Dough Head Pizza

Had to give this place a try; I really liked it but probably picked the wrong pies. We tried the mortadella grandma style and the veggie round. Both had fresh ingredients but lacked a good, flavorful sauce. Bread was elite though. Homemade broccoli cheddar soup as a side was a good surprise.

We've had the Grateful Veg, OK Boomer, and the pepperoni. All have been great - we are people who like alot of veg on our veggie pizzas, mist places lately think that a mushroom pizza consists of 2 shrooms cut up and spread out. Dough Head has so many shrooms they fell off! What a delight!!

This place was a pleasant surprise, to be sure. The slices are very nicely sized, and the quality and taste is no joke, either. For 4.50, it’s definitely one of the better slices I’ve ever eaten. The sauce tastes fresh, the crust is put together well with a nice thinness, and overall everything comes together for a solid slice that I rate a 4.5/5. If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll definitely come back.

Definitely one of my favorite pizzas in Philly, fantastic pizza. My only thing is I miss the thicker style Grannie Pannie. The thin style is still super tasty but I'll miss the older thicker version they used to make.

Got pizza and desert delivered from here, and it was very tasty! I’d also recommend the cookie pie dessert thing. Very fluffy and smooth filling and balanced well with the crumble. For pizza we got the Reverse Cowgirl and the Abe Froman. Delicious 😋

Nice thin and crispy crust. The crust has good flavor. Good sauce and cheese. Very solid pizza spot.

Currently on a search for best pizza in Philly. Dough Head was amongst the top recommended. We grabbed a City Wide pizza which is pepperoni and sausage. The pizza was quite good. The toppings were flavorful and plentiful, and as the name suggests, the dough was a high point as well. I would give another pizza a try on the next visit as they have some creative pizzas. All in all, would recommend.

Update: tried it again (upstairs neighbor) and it was not burnt and was delicious. Will come back. Wouldn’t mind giving them another chance and upping my score because the cheese, sauce and pepperoni were fantastic but just about every slice of the pie was burnt to a crisp. For $25, I would hope for some quality check.

Holy absolute heck. This pizza was suggested to me and I rolled my eyes thinking "great, another allegedly 'good' pizza place." However one bite in and I'm like 'damnnnnn' How this place balances the perfectly crispy and cheesy and crunchy and saucy and everything, I'll never know. Ordered the square "Grannie Pannies" with pepperoni (which, first of all, ew for a name of a pizza but whatever) and was truly impressed. Is it very expensive? Yes. But sometimes you want just shitty takeout pizza and sometimes you want to treat yourself. Dough Head? TREAT YO SELF. Plus, they have those pepperoni cups

Had a pretty tough time deciding on which two pies to go with as there are so many similar-ish options but each with their own character. Ultimately asked for help and went with Dough Joe & Grannie Pannies Dough Joe: I'm a huge white pizza guy and this was just okay. I surprisingly felt like the ricotta was too soft to hold up the rest of the pizza in terms of overall texture. The garlic spinach was a nice touch. The sausage was fine-really nothing overly special. The crust is good but there's a LOT of it. We ended up buying extra marinara sauce and the garlic parm sauce for dipping-I really enjoyed the latter but some may find it a bit salty. Grannie Pannies: The thickness of this crust was key- a nice thinness without being too floppy. The sauce was nice. Added some of their garlic powder, chili flakes, and truffle hot sauce which really put this slice over the edge. I was actually quite surprised they had the truffle hot sauce in the condiment section-would recommend (it is HOT!). The prices for the pies were a bit of an eyebrow raiser but the pies were really sizable so I actually think they were quite reasonable. They don't have seating here but there are a few bars/brewery nearby you can venture to to eat.

Have I found a new pizza spot?? I think so! Ordered delivery for a Elon crust and garlic knots. First of all, I can never say no to a spot with awesome pizza names and the variety is unmatched!!! When I got the large pizza, the box was HUGE which let me know immediately that I'll get my $$ worth. You can choose to have your pizza "well done" aka a good char on the crust but not burnt. Dough Head def understood the assignment on that one too. The pizza was ahmazingggggg with a good balance of cheese and sauce. Also, hats off to the garlic knots because it tasted like somebody put they back into it! I have no choice at this point but to go back and try their other pizzas too!

I was blown away by Dough Head. Having lived in NYC, one of the meccas of pizza, my expectations are high! My love with this pizza spot began when I noticed their extensive, fun menu via uber eats. I was a little weary because it is on the pricey side, but they have a large selection of unique pizzas! I chose the Upstairs Neighbor which had caramelized onions, pepperoni, mozzarella, and a heavenly drizzle of chipotle honey. BLOWN AWAY. The crust was crispy as were the pepperoni. It was just simply perfect in every way. My curiosity got the best of me so I had to get RPG (Ranch, Parmesan, and Garlic) sauce. What an amazing addition to an already amazing culinary experience. Lol! The only thing I didn't love was the cucumber feta salad but that was probably because of my own taste buds. It was a little too tart for me! I can't wait to order pizza again though!!

This is a very good pizza spot, I did order it to my house which admittedly is a bit far from the location so it's hard to fully assess how the pizza was before the transit. The flavors were very good and there was a good amount of pepperoni on the pie which is important. There were more garlic knots that I thought there would be and they were good but not life changing. Don't get my wrong this is a very good option for to go pizza; I just wish I was a bit closer for fresher delivery.

The crust on this pizza is great. It's crunchy yet chewy at the same time. And I did ask for it to not be too charred. I know it's not a common preference for pizza, but I'm not a fan of that burnt taste. And Dough Head accommodated my request perfectly! It was perfectly cooked and was absolutely delicious. Tons of toppings on this pizza, unlike a lot of other pizza places. A pizza did cost $28 (with taxes and fees), which is certainly on the higher side.

Fast service and kind employees, but I was not impressed with the taste of the pizza. The place is well kept and clean.

I had a takeout order cuz my brother saw that they were rated high by dave portnoy so we decided to give it a try. If you are looking for unique combination pizza done exceptionally well then this is the place for you. We ordered the Fig pizza, the beer belly, and the abe forman. All were super good with the crust being absolute perfection but the best was the beer belly pizza. It def has a unique look but the taste was so balanced and tasty that it's something I would def order again. The fig was good but did steer towards the sweeter side with the abe forman being exactly what it sounds like with super high quality ingredients.

We ordered a pizza and the pizza knots. The pizza knots were completely soaked, so wet that they were inedible.. the pizza didn't have the drizzle that comes on top. After walking back to get a side of the sauce and (after) returning the garlic knots we were told there's no refunds because no managers are present. So we paid for $8 pizza knots that we took 2 bites of and then gave back to the store.

Great quality pizza with a perfect crust and just the right amount of sauce, cheese, and toppings. I ordered the sausage and pepperoni, and I really liked how crisp the pizza was. It's also quite affordable for the size you get. While I do prefer another popular pizza spot in South Philly that I think has a bit more flavor, Dough Head Pizza is still a solid choice in the area.

I have had some really bad pizza in this city, and I've had some okay pizza too. However, this is the only pizza place I find myself going back to. Truth be told, I don't have the patience for Angelo's so I can't compare Dough Head to them (yet). Everyone on my street (mere blocks from Dough Head) order it too because I always see a box out on trash night. We love the dough mama (white pizza with crumbled broccoli) and the Olivia gluten John (chicken, sun dried tomatoes). You should go for their premade selections, rather than DIY because you'd be hard pressed to make something more delicious than their options. I've ordered online several times, and it's always ready on time. They recently started a rewards program too so now I can see how much of a fatty I'm really being by looking at my rewards!

The pizza and service are out of this world! Justin the manager and Joe the owner are great guys that go out of their way to help customers enjoy their experience. This is the best pizza in Philly!!

My complaint is about their prices. I've never tried Dough Head before, so today I ordered 2 desserts, to see how service and delivery went. The delivery was okay, but the portions of the 2 desserts, which were expensive at $9 and $10 apiece, were ridiculously small for what they charge. Their prices, in general, are much higher than other pizza places around them. I probably won't be ordering from them again, since there are other places I've used happily where prices are 15% lower and more.

First experience here was great! Very attentive staff, very tasty pizza! The place is clean. It's right next to my house, I should have come sooner. Bonus that this place is open late, till 3am.

Best pizza I've had so far in Philly. Great crust texture and really good flavor of the sauce because it's just pure crushed tomato flavor. I wish they had a pizza that just had fresh mozzarella as opposed to the cheese blend they use, but that's my personal preference. The rest of our group liked the cheese blend. All in all would go back!

Highly, highly recommend. This pizza had an amazing crust and the sauce was a very simple red sauce (not sweet). We also noted how large the pizza was given the price. The pick up was extremely quick and timely. Only thing was there wasn't really seating so something to note if you go

This pizza is fantastic! The dough is awesome. Great texture out of the oven. We got a couple of pies and weren't disappointed. What we didn't finish, we reheated and had the next day. And, unlike most pizza, this holds up great when reheated. Gotta give this 5 stars and 2 thumbs up! It's one of the best we've had. Definitely going back again!

I'm on the journey to try the top pizza places and Philly and started here. The crust is crispy with a slight char but not burnt, very well done. Pizza is not too floppy and the undercarriage cooked to the right texture. Flavor is great, right amount of sweet and tangy tomato. The garlic knots are amazing, so flavorful with a nice bite and not too doughy, hard to imagine a better knot anywhere else in the city. I'd put this place top 3 in Philly.

Been hearing lot about their pizza on lot of best ofs ( oh btw best ofs have poor taste buds more about whats hip in place .. lol) finally tried it as its on pricier side & honestly i wasn't impressed.. i mean yea somewhat tasty but for a place with dough in title i found it too cooked to point much of dough was heavy crunchy even burnt in parts & my jaws started hurt after 2nd piece.. got the square granny pie.. & order of garlic knots. Knots were bit dry seems nobody in philly knows how to kick up garlic knots ...dough head did a decent job w/chop up actual garlic some evoo sprinkle Locatelli blk pepper bit salt .. anyhow not sure ill try doughhead again.. got my favs in center city & in-our vicinity though sure wish angelos delivered..

If you like the crispier pizza and crust this is a place you'd like. Though some pieces could get a little burnt

Wow! I was walking by and had already eaten dinner and literally followed my nose towards the delicious dough fragrance being emitted.. we had to investigate! Wow, it looked and smelled delicious, so we ordered 4 slices (2 cheese, 2 pepperoni) to go for next day's lunch. I could smell a great slice and my nose never lied. The service was kind and hospitable and mentioned they opened about two years prior. Later that evening while escaping a thunderstorm without umbrellas and after arriving home, I was grateful the box kept the pizza dry. When I opened the box, I was surprised to see one pepperoni slice was mostly eaten as if a big mouse found it .. lol that big mouse was my husband who devoured most of the pepperoni slice, at room temperature. And he thought it was great! And so, I finished the slice to discover it was one of the best pizza slices we ever ate and not even heated! Wow, our foray into pizza eating in Philadelphia started off here and couldn't be a better start!! I grew up in Philly in the 80s and 90s and left in 2001 to return now over twenty years later and, wow, the food scene has exploded! It's always been a gem and now much more!!

I really want to rate higher but... Pizza prices these days are astronomical. I treat myself once a month to "expensive pizza" and expect that they'll deliver (good quality) pizza each time. I remember ordering dough head about a year ago and was blown away by the crust! (I am not a crust eating pizza person) This dough is best I ever had! My last 3 ordered I have been super disappointed. I spend $1 for extra sauce - they give me regular amount of sauce on my pizza. I spend $3 for extra pepperoni - they give me standard amt of pepperoni. Again- If I am willing to pay for this ridiculously expensive pizza ($43 after delivery & tip) but I expect there be to extra sauce and extra pep when it's asked for....

So good!!! Lots of competition in south Philly and this is a real gem! Just ordered delivery through DoorDash and it was really tasty! We got the Benny blanco and John dough! The Benny was garlicky in a good way and the sauce on the John dough was really fresh and flavorful. Seemed like quality ingredients will definitely order again and stop in for slices when I'm in the area. Solid place to pop in and get a slice if you are entertaining out of Towners who want try try pats or Genos!

Absolutely delicious pizza. I ordered it "well done" with a "little extra sauce" and they nailed it perfectly. Definitely will be trying more of their pizzas soon.

Nice pizza spot in the Passyunk area, right by Geno's and Pat's if you're not craving cheesesteaks. Each pie was about $25-$30 depending on what you ordered. We ordered the "I'm Rick James" which has a lot of meat on it. They were pretty generous with the toppings. We called in advance and picked up the pizza in about 30 minutes. Would go back and try other pies.

I've ordered a few times through Ubereats. I've enjoyed most of what I ordered, but didn't care for the garlic knots. The upstairs neighbor pizza, however is GOAT.

There were no plain slices which in my opinion is crazy. Pizza places should always have plain slices available.

Probably one of the best pizza places around the area. We did delivery which took about an hour or so to receive it. The dough is amazing and just hits the spot. The pizza is also loaded on toppings which makes the pizza flavorful . The one thing that I wasn't a fan of was the cheese. I would also recommend the garlic knots which were just so delicious!

Dough Head has great pizza. Dare I say, some of the best I've had in the city, but unfortunately, I had a terrible service experience. //EDIT TO ADD: we ordered The Karen Dough Head has a partnership with Catesian Brewing down the street, where you can order delivery directly to the brewery through a specialized QR code. We placed our order and it said it would take about 35 mins. No problem. 45 mins passed, so we decided to call to check-in with them. We called and the business apologized that they were busy, but upon checking on our order, assured us that our order went out for delivery and should be there shortly. We continued to wait. Another hour passed and the brewery was closing so we closed our tab, and decided to walk over to Dough Head. When we got there, we explained who we were and asked about our pie. He remembered that we had called and looked at his shelves where two pizza boxes were sitting. Our order was the bottom of the two and cold... he did not apologize, but rather told us that he "didn't realize this was a Cartesian order because I normally walks them over himself." All of which, still doesn't explain why a delivery pizza was left sitting there in any situation. So, 2.5 hours later, we got our pizza but was so turned off by the whole situation that if we weren't so hungry and it being so late, we would have asked for a new pie or refund. So, while they have great pizza, or maybe I was just hungry, this was a massive service mistake that really rubbed me the wrong way. Do better, Dough Head.

First time ordering, got the Jane Dough (pepperoni pie) and wow!!! Definitely one of the best pizzas I've had in Philly!! Highly recommended

Finally had some pizza from Dough Head tonight and it lived up to the good reviews. A pizza that felt worth the price. Great dough/crust. Quality ingredients. Creative, interesting flavors.

Just, very good pizza !surprized , when I saw it! Didn't know it existed til I drove by it.

I ordered Dough Head for pickup to bring to a nearby brewery that has a BYO food policy. I placed an online order and it was ready for pickup about 20 minutes later. My friend and I split the Dough Mama (16" pie with broccoli crumble, whole milk mozzarella, roasted garlic EVOO, shaved romano, and house-made lemon garlic cream cheese drizzle). It was really tasty! I do wish the topping portions had been a bit more generous, but it was still solid. I would definitely try some other pies from here in the future.

Pizza knots were delicious! They had very fast service and good personality (kind of). The restaurant is a modern kind of pretty design. Only downside was that they forgot our drinks! They did give it to us, though. Super great! I do recommend ~ someone from louisville, ky.

Friendly service, clean shop. Excellent pizza. Crust was very flavorful. One of the best in the city.

Crowded area but the food was delicious and has great service. I got the pepperoni and marherita pizza.

I ordered Upstairs Neighbor and it was delishhh. It's an upgrade from regular pepperoni pizza because it had caramelized onion and honey chipotle drizzle so it had some spicy kick and smokiness. Definitely recommend this pizza. I'm looking forward to trying different kinds

Needed a late night meal after 11 pm. Decided to try DHP & it was phenomenal. Decided to create my own with the onions, garlic spinach & fennel sausage. It was the best pizza I've had in Philly EVER! Service was great too. The young man there was cool & gave suggestions and he was very polite. Ambiance gives quick run and out pizza shop.

A fine Alice and take out spot. Interesting how reviews are so varied. I felt it was ok

Living in the East Passyunk area, I was always curious what would occupy the space next to the Insomnia Cookies. I thought the idea of a pizza place that's open late would be a good way to cater to the burgeoning night life scene that exists in the area. My husband and I decided to try out the place by ordering from them for lunch. We were hoping to order some different slices because they offer by the slice or pie but they only had slices of the plain and pepperoni. We ended up going with the Abe Froman and Shroomin pies. Honestly, the pizzas were kind of bad. The dough was so burnt that the crust was just inedible. The ingredients on the dough left much to be desired; the ingredients and toppings listed for each pizza on the menu give the impression of fresh, local, and simple-yet-classic but really could have shined if there was only a little bit more salt. Would I go back? : Probably not. The pizzas fell short of my expectations. While it's possible that the pizzas may not have been as good because we went at a non peak time, I'd say there are better pizzas in the area that are consistently good like LaScala's Birra for example.

I came here strictly to leave a 5 star review because 4.4 for this place is criminal. It's legitimately some of the best pizza you'll get in Philadelphia, period. The owner himself was there working with everyone else, giving out orders, saying hello, making you feel like you're at a real neighborhood spot. Just go. Go now.

Brand new pizza Jawn. First impressions were alright, let's see what they got. Was very hard to get some pizza instead of a cheesesteak but I did. $4.12 for a slice with a $1 tip. I got a plain cheese slice and it was so tasty. Didn't make it to my house walking back with it. Will be back again, will order more.

Amazing pizza and great hospitality from the owner, Joe. The crust is extremely crunchy and airy the way it should be. 5/5 across the board

i was walking home from Columbus Square and saw a delivery guy dropping off pies to various addresses along 13th street and wondered where it came from so i looked on a stoop at the box and saw the name of the pizzeria, which i wasn't familiar with. I did a quick search and saw the good rating and wondered why it was somewhere i had never been. It was on my home anyway so decided to try and stop by for a slice. To my surprise it was a place i have passed numerous times but ignored cause of its location. I know that corner where pat's and geno's are is a landmark but it's like a tourist landmark not somewhere locals really go unless it's like after hours and it's one of your only choices. so i guess i sort of judged them unfairly due to the company they keep. Anyway I walked inside and all the slices looked really good. plus it was very clean inside and the staff was friendly and attentive and it just gave me a good vibe that brisk business was taking place, pies were getting made and new orders were coming in. Also they had a fresh plate of garlic knots in hand that i still am asking myself why i didn't order. But i have been trying to curb my daily carb overload and actually restrained myself. I ordered a slice of plain and a pepperoni, paid and patiently waited. Something happened that also I really liked that i don't see that often in a lot of places. They actually left my slices in the oven for a few minutes and let them cook instead of pulling them out seconds later barely heated through. They asked me if i wanted a box i declined took it on plates and continues my walk home. It was really nice weather and to be honest they don't really have anywhere to eat inside anyway. this is really just a pickup or to go spot no tables or counter space. It was well cooked, browned corner and undercarriage and just well done. The first few bites were really nice with some charred parts and it was crispy and chewy where it should be. The sauce had some tang and I detected some tang to the cheese as well that made me wonder if they were using something different than the regular mozzarella. Anyway i finished fast in the next block or two and was quite happy with the whole experience and will definitely be back. It's good to see another good spot pop up on the south side.

Had high hopes for this pie but it's just ok. Pretty pricey - paid for extra cheese and it just wasn't. Paying for a 4% technology fee was also lame. $30 for a pickup was just a plain no for an average pie.

I ordered pizza for takeout and I was so happy to have found another pizza place in Philly the actual makes good pizza. I am a pizza fanatic and find very few pizza really good. But Dough Head Pizza know what they are doing. I had gotten the French onion white pizza and it was fantastic. The crust was thin airy and crispy just how it should be. The caramelized onions were just perfect on the pizza. I can't wait to go back and get another pie!

Dough Head goes dummy. Love their pies. There's hella options across the board from diff sauces, to meats, to toppings. There really is a pizza there for everybody. The folks who work there are super friendly and helpful. It's obvious that they take pride in what they do and care about their standing in the community. One of south Philly's finest.

Absolutely love this place! I'm a tourist who blew into town from Minneapolis here for a graduation and needed some good food for a very picky child. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and some garlic nots and it was delicious!!! My picky 5 year old ate 3 slices!!! I will always remember this place every time I come back!!! Thanks for the great pizza!

Ordered the grandma pie via Uber eats. It didn't look at all like the photos online - the cheese was not melted and it was smothered in Parmesan. Tried to get in touch with doughhead via phone but no one picked up. Waste of $34 bucks.
