The concept here is build your own donut for $1.40. You start off with a plain cake donut, fresh from the fryer, and you choose your toppings. Since they're made to order, it takes a while to get your donuts. On the other hand, they taste so fresh! My husband and I ordered three donuts when we stopped in and our donuts were still warm. I'm usually not a fan of cake donuts, but when they're warm, slightly crunchy to the bite, yet soft in the middle, I can definitely learn to like them. The toppings take them to the next level. It's nice to get to pick exactly what you want on your donut. I would definitely come back, but only to order a single donut whenever I'm craving a donut for dessert. I imagine ordering a dozen would take them quite some time to make and could get a little expensive. read more

When you walk into Duck Donuts it is pretty overwhelming if it's your first time there. There's not really good signage on what to do and where to go. And there isn't a employee at the door to greet you and show you the ropes. Since Duck Donuts is not your typical donut place where the donuts are already pre-made and on display, I would highly suggest they have an employee by the door to show people how to order. I love the concept of being able to create your own donuts, I don't know of any other donut shop around the city that is like that. When you get your donuts you can't always tell which donut is which. I wish there was a way they could label each donut so you know what's what, maybe using a little flag they could label each donut. Also, because the donuts are served warm half of the toppings seem to melt right off before you get a chance to eat it. So you end up having to scrape the box to get half of your toppings. Aside from those issues (which could come with the fact that they're a brand new restaurant) their donuts are fantastic! I'll definitely be eating at Duck Donuts again..and probably more times than I'd like to admit! :) read more

Duck Donuts - Who knew I'd like an egg and cheese on a donut! - Donuts Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The hype was worth a look, but it's not something I would go out of my way for. The premise is you go in and order your donuts to your specification. The selection of toppings and glazes are good - everything from indulgent peanut butter and chocolate to lemon and raspberry. The only thing that I wish they had is different types of donuts besides just regular cake. A chocolate , lemon ,maybe even orange flavor would be worthy of more stars. The other thing is they are great hot/fresh - but reheating them (even following the directions on the box) just loses some of the magic. Worth a stop, but not somewhere I would visit regularly. read more

Yummy!.....We got a mixture of donuts: Maple-Bacon, Sunrise, Chocolate with Caramel Drizzle, and Vanilla with Sprinkles.....Every donut was more tasty than the next.....Great service as well (Katie was very patient since we were first-timers) read more

Delicious! It's too bad all these little donut places weren't around before I had to really watch calories closely. I got two to take home to split with Bryan and warmed them up per the directions. I'd love to try one freshly made sometime, though. Great donuts and they allow you to customize the toppings, which is super cool. read more

After all of the hype, I expected the Pillsbury Doughboy himself to come out from the back and give me a massage. I'm not saying that the doughnuts are bad by any means, they're actually pretty good, but not the best I've ever had. Served warm (ok cool, kinda unique), I had the maple-bacon. It was decent, but doesn't compare to Oakmont Bakery's variation. Nonetheless, very friendly staff, clean place and there were opportunities to donate to Children's Hospital. I'd go back. read more

Deliciously fresh, hot cake donuts. Select one or many toppings all for one low price. Left with warm deliciousness in the tummy. Will return for certain. read more

This was my first experience at a Duck Donuts since my boyfriend made it very clear that we needed to go! A lot of people compare Peace, Love, and Little Donuts to Duck Donuts and I cannot agree with that. Duck Donuts' donuts are full size cake donuts for half the price of PL&LD! I believe a dozen costs around $13, but you're getting super fresh, STILL HOT, donuts, with any glaze, topping, and/or drizzle you choose at no extra cost! It has never been a long wait, considering they do make all the donuts MTO so expect to wait at least 5 minutes or so. They have water and usually samples of donuts while you wait, so there's nothing to really complain about! Warning-they can be pretty messy, but that's all the fun! Super family friendly and for a great price! The only problems I had with this location is that it is very small and when you walk through the doors, you walk right into the people that are waiting for their donuts along with anyone in line to order. It can get very cramped. Also, they have little notepads where you can write down your order ahead of time, but people just take the entire notepad to use, so just keep an eye out for that. Lastly, their hours on Sundays are rough, being that they're only open until 2pm! So get out of bed and make sure to get there early! read more

Super delicious and super fresh donuts. It's really fun to watch the process. I ended up ordering a breakfast sandwich... a regular one. They also have a breakfast sandwich on a donut. I didnt have a sweet tooth that day but it's on my list of dessert spots. Theres even a donut sundae. read more

I last minute ordered 2 dozen donuts for a Friday 7am work meeting at 5:00pm the night before. I was so impressed that they were still open as a bakery and the donut order was no problem at all. That morning I ordered an extra dozen and it was made right then and there. They were delicious, fresh, warm and perfect! My coworkers loved them. I can't wait to go back! read more

Duck Donuts's donuts are incredible! I love how you can design your own donut(s). My favorite is the vanilla donut with chocolate icing and rainbow sprinkles. I highly recommend Duck Donuts. read more

So I'm not really a donut person, but THESE donuts are GOOD. My husband brought back a dozen for the group in the morning and I tried because it was still warm. Big fan. read more

Duck Donuts is a wonderful establishment! Yummy donuts, coffee and a friendly and welcoming staff always make this a great experience! You can make your own donut, or get a pre-created one - or dozen! All of them are delicious and made fresh on the spot. They come out warm and reheat nicely even a few days later (if they last that long). The smell of this place just makes you happy. Highly recommended. read more

Breakfast sandwich on a donut was insane!! Perfect combo of sweet and salty. Perfect combo of soft and crunchy. Perfect breakfast. Mind is blown. read more

HANDS DOWN THE BEST DONUTS IVE EVER HAD! I ate here about a day ago and the entire experience was phenomenal. I'm obviously not a donut expert, far from it, but I've been to several high quality bakeries, and Duck Donuts was my favorite. First of all, the main reason that you'd want to come here, is that the donuts are customizable! You can have a maple donut with graham crackers and a marshmallow drizzle, you can have a glazed donut with Oreos and a salted caramel drizzle, the possibilities are astounding! They always have free samples out, which taste so great! If they don't have them out, there is a sign saying "Quack for More!" The theming of the whole store is great. All the employees are so hardworking, efficient, and incredibly kind! While we were waiting for our donuts, (1/2 dozen of all different custom donuts) the guy at the counter had a conversation with us! That's the kind of work ethic that I love to see in stores. All the donuts were very reasonable priced, one donut costs less than a bottle of water! They make them live and from scratch. They're warm when you get them, but the box still says that you can hear it up in the microwave for 8-10 seconds, but it is a lot less satisfying then. The donuts are prepared in the box (if there is one for your order) and finished quickly, and the orders get very complex! Overall, the best experience I've had in a while anywhere! (Please note that I forgot to check in, but I have the pictures down there to prove that I was there.) read more

I placed an online order prepaid for $65 for 4 dozen donuts, I was running an hour late and got there only to find they gave my whole order away. They could have called to see if I was still coming, it then took them an additional 20 minutes to make up a new batch because only 1 person worked on my order. About 6 customers came and went while I waited. Better off sticking to local bakeries. They are much busier and much more grateful for your business. read more

The possibilities are endless and the donuts are melt-in-your-mouth good! I don't usually like cake-y donuts but I really enjoyed these. The staff members I interacted with were so friendly. The guy taking my order was especially patient with me while I tried to decide what combination of glaze/toppings/drizzle I wanted for each donut. He also made suggestions which were helpful. I got a half dozen to share with the family so we cut them all into 4's so we could sample a little from each. My favorite combos were lemon glaze with coconut flakes, blueberry glaze with graham cracker, and vanilla glaze with coconut flakes and raspberry drizzle! read more

As someone who has only known Peace, Love, and Little Donuts I had high expectations, but they were met if not exceeded. While PL&LD's have smaller, denser cake donuts, Duck Donuts are larger and somehow lighter. They come out warm--as you stand in line you can watch them on the conveyer belt as they are fried and decorated. They also give a lot of freedom in your ability to customize toppings and frostings with their whiteboard style menu. 10/10 worth the drive out of the city to get them. read more

Terrible!!!! The donuts were supposed to be cheesecake flavored. Absolutely none of them were and the donuts tasted like starch. Never again. So disappointed. Paid $32 for crap read more

These donuts are squishy, undercooked and quite frankly disgusting. They are served warm and they are so underfried and doughy that they fall apart when you try to eat them. Hot mess express. Do yourself a favor and just go to peace love little donuts, they do a much better job. read more

Best donuts ever! Made to order! The maple bacon is the best freaking donut I've ever had! Cute and clean. Friendly service.

staff was super friendly and the warm donuts are to die for! not too expensive but well worth it. my brother and i love this place and would recommend read more

Yum. Warm doughnut with any topping or dip you can imagine. Small in size but a fun experience.

Just plain awesome! It's the experience of watching your creation being prepared in front of you. You will not be disappointed at all. read more

Duck Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I stopped in here the other day to see what all the hype is about. On pulling into the shopping center it's very dead and this not much of a sign showing it's here. The parking lot was pretty empty being it was around 1230 1pm. On entering the store it was empty and sadly I was not greeted by the girl working. Being my first time here I was not to sure what to do but I found the paper and pencil to check off what you want. I walked up to the counter and handed it to the girl. It was surprisingly cheap running about $1.50 for a donut with toppings. The drinks where all around $2 to $4 bucks. I decided just to have some water but they give you very tiny cups. They did offer some shirts and other promotional stuff. I decided to get the chocolate, peanuts and salted caramel donuts. I don't think it was a good choice being I only ate half of it. The chocolate was just a bit to much and the donut had to much of a cake like taste. I had half and tossed it being to sweet for me. My experience did not stand up to the hype and sadly overall I don't think I'll be returning. read more

The three people who were working when my grandchildren and I came into your store around 11:30 am I ordered 4 of your bacon and salted caramel glaze first of all they were donuts weren't made fresh they were in a white bin also all 4 of the bacon ones didn't have the salted caramel glaze on them I got them for my daughter and husband I can't just run back and get it fixed I live in Crafton so mad forgot to tell you about the 3 people working the 2guys and the girl let's put it this way very unprofessional for the amount of money I spent my order should have been like the first time I came they were absolutely delicious today sloppy and made all wrong read more

The customer service is wonderful The Doughnuts can not be beat Just know that each order is made to order so plan on staying for a few minutes, however those few minutes can be so very entertaining read more

Been to the original in North Carolina. The one in Pittsburgh is a great option too. Makes me feel like I'm on vacation even when I only have a day off. read more

Delicious donuts that are hot and fresh and made to order. You can watch them cook to getting decorated with your topping of your choice. The best part is the staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for the donuts but also the coffee! read more

My colleague brought these in for the office, and they are so good. I usually don't eat this stuff, but I tasted this time, and man - glad I did. I can see what all the fuss is about. Talk about tasty treats. If you want to be the office hero, stop in for a dozen and don't forget your friends at work! read more

I have been excited to try this donut shop conveniently located in the new Siena complex. I was a little confused as they had clipboard erasable forms and then paper forms as well. I just took a paper form and designed two donuts. I ordered a blueberry glaze, graham cracker crumble, blackberry drizzle donut, and a vanilla glaze with shredded coconut donut. I was surprised at how cheap the donuts were as two donuts were only $2.40. They also had samples of their cake donut which was nice. My donuts were made very quickly and I was asked if I was satisfied with how they looked. Overall, I really liked the blueberry glaze on the donut, but was disappointed that by the time I was home the toppings had fallen off. The vanilla icing was too thick and took away from the shredded coconut. The donut itself is on the smaller side and not too dense, so you could easily eat two without thinking about it when they are nice and warm. Overall, a nice place to grab some donuts in the south hills. read more

Customer service was impeccable. The donuts are vanilla cake based and freshly made to order. You can customize them or choose from one of their many delicious recommendations. The donut itself is similar to a funnel cake in taste. I got a strawberry iced donut. The icing wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. Delicious none the less, I will return and try other flavors! read more

I am sure the donuts are great but we never got that far. We decided to stop in after receiving coupons for BOGO coffee and donuts. After waiting in line, we asked the girl at the register what coffee we could order and she said any of them. We proceeded to order coffee and donuts. She became confused as to how to put in the coupons and called the manager over. He then told us we could only have regular coffee. OK fine. Then said and you can't order donuts too. Seriously?? He was impolite and not at all accommodating. Totally understand rules but please train your employees and do not embarrass them. AND if you say yes, honor your commitment and do not make a scene with customers. Customer service goes a LONG way and there are choices out there. Unfortunately, we will NOT be back. read more

I first had these in Raleigh, and then learned one was coming to Pgh and was beyond excited. I live an hour away, but have made the trip 5-6 times in the year it's been open. I tend to like the fruity flavors, except I do adore the French toast one (maple with cinnamon and powdered sugars). Pricey, but considerably larger than PLLD, and always warm. Reheat fairly well too. read more

Though the donuts we had were indeed fresh, the powdered sugar got absorbed into the donut and wasn't great. For the price (rather expensive), we didn't think Duck Donuts was a good value. The flavors of the donuts weren't anything spectacular either. read more

My favorite place to get donuts! I've had in Virginia Beach and was so happy to have a location so close to home. Donuts are always warm and fresh and very addicting! read more

Love this place. It's way better than peace love and little donuts. I like that these are regular size donuts as well. It's a great idea that they have order forms you can fill out prior to going makes it a lot easier since the possibilities are endless. I will be back in 2 weeks when the novelty wares off and try their duck donut sandwich lol. read more

Very clean, friendly store! The donuts smell amazing! They are very fresh, just out of the oven warm. Never had a better donut anywhere! I hope they expand however. I believe the south hills has the only location! read more
