Dogtown Pizza

Just a few minutes away from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this place is awesome! The atmosphere is fun and inviting, the service is kind, friendly, and thoughtful, and the food is phenomenal! I highly recommend the Appalachian Pizza; I am fully aware that apple butter on a pizza sounds very unusual - but suspend your disbelief, and give it a try! The sweetness of the apple butter, is met with a slight bite from the goat cheese, and balanced by the local sausage and some of the best pizza dough I have ever eaten! Give this place a try! You won't regret it! Note: if you have young kids, try to come in a bit earlier for dinner, as it's still definitely a bar.

Really liked this place in Downtown Floyd. Wood fired pizza was really good and the cheese curds checked out with the Wife from Wisconsin! Great service, our server James was top notch. Knew when to help us and when to leave us alone. Definitely will be back when I'm around.

Great gluten free pizza 🍕 The music was lovely and the service was fantastic 🥂🤩

Decent place and food, but they will charge you $60 just to sit at a table! And, once seated, they tell you they’re sold out of half the menu! This is Floyd, not LA! Their mgmt needs to get a grip. Servers and kitchen are awesome. Bar, too. It’s just the “policies” that suck.

Appalachian pizza (with apple butter) was incredible! Veggie pizza and southwestern salad were also very good. Reasonable prices. Good beer and cider selection. Very loud inside and dark so I wouldn't say the atmosphere was the best. Server was very friendly.

We had the salad, pizza, and smashed burger. The pizza was really salty, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re not into salty food like me. The smashed burger was good, and the salad was nothing special. Overall, I’d recommend going for the sandwiches instead of the pizza.

We love the vibe of Dogtown and Floyd, VA in general and visit often. When Dogtown is very busy service can be slow but since we're never in a hurry, we sit back and enjoy the atmosphere, local scenery, and music. We generally favor the salads but the fried foods are good as well. The wood fired pizza is delish. Love the locally brewed IPAs. There is one issue that keeps me from giving Dogtown 5 stars . . . . they do not provide recycling containers for cans and bottles. And, the restaurant generates lots of empty cans/bottles every time they are open! I get that providing recycle containers and having them emptied adds additional overhead cost but, really, just raise the price of a beer by a nickel! Come on, Chad, we need Dogtown to step-up, set an example for other shops, and provide recycle containers.

Food was delicious. Had the Appalachian Pizza and house salad. Would order the exact same thing if I went back. It was so good. Floyd was an amazing town and I will for sure return. Loved everything about it!

We have eaten at Dogtown many, many times through the years. This past experience wasn't the greatest I'm sad to say. It was a normal sized crowd when we arrived, and we were seated immediately. We ordered waters and my husband ordered a beer. Drinks came quickly but that was the only water we had. At one point I gave up and refilled our waters myself with a pitcher from the servers station. We perused the menu even though we knew what we wanted. I'd just like to say it may be time to put some money into new menus. They were both so dirty, not especially appetizing. I had the smash burger a few months ago and loved it so we both knew what we were having. The burger (and fries) were tasty but the patty was incredibly small. Tiny!!! Very disappointing, especially since we were headed to music later and wouldn't get an opportunity to eat anything else for some time. We will be back. We have a vacation home nearby so we are in Floyd frequently. That being said we really miss the great service and vibe we have grown accustomed to. Maybe it was just an off day....

We were in town recently and had a late lunch here. A large place with seating inside and out, with a large stage on one end. A pizza kitchen on the left as you walk in and a long bar on the right. We were greeted shortly after walking in, within a couple minutes. There were only a few people when we entered, but it filled up quickly by the time we left. Our server who also sat us, had menu in hand with plates, cutlery and napkins. She returned a few minutes later and took our drink orders along with an appetizer. We started with the pretzel with marinara and spicy mustard. It was fresh baked and deliciously good. A nice consistency with just enough course salt, and both dipping sauces had their own unique twists with the pretzel. A good start. After giving the menu a good review. we opted for the build your own pizza with marinara sauce, mushrooms, banana peppers, black olives, artichoke hearts and fresh mozzarella. It was a pretty good pie, a nice thin crust with good char from the oven, decent toppings but a little thin of ingredients considering the size and cost of the pie. It did not really look like any marinara sauce was used or if it was it was only a couple tablespoons. Same on the other ingredients. Only a couple artichoke hearts chopped up, along with I don't believe would amount to more than a single banana pepper chopped up in total. Again the flavor was good, but the scrimping on toppings it felt a little short changed for the price paid. We ordered the baked chocolate chip cookie with ice cream, a 6" round cast iron skillet with a freshly baked cookie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Its a good dessert and enough to split with another person. It was however a bit pricey, at over $11. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the service, she was kind, friendly and professional 01088

I came here for a rehearsal dinner and it exceeded my expectations! We had a group of 20-30 people so we ordered our food in advance and everything was ready for us almost immediately. The service was great too! As some of our pizzas were finished the staff was really quick to replace them with a new, fresh, hot pizza. They were also very attentive and periodically came by to make sure we had everything we needed. I really loved the set up too. They had a pretty large stage with amazing live artists. I would definitely come back!

Good food. Fast service and live music. How can you go wrong?I will definitely go back if I'm in the area

I cannot believe I grew up in Blacksburg and have never eaten here until the other day. This place was so delicious and a lot of fun. They have a wood fired oven and the pizza was so so good. They did not skimp on the cheese which is always a plus for me. Sometimes with wood fired pizza ovens, the crust can become a little too charred for me but that didn't happen here & the crust had a great flavor. I was here for a wedding rehearsal dinner so I got to try a few different pizzas but I think the classic cheese was my favorite. I also tried one with banana peppers and bacon which was really delicious. Their pizza menu has so many unique options though so I can't wait to go back and try some new ones. They also have a nice variety of beers and live music! This place was completely packed but the service was still great so I was really impressed. Parking can be a little difficult because it's street parking but there are a ton of street parking spots. Since I was there for a rehearsal dinner, we were able to reserve some tables ahead of time & make sure our pizzas were ready by the time we arrived, but I know otherwise we would have had to wait quite a while since it was so packed - it's definitely worth the wait though. Absolutely recommend for delicious pizza and great beer and music!

Our server made a mistake by adding an item to our check. He was slightly arrogant with us when we asked him to correct it. Our card ended up being charged for both the correct and incorrect checks. I've reached out via phone and email to correct this with no response to either. We live 4.5 hours away so stopping in isnt really an option. Food: 5/5 | Service: 1/5

Great food, Great service and dogs are allowed on the deck that overlooks the park. Perfection!

Great pizza place with a good variety of options. The pizza crust is among the best I ever had. Burger and pulled chicken sandwich was also delicious, as well as the side salad. Laid back type of place with a fun vibe. They were setting up for a show, service was quick, they had us out within an hour of sitting down.

Jeff. Everything else Dogtown ... in that order= 10/10 (Apple butter works btw) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ordered pizza to take out so there was no sending it back once we got home and found the crust was burnt. Should have picked up from Casey's. Literally any frozen option from Food Lion would have tasted better.

I have been back to this place a couple times already to catch different bands. It's always a different experience every time I go in. I love their buffalo chicken pizza. Honestly I haven't tried anything else yet, but I will. I promise. Food and drink service is always super fast And the place always looks clean and fresh.

Holy guacamole were we impressed by this little pizza restaurant in Floyd. If you've been to Floyd or the surrounding area you know there isn't a whole lot to choose from or really any food in the area that is top notch, well dogtown took the award for the best place in Floyd. We had been told from multiple people to check it out when we go up for the weekend to visit so we finally got around to trying it out yesterday. We went about 12 pm on a Saturday which was fine there wasn't a whole lot of people there and we didn't have to wait but around 1 it became really busy with a line out the door. Granted we did go up the weekend that all the fall leaves were at peak color so the whole town was busy. On to the food, I was blown away by the garlic knots. I wish I had some now to eat. They had huge chunks of garlic on top and were nice and warm and the dough was very fresh. The pizza was just your typical pizza cooked in a wood fire oven but still very good for the small town of Floyd. Needless to say I cannot wait to go back (mainly for the garlic knots) but next time I will step outside the box and try a different pizza. We always play it safe when we go to a new restaurant and order something we know we will like but this isn't a restaurant you have to play it safe at, the flavor is PHENOMENAL! Way to go Floyd, VA & Dogtown

Food was great, Service was great, Dry Pretzels, Live Music was Awesome, Salsa on Nachos Was Worse than Expected, And my Parents Dragged me along and I had a "Great Time."

The restaurant has outdoor seating, which was ideal for my wife and I. We happened to be there on a weekend and it was a party atmosphere, even at lunchtime. The food was delicious, tge service impeccable and the atmosphere was great. Five stars are not enough!

I want to Love this place. Great for a drink and catching a show. The food however is not worth the price. Very small salads for what you pay, and forget about ordering a Gluten Free Pizza Crust. They will tax you an additional $5 (for dough that does not appear to be made in house) and to top it off, well they don't top you off. I ordered a veggie pizza ($16) on Gluten Free Crust and barely had 3 mushroom slices, a piece of a red onion and a couple of peppers scattered on the pizza. Im not one to complain or send something back to the kitchen but I was not impressed and my Partner was so frustrated that he actually pointed the lack of toppings out to out waiter and he just shrugged at us walked away. For what came out to be a $21 pizza, you would have thought they would have been generous with the toppings. We haven't eaten here since. Major rip off. Come for the Bloody's and Beers. Leave and go find food elsewhere.

I would definitely recommend the Appalachian pizza! Siting at the outdoor bar was really lovely!

Extremely disappointing. Food was average at best. Service was horrendous. Server lost our order. They did extend discount but would have much preferred an enjoyable evening. Would not recommend.

We were met with a warm welcome and enjoyed the outdoor deck. Pros: Nice outdoor deck. Dog friendly. Great draft beer list (regional craft brews). Cons: Service was slow and disorganized. Cheese curds were over fried leaving no cheese inside the breading. The oil also tasted old. Pizza sounded like it would be amazing (wood fired) but was boring, dry and tasteless; we got the Hawaiian pizza so it should have had some flavor. The crust was like cardboard.

Great waitress Jackie. Pizza was outstanding. We will be back for dinner. Charming place.

Have been here a few times when I'm in town &'locals are kind, nice environment & service is fast, their pizzas are unique - Jay the bartender takes his craft seriously too.

Well.. the pizza is great but.. I put on my pickup order for my cesar how I had nut allergies, and they didn't even give me a cesar salad instead i got a random salad WITH ALMONDS.

Great food - extremely poor customer service. The waitress failed to put in the dinner order for two people in our group. By the time she corrected the mistake, the rest of the table was finished eating. It's ok to make a mistake - we all do - and we are understanding of that. But treating customers badly when we kindly questioned where the rest of our order was - just extremely uncalled for and disrespectful. As a business owner, I can imagine the owners of the restaurant would not appreciate the arrogance and disrespect of their staff. It ultimately reflects badly on them. We were talked down to and got rude attitudes from the waitress and then the manager. It made for a bad experience, and made us feel uncomfortable. While the food was delicious, the service was unacceptable

We stopped in Floyd VA for the night and were all just really exhausted and wanted some pizza! We found this cool little local spot with a bunch of fun different pizzas! They were having live music and have a cute little patio on the side of the restaurant that is dog friendly! Margherita Pizza Marinara, fresh mozzarella, and house made pesto Paisan Pizza Marinara, mozzarella, local Native Farms Mangalitsa sausage and caramelized onions Pepperoni Cheese All were amazing but I think the margarita was my favorite!

Piazza was delicious. Husband got wings and he said they were better they his favorite place at home. Great service. Ambiance is unpretentious. They have a big stage and have music in weekends.

I stopped in here for lunch on a recent camping trip to Floyd. I was happy to find it because we had our dogs with us and they were very accommodating to pets (we were able to find seats outside, they brought us water bowls, etc.). The actual space is huge and really unique with a big stage and tons of potential for performances and other fun, I'm sure it's a big draw during Floyd Fest. We ordered the sweet potato fries, which were great, and the veggie pizza, which was a little mediocre. The beer choices were excellent- I fell in love with the pumpkin ale that they had on offer and was pleased to find that they had a lot of local brews. Overall a very cool spot, I'd love to come back here in the summer sometime.

Highly recommend this great local spot. We stumbled across this gem after an almost 8 hour travel day on our way to NC. Service was a little slow at first, but the food and cocktails was well worth the wait! My boyfriend had a pepperoni pizza (he's a plain Jane) and I got the creamy pig pizza. Both were 10/10 on cook and taste. I also got the specialty cocktail, the blue ridge twilight, which was Tito's Vodka, lemon juice, honeysuckle syrup, and a Prosecco topper. It was fantastic and we nicknamed it the dangerosa. We also ended up here on a karaoke night, which was entertaining to watch as the locals here clearly take their karaoke very seriously.

Best pizza this side of New Jersey!! Hand tossed crusts that are baked in a clay oven. And a great, live music parade if artists.

Pizza was the best I've ever had, seriously. This crust was incredible. Seating was a bit of an issue, but we got it figured out. The band playing that night was awesome. Hostess had a bit of a "tude", but server was cool. Will eat here again!

Pizza time! Dogtown is an anchor business along Floyd's main downtown strip and is located right next to a park (complete with band shell, I think it's used for Floyd Fest). I mention the park because, whole they do have a nice amount for patio seating (open during coronavirus), taking your pizza to the park is another great option if you have a large party or just need more distance. At lunchtime on a Saturday, they had a great 2/$20 pizza deal, of which we took advantage! Veggie pie was delicious, as was the "margherita" (which sacrilegiously comes with pesto instead of fresh basil, but ok fine). Beer prices were higher than we expected for Floyd, but they had at least one super cheap special as well as several local craft brews on tap. Was happy to see all staff in masks and social distance being practiced. Would return!

Had a 6 top. They took an hour and a half to get us our food. Promised a discount. Didn't apply one. Waitress was a lunatic. We reminded her three times about our drinks at the bar. They came 30 mins later. There was a band, and the waitress said $8 would be added to each of our tabs if we didn't leave by 8pm. When the she said the food was going to be late, she said we needed to eat quickly or be charged $8. We are going to come back once it isn't run by 19 year olds.

Came here Labor Day weekend with my husband where we ordered at the front of the restaurant and were seated right away. They took good precautions for covid and the restaurant was very clean and spacious. I ordered the wood fired veggie pizza which came out warm and had good portions of ingredients on it. The wings were flavorful and the blue cheese was thick and chunky. The band started playing at 7:30 pm (Saturday night) on an elevated stage.

The pizza is to die for! The staff is super friendly, they do trivia nights on Thursday and it is a warm and fun place to be. Love it

Food was amazing! My hubby had fresh tomato basil soup and a Greek salad. The soup and bread are made fresh and it was delicious. I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries-it was good. The venue is quite nice outside overlooking the park.

Great spot! Pizza was delicious! We had the bruschetta knots, and the Appalachian pizza! Great atmosphere, came in on open mic night, really enjoyed watching the locals play!

A wonderful venue with a wonderful staff. Really great food and really great people serving it to you.

This is the best pizza around!! I eat gluten free and the Gluten Free is even the best!!

First time here! We ventured up from Roanoke with our dogs and sat on their pet-friendly patio. The server recommended the wings and we chose the buffalo flavor. He wasn't lying when he said they were the best around. They were some of the best wings we've ever had!! We also ordered the Appalachia pizza which was unique but very good. Almost had a dessert pizza vibe to it. Crust was so light and airy but also crispy. Only complaint is that it had little to no sausage on it. They completely skimped and I feel like that's ridiculous for an $18 medium sized pizza. Overall, we would definitely go back and recommend!

Great food and atmosphere but the service and management are on the blink. Hope they turn it around because this is amazing spot and area with good food.

My husband and I went on a weeknight in July around 7ish when they were having trivia. The place was slammed! The two bartenders doing the best they could to keep up. The wait for a table was right at 30 minutes, which the hostess had informed us previously. The hostess was very friendly and competent. The waiter was not overly helpful with the menu or friendly, but was efficient. We ordered a pizza and it was ok. The place was loud, crowded, and the food just ok. Probably more of a bar than a restaurant. They advertise bands on the weekends. Which is probably fun. The atmosphere was crowded, not big enough to handle the amount of people in there. The stage was nicely done with theater curtains. This is a place to come to if you want a drink, bar food, and don't mind crowds. Not a place for a nice meal and room to feel like your not sandwiched in between people.

So we decided to go here and eat after a trip up to Chateau Morrisette and having a recommendation from Ray in the tasting room. I was not disappointed! Dogtown doesn't look like the site of a great pizza place but don't let that put you off. There is a nice selection of craft beer on draft as well as a decent wine list written on the chalk board. One gets the feeling that while they take their craft seriously, they don't take themselves too seriously. I get the vibe that they really have fun there. The pizzas were great, cooked in a wood fired oven no less. This gives a great flavor to the crust, those little burnt bits on the edges are the real treasure. We ordered a few different pizzas but the best was the Piasano, topped with local made sausage, caramelized onions, and cheese. Yum! Floyd, VA is a little town but this was a nice gem was worth the beautiful drive there.

Pizza was good, but not worth the price. Wine was okay, but again, an expensive pour for Floyd.

We've visited this restaurant while in town visiting family three times now. The pizza is some of the best pizza we've had. The atmosphere is rustic and welcoming. At times things move a bit slow but not enough to take away from the experience. We loved the local talent hitting the stage for open mic night. We'll be back for sure.

The way pizza should be! They get so many things right: The crust is of perfect thickness: not thin so it tears easily and all you taste is toppings, and not thick so you can't fold it in half. Neither dry nor oily. It's stretchy like a pizza crust should be, not crumbly or bread-like. No annoying cornmeal stuck to the bottom. And not burnt; just nicely browned and toasted in spots. Regardless of what some shops seem to think and have fooled many diners into believing, crust burned to carbon-black is NOT a good thing. I could go on. If I had to dock any points on the crust I might say it was a bit heavily salted. That wasn't really a problem for me - I love salt - but might be objectionable to some. I did not order a traditional pizza but rather one of their specials, "The Appalachian". Sausage, caramelized onion, aged white cheddar and goat cheese over an apple butter Base. An intriguing combination that really works. You don't really taste the apple butter as an apple or dessert flavor; rather it comes across as another dimension of sweetness that works really well with the caramelized onions which were expertly slow-cooked and nicely brown and caramely. Goat cheese with its salty tang offsets the sweetness and of course cheddar and apple pie are a classic combination so the cheddar works with the apple butter. The sausage was thinly sliced, mildly spicy, and fairly abundant. To add to the many positives they cook the pizzas in that beautiful wood-fired oven that features prominently in the interior decor. The wood oven and the open kitchen add another whole dimension of interest to what would otherwise be a fairly ordinary sports bar. Given the choice I'd much rather watch the kitchen activity than the telly, yet another gang of overpaid men running around throwing balls and chasing each other. I wish I could have tried an ordinary tomato sauce and mozzarella-style pizza too for comparison purposes. My specialty pizza was terrific but unique so it is hard to compare with other shops. Surprisingly, they don't seem to offer standard combinations like pepperoni and mushroom on the menu, but all the ingredients are there and you can easily "make your own" for a reasonable price. (That's what the DW did and ironically she ended up with something very similar to mine, minus the apple butter. She liked hers too.) Also surprising: the a-la-carte toppings didn't include many common ingredients which I really like, such as hamburg, meatball, and eggplant. They would need to offer these to get 5 stars from me. As to the service: we were seated quickly, our waitress was great, and the food was cooked quickly and perfectly, with no mistakes. Excellent service to go along with the excellent food. They also have a stage and apparently have live music several evenings (except - naturally - the evening we were there). Looks like a good place to hear music and worth checking out. Though for my musical tastes I am probably more suited for the Floyd Country Store, nearby, which seems to be their main competitor on the Floyd music scene.

So much fun, chicken nachos and pizza was amazing, atmosphere was great, and we had outstanding service!!!

Good pizza and decent beer menu in little ole' Floyd. We met relatives here and had dinner on a Friday. There was a big crowd but the service was good for having 10 people. I made my own pizza with pepperoni meat and cheese and spinach. Good crust, kinda salty and nice flavor, compliments of the marinara sauce and loved the goat cheese! The beer menu had three sections but surprisingly the first section is the only one you can order from until that one is tapped. Weird but that's the procedure. However they did have about eight options of styles of beer. The music was not on until 8 so we didn't hear the live band. Street parking available or you can park and walk nearby.

He Said: Jalapeno Poppers and a build-your-own pizza with sausage and onion were really good. Great dough, really good toppings. They have plenty of local and semi-local beers and a great atmosphere. I appreciate a place that can attract lots of locals and still be welcoming to everyone. If you're in the area or reasonably near this is a must-visit. She Said: He covered the necessary points for the meal, and I'll just add that we enjoyed the vibe, the bartender was friendly enough, and this is definitely the best pizza I've had in the New River Valley. Potty Points: 4 out of 5. Clean enough!

The pizza and salad were amazing. The appetizers were solid and the wings were ok- bar food-wise. The drink menu was wonderful and you can't beat the atmosphere of friendliness. The restaurant and porch ( beautiful porch area) are clean and well cared for, thank you staff and owner! My rating was for the fact that we had finished our salad and pizza when the paltry portion of wings arrived for our 3rd person in our party ( he had our food while he was waiting, so nobody starved) to eat for dinner. It was 6 wings and the server made a flippant joke and walked away. That is not acceptable, especially from a small and cozy town like Floyd. We didn't argue and just paid the bill, but thought it was poor thinking on the server's side to not adjust or offer our person some amends for his wings coming 30 minutes after ours.

This pizza is worth the trip. Whether you are a Floyd local or travel here for the food you won't be disappointed. My fave is the Paisan. The best! Honestly though, they are all great.

Not the only pizza place in town, but the only none chain pizza place in town. Well worth the expense and the service was great. Was here at lunch on a weekday and it wasn't crowded. My only complaint was that the music was a little too loud but the choice in music was awesome. This whole town is a little jewel tucked away in the Virginia mountains. I would eat here again and again.
