I haven't been able to get in and try this place until today. I placed a pickup order and was notified at the estimated time that my pizza was ready. The staff was friendly and vibing and knew exactly what my order was when I gave them my name, prior to even grabbing the order. They handed it over and made sure everything was as ordered before we even took the order off the counter. I don't know if I've ever had a "perfect" pizza, but holy smokes, they nailed it. We enjoyed a whole pie of the Classic, as well as the triple garlic brown butter knots. The crust was chewy, sauce robust, and toppings exceptional (you can't go wrong with cup n char pepperoni!). If you like garlic, the knots provide the same quality, chewiness as the pizza crust with loads of garlic. This will be on rotation just as often as the owner's other knockout Detroit-style pizza spot, R Town Pizza. The ambiance definitely throws New York pizza counter vibes and is very welcoming. read more

OK, I am a pizza snob. I would sooner not have pizza than have a bad one. I still mourn the day True New York Pizza closed. That was a loss Reno still hasn't fully recovered from. That said... Dough Cheese Sauce is legit. It has risen to become the best pizza in Reno. Is it perfect? No. But right now, it's the best we've got, and that matters. I usually base my pizza ratings on one thing: a plain cheese pie. If you can't make a great cheese pizza, you can't make anything else great. It's the foundation. This was actually the first time I ordered a second slice to go along with it -- the white pizza. I'll get to that. The cheese pie: the cheese is good, the sauce is good, although I think the sauce could use a little more seasoning and spice. The biggest thing holding it back from greatness is the crust. Just like the bread can make or break a sandwich, the crust can make or break a pizza. The dough needs a little more life -- more air bubbles, a little more structure, and mostly another 3-4 minutes in the oven. I will request that next time. The current bake is right where you'd expect for a slice shop pie, especially one designed to be reheated before serving. But for a fresh whole pie, it needs just a little more time to reach that next level. Now, the white pie. I ordered this almost as an appetizer because I knew the cheese pie was going to take the 15 minutes they told me it would. They said I would get a text when it was ready. I didn't. (More on that later.) The white pie was stellar. The addition of lemon? Brilliant. It sounds simple, but it completely changes the flavor profile and cuts through the richness perfectly. I let my wife try it, even after she told me she was full. Two big bites later, I think that review spoke for itself. Interestingly, the extra reheating the slice got actually solved some of the crust issue I mentioned above. That little extra oven time made a noticeable difference. Now, the part they need to fix. I waited the expected 15 minutes for the text saying the order was ready. Nothing. Twenty minutes... still nothing. It was lunch time, so I gave them some grace. Twenty-five minutes. Thirty minutes. Thirty-five minutes later, I finally went back inside. "Oh, here you are..." The pizza was sitting there. What should have been a hot pizza -- the kind where you immediately take a bite and have to blow on the roof of your mouth so you don't burn yourself -- was not. It was still good, but this is the part of the system that needs attention. If you're telling customers they'll get a text when it's ready, that timing matters. Fresh pizza is a very time-sensitive thing. In the end, I gave it 5 stars. Not 4. Would I have liked to give it a 4.5 or 4.75? Absolutely. And those would round up to 5 anyway. Because even with the things that need tweaking, this is the best pizza Reno has right now -- and I'll happily go back. read more

Pretty quick service for a long line after a downtown music festival. It's New York style pizza with an option of slices or full pies. If you get a slice it is reheated. I got the classic and the pizza of the month but this was in the last hour of business so it honestly wasn't very good. Definitely would have to retry for a whole pie or come earlier when the slices are more fresh. Really enjoyed the drink selection and the whole vibe of the place. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely will be back to try a fresher pie but until then, 3 stars. read more

Stopped by while waiting for a hair appt--ended up picking up more slices after the appt for dinner. White pizza was delicious--the dough had a good chew and the lemon added a nice bright burst that cut through. Want to check out their other flavors next time I'm in Mid-town. read more

Have been blown away every time I've dined at R Town, so I went into Dough Cheese Sauce with high expectations and they were still exceeded!! We got a full pie of Gabagool and it was delicious! They were slammed in there as well, so I'm glad that we ordered online, I would recommend it if you're trying to get a whole pizza. The vegan hot honey was very interesting! It doesn't exactly taste like honey, it's got more of a vinegar taste to it, but it still went great on a slice. The parking situation can be a little difficult down there but it is midtown so, that's how it is. But there is a small parking lot and lots of surrounding street parking. read more

Best pizza in Reno hands down. Was a little expensive for 2 larges but man it was worth it! The staff was super cool and they sell by the slice! It's a pick up and go but they are attached to an arcade with tables. Music blasting and the staff was having fun. If you're visiting def grab a slice or a whole pie! They nailed the extra mushrooms for my lady! Thank you guys! read more

Came here on a Friday night. Was nervous with the Blues Brews festival, that would be crowded, nope. Plenty of parking spots, very chill vibe inside and friendly staff. Pricing is excellent for a slice ($5.20 for pepperoni) Cooked fast and HOT. Tasted amazing, and ranch was unique. Teriyaki wings came with green onions on them, fyi if you don't like those. They were standard, but nice to have another pizza slice joint. Will be back! read more

This place is really good! I didn't know it was connected to Press Start. They had lots of options ready to go. The white pie slice was my favorite. I could easily order a whole pizza of that, lol. Oh and the BEST garlic fries!!! I can't even tell you how amazing they are with ranch. It's a grab and go spot. You can go next door with your food too just know it might be more limited seating. The ingredients were super good and just a good slice of pizza. The service was nice. Cool spot for a slice next to an arcade. I know this won't be my last visit! read more

I am a sucker for a slice of pizza and this place rivals our favorite slice, Pizza my Heart. The White Pie was everything I could've dreamed of, fresh and bright flavors, perfect lemon slice baked in, ricotta melted tying all the flavors together. I am not a huge fan of red sauce but my husband had me try a bite of his and boy does your red sauce shine as well!! The wings were perfectly cooked, loved the peach BBQ!! Everything came out quick and piping hot! read more

I thought Dough Cheese Sauce was going to be a hit but it unfortunately was not. I would compare their single slices to the taste of pizza at Whole Foods--although cheaper at Whole Foods. They also offer full size pizza, for an insane price. This place is a pass. read more

I was stoked to try this pizza when I learned the owner of R Town was behind it! While I love his Detroit style, I also love a good New York style slice. I thought the quality and flavor were excellent! We were even given an extra slice because they decided one of our was too small - great service! I'm excited to see what menu items they add later. The space is quite small, but I like that. It's nice to have a spot in town, that's walkable, to pop in for a quick slice, especially open a little later on the weekends. Midtown is missing that. I am hoping they can add some more outdoor seating though; they JUST opened, so I'm not knocking stars for that. read more

Dough Cheese Sauce - White Pie - Pizza Near Me - Reno, Nevada

New York style pizza is my favorite so I've been excited to try this. The restaurant is casual with counter service and a few tables inside and in front of the restaurant and I would imagine it's going to be more popular for takeout. Service was prompt and friendly. All the pizzas looked good and love that you can buy by the slice. We had pepperoni, the midtown and white pie. The white pie was amazing, loved the midtown but the pepperoni was too greasy for me. However I liked the spice level of the pepperoni. We also had a salad, wings with peach bbq and the brown butter knots. Salad and wings were both very good-just wish the knots had been baked longer but I put in the air fryer at home for a few minutes and they were really good. I'm going to be returning for more of the white pizza-not like anything I've ever had! So glad this restaurant opened. read more

It was good. I wouldn't say the best pizza in Reno but it was good. Went when it was newly open so it took a bit longer to get slices reheated. The pep was a bit too greasy for me but the cheese with basil one was good. Also, super random but they have the best gluten free brownie. read more

We got the White Pie and the Brown Butter Garlic Knots, and both were amazing! I love a white pie, but usually get burnt out quick due to how rich it typically is. The addition of the lemon slices is a game changer! It added such a nice acidity that really cut the creamy/cheesiness well! The knots were also great - they definitely aren't skimping on the garlic, which I love! I can definitely see us coming back soon! read more

Dough Cheese Sauce - White Pie - Pizza Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Pizza by the slice NY style! Big 18" pies. They will have wings and other apps in the future. This is the second pizza concept from Marvin of R-Town Pizza, featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. The "White Pie" is olive oil, mozzarella, shaved lemon, ricotta and black pepper. This is the winner, it will make your toes curl. The Gabagool uses a mix of artisan ingredients and was our second favorite. They use the cupping pepperoni. Every slice has been a chef's kiss! The official opening is on the 30th of March. Great staff. read more

Sooooo goooooood! Idk even what things were called but the one with the lemon and the one with the meats. Fire. Delish. My kid smashed a cheese one too, although you can't always trust that guy. In this case he's right on though. A little tough with two littles because seating is scarce but just expect that going in or get it to go and you'll be all set. Keep up the good work team! read more

Another banger from the Pizza Tycoon of Reno. Such a good slice in every bite. The crust is soft and not too hard perfect for dipping ranch into. This is the spot for a slice and smile. Small intimate spot but seating outside and next door at the arcade. Perfect date night spot. Vegan options as well! read more

Small pizza shop next to the Press Start arcade. It was quite busy with a line at the register and many waiting for their pizza. I ordered a Brighton slice which is sausage, pepperoni, and ricotta. The wait was a little long, taking a little over 20 minutes, but the customer service was friendly despite coping with the rush. It was a good slice, I think the ricotta detracted from it a little bit, but great ingredients and flavor. Most slices are good value and hover around $4-6, a great pairing with the arcade. I'll definitely be back all the same. read more

Visit occurred earlier in April. Ordered 4 slices to share, and the ingredients and flavor didn't disappoint! We had the Brighton, Gabagool, The Deli and the White Pie. I was particularly impressed with the sweetness of the "hot honey" on the Gabagool and the spiciness of The Deli. My only critical feedback is the dough on one of the slices wasn't cooked all the way so that was unfortunately a bit disappointing, Hope to try more slices soon! read more

Meh, I don't like reheated pizza. They make the pizza and then it sits there all day, until you come along, and they warm it back up for you. Gross. I don't know where these other people have been eating pizza at, that this is the best they've had lol it was super dry and got cold and tough and chewy. I couldn't even finish it, I was so annoyed about the time and money I wasted. The only reason they get 2stars is because I really love Press Start. read more

Dough Cheese Sauce - Dry and hard @ss pizza - Pizza Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I was really excited for this one. I've watched what they built at R Town over time and it turned into one of my favorite spots in Reno. Service improved a lot, NA selection is always strong, and the pizza there has been consistently great. So when I heard they were opening a sliceria in the neighborhood, I was all in. They took a bit longer than expected to open which I actually thought was a good sign. More time to dial things in. Stopped in and here's where I landed. The fundamentals are there. Ingredients are high quality, dough has good potential, and service was excellent. But the biggest issue was the bake. The slices were a bit undercooked. Not just preference, it lacked the structure and finish you want. That immediate crisp, set, cohesive bite just wasn't there, which really holds everything back. Style-wise, this is not East Coast slice pizza. If that's what you're expecting, it's not that. It leans more West Coast. Think Tony's, Apollonia, Pizza Rock. A bit more composed, a bit more intentional. But even within that lane, execution just wasn't fully there yet for me. Nothing bad. Just not hitting the way you want when you're standing there eating a slice. That said, I believe in what they're doing. The base is strong, and if the bake gets dialed, this could be a really solid neighborhood spot. I'll definitely be back. read more

What a find. Thin crust with delicious toppings. Clever combinations that really work. The sliced peach one with hot honey is unique and unbelievably tasty. We also had the lemon one with ricotta which was light and very very good. Just the right pizza with this heat. Chopped salad was basic yet was elevated with the crunchy garbanzos. And to my surprise the ranch was made with dill and I cannot believe two of my faves are together in one holy dressing. Yes. It's that good. Needs to be consecrated LOL. I could go on and on. I really recommend this pizza place. Thank you! read more

Best.Pizza.Ever. Honestly though, this place has kinda ruined all other pizza for me because other pizza aspires to be as tasty as the pie from Dough Cheese Sauce. Tiny little weak slices of pie looking up to a slice from Dough Cheese Sauce like a child having a poster of a superhero on their wall. It isn't the pizza Reno deserves but the pizza it needs right now. I'm not even hungry right now but I'd gladly wolf down a classic slice right now if I had more. read more

Amazing pizza! Not about of seating, but worth the stop in and pick up even. Some of the best pizza I've had. We visited on a weekend evening and ordered the classic and the gabagool. Both were hot, fresh, cheesy and delicious. We only waiting about 20 min for the order. It's connected tot he arcade next door in case your group want an activity to go along with the pizza. Some small inside eating places in the arcade as well, just a bit noisy. read more

The service was great. However the pizza wasn't great. We have wanted to eat here since we discovered they just opened. We finally made it! The pizza is all sitting there and the turnover was low so we got old pizza. Old meaning not just made. So when they reheated it, it made it hard and the cheese was hard. No happy gooey cheese. I was not able to finish. I really hope this isn't how it always is. I don't want my cheese hard and toasted. It needs to be soft and warm and cheesy! read more

While not truly a New York style pizza, it is one of the best pies in the Reno/Sparks area. You can order by the slice, or get one of their humongous 18" pizzas. We ordered The Midtown to go, but had to share a slice on the drive home. My wife and I couldn't wait to have another slice. The toppings were delicious and the pizza was cooked to perfection. What added to the experience was the greeting we got when we entered their small, but nicely decorated store. The pies are big enough to feed at least four very hungry people. Definitely coming back to try their other pies. read more

Im a Newyorker, kind of a gatekeeper on Pizza. This place has a nice touch on their pizzas, usually I complain about ingredients you wouldnt usually find on pizza, BUT the White Pizza here is FIRE.

Man, I don't use Yelp very often so reading some of these reviews really made me yell at the screen lol. Loved the one where the guy was complaining a SLICE didn't stay hot enough to make it across town to his wife's work. Come on, DCS, stop being a slave to the laws of thermodynamics! Is there a bigger oxymoron in the history of the world than the term, "elite yelper"? Pizza here is awesome. The chick that was working the counter was super friendly and warm. Just got good vibes being in there. That says a lot. The pizzas are massive too and at a good price. Slightly more expensive than Pizzava down the road, but way better and way bigger. (No hate Pizzava. Love yall). However, I begrudgingly agree with a couple of the annoying AF complainers that the pizza was a tad underdone. Just slightly. And it isn't the biggest deal because the dough here is some of the best dough I've ever had. Like, literally even just the all crust bites are good. And I spent most of my adult life in San Francisco, so I know ball. This has become tied for best normal pizza in town with, Smiling with Hope. If it was cooked a hair longer, it might even surpass them. Which is cool because my favorite non normal pizza is R-Town. This company now has a monopoly on my pizza consumption. Here for normal. There for when I want to put on my white rimmed sunglasses, bleach my tips and eat a chonky big boy pizza in flavor town. Just go here. It's dope. Play some games next door while you wait. I mean, what's better than pizza and a fricken arcade. The answer is nothing. The dream of the 90's is alive in Midtown. I dunno, do what you want I guess. I'm just saying its not a bad idea. read more

Service was friendly. Interior is clean but a little chaotic because the arcade has direct access. Expect to wait 5-10min for a slice of pizza but that may improve as the location matures.

Dough Cheese Sauce - Midtown - Pizza Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Tried one of Reno's newer pizza spots that's been getting some local buzz, and it definitely has that laid back Midtown hangout feel. The space is compact, super casual, and the arcade games give it a fun neighborhood vibe that makes it easy to settle in. We went with two 18 inch New York style pies, the Midtown and a Tomato option. First impression, you can tell they're using solid ingredients. Everything tasted fresh, which is always a good sign. Where it lost me a bit was in the bake. Parts of the Midtown came out a little too dark, with a crust that leaned more crunchy than that classic foldable, chewy texture. The flavor also skewed on the saltier side with a bit of extra oil. The Tomato pie was the vegetarian pick, and options are a little limited if you don't eat meat, so just something to know going in. This one had a lighter, slightly sweet flavor with a hint of spice, but it didn't have as much depth as expected. The toppings were chopped pretty fine, which changed the texture, and it ended up tasting more like a simple cheese slice than something super herby or garlicky. Pricing sits in the $20-$30 range, which feels a little high at first, but these are full 18 inch pies so you are getting a decent amount of food. Still, for that price, you want the bake to be more consistent. Overall, it feels like a spot that's close to hitting its stride. The foundation is there with quality ingredients and a cool concept, but refining the crust would really pull everything together. I would be open to giving it another try down the line, especially to see how it evolves. read more
