This has nothing to do with the food, but I found it odd to see how rude the owner was. There were lots of people arriving at 8am and a little bit after and the shop was not open yet. The owner proceeded to snap at a woman who was waiting outside, telling her that they aren't ready to open yet. When she asked when they would open he said "No idea" then walked away. Once they ended up opening the doors he immediately began yelling at everyone (about 2 dozen people) to keep the doors shut. I get his point because the flies are terrible here, but the way he was acting was pretty crazy. Obviously this is the only place that sells fresh donuts within 20 minutes, so I guess he can get away with it. Thought it was pretty funny that he was asking people to leave a tip after acting like such a tool though. The donuts are pretty good just a little expensive. read more

Good option for tasty pizza. There are few options for food in this area, especially at the beginning of the week when the other places are closed.In the mornings, they offer donuts, but get their quick as they sell out within an hour.  The rest of the day is pizza. Nothing else. Ignore their online menu because they got rid of everything else and only make pizza, but they are making solid pizza!  We ordered two pies and both were very good! Plus they deliver. We were at Camp Hatteras and they brought it right to our site. Friendly driver!  I would definitely recommend Dough Shack. read more

Food was ready super fast. We picked up. Pizzas were priced very reasonably. All three we got: chicken bacon ranch, meat lovers, and their white pizza were delish. It was later in the day so we didn't get to try the donuts. read more

Great donuts, was not open until late afternoon the saturday of labor day weekend. Spoke to the man in charge and was assured they would be open normal hours the following day and that he had just given the morning crew off because some of them were leaving for the summer. They are closed again. Do not plan on being able to get donuts or food here or believe their hours. read more

Great customer service. Fresh and fluffy donuts the kids devoured. Will return to try out the pizza. It is on the pricier side ($30/dozen) but supporting local is what it's all about and worth every penny Small shop but plenty of space next to the building with a beautiful sound side view. read more

The Dough Shack - Half pep/half cheese, easy on the sauce. - Pizza Near Me - Rodanthe, North Carolina

Really nice robust sauce. The crust was ok but needed to be a more crisp (center soggy) Suggest spreading sauce and toppings more evenly for a better pie. read more

So convenient to Hatteras RV Campground. The person working was very nice and the pizza and wings were perfect. Didn't have an opportunity to try the doughnuts. Nexts time! read more

The place is a bit expensive, but I get it. It's in OBX and not a chain. Other places are still cheaper though. We got a half pepperoni and half sausage pizza for $30. The lady who took my phone order wasn't friendly. When my wife picked up the pizza with my son, she said the woman was less than pleasant as well. My 5 year old son chimed in and said, "she was not very nice." The pizza was average to above average, but they were very stingy with the toppings as you can see from the picture. Those slices had the most toppings on them, as the ones we ate had even less. I really wanted to like this place, but I won't be going back. My wife got donuts that we will try tomorrow. read more

Hands down the best pizza we've had in Outer Banks, I would highly recommend! Here on vacation with 13 family members and we all agreed. Plus as a bonus they have donuts available too!! The maple bacon glaze is phenomenal! read more

This was an extremely small spot with no seating on the inside with donuts, bagels, and pizza on the menu. The service was very friendly and attentive. A dozen donuts ($14.99?) and a slice of bacon and sausage pizza ($3.50?) were ordered. The donuts were all small and extremely light. Regarding the pizza, it was great. It was a white pizza and both meats were a solid touch. The crust also had a slight crisp, which I preferred. Each type I tried is below. Strawberry Frosted - This was tasty, enough of a strawberry flavor. Glazed - This was good, not overly glazed and far from too sweet. Vanilla Icing with Sprinkles - This was my favorite. I really enjoyed the vanilla flavor with the added touch of the sprinkles. Vanilla Icing with Raspberry Glaze - I enjoyed this, but there was not a heavy taste of the glaze. Chocolate Icing with Sprinkles - This was alright, just was not a huge fan of the chocolate. Vanilla Icing with Chocolate & Caramel Glaze - The vanilla icing, but again, there was not a strong taste of the glaze. Will I go back? Yes. read more

The pizza was fantastic! We ordered the Buxton with the balsamic drizzle and it was by far the best pizza I've had in a while. The crust was perfectly crispy with a soft inside. The kids loved the cheesy bread, it was like pizza crust with cheese on it. We also had the cinnamon donut ice cream sandwiches and those were absolutely wonderful. The guys working were friendly and helpful! Definitely our favorite little spot we've found on vacation here. read more

The Dough Shack - Cake Doughnuts3 - Pizza Near Me - Rodanthe, North Carolina

Overall, they were average. We ordered on Saturday night when we arrived. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza, some wings, cheese bread, and mozzarella sticks. The pizza was decent, but when it arrived the had been carried like a football and everything in the pizza box was a jumbled mess. The wings were okay, not enough sauce and not crispy at all. The cheese bread was the least favored item. There was virtually no cheese on it and was badly over cooked. The highlight of the order was the mozzarella sticks. They were huge and very good! Now the price. Yikes. I think we paid nearly 80 bucks with tip.... I know, beach town and convenience pricing, but this seemed a bit steep for what we got. read more

If you are staying in the Waves/ Rodanthe area, definitely check out the dough shack! Pros: - The wait time was very short (15-20 min) -The prices were very reasonable -The staff was very friendly -They are not stingy on that toppings at all -The crust was soft & perfect -The donuts were delicious - They have an iced latte machine which was surprisingly good -This was such a delicious, easy meal for out last night so we could pack up and not make a mess Cons: -The staff weren't wearing masks (which I found to be common in OBX) -We were there in september and their hours changed to later in the afternoon/ evening i'm sure to lower customer volumes, which is a problem if you want donuts earlier than noon read more

The donuts are SUPER fresh, so soft and really good! There is zero of that "oily" flavor donuts sometimes have. Dare I say, in my opinion, the glazed is better than a KK donut read more

Pizza was ok at best. The donuts were bland. Service was good and they accommodated a food allergy, but the food was just so so. If you are accustomed to good pizza this isn't your spot. read more

Doughnuts... not an item I ever crave but considering someone brought them back to the campsite and I had a pot of freshly brewed Sumatra ready to go, well, you know. These are all the same base level doughnut with no option for variety. Like a Honda civic where you tack on a few extra features, but the underlying vehicle itself remains a unexciting. The cake is yellow (with a slight vanilla flavor) and they were all cooked correctly as I would expect for $1 each. The differing icings and glazes were okay. The lemon and vanilla caramel didn't express any special feelings in my mouth. I polled my fellow campers for any significant leanings either way. A teen said the chocolate was average and the cake was unimpressive and the sentiment was echoed around the circle. So the whole doughnut experience this morning is summed up with a resounding "Meh." At least my coffee is good. read more

The pizza was good. There wasn't a lot of sauce and the dough was chewy. So if those are your things- you'll love it. The service was friendly and ordering online was easy. We did carry out. I will say I was outraged by the gluten free pizza price- $20 for a 12 inch cheese pizza quickly became $30 with a few toppings. In total we had 3 large (cheese, margarita, meat lovers) and a 12 inch gluten free with 3 toppings and it was $103. I probably wouldn't go back if I was trying to feed a crowd but just for a quick dinner for a couple or the family, I would. read more

The Pizza there is okay overall. However the pepperoni (meat) slices are tiny and the crust is similar in taste to Pizza Hut's. Their gluten free menu is underwhelming according to my father and consists of pre-packaged/not fresh food. According to my brother, the donuts and Eclairs are hard and dry too. The service there is bright and cheery. As for what I can say about the ambience: this place is a smaller partition of a larger building, hidden around the corner of a glass atrium of a shop similar to that of a Wings or an Eagles beach shop. So it is easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. read more

I have no idea how this several day old donut shop has the amount of stars it has cause these donuts were so hard I couldn't even eat it threw them away so bad read more

Great place very close to the KOA. Pepperoni and honey pizza was absolutely amazing! I would strongly recommend

$23 for six small donuts and two small eclairs. I would be totally fine paying that type of price for amazing donuts but these were pretty basic. I gave it two stars instead of one because these donuts were perfectly fried and the dough was spot on. The eclairs however were horrible and might have even tasted a bit like pizza with bacon even on the bottom of one. Gag. The space is run down and messy. I might expect to pay that price for a cute atmosphere but it's literally in a big souvenir shop. I am very picky about giving business to people that care about their location, setting and delivery of their product. I called back in to question how much donuts are. Sounds like my donut part should have been around $12 so that means my horrible eclairs were $5 each. I would probably pay $12 for the donut part because it's close, convenient, the dough and cooking were all pretty spot on. If I could separate my review I'd give 0 stars for eclairs and price and 4 stars for donuts! But since I can't I have to go half way in between. ***update: $2 per cake donut $3 per yeast donut and a whopping $4 per maple bacon donut So for my 6 donuts it was $19 after tax for six donuts. Going to have to try all the other places people rant and rave about. I think my shock comes from the fact that everything else on this island is actually pretty affordable but dang bring lots of money if you come here with a donut fetish! ‍ read more

Ummm made fresh donuts for each order.....5 star! They were delish and even took a risk on the breakfast pizza and we thought it was delicious. I truly did not expect that it would be good but it was and I would buy again. Customer service was friendly and prompt. Everything is cooked fresh so a short wait after placing your order but well worth it! I really intended to take pics but once we smelled everything we dove in and devoured it all. Maybe next time. read more

Pizza and doughnuts. My two favorite foods in one place!! It is small, local and delicious. We stayed in Rodanthe, NC for our 2018 summer vacation and was excited to see this place had opened walking distance from where we live. It has a few counter spots to sit and some outdoor picnic tables. But we got ours to go. This place is hoppin' and has a friendly staff! read more

The Dough Shack - Outside the restaurant! - Pizza Near Me - Rodanthe, North Carolina

Pizza at the beach can be an awesome experience And I think the dough shack deserves a thumbs up. Good people for sure. I really liked the pizza I had. We have to clarify that there are definitely different v types of pizza lovers for sure. So to reach his own. For me I thought it was solid given the food offerings in the area. Note it gets weird that it's a donut and pizza shop. And that it doesn't open early Ie most people eat donuts early. So not sure what's going On but hey, all n good. For me, I loved the passion the v owner had for his donuts, for I can't say I was a total fan. It's creative and there are cool options. If that opened at 7 am would I get a dozen to go with coffee, for sure. Since they don't, would I get donuts again, probably not. Pizza yes. I know it looks like it's part of the store next door. Need to distinctly make themselves look more like a pizza place by painting outside different color than the "Wings" beach store it's attached too. read more

Ordered several pizzas on our first night in Rodanthe and decided upon The Dough Shack due to its high reviews. We ordered cheese and meat lovers, and I would recommend both. The pizza wasn't quite as crispy as I prefer, but that's a matter of taste. Good, classic tasting pizza. We picked up the pizza late at night and the workers (could have been the owners, not certain) gave us a free box of donuts to try as well, since, as they said, they throw away the old ones anyway. The donuts were doughy and delicious! They are smaller than your average donut, with double the flavor. The cookies and cream was my favorite. read more

We are forever customers! I have never experienced such amazing customer service before. Once they informed us the pizza would be 15min when in reality it took thirty. The owner apologized and sent us home with extra free food. Another time the pizza did not look appealing to the owner, he confirmed we were okay with it and then gave it to us for a big discount. The food is awesome! The pizza is not too cheesy/ saucy, it is light and hits the spot every time. We always get the Hawaiian with jalapeños. What truly pushes the place over the edge is their AMAZING doughnuts!!!! Never have I had doughnuts these good, and they don't leave a gross aftertaste like most do. The only problem I have with this place is that they are closed Saturdays and Sundays. When we come to OBX for the weekend, we stock up on doughnuts Friday to last us the remainder of our trip. read more

we are avid RVers and have traveled throughout the US and Canada. we also LOVE DONUTS. and i can say with absolute certainty that these are the best donuts in the world. this is based on extensive scientific research!! i look forward to this place every year when we travel to cape hatteras. the best donuts that are always served with a smile! read more

Ordered a couple of pizzas including the white pizza, pepperoni and an all meat pizza. All were delicious. And cooked at the right amount. Not overcooked nor undercooked. Also ordered some bbq chicken wings. Nothing special; but we have a lactose intolerant person in our family. The wings were a bit undercooked (not crispy). Not sure if it was true or not, but my sister said we got a box of donuts for free! She might of said this to justify the donuts she brought back. Those were a welcome treat for our Friday night and our Saturday morning coffee. read more

Went there at 8 am to get doughnuts and they weren't open, even though their posted hours state they open at 8. Went back later in the day and they said they didn't do breakfast service this morning. I wouldn't have minded if that was what is advertised but I guess when you are privately owned you can do whatever you want. I won't be back. read more

We took a weekend trip to Rodanthe, NC to celebrate my son and husband's birthday. We got The Dough Shack doughnuts for breakfast one morning and really enjoyed them! The dough shack is a combination bagel, pizza and doughnut shop and I would go back for any of these items. We got a variety of doughnuts from lemon (my personal favorite) , sprinkle (my son's favorite), bacon maple (my husband's favorite) , and s'more flavored. I would recommend getting a variety and sharing with them friends so you can find your favorite flavor. I would go back again the next time we are in Rodanthe. read more
