I'll start by saying the highlight of my Doughbird experience was our waitress. She was so friendly, so patient, and so accommodating. She kept assuring us that all of our orders (despite having additions and removals) were not an issue for her at all, and she completely briefed us on the menu. She even told one of the people at my table that the salad she had ordered often got sent back, and suggested a different salad that would be better. In terms of food, most of what I tried was pretty good! I would say it's above your average pizza joint. In terms of pizza style, I like that they give the Detroit Style option. If you've ever been to Emmy Squared in Nashville, it's just like that, though Emmy Squared does it a bit better. It's a rectangular pizza with a super thick, fluffy base and very crispy edges. Delightful. If you're more of a purist, the handstretched crust is for you. Here's what I tried: -Roasted Tomato & Artichoke Detroit-Style pizza (+ caramelized onions and rotisserie chicken): 8/10 - It was good, I've had better. The base was delicious, and the edges of the piece were nice and crisped as they should be. i felt that there was too much cheese, and there was VERY little tomato sauce. The bites that I did get with the sauce (and the roasted red tomatoes) were delicious and flavorful, though. I regret adding the Rotisserie chicken to it, as it was pretty dry and came in fairly unmanageable chunks. Overall a good meal, and filling as well! -Broccolini: 10/10 - Well roasted, still had a bite to it. The sauce it came in was slightly lemony, and then it was all topped with parmesan for a little salty, umami addition. My brother and I ate it within seconds. -Mac 'n' Cheese: 6/10 - super creamy, but pretty flavorless. I love that they used fusilli (underrated pasta shape for mac), but the sauce needed to be more seasoned and taste more of cheese. My family members also got salads, which they seemed to enjoy. There was a resounding feeling that the wine wasn't great and was a little too warm, but you wouldn't expect your top-notch wine service here anyways. read more

This place has a wonderful ambiance. Love the interior styling. We got pizza and their bread sticks (wanted the mozzarella but it was out). The pizza was pretty decent, though could've used a bit more sauce. The bread sticks were great but cost as much as the pizza - value wise this place is just okay given the cost. But the food itself was pretty good. The service was also fantastic - little wait and had great beer recommendations. read more

Our daughter told us about this place and decided to give it a try. So glad we did. The service was top notch, very attentive and friendly. I had the most delicious chicken sandwich I have ever had!! So flavorful, juicy and huge ! I added pickles which they loaded on and the sauce was amazing too. My daughter had the chicken pot pie which was the best she has had. Flaky crust, huge pieces of chicken and a creamy sauce. My wife had the Detroit style pizza which she enjoyed. When we go back to Nashville, we will definitely be going back to Doughbird! read more

Service has sadly changed since they opened-the server was very rushed and even took the dessert from table before it was completed so he could take the check. Food was good but some items like the chicken strips tasted as if they had been under a heat lamp for a while. The server did not offer additional drinks. Does not feel like a team environment anymore and there is no longer anything t that sets this apart from another chain restaurant. Visit was Monday 3/13 at close (left at 9:05 pm when the restaurant still had a large number of tables). read more

Love this place! Went to Doughbird for the first time last night. We didn't have a reservation and got there at 6:30 on a Friday so it was packed but we were lucky enough to get to seats at the bar right away! Definitely seems like a family oriented spot but also a good place to go get a casual drink after work. The bar service was amazing! Our server Tim was awesome and on top of it even though they were super busy. The food was delicious! We did not try the pizza this time but the wings, sandwich, and salad were all great! Very reasonably priced for Nashville. 5/5 will definitely be coming back! read more

Doughbird - Chicken Avocado Salad - Comfort Food Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Visited Doughbird for a late-ish dinner on a Wednesday night and was seated immediately. Our waiter (and the service overall) was fantastic, super nice, very helpful. Decent local beer selection. We ordered the truffle cheese bread (sadly they were out of the mozzarella sticks) as an app and felt that they were fine. The pizzas can be ordered Detroit style or hand stretched, which is a cool feature. The Aviator pizza was packed with meat! Great crust, quite sturdy but not overly chewy. Needed a bit more sauce, so we ordered a side of marinara. Inside the vibe is very chill with modern decor. Nice spot to grab a slice. read more

This place needs help! Immediately!!! . Sam Fox, this place needs you to reorganize and reset. Managers have left for other jobs and the skeleton crew can barely keep it together. The place is dirty, and sometimes smells like a sewage leak. I have had numerous bad experiences here, too many to list here. The last straw was when I showed up for my Togo order that was ordered 40 minutes in advance. I arrived to see a line of 10 customers waiting for their orders as well. One employee was at takeout and didn't acknowledge a single person in line. She was completely overwhelmed with her expo tickets and almost started crying. This is not fair for employees or customers. The manager was clueless and didn't step in to help. She was drowning. I waited 15 minutes for any sign of acknowledgment. Still nothing so I moved around to the other side and talked to manager who said "Don't worry I got you" Well........ he forgot about me. So I walked out. I'm done with Doughbirds. Sam, as you know- if someone walks out of your restaurant because of issues at the restaurant., and it happens over and over, you're losing your product. This is not just my issue, it is shared with several other Nashville residents who have tried to put up with this restaurant. Sam please get your "A" team from Phoenix and reset this location. read more

Checked out this place last Thursday for girls night. To start off, we shared a pitcher of the sangria and it was delicious! One of my friends needed some caffeine and asked for an espresso martini that wasn't too sweet, and they were easily able to meet that request. For a starter, we got the cheese bread and it was yum! That was followed by the Detroit style bbq pizza and the margherita hand stretched pizza. Those were only okay. We felt like the bbq pizza was too sweet and the crust a little undercooked for Detroit style pizza and that the margherita pizza needed more flavor in the crust and sauce. We did love the ambiance though, so will probs be back for drinks and appetizers! read more

Reviews As far back as I can remember, this was a California Pizza Kitchen which lacked the trendy vibes & fun food variety of the new tenant. Although the pizza wasn't perfect, the wings, Brussel Sprouts, and butterscotch cake was on point. This layout bugs me though. Most folks will enter from the rear, but during high volumes expect to wait outside in a limited space, so reserve a table. Other minor annoyances, like the waiter not providing serving spoon for neither the sides nor our pizza. They also left the menus on the table which seemed wasteful since they appeared to be reusable based on the card stock & the catch all under the counter. Bathroom is small but nice, with a touch of class and a Dyson dryer. With a few tweaks, this place is poised to do well. read more

Tried Doughbird today and was pleasantly impressed. First thing I would say is get a reservation. The place is busy. The restaurant is very nice and there is plenty of space for larger parties. The food is good. We had a little everything. The wings were good and I recommend stepping out the box and trying the lemon garlic sauce. It's really good if you like garlic. Next we had the hummus and I was nervous about ir but it was good as well. The pizza comes in two options. Either Detroit style or hand stretched. We chose Detroit style. The pizza is a little small for the pics but is made with very fresh toppings. Overall I will be back to try some more food. read more

I was on my way to California Pizza Kitchen and low and behold it wasn't there anymore. Luckily I still found pizza! New Doughbird pizza opened today, just hours before my little adventure. How did I know? My server was friendly and I got seated right away. He recommended the Spicy Hawaiian pizza...I mean...do I look like someone who puts pineapple on pizza? Because I am... how did he know? Because of my controversial pizza preferences I am no stranger to dining alone. I was glad to be treated with the same courtesy as a larger group. I tend to be a big tipper...do you think he knew? When my pizza came out I saw that the pineapple had been caramelized before they put it on the pizza and it was the most delicious pineapple I have ever had. Almost like an upside down pineapple cake. The palette was balanced with the spicy jalapeños and savory ham. The chili oil on the table was a nice topping and overall it was a luxurious dining experience with casual prices. IYKYK...and now you know! read more

We 've been to Doughbird several times due to our child going to school in the area. I can't remember the young ladies name who is the hostess but she was always pleasant and had a good welcoming attitude. We've had the wings which can be hit or miss. The Detroit style aviator pizza is my absolute fave while the Salmon dish is my husband's. The breadsticks are good as well as the brussel sprouts which is something we rarely get at a restaurant. The drinks are delicious including the lemonade and margaritas. Anytime we're in Green Hills Doughbird is our go to spot and it's more convenient than dealing with trying to eat at the mall. read more

I'll be honest you can do a lot. Your service was terrible. We had to ask about our food. When the person brought it to us we were told that the other orders were put in ahead of ours. Which was a lie. We were seated long before the other customers and our order was placed long before they were seated. I would recommend Chili's over this place. Food is better cheaper and service is friendlier. read more

I had visited the original location in PHX 5 years ago, so I was excited to see this one pop up in green hills. Parking is convenient as it's attached to the parking garage. It's close to Trader Joe's so we timed it to join during happy hour. It was officially day 2 of their real opening and it was definitely over staffed (lots of training happening), it's a good thing for us because our drinks were refilled in record times... The food was really good. The Brussels sprouts were perfect, crispy, savory, with a honey drizzle. The wings were really good too. We definitely over ordered so it was followed by a burger and pizza. The bigger was phenomenal as were the fries. The pizza was Detroit style, very Emmy squared-ish, which is a good thing. We'll try to hand tossed style next time. Overall we'll be back to try a salad and a French dip? Excited to add to the rotation. read more

Came here for a weekend brunch with 2 others. Together, we shared the brussels sprouts, Copper Hat pizza, and chicken tenders. The chicken tenders and brussel sprouts were both good, but the copper hat pizza really stole the show! The pistachios gave it a nice crunch, the goat cheese and prosciutto a savory touch, and the dates a slightly sweet ending. The crust was both fluffy and crispy at the same time. Definitely recommend if you're looking for gourmet Detroit style pizza. read more

Horrible experience. Walked into the restaurant on a Monday with my daughter and it was busy. We were seated next to a big table and not one person acknowledged us for at least 15 minutes. The manager or someone who looked liked the manager walked by at least 3 times. There were also other servers who could have helped but did not. They all just kept walking by. We were once loyal customers and now I am questioning if I will be returning. Do better! read more

Went on a Monday night. Had a party of 9. Immediately were told there was no way we could get a table, or would have a long wait, so we ordered takeout instead. Then another waiter came and rudely confronted us about it. He said our table was ready much quicker than the other waiter told us. We decided to stay, regretfully. We ordered some drinks, and all the waters came, after a surprisingly long wait. The rest of the drinks came after another long wait. Pizzas were all good though. The little one (clearly under 21) ordered a second lemonade. She was instead gifted a mystery drink that tasted like a margarita. Thankfully, she didn't drink too much, but when we asked our waitress about it, she avoided answering and instead offered to bring a new one, and chalked it up to it being an old batch of lemonade. Very suspicious. Took pretty long, servers were rude and seemed to be against us, and the mystery margarita doesn't leave a good look. read more

Chicken pot pie was fabulous, especially for the fall! Also great service. Server knew the menu very well and was so nice.

Delicious! Fast service and kind employees. It was pretty open and we were sat and taken care of quickly. It's a nice, clean restaurant. I'd go again, it was super tasty :) read more

The goat cheese and prosciutto pizza is sooooo good here. They have gluten free crust!

I visited Doughbird when it wasn't too busy and had a great time seated at the bar. The bartenders were very attentive and friendly throughout the experience. I got the Aviator pizza Detroit style which was fantastic, if a little pricey for a pizza. The food was definitely worth it! The entire interior was chic, clean, and tastefully modern (including the bathroom!). I will definitely be returning here with friends and family. read more

I normally don't write Yelp reviews but I'm very disappointed. Would have sent back if I was dining in but picked up to go. Think it was a pizza someone else had already sent back and they kept it for to-go orders. It was cold and rubbery. Was shorted on my added items: sausage, basil, & prosciutto. Where is the sauce and cheese? This is supposed to be a margarita pizza... Usually dine in and get the chicken which is great, but should've stuck with Jets. read more

I was super excited to try this place and the food did not disappoint. The pizza was probably some of the best I've had in Nashville. I highly recommend adding the caramelized pineapple as a topping! My friend loved her salad and the cheesy bread was good too. The reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is mainly due to the service. Everything took longer than it needed to take. Also, my friends got the pitcher of sangria, but said the sangria was not good so if you're considering getting it, maybe don't. read more

We celebrated a birthday yesterday at Doughbird's and can I say AMAZING. The food, the service, the mocktails, the dessert. The wings have a nice crispy outside and the sauce wasn't too hot just right. Now the PIZZA. Birthday girl loves pizza so when she gives it a 5 star you know it's good. We had the hand tossed and the dough was crispy yet light. Great flavor. We had the pepperoni and mozzarella. Fresh mozzarella is a must on all pizza moving forward. As a nice gesture they gave her free Butterscotch cake with ice cream. Didn't think anything could get better then the wings and pizza but hold up!! Don't leave without dessert. Service... our server was informative and on point. Attentive to ensure we didn't have to ask for anything. You could tell she loved working there and also loved the food. Best pizza place in Nashville. Highly recommend it. It's near the Green Hills mall and this may be a simple thing but the fact there is a free garage parking in Nashville in a plus for sure. Easy breezy. Great job Doughbirds!! We will be bac read more
