For dessert I got their chocolate mousse. If you love chocolate then this is the dessert you want to try. If you have never been here, come check them out. If your old school like me, go on back. Oh, there is just one other small other critique. Go back old school and stay open until eleven o’clock. Have a great day everyone!
Update from 2nd visit: Still haven’t tried the soup, but today we got chicken pot pies, and they’re really good. The chicken stew is hearty and chunky; the gravy is mild and creamy, and the crust is pastry-style, draped over the edge of the crockery bowl they bake it in, so you get lots of nice edge-pieces of crust. Delicious. Service was once again excellent, too, and we had a bit of the spumoni, which is a great example of the type (it’s hard to find spumoni at most local Italian places lately, and it’s a tradition I’m old enough to miss, I suppose). The Dough Company’s spumoni has particularly nice cherry notes, and the chocolate part has a nice rich cocoa flavor. We only ordered a half-serving and split it, because we’re diabetic and should not be messing with spumoni after having a pot pie (!), but: even just a small bit was very rewarding. And of course, we had the Greek Salad again and I can’t imagine coming here and not having some.
I also told them that everyone we get pizza the cuts are all different sizes ranging from a double cut to a half cut.
I really like the food but for $21 they are getting very sloppy and cheap. Time to look for a new place.
Thank you.
We arrived on a Tuesday evening and were seated immediately. There were plenty of tables open and remained that way throughout our visit.
The items on the menu were mainly Italian dishes. Pasta and tomato sauce, pizza, strombolis, etc. Surprisingly, the more tasty dishes we ordered were not Italian, but more of a local, home-cooked flair.
The homemade Piggy Soup was very flavorful, with ground beef and cabbage in a tomato based broth. Although cabbage is a main ingredient in “Piggies,” it seemed to be lacking in the soup itself. Nevertheless, the dish was enjoyable.
The Chicken Pot Pie was also delicious, with the pie crust overflowing from the rim of the bowl. The meal included chicken, peas, and carrots, immersed in a thick, creamy chicken gravy.
The pizza itself was average. The cheese pizza was a thin, no-frills pie that satisfied the hunger, but nothing that stood out (which is hard to do in Northeastern Pennsylvania, with a very large volume of pizza parlors that have their own unique taste). Although the pie was not terrible, there are many other venues that serve more pleasing offerings.
The double-crusted 4-piece white pizza was a little better, with melted cheese and Italian seasonings oozing from the sides. The dough was fresh, soft, and definitely filling.
The penne vodka was the most disappointing, however. The sauce was not creamy as one would expect, and was flat, lacking any flavor. The side salad was also uneventful, with two cucumbers, a tomato, a strip of green pepper, iceberg lettuce buried underneath a bed of shredded carrots. The dressing came in a small container.
The longevity of The Dough Company suggests that it has a loyal following, and it’s good to see a local business thrive over the years. With the exception of the penne vodka meal, I wasn’t thoroughly disappointed with the meals, nor was I extremely pleased. Although I don’t regret visiting the eatery, I probably won’t be clamoring for a return visit anytime soon.
