Great experience. I did not go for the buffet but ordered online. Easy order process, easy pick up. Friendly staff and the pizza was delicious. Best pizza in WJ since Geno's closed. One little note - it would be nice to have take out salad options but the salad bar looked great! read more

The staff is very friendly. My friend got the bar. I got a gluten free pizza. I also got a to-go 16oz ranch dressing. It's amazing! :-)

Tucked away out of the way, The Dough Shed Pizzaria is one of those places you might drive right past if you're not paying attention. But once you find it, it's a solid local spot worth stopping for. (I would give it a 4.5 out of 5, but the app only let me choose 4 or 5.) We swung by for dinner around 7 p.m. and found plenty of seating--both tables and booths--so it's comfortable for small groups or larger parties. They can definitely accommodate big groups if needed, which is a big plus. They also offer ample outdoor seating in front of the restaurant. If you don't have time to sit down to dinner, they have a drive-through as well. As the evening went on, it got more crowded--the place definitely draws a good crowd, especially at prime dinner hours. Just a reminder: they close at 8, so timing your visit is key! The place was very clean, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and had our order ready pretty quick--definitely a highlight. They've got a ton of toppings to choose from--something for everyone. And here's a rarity: they have a buffet bar where you pay one price and can keep going back for more. That night, they had all-you-can-eat wings, but we went with a salad, cheese sticks, and a medium pepperoni pizza. The salad bar was well-stocked with baby spinach and spring mix, and there was a dedicated attendant making sure everything stayed fresh, clean, and topped off. Nice touch. Our cheese sticks and pizza came out promptly and tasted fresh -- the cheese on the breadsticks was pretty generous. The pizza was thin crust only, which I like, but I think it could have been cooked a little longer -- it wasn't quite as crispy as I prefer. That didn't take anything away from the taste, though; it still had good flavor. The variety on the buffet was solid, and it looked like they kept a steady rotation of different pizzas. As for drinks, the water tested at 36 ppm, well within safe drinking standards--no worries there. Overall, it's clear this place is a local favorite, especially during dinner hours. Everything's pretty much self-serve, but they do bring your pizza to the table if you order it that way. All in all, if you're looking for a no-fuss, tasty pizza joint without the fancy bells and whistles, The Dough Shed is a solid choice. Good service, good food, a clean environment, and a cozy local vibe -- just make sure you get there before they close! read more

Formerly Village Inn Pizza, The Dough Shed stuck with the salad bar & pizza buffet as well as some spaghetti and the day I went they had chicken & dumplings on the hot bar. They keep a variety of fresh pizzas coming out and fully stocked. Their 'cracker' crust is my favorite and veggie (onions, green peppers, etc.) and the cheese pies are my favorite and the fully stocked salad bar makes it easy to spruce up a plain slice of cheese if you so desire. read more

Great lunch having the buffet. A good variety of different types of pizza were available, good flavor, good crust. Lots of other items as well: pasta with meat sauce, macaroni, salad, potato salad, pasta, salad, etc. I also had dessert pizzas, cherry, and apple. Excellent price, and no waiting with the buffet! My wife also had the Chicago style deep dish, pizza, eight size. Lots of cheese, outstanding crust, plenty of toppings inside. read more

Best wings I've ever had! Crispy, moist, tender, and so delicious. I've been in the restaurant business for a long time and the customer service is also top notch. Keep up the good work! read more

Buffet $12.59 on Saturdays. Pizzas were constantly being brought out. All crusts looked the same, which makes me wonder if they are pre-made. It was ok buffet pizza. Salad bar was nice, with lots of options. Spaghetti sauce was homemade, and tasted pretty good. Homemade chicken-n-dumplings was definitely not as good as the vegetable beef soup. But the star of the show for me and my wife, was the vegetable beef soup. We enjoyed it the most. read more

The food and tea was great. Pizza was fresh and hot. My salad was great. They did a great job of keeping the buffet full, constantly bringing out new pizzas and topping off the salad ingredients. Dining room was clean. Bathroom was clean. The parking lot was clean. Everything was neat and clean! It is not uncommon for a place to look good everywhere and then you go to the bathroom and then the real story is revealed, well it was, everything was clean. The staff was keeping the tables cleaned off while you go back to the bar. Way to go guys, you did well. Next time I will bring my whole family. I will definitely be back. read more

If you're stopping by West Jefferson, I would highly recommend that you try out this restaurant! read more

Awful soggy pizza. I will never go back. We ordered pizza for several people -all of them were soggy.

Good pizza. I've had takeout a few times and pizza has always been good. I think they have a buffet too. I have never tried it

Traveled to west Jefferson and have now been here twice. The pizza is good especially the bacon ranch pizza. The staff are super friendly and helpful and they don't waste time in cleaning up once people leave. read more

I've never had a bad experience here. The inside is clean and tidy and kept up nicely. The employees are usually roaming around to keep up with the pizza and salad bar. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. I LOVE the vegetable beef soup and salad bar for a lunch special. Great portion sizes and prices as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Hard to beat a good pizza buffet and this is a great one. Always packed and they keep the pies coming as fast as possible. They take requests as well but usually keep a good variety of pizzas with various toppings. Friendly staff with a well stocked salad bar. Dessert pizzas are great too. read more

My family took a weekend trip on Black Friday to get a Christmas tree and stopped here on the way to our Airbnb, and I was pleasantly surprised. For buffet pizza it was actually good and there was a good variety of toppings available at all times. The salad bar was well stocked with plenty of options as well. Worth a visit in the future. read more

Excellent fresh pizza! Fast. Service was great. We did not try the buffet but it looked good too.

Clean place, friendly service. Great selection on the salad bar and several different types of pizzas on the buffet. Would recommend and will be coming back. read more

The pizza was enjoyable. The family got the pizza buffet that included pizza, salad, soup, and spaghetti. The value was pretty good. I got a gluten free crust pizza that I obviously had made to order. It was also reasonably priced and tasty. There are tables there that can accommodate larger groups. The staff was friendly and polite! read more

I visited tonight with my family. It was our 2nd and last time. I watched as an employee brought out a veggie pizza for the buffet. It sat there for less than 5 minutes so he proceeded to take it and throw it directly in the trash. Not one piece was eaten. With the amount of starving people in this world, I am completely disgusted by this. I hope this is not standard practice for your establishment. read more

liked the pizza and salad bar. friendly staff and atmosphere. buffet included wings and dessert pizza. yay!
