    This was our first time trying King Dough Pizza. We opted to sit outside as it was a nice fall day. They do have umbrellas on the tables. We ordered a side of fries with ranch and blue cheese dressing. This is on their appetizer list. It is definitely enough fries for 4 to 6 people. We ordered a medium pepperoni pizza. The sauce was some of the best I've ever had. It had a very, very slight kick to it just enough to make it different. We also enjoyed. They used many pepperonis. The pizza was really good! My daughter ordered the pink lemonade and she said it did not have very much flavor so might want to pass on that. Server was very friendly! They also play music. I thought the selection and type of music was just perfect.

    TL;DR: Firecracker dry rub wings were amazing, get them if you like a numbing spice. Pizza had a good flavor but a bad bake. Price is definitely on the high side for what you get. Food: The firecracker dry rub wings may be my favorite dry rub wings I've ever had. Nice spice level with a good numbing kind of spice. I would come back just for these wings. The pizza is a more complicated topic. I had the destroyer. Good flavors, ratio of sauce to cheese and toppings was good, but it was a combination of slightly burnt crust (yes burn not just a nice char, especially around the outside edge) that was also soggy in the middle. This was honestly a pretty big let down as I'm still searching for a go to pizza place, but the bake really left a lot to be desired. Price: For two people we got 1 order of firecracker wings (8) and 2 14-in pizzas which came out to about $70 which is for sure on the high side given the amount of food. 4 wings and half a pizza would feed an adult who was an average level of hungry. Without the wings I would have easily crushed the 14-in pizza in one sitting. Service: Service was fine, didn't get a water refill until after our meal was done but I didn't try to flag anyone down for it either. Ambiance: Clean restaurant, not the most comfortable chairs, and kind of a strange mix of classic pizza place and slightly upscale finishes. The music wasn't overly loud and the lighting created a darker atmosphere. Overall: I would come back for the firecracker wings without a second thought. If I try the pizza again it'll be because I'm already here for the wings.

    I decided to try a new place for pizza, and found this in Carmel. I really want to like the place but I'm left with a feeling that it's just so-so. It took me about 25 minutes to be seated, which is OK because they were busy. It took another 10 minutes for someone to come to my table to get my drink order. Several minutes later, the waiter returned to take the rest of my order. It took 32 minutes for my 14 inch thin crust pizza to come out of the oven. When my waiter dropped off the pizza, he asked if I wanted crushed red peppers or Parmesan cheese, and I asked for both. He never returned with either one of them. In fact, he didn't return until it was time to bring my bill. The employees seem to be trying too hard to give this place a stoner/Broad Ripple vibe. They wear knit caps with their T-shirts, sweaters off the shoulder, sunglasses indoors at night... They're just trying too hard to look cool. They should probably focus on their customer service a little bit more. The pizza itself was good, but could have been much better if they used a perforated pizza pan. They use a cheap old flat pizza pan, which holds all of the grease underneath the crust. It winds up soaking your pizza. If they used a perforated pan, that grease would be away from your crust, and it would be much more crisp. The pizza was OK, but for $25 I expect it to be a little bit better than what I received.

    It was our first time at the Carmel King Dough location and we will definitely return! We've frequently visited the downtown location, but knew we'd be in Carmel on Tuesday evening to take advantage of their 2 for Tuesday special. This included a large salad and 14" speciality pizza for $35. Everything was delicious as always and our service was exceptional (thanks, Nadia!). The inside was clean and spacious. It's always interesting when restaurants have direct kitchen views. Easy to find parking and lots of other bars/restaurants nearby if you wanted to hop around. We didn't drink this evening, but loved their selection of Pax Verum beers. We will definitely return on a Friday for their happy hour!

    We ordered carryout online from this place. That's where things started going downhill. First of all, you can't order off the full menu online. There are several appetizers which are not available (we wanted cauliflower wings) for carryout. When we completed our order, it gave us an estimated pickup time of 1 hour later. These aren't deep dish pizzas. They're hand-tossed thin crust pies that only take 20 minutes to bake. We ordered 2 14" pizzas and they were pretty expensive ($20-25 each). And then there's the mandatory 15% service charge. For that, we should have just eaten there (never mind they have this weird item online where you can just give them an additional $15 on top of that). When I arrived an hour later, I walked through the front door and waited a couple minutes while the server at the counter took care of another guest. After he was finished with them, I gave him the name for the order, he checked on it, and came back and told me it wasn't ready yet. I looked around while I was waiting and the place was completely empty (it was Saturday night). There were only 4 people working from what I could see (2 in the kitchen, 1 server up front, and 1 bartender/server). 5 minutes later the pizzas were finally ready. Then he told me to go out the back. Never mind that I parked in front and walked in through fhe front door. When I got home, the pizzas were just..fine. The flavor of the sauce and toppings were alright, but the crust was just dry and chewy (my jaw started to hurt after a few slices). I don't foresee a return trip to this place.

    King Dough Carmel location is off Old Meridian Street. We went here on a Sunday night. Ordered a cheese pizza with some toppings and vegan Hive pizza, I think. The service was good, but it wasn't terribly busy to begin with. The decor is motivated by playing cards, which I rather liked. The pizza was well cooked, and there was nice char. The califlower wings were really good. Overall 8.5/10. It's plant-based friendly.

    The service was very slow. We went on our lunch break and was late getting back to work. Very large portions for the food also flavorful. I liked the fact they had cauliflower. It seems like a dope spot. I didn't care for the sauce, it wasn't sweet at all to me. Just a nutty flavor. The fries were delicious and the ranch tasted like it was homemade.

    Love love love! Best original style pizza I've had recently! I try to steer away from your typical pizza places. Tried a few other recently and wasn't quite satisfied. This hit the spot! My favorite was the Margherita Pizza! What I like most is the light amount of topics. We don't each a lot of cheese so for us it was perfect. Can't wait to order again!

    So, this is now one of my new pizza joints. That's rare for me to say that after only one visit. Food: Their pizza is oven-baked, and although it's not wood-fired, it comes out with much of the same char and blistering that a wood oven tends to produce. We had the Big Boy 14" pizza, and it was outstanding. Service: Service was great. We came on a Sunday afternoon at 4pm, so it wasn't busy during our visit, which means we got lots of attention from the wait staff. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Apparently it does get quite busy here at times. Ambiance: King Dough is located in the same storefront as one of my past favorite (now defunct) pizza restaurants. Back then, it was called Crust. I've always liked this corner space on Old Meridian. The decor is eclectic and has a quirky vibe - as does the wait staff. And, it works. the vibe of this place felt authentic and genuine, and just different enough to make everything stand out. We'll definitely be back here. But, be warned: This pizza is crave-worthy.

    This was our first visit to this location. We ordered the 14 inch big boy pizza and eight piece hot honey sesame wings. We've had that pizza previously at Theo downtown location and it was very good - just spicy enough with peppadew pepper, pepperoni, sausage and onion. The crust is delicious and chewy! The wings were the nice surprise. We will definitely get those again! It came with a side of ranch or bleu cheese and they didn't need any extra sauce.

It looked like she was the only server on shift for the whole time we were there, meaning she was running throughout not only her section inside, but going outside as well! Despite being so busy, she made sure to check in on us multiple times. Our garlic bread was cheesy and tasty, although we wished it was a little more garlicky! My salad was very refreshing and quite large for a small portion. My husband loved his turkey sub as well! My husband enjoyed his pizza flavor wise, but he prefers thicker crusts. However for me, the crust was PERFECT! I love a thinner, greasy crust. NY style, CA style, and similar are my favorite. These pizzas are great for that! The only problem we ran into was the toppings. The kitchen accidentally messed up on my pizza and put a different topping than what I ordered. When Grace quickly had them remade it, the second pizza had the correct topping.... But was now missing a topping that was originally on the first pizza! It honestly didn't matter at that point, because the pizza was absolutely delicious. The cheese was stretchy, greasy, and gooey. The sauce was pleasant , and again I love a thin crispy crust! The management was kind enough to take off my pizza from our bill as an apology for the topping fiasco, without any complaint from us urging it. I would definitely love to have their pizza again!

This is a hot spot for a certain kind of Carmel crowd who wants to have a lil' cheeky drink on a day that ends in Y (or two drinks ... or three. They don't judge at Pizzology.) Or so I'm told. I got boots on the ground reporting for me. But it's also a restaurant for families. And a restaurant for casual dates. And a restaurant if you just want great food. Pizzology gets wood-fired pizza right. The crust is chewy yet slightly charred and crispy in all the right places. The pizza flavor offerings are simple but also creative. They have a dozen or so chef-crafted pizzas, so you can order a pizza that has been thoughtfully created. But if you want to go rogue, then you can also create your own pizza from ingredients like peppadew peppers, corn puree (what?), smoked mozzarella, asparagus and lots more. Large pizzas feed two, maybe three people. Small pizzas will feed one person. I was with a group of people, and we ordered a variety of things. The best thing that I tasted was The Varro, which is a pizza with red sauce, pork meatballs, fresh garlic, blobs of ricotta, parmesan cheese and parsley. This is one amazing pizza! I specifically ordered this pizza for the ricotta blobs, but I left with the memory of the garlic. Woah! If you like garlic or need to ward off vampires, this is the pizza for you. Other things we got included the Margherita pizza, which was so good and simple, with lots of fresh basil. And The Bama (white Alabama barbecue sauce, chili flakes, grilled chicken, banana peppers, caramelized onions and mozzarella). The Bama is spicer than you might think, but it was very tasty. Other people at the table got salads and bread sticks, and they were very happy with them, so I feel like you can't go wrong with pretty much anything on the menu here. The wine list is decent here! You'll find some nice wines at OK prices. They also have a wide variety of cocktails, plus a small beer menu. Hours are limited, as Pizzology is only open for dinner, starting at 4 p.m. If you're visiting on a Friday or weekend, I'd call to make a reservation. This place fills up quickly!

Since it is mainly a carryout / delivery establishment, it is extremely important to me that orders are correct. I was very satisfied with the accuracy... my family can be very particular and makes a lot of menu substitutions! The menu consists mostly of pizza and wings.

The wings appear to get good reviews so we will probably order them next time.... along with another pizza!
