    In the 80's it was "Where's the Beef". Gotta do better on the cheese.

    Need to be more consistent with the cheese. Before the switch to the high end cheese, the slices actually had some cheese on it.

    It's goal of mine and my partner's to try a new pizzeria if we see it by chance and that's exactly what happened to Doughboys Pizzeria! However, to our demise, we didn't even order pizza! They had a deal on bogo wings and so we ordered buffalo and sweet & spicy wings (kind of like thai chili) as well as cheesy garlic roses. The wings' flavors were good but we would've wanted it crispier! The cheesy garlic roses were a little too salty for our liking. Definitely going to re-review once we get to try their pizzas!

    We have fond memories of that old favorite pizza--this was so far removed. We stopped going to Doughboy's a few owners back. The original owner read the bad reviews and offered the next buyers their fan favorite recipes, (the recipes that had the customers coming back), but the new owners wanted to make it their own. Shame. Even if it's been too long to remember what the original pizza tasted like, the pizza was underwhelming. I've eaten Neapolitan pizza in Italy and lived in New York I wouldn't compare the pizza I ate today to either. The one thing that is similar to Italy is they don't have ice. They sell canned drinks but no ice. There are several tables inside. It's probably just good for takeout right now because it was HOT inside. The pizza was missing toppings mentioned on the menu, which we would have preferred. The BBQ sauce is too sweet for this pizza; it doesn't complement it. There are so many better pizzerias in the area. I want to be fair, they did just open, but I had highest hopes for the reopening. Currently, there is no ambiance to speak of, Also the countertop was in disarray with things like spices and the basil and green onions that the pizza was missing. The pizza was just... alright.

    Thought we'd give the new place a try. We had a Great pizza , combination pizza lots of toppings, buffalo wings were ok, kinda need to cook a lil more a lil more crispy would be nice. We called in our order and our pizza was ready in 22 minutes for pick up. They have seating inside too. The pizza was good as I said, next time well as if they can bake it a lil longer so the crust is a crispier, kinda chewy but that's just personal preference.

    Doughboys has new owners. Regular pizza is amazing my family shares. unfortunately, the gluten free crust tasted very homemade and the crust was funky. I have made gf products at home before so I know how it goes. Just want to help my fellow celiacs! It was inedible and I ended up tossing the $30 pizza. Regular crust is a winner though!

    Finally, a real New York-style slice on the Central Coast. Doughboys is back and the new owners (took over in August) are doing it right. The crust folds the way it should, sauce has legit flavor, and toppings are fresh and loaded. I grew up on NY pizza, and this is the closest I've had out here -- no gimmicks, just solid, authentic pizza. Good people running it, laid-back vibe, and a place I'll keep coming back to. If you've been looking for the real deal, Doughboys delivers

    This pizza is so good!!!! We got half pepperoni, half sausage and enjoyed every bite. We will definitely be ordering from here again! The cashier, Jocelyn, was super sweet and helpful. Cute place too.

    My first time at Doughboys, the man up front was polite. We built our own pizza with zucchini, salami, garlic, artichoke hearts and spinach. Since we paid for 5 toppings I would expect them to put a bit more stuff on it. If we had known how light the toppings were going to be we would have only ordered it with one or two toppings. The taste was good, but there just wasn't enough toppings on it. I also found it kind of greasy compared to other places. Casual ambiance.

Bakery has their regular breads, amazing biscuits, basque cheesecake, cookies. Limited items especially as the day progresses. The chocolate chip cookies are out of this world. They are just the right amount of thickness with a bit of chewiness and the perfect amount of salt. We buy 6 of them each time and never regret buying them, wishing I had bought more. The Cafe is a nice space with 6 tables and 4 chairs per. You can order and sit or take it to go. I ordered a egg salad sandwich from the bakery on sourdough and an egg salad sandwich from the Cafe on brioche. The sourdough was a bit too thick and chewy for my taste. And the brioche was a bit dry. The egg salad part was amazing though on both. A good balance and love the touch of shaved red onion. We also ordered the French toast bread pudding. Delicious! Plus that whipped cream is such a great pairing. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Everything can be a bit pricey for some people, but when we drop by its usually for a short vacation so it seems worth it to buy something you will definitely enjoy. Highly recommended!

The restaurant is located right next to the train station, and they had a dedicated carpark, but it also seemed like street parking was readily available nearby as well. The outdoor dining area was pleasant and had heaters available. Once we arrived, we were seated promptly and brought menus and water. They also kindly brought water for our dog, even without us asking them for it. We shared two appetizers, including the ceviche and tostada. Both were excellent, fresh and full of flavor. For mains, I got the misoyaki butterfish, while my husband had the bouillabaisse. I was jealous that he decided to order this because I don't like ordering the same main as someone else I'm dining with, but the jealousy dissipated once I got the butterfish. It was coated in a sweet teriyaki sauce which it paired wonderfully with, and the texture was pleasant and soft. It was served atop a bed of wild rice and greens. The bouillabaisse was also superb. It's hard to imagine that their other main dishes are better than these two, though I'm sure they're also great. We couldn't go past the lime and coconut creme brulee for dessert. Both of us couldn't get enough of this. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. We had everything we needed and never needed to flag her down for anything. Someone else, perhaps the owner, came out and asked us how our meal was while we were eating which was a nice touch. I'd recommend this as a must-visit if you're in the Pismo Beach area.

My favorite pizza is the meat lovers and I add cooked prosciutto. The small is plenty with one person and the large is good for two or more. They have a great patio adjacent to the building and live music on the weekends. You can order drinks inside or at the horse trailer barn on the patio. They have a decent selection of beer and wine. Save room for dessert. They have a nice selection of gelato, tiramisu, and Cannoli. Looking forward to the next visit. Cheers!

Zero complaints on the service or time it took to get my to go order. Wings- honestly nothing special here. They were good but tiny and standard oven baked wings. I also ordered spicy and got plain wings. For the price I was definitely a little let down! Pesto chicken pizza- again it was solid but nothing special for me. Good flavor combo and good ingredients. Crust was a little on the softer side but a solid pie. That said at these prices you expect to be blown away or have something unique to justify paying almost double any other gourmet pizza place. Overall a solid pizza spot but personally can't justify paying this much. If you want something different, as far as specialty pizzas, then give them a try.
