    Great customer service. Fresh and fluffy donuts the kids devoured. Will return to try out the pizza. It is on the pricier side ($30/dozen) but supporting local is what it's all about and worth every penny Small shop but plenty of space next to the building with a beautiful sound side view.

    Half pep/half cheese, easy on the sauce.

    My kind of a pie! It was cooked perfectly, just enough cheese, and those tiny pepperonis are always fabulous. The gentleman that waited on me was super nice and the whole place had a great vibe. Recommended!

    The place is a bit expensive, but I get it. It's in OBX and not a chain. Other places are still cheaper though. We got a half pepperoni and half sausage pizza for $30. The lady who took my phone order wasn't friendly. When my wife picked up the pizza with my son, she said the woman was less than pleasant as well. My 5 year old son chimed in and said, "she was not very nice." The pizza was average to above average, but they were very stingy with the toppings as you can see from the picture. Those slices had the most toppings on them, as the ones we ate had even less. I really wanted to like this place, but I won't be going back. My wife got donuts that we will try tomorrow.

    16" Buxton pizza with balsamic drizzle

    The pizza was fantastic! We ordered the Buxton with the balsamic drizzle and it was by far the best pizza I've had in a while. The crust was perfectly crispy with a soft inside. The kids loved the cheesy bread, it was like pizza crust with cheese on it. We also had the cinnamon donut ice cream sandwiches and those were absolutely wonderful. The guys working were friendly and helpful! Definitely our favorite little spot we've found on vacation here.

    Bacon & Sausage Pizza

    This was an extremely small spot with no seating on the inside with donuts, bagels, and pizza on the menu. The service was very friendly and attentive. A dozen donuts ($14.99?) and a slice of bacon and sausage pizza ($3.50?) were ordered. The donuts were all small and extremely light. Regarding the pizza, it was great. It was a white pizza and both meats were a solid touch. The crust also had a slight crisp, which I preferred. Each type I tried is below. Strawberry Frosted - This was tasty, enough of a strawberry flavor. Glazed - This was good, not overly glazed and far from too sweet. Vanilla Icing with Sprinkles - This was my favorite. I really enjoyed the vanilla flavor with the added touch of the sprinkles. Vanilla Icing with Raspberry Glaze - I enjoyed this, but there was not a heavy taste of the glaze. Chocolate Icing with Sprinkles - This was alright, just was not a huge fan of the chocolate. Vanilla Icing with Chocolate & Caramel Glaze - The vanilla icing, but again, there was not a strong taste of the glaze. Will I go back? Yes.

    This was an amazing experience! The man working treated us so well with great service and made sure that we did not leave hungry. Excellent service and excellent food!

    Donuts

    The donuts are SUPER fresh, so soft and really good! There is zero of that "oily" flavor donuts sometimes have. Dare I say, in my opinion, the glazed is better than a KK donut

    If you are staying in the Waves/ Rodanthe area, definitely check out the dough shack! Pros: - The wait time was very short (15-20 min) -The prices were very reasonable -The staff was very friendly -They are not stingy on that toppings at all -The crust was soft & perfect -The donuts were delicious - They have an iced latte machine which was surprisingly good -This was such a delicious, easy meal for out last night so we could pack up and not make a mess Cons: -The staff weren't wearing masks (which I found to be common in OBX) -We were there in september and their hours changed to later in the afternoon/ evening i'm sure to lower customer volumes, which is a problem if you want donuts earlier than noon

    My little donuts in a pizza box that smells like pizza.

    Don't waste your money on their expensive donuts. Ate one and threw the rest away. Greasy!

    Is this place dog friendly?

    They have picnic benches out front to sit at, so I'd say yes.
