Dough, a pizzeria with diversity, so there is certainly something for everyone.

If you like homemade mozzarella, crisp tossed salads, antipasti, cured meats, or freshly tossed thin crust pizza then Dough is your type of place. We came across this inviting medium sized store about a month or two ago. We thought it was pretty good last time so decided to bring a few friends back to try more of their offerings. Normally we like to sit at the pizza bar to watch them in action, but we had 6 people this time so we just sat at the tables which makes it more convenient to share. This restaurant also has a full bar with a pretty wide selection of alcoholic products.

We were starving so we ordered 3 starters, 4 pizzas, and 1 dessert to share this time. To start of course we began out with our appetizers. They were pretty fantastic last time, so we have been raving about it to our friends. They were all pretty excited to try it.

We started our with our 2 orders of Spedini and their sampler which comes with garlic flat bread.

Spedini, oven-roasted house-made mozzarella wrapped in Prosciutto di Parma. We placed 2 orders of these just because it comes with 3 skewers of mozzarella wrapped in Prosciutto so it was perfect, each person gets 1. Underneath the skewers they give you a bed of nicely dressed fine lettuce to compliment. The warm salty cured prosciutto with the chewy and creamy mozzarella is really just a simple, delicious combo. Then you take a bite of the crisp and vinegary lettuce gives it a good finish.

The sampler comes with an offering of 3 of their mozzarella creations:

• Burricotti, House-made mozzarella with a herbed ricotta cheese filling and bluebonnet Farms baby greens. This was very soft and just kinda breaks in your mouth. This went great with the flat bread.
• Burrata Caprese, House-made mozzarella filled with a mascarpone-ricotta-truffle oil filling and heirloom tomatoes. The tomatoes were very sweet. The mozzarella balls was made well but I didn't really taste the truffle flavor, if it was not written on the menu, I would not have known it was there.
• Fior di Latte Stracciato, Creamy melted mozzarella cheese curd and a balsamic reduction with a slice of tomato to hold it up. The cheese was very creamy and the balsamic reduction gave it a touch of sweet and tart. The basil brighten it up the whole dish.

To pair these flavorful mozzarella selections, they give you a side of garlic flat bread drizzles with olive oil. The flat bread was crispy, warm, and still pulls apart with a touch of chewiness. Then you get this roasted garlic tidbits and good olive oil flavor. Take a piece of that and just dip it in the mozzarella goodness, you won't be sorry! We ordered an extra basket of flat bread at the end to soak up all the yummy olive oil left on the plate.

Then comes our pies.

Pork Love - Tomato sauce, house-made Fior di Latte, salami, sausage, pancetta & speck. We also added basil.

Margherita Pizza - Tomato sauce, house-made Fior do Latte, finished with Parmigiano Reggiano, and basil.

We also had the Pancetta Pizza and one of their specialty pizzas, the Preston Hollow which was topped with local italian sausage (which we've never heard of and are quite skeptical), tomato sauce, mozzarella, peppers, and caramelized onions.

We were all delightfully stuffed after all of this wonderful food, but we promised a fellow foodie that we would try and save room the polenta cake. He said that this dessert reduced him to grunts and moans, but we couldn't just take his word on it, we had to try it for ourselves. The Polenta cake is crisped in their wood burning oven in order to get some color and smokey flavor that made it special. We were afraid that the cake would be dry considering the main ingredient is polenta, but we were delightfully surprised at how moist and how well it mixed with the creamy and raspberry sauce that accompanied it.

Overall, Dough did not disappoint us and we were happy to be able to share this experience with our friends and guests from Oklahoma City. What more can you ask for in a pizzeria?  A wide variety and good quality ingredient, a good dough base, a flavorful tomato sauce, homemade mozzarella, and wonderful people to share it with.  We will be back. On our scale of 1-10, we would like to give Dough a 7.5 for value, taste, and consistency.
