley of deep fried appetizers you can find anywhere. My point is, Doughbird is extremely basic. You can find better pizza, at a better price and better portions a few blocks away. Rocco's, Upper Crust, Seriel Grillers offer bigger specialty pies for the same price. And Dave's Hot Chicken has a better chicken sandwich, and there you get 2 for 13 bucks. Not to mention Doughbird has long wait times, and a staff that is so lackluster. I think leadership needs to rethink their menu and figure out what makes them unique or worthy of paying these prices for this kind of food. read more

Oh my! We went there for lunch on a Sunday. My husband got the Italian hoagie, our friend got a pizza and I got the crispy chicken sandwich with crinkle cut fries. Everything was amazingly good. Fred, hot and delicious. We will definitely stop again when we are in the Tucson area. read more

It's always fun to try something new. With that being said...the pizza is minimal... if that. The Brussels salad was good. We ordered the margarita and artichoke pizza. The margarita pizza was bland. The artichoke pizza had flavor but nothing to write home about. My opinion is...when you purchase pizza, you should smell all the herbs and cheese. Both pizza smelled like the cardboard box they came in. NOT good. read more

Opened last week. Had a 25 minute wait, which is fine and accurate to what they estimated us. Only downfall to the wait, was 25% of their tables both inside and out were reserved and hadn't been used the whole 1.5 hours we were there. Seems like a waste of money for them to hold reserved tables for so long with a very full waitlist of hungry customers. Service was great. Best mozzarella sticks and marinara I've had in 10+ years. Pizza was delicious. The 1/2 chicken was delicious as well that I split with my husband. Mac n cheese side was too resembling of pasta-roni 4 cheese cork screw pasta I make for a buck at home. I'll certainly revisit and get the same foods, less the mac. Pina colada was fresh and tasted great. Just a tad small for the price. Good kids menu, as well as affordable pricing for the kids. Includes drink. Which I've noticed a lot of places started to not include in a kids meal price. Pizzas, burgers, chicken tenders, 1/4 chicken, burger, etc offered for kids. Very kid friendly establishment. Nice inside, clean bathrooms, attentive staff. read more

I've been to Doighbird twice now and have had a great experience both times. The chicken was delicious, and the sauces were yummy! I also really enjoyed the deep dish pizza. The service was great and j was really happy with the food. They were also very accommodating of me having a small child and all server walking by would wave and smile. I will be going back! read more

Don't be fooled by the five star reviews. This place is not worth the money at all. Super over priced. And the food was average at best . I was super disappointed! I came here for My bday dinner and let's just say, I was very bummed that I chose this place based on the reviews. I'm only giving two stars because our waitress was a super cool person and extremely nice to us. read more

Super tasty, and tough to choose (pizza or chicken). The full chicken meal reminded me of a turkey dinner - - complete!

Came here on Sunday late afternoon waited around 30 minutes before was seated even though there were a few tables empty. I ordered 3 pieces chicken tenders and my daughter ordered half chicken (roasted) and chicken noodle soup. My chicken was salty and the dip (lemon garlic) was also salty. My daughter's chicken was good but not for the price ($19.00 for half). Server (Jinny)was very good and attentive. read more

Good service, good food. Not just pizza and chicken like you might think. They have some other tasty choices as well.

We were a party of 6 and Ernie provided exceptional service all the way around. He led us through menu options - pizza, salad and chicken (both rotisserie and fingers) with ease! He kept all our drinks full (including swift deliveries from the bar!). The food was good but he made the overall experience great! Our only complaint was the seemingly constant "timer" going off in the kitchen. The beeping was a bit annoying. Ask for Ernie - you won't be disappointed! read more

The place is pricey. The food was fantastic and the environment is super cute. Our waitress was friendly and quick.

Our server was amazing, sweet and very attentive. She provided quick service and the food was delicious!!

Our server Courtney was awesome! Always attentive to us and checking up....when our food did not arrive in a timely manner (through no fault of Courtney's at all) management (sorry, I did not get her name) stepped up and not only brought us our food to our table but comped it as well. We were not expecting that, but are greatly appreciative for it...food was fantastic, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. read more

Made reservations on a Friday night for a party of 2 ..busy night as our waitress Alexander was extremely busy SARAH The hostess was OUTSTANDING she made sure we were greeted and brought us water and drinks as well as checking on us constantly.. The atmosphere!!... No words can explain! How calming and relaxing it is felt like we were on a cruise the friendliness of everyone and the smell of the fresh plants music is top notch what you would like to enjoy in such a cherish able moment... The food here is absolutely delicious highly highly recommended make sure to try out the LEBANESE HUMMUS! Trust me I'm not that much of a hummus lover but it was totally outstanding delicious the taste and the presentation.. I highly recommend this place even for just somewhere to have a relaxation chill night I ordered the spicy blackberry margarita MAX The bartender is incredible I asked for no spice on the next round and nonetheless I've never had a more amazing drink!! For anyone coming down to Tucson AZ and looking for a get away for dinner THIS IS YOUR PLACE COME HERE FIRST!!! read more

Five of us went for a late lunch. Not too busy, and we were pleasantly seated right away. Nice enough ambiance, clean, roomy .. if rather like an office cafeteria. The server was pleasant and got us drinks and took our orders quickly. One funny thing ... one of our party was mentioning that there was a Sun reflection coming right into his face from a car parked outside. The server suggested that she could do something about that and had the screens pulled down. She was very kind to offer this ... the only thing is that she pulled down 3 of the 4 shades, but not the one that would block the light from his face. We laughed it off, and the car eventually left - resolving the issue. So the food took a while to arrive, but I'm sure because they were short on help. The chicken sandwiches were impressive, which was with fresh chicken on big, fresh tolls, lots of lettuce ( enough for a salad). Fries were fine - salty. My wife and I wanted to split the 1/2 rotisserie chicken and Brussel sprouts. After 15-20 minutes, our server came back to say the sauce we ordered was not available, so we picked another one. When they brought out our dish, they said they were going to have to bring out the rest of or Brussels in a bit. There were only two Brussels that were so black! Five minutes later, they brought out a small bowl of blackened sprouts, mostly blackened loose leaves - inedible. Tried the lemon meringue pie - not good ... meringue was like sugary glue - not light nor airy. Filling was more like a key lime pie. All together, just another watering hole ... nothing special. read more

I'm giving this 5 stars because I love the choices on the menu. I have visited a few times and had excellent service. They are very accommodating when guest have food allergies (or food allergies "preferences" which translates to picky). On my favorite visit with a table of 4, I was able to sample various items from the happy hour menu including pizza, hummus, mac and cheese, wings, and more. Everything was yummy and the cocktails were wonderful. We left with full tummies and very happy taste buds. This establishment seems to have a menu that most people would enjoy. It has modern and attractive decor, an outdoor eating option and great service. read more

We loved our meal here and they were very accommodating to our family with three young kids. The food we ordered was delicious! We got the guacamole and pimento cheese as an appetizer. Both were pretty good. We chose The Copper pizza without prosciutto and they made the change easily. Most of all the hostesses and servers were extremely kind. We will back. read more

Food was great as always but service was poor. Very lo waits between waitress checking in. Otherwise would be a solid 4-star.

Food is yummy - but expensive. I got the salmon and it was all a small portion. Peppers and brussels sprouts are so yummy. Service is great and they are kind. Ambiance is chill, lots of tvs around the bar but that's slightly expected. I have gone back multiple times. read more

Yum! Dropped in Saturday night during the 4th of July weekend. Since it was a little busy we sat at the bar and Bri took excellent care of us. We couldn't decide what looked best so we opted for a little of everything with the plan to share. I got the chicken bolognese pasta which came with garlic bread, he got the chopped Italian salad and we put the Detroit style pepperoni and fresh mozzarella pizza between us to share. We each liked our choice so much we ate it all without so much as offering the other even a bite. While all were delicious, I have to say of all the main entrees the pizza was my favorite. The Detroit style crust had an incredible buttery flavor and a incredible crunch to the outside while still maintaining a soft interior. It was one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. It was so good I wished it would have been a little bigger. We finished it off with the butterscotch cake which was delivered to us by the manager Marlene who, when we complimented the food explained to us how everything thing there all the way down to the smallest thing like the salad dressings are made by scratch in house. You could tell she was really proud of the restaurant which says a lot. We will definitely b read more

Spot on service. We arrived for an early lunch and were seated quickly. I'm on a special diet (sigh) so only had the hummus with veggies. However it was some of the best hummus I've had. And they provided a generous portion of veggies. read more

First time trying Doughbirds! Was super excited because of all the good things I've heard. I was disappointed. The service was terrible. He threw our drink at us and walked away. After that we waited over 35 minutes for him to come back to our table so we could order but he never did. We decided to just leave as the only person of color inside the restaurant it was unfortunate to see everyone get service except for us. I will never go back! read more

Dined in for a last minute date night on Wednesday and had an amazing time. Our server Ernie elevated our experience by being attentive, welcoming, & extremely knowledgeable on the menu. If you go, ask for Ernie! read more

I had pizza. Good, butt nothing special. REstaurant was crowded but we snagged the last two seats at the bar. Nice red wine. Not great, but nice. I'll come back and try the chicken. read more

The food was terrible and very pricey. The service was slow but friendly. Will not return.

Visit was at lunch with my daughter. We split a salad and pizza and the pizza maybe had one piece of chicken per slice and the cilantro was mostly stem. The salad was deliciou. read more

I'm a real food critic and not so easy to please. Service was awesome, this little lady was the Best! Food took a while but was worth the wait. Maybe back off the Caesar dressing as our salads were swimming, suggest ordering on the side. Coming back the very next day to try your bird to go, best idea Ever! Perfect for our busy Sunday.....fast and easy can't wait to try it. You won't go wrong picking this place! Had our Sunday meal of Thankful plateful, it was perfection. Just like dinner at Grandmas house no lie we all loved it and when it comes to food that never happens! read more

The food was great and so was the service! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I feel like the portions are small for the price. read more

The food, drinks and service are wonderful. Recently dined with a gluten free friend and she said it was the best gluten free pizza she has ever had. Personally I love the truffle mushroom pizza with the Detroit or Chicago style crust. read more

Food was amazing, loved the atmosphere, attentive waiters, the only reason I'm giving three stars is due to the prices.

Doughbird is new to Tucson and we've been wanting to try it out. We had a birthday in the family and she picked this as her choice for the celebration lunch. The menu looked good - not overly large, but a good set of items for lunch including pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and larger entrees. They have a pretty extensive drink menu - we ordered a Miami vice, margarita, pina colada, and beer. The drinks were all very good ! For appetizers, we ordered the mozzarella sticks and brussel sprouts. For the main course, we ordered the Italian sandwich, wings, and pizza. Have to say the brussel sprouts were the best we've ever had ! A great mix of sweet and savory together ! All the main courses were excellent - everyone gave them a big "thumbs up". Lastly - we had the peanut butter brownie dessert - WOW - fantastic !! The service was great all through the meal ! All in all - loved the Doughbird and would definitely return !! read more

See all

We waited 45 mins for a table that was empty the entire time we were waiting (after they messed up our reservations). Pizza crusts was over cooked and fries were too salty. If you take away the annoyance of the table the food was only average. Many people have asked me what I've thought of this restaurant and tell them to go for the ambience not the food. read more

Overall the food was good. The only downside to my experience was the wait time. Took almost 50 minutes for my family and me to get our food. We went at a reasonable time and the restaurant wasn't too busy. When my food arrived I could tell it had be sitting out and not brought to the table fast enough. At the touch, my chicken tenders weren't warm enough. read more

Food was amazing and had good flavor, staff was very attentive and kind, was a little loud and crowded but we did arrive at rush hour.

We paid $50+ for grade school cafeteria quality food, honestly not worth the time or money. We gave our waiter a gift card in addition to a debit card and told him to run the gift card before the debit card, and instead he just split the check between the two. Would not recommend to anyone... read more

Doughbird - Chicago Style Pepperoni & Fresh Mozzarella and Chicken Strips - Comfort Food Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

At first I thought the concept of a chicken and pizza place was odd, but Doughbird was pretty good! We really enjoyed the Buffalo wings with house made ranch, and the shishito peppers with umami sauce were also super great. The umami sauce is really unique, it's kinda mushroomy. The chicken tenders were good too, and my friend enjoyed his Detroit style pizza. My only complaints are that the crispy Brussels sprouts that came with my chicken tenders were WAY too sweet to eat, and the gin & tonic just tasted like a plain gin & tonic, I wasn't getting any yuzu flavor or anything special. Overall I'd return and try a few more menu items, plus our server was great. read more

It's ok. Everything we ordered was very salty to us. If you love your salt than maybe this is a good fit for you. But not for us. I have to say that the dough is excellent! Other than that, the soup and our pizza a a whole were too salty. read more

Chicken tenders were nothing special tasted plain, fresh fries ov ersalted and small portion, napa coleslaw was average. Not worth the price. Great service. Pizza looked average not much sauce on it, dough looked good. read more

Wings were super dry, server didn't really show much concern her name is PM Bar E. She stopped talking to us when I mentioned the dry wings! She took plates and dropped off the check without a thank you! So what I have found is that it is hit or miss at the Doughbird! Gosh I miss Old Chicago! read more

Tucson... run, don't walk, to Doughbird. Everything you expect will be challenged. It has a Gatsby / 1920s/ Boutique vibe. Beautiful bar. Intimate but spacious dining room. Service is fantastic. The food is worth it. The Local Cocktail is the beverage for the gods. Highly recommend. Started with the Avocado salad that balanced the blue cheese with the candid bacon. I enjoyed the Prime Rib, and the broccolini side (my substitute) may have changed my life. Lemony and cheese all at once. My partner enjoyed the salmon with crispy Brussels sprouts. Yum! Finished with the Butterscotch Cake (crispy, with sweet cake, and a decadent gelato) and Lemon Meringue Pie (the custard is perfect with the warm berries). All in all, I cannot wait to come back. It was a fantastic dining experience. A special shout out to Marlene, one of their managers. She made our evening. Taking the time to welcome us and feel at home. She is a core reason we want to come back. read more
