I am going to be the outlier here and say that I was pretty obsessed with Doughbar pizza lol. And I don't think the prices were insane. It was luxury pizza with indulgent toppings for $20-25. Could easily feed 2-3 people, so less than $10/per person. Their pizzas were so good we literally brought all visitors there any chance we could bc we loved it, and everyone we brought loved it too. Don't even get me started on the whipped ricotta!!! And their thick crust was sooo good.

I think the bigger issue here was the size of the space, as some others have mentioned, and general economic challenges with supply chain and inflation hitting small businesses hard. Also saw 2 commenters say they worked for the owner previously and he's shitty and doesn't know how to run a business.

I just wanna defend their food bc I loved it a lot and will be sad to see this go, lol.

100% agreed, always brought friends and family here. The Bianco was incredible as was the Crispy Cups pepperoni. Was the pizza expensive? Of course. But it was super good. Everyone I brought there said it was some of the best pizza they've had, especially for Pittsburgh.

Aahhh!! Yes! So glad to see another Doughbar stan lol I feel like I'm going crazy reading these comments!! The bianco was sooo good. Tbh I tried most of the pizzas and every one was very very good. And truthfully I don't even think it was expensive, I mean it's expensive for pizza but also you aren't getting just a plain cheese pizza there. I feel like most people bashing the prices are comparing doughbar to a normal pizza shop where you get red sauce, one cheese type and maybe a topping. Doughbar had multiple types of cheese, multiple toppings, and different base sauces. So good!

I feel like most people bashing the pizza haven't actually had the pizza lol. Because yeah I haven't had something from there I didn't like. I think a lot of pizza in the area is suuuuper cheesy which is different from Doughbar so I guess that might be where people are coming from.
