We finally got the chance to stop in at Dough Daddy Brewery and were so glad we did! From the sound of it, this place gets busy during the summer and Fridays/Saturdays when they have live bands. We went on a rainy Wednesday afternoon, but there were still several other tables filled with hungry (and thirsty) guests. We sat at the bar and Lauren was AWESOME. She was super attentive and answered any questions we had about the menu and the brewery itself. I tried their sour beer (zungenbrecher papa with plum) and my husband got a flight of 4 beers. Everything was delicious. We also tried the mommy juice cocktail with pomegranate. We learned their syrups are all made in-house, which I love! We ordered the Van Veslor 4 cut pizza. I love all the different names and descriptions for the food. It adds a unique and personal touch. The pizza itself was incredible. The crust was light and airy but the edge was crispy! The toppings were fresh and plenty. One piece was pretty filling. They have a merch store inside the brewery with a nice selection. I love the little thrifted section with pitchers, glasses, and more! You can also find some special ice cream in the cooler. We are already planning our trip back. We had a great experience and can't wait to stop in again!

I was nervous about trying Dough Daddy Brewing, I had just read a bad review a few days before I went there. I'm glad I didn't listen to the review. The seating area is very open. There was a band playing, so we tried to sit further away rather than up front. Good band that night. Our waitress was very friendly and went over the menu with us. When our pizza came out, even though it was a Sicilian pizza, the dough was light and airy. I am very glad I went. I even went back with a couple of family members who came up from out of town. They truly enjoyed it too! I hope you give it a try, I did, and I'll definitely be going back again.

Dough Daddy Brewery is a new business where Strange Roots used to be. The service was ok. It seemed that the bartenders got overwhelmed with a crowd which is understandable but definitely could have been more friendly. The outdoor space is awesome, plenty of seating (in and out of shade). They had live music while we were there & it's dog friendly. Parking - The gravel lot fills up pretty quickly as there's not a ton of spots for a location quite this large. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back for the beer/cocktails. I would, however, absolutely come back for the pizza and atmosphere! We had the Purple and White Trail Loop pizza and it was to die for. I'm still thinking about it. The crust was so light and fluffy with a nice crunch. The toppings were piled high and delicious. A full sized pizza easily fed 4 hungry adults. We tried the following drinks - Dough Mommy Mango Seltzer, Dough Mommy cocktail, Uno Mas Cerveza, Hazy Dough Dazy IPA. Unfortunately no one in our group was thrilled with any of these drinks. Hopefully it gets better over time.

I was so excited to check this spot out!! There's soooo much outdoor seating, some with shade and some without. Bring all of your friends here to enjoy great food and beverages while the weather is still nice! Don't worry, if it's raining there is a bar and indoor seating available as well! I'm not a beer drinker, so I indulged in the Mommy Juices, you could pick from peach, blueberry, or strawberry. These went down like water. Delicious! The truffle fries were perfectly crispy and flavorful. And the PIZZA!! The slices are massive. We got 4 slices of The Point and 4 slices of the White and Purple Trail Loop. I truly can't decide which I enjoyed more. Between 2 people, we had enough for leftovers the next two days and put some in the freezer for a rainy day. Staff here was extremely friendly and interactive, can't wait to go back!!

Well, as of last Tuesday, I embarrassingly had never heard of Dough Daddy Brewery. I tried their hazy IPA at the Pittsburgh Pirates game at PNC Park, which I might be a bit biased in calling the best park in the majors. Four days later, we visited the brewery, where we enjoyed their truffle fries and amazing pizza--though I had mine without cheese, which is a new development for me. The beer was fantastic. I had the Pale Ale and the Blackberry Seltzer, which was spectacular, especially since I'm usually not a seltzer fan.The pizza is extremely good and some of the best pizza that I've ever tried, even with no cheese it was still sensational. Even though I didn't try more than 3 beers, I enjoyed what I drank.

Finally got a chance to try out this new brewery. It was a Monday eve and not busy so we had a chance to look around. There is a nice outdoor space with fire pits as well as a covered pavilion. Sat inside as it was a rainy evening. Our server was very helpful with our food and beverage questions since it was our first time here. I had the American IPA and my wife tried a hazy one. We decided on Pizza since that is the specialty and chose the "Three Rivers" pie which features three sauces - a tomato, a pesto and vodka. I think the style is Detroit with the sauce on top. Enjoyed the beers and food and looking forward to another trip back. We're told they have music on Fridays and Saturdays but I would check to confirm. Also saw 'gluten friendly' items on the menu.

We were happy to see someone move into the space that Strange Brew vacated last year, and we've been down to the newly opened Dough Daddy a couple times now.They're affiliated with / owned by Caliente, the local pizza chain. They brew a lot of the beers available at Caliente. Hazy Dough Dazy is a really nice middle of the road IPA (not to sweet/citrisy, not high ibu) and my go to at Caliente and now Dough Daddy. They have quite a few brews on tap here though.Right up front: the beer is like 4.5 stars. The food is like 3, at least the couple times I went. I weighted the beer more since it's a brewery, but with a name that implies some awesome pizza, there's room to improve so overall it's probably more like a 3.5 . Rounded up to 4 since they're new and I think there is potential.The good:- great beer and a wide selection of varieties- They maintained a lot of the layout and aesthetic that made strange brew cool- It's still mostly a brew pub with a limited menu- Service is friendly and promptThe okay:- The food. The menu, in writing, looks GREAT. Awesome descriptions of thick crust Sicilian pies with curated pies, and the paninis sound incredible on paper. The first time we went we got one. I'll post a pic. It was underwhelming. But also, not terrible. Just small and kind of weak considering the price and description. Overall the food gets the jobs done.- Wings - great flavor, not great execution.The opportunities:- For the food, I don't know if they have a full kitchen back there, or if they will one day. Seems like the pizzas at least are prebaked and get assembled in and baked again. The pizza has some room to improve. It's not bad. First time it was okay but kind of bland. Second time, the flavor overall was better, but they scorched the bottom of the crust. - We got wings this time. The flavor was really nice, and they were nice and juicy. However... they were not crisp or browned. Like they were baked but not at high enough temp to crisp them up. A lot of floppy skin with the fat not rendered. Not sure if they were fried or baked. They did taste good though.Summary:Anyway, the place is a nice atmosphere, the outside area is nice (as it was when it was Strange Brew), and the beer is great. My only gripe is that the food really needs to be stepped up a little. I have high hopes they'll keep improving and have a successful future here. They've only been open a few weeks. It's nice to have in the area, and we'll be back. Especially for beer. I'll update if anything changes.

One of my new favorite places! Great beer and the food choices and quality were amazing! I had the pulled pork panini and my wife had the small pizza. Both were excellent! They have a ton of outdoor seating and indoor seating! It's a walkup and order kind of place, but the service was very fast and friendly. Very clean too. Would definitely recommend!

Met a friend for lunch on a Monday. I respect the fact that everyone needs a break, but it is also nice that they're open for lunch on Monday when many other places aren't. We were the only customers, and the bartender was also our server. He was very friendly and helpful with pizza and beer recommendations.We had the "purple and white" pizza, with pepperoni, sausage, burrata, basil, and hot honey. It was amazing. Their pizzas are deep dish, so they're also incredibly filling, and my friend and I each took several pieces home for family.We tried two of their beers, and they were also very good. I had one of the IPAs. I can't remember the name, but it's brewed with pineapple. The pineapple was subtle, and still allowed the hops and pine to come through. I'll definitely be going back to try more.

Beer was good with many styles available! Was able to try the West Coast IPA, the vanilla porter, and Light Lager. Bbq pork nachos and The Thick Sicilian pizza were a hit as well. Nice updates to the space formerly operated by strange roots. I like the new umbrellas on the outdoor tables for more shade! Lots of kids and dogs outside on opening weekend.We had great service from the staff as well. No complaints from my family's first visit! We're looking forward to some more great summer hangouts here!
