Customer Reviews
“ Hands down the best food in town. We've tried most of their pizzas and sandwiches and love them ALL. The service is great as well! Kylie (sorry if I misspelled) is the BEST! ”
“ My wife and I stopped by this amazing little pizza place in Bay Springs tonight and had an amazing time. The food was made to order and so worth the wait. And the staff was great and kept us laughing. The server (April) was a true professional and an absolute pleasure. We were so impressed with our time there and will be back soon. Thank you Papa Dough’s. ”
“ The absolute best pizza I’ve ever had! The service was remarkable, wonderful family owned restaurant. Everyone working was so very nice and friendly. Just loved the atmosphere and cleanliness and the everything in between, the handmade sourdough pizza crust is like no other. ”
“ We always want to try new pizza places. This one is a good one. We ordered the pizza and before we knew it they were ready....super fast. The pepperonis had a little spiciness to them which was new and great.....not used to that. The sauce had alot of flavor as well. The crust was crispy and cooked well. Wish we could eat thus again. ”
“ I seldom visit Bay Springs but the local First Baptist Church was hosting a gospel group “Anthem Edition” so I was ready for something good after a long day at the schoolhouse. I ordered a calzone and Pepsi w/ a lemon slice- I learned to drink mine this way in London, it add a little something extra. The calzone was great with tomato sauce or garlic sauce. The lady next to me at the bar had a chicken bacon ranch pizza with pickles added! It looked yummy and she agreed but I wouldn’t try it when she offered. Hopefully I didn’t miss out. ”
“ Stopped in and had a beer, pretzel bites, and the New Yorker. Amazing food for little bay springs and more amazing atmosphere and owners. If I could give it another star then I would ”
