Dough Boy’s is located in an old “strip mall” next to the Kenny Road Market (yay exotic beers) and U-haul rental spot. We ordered delivery, so I never saw the inside, but peeping in through the windows a couple times led me to believe they were straight on the cleanliness – and they had a green sticker.
The man was tasting for pizza, and I had a flyer. “Anniversary special! One large pizza any way you want it with an order of cheesy bread only $9.99!” WOW! What a great deal! They had left the door hanger about a week before that, so we called up to take advantage of the bargain… and that’s when my unhappiness began.
Upon ordering this super-awesome “Anniversary Special”, my man was told that it had ended on Memorial Day. Wait – didn’t Memorial Day happen in May? Why were they putting door hangers out almost two months after they expired? So we ordered a large pizza with five toppings – extra cheese not being included as a topping but rather costing $1.50 extra, was skipped – bacon, pepperoni, tomatoes, green peppers and onions. No cheesy bread because that was $4.95 extra and we weren’t trying to spend a whole lot. They quoted us 45 minutes to an hour (at five o’clock on a Sunday… apparently this is prime pizza time).
The one good mark Dough Boy’s gets is in time management. The pizza arrived within 20 minutes. I was thoroughly shocked. Bill: $11.49 - $9.49 + $2.00 delivery charge. Not bad, but not as great as that tantalizing Anniversary Special that had lured us in. The slogan at Dough Boy’s is “We load on the toppings!!” and in all fairness to my readers, don’t believe this false advertising. If by “load on the toppings” they mean toss them about randomly in a haphazard fashion so that only some slices have 2 toppings and some have 5, well then fine. But in my book, “loading on the toppings” means having lots of each topping on every single slice across the entire pizza. Ugh! There were no more toppings than any other pizza I’ve ordered from any other place. As for the size of the large, well, it was actually the size of a Pizza Hut medium. Seriously.
Overall, I was quite disappointed. It was a fine pizza, not great or spectacular, and I’d really like to know exactly who voted them best new pizza in Columbus
