Dough & Oil in Shropshire

Always great pizza, they have a small menu with a few specials each day. They don't take bookings, but if they don't have a table available they'll put your name down on the list and call you when the table is ready. They have an option to switch out the cheese for vegan cheese for anyone with dietary requirements.

Excellent pizza and great staff.

Disappointed. Atmosphere lacking. Outside seating cramped, uncomfortable and the table was very sticky plus looked like someone had enjoyed clawing at the wood. Service, functional but without any friendliness. Menu very limited and did not appear to truly cater to families.. Food, presentation was good although the plates looked like they had seen better days. Taste, not great. Heavy, chewy and overly oily.

We had such a great time at Dough & Oil! The food was amazing, as always! We were served by Nathan who was brilliant, he was really helpful and looked after us so well. Thanks Nathan and all at Dough!

Best pizza I’ve had outside Italy!

Great relaxing place to eat & drink. S.azing pizza 🍕 & welcomes babies & dogs.

It’s the first time I’ve really enjoyed Pizza since realising I can’t eat gluten. Thankyou! Brilliant (I’ll update with images next time I visit)

😋 😋 That was the best pizza I’ve ever eaten, the staff member was very engaging & friendly, I let him choose my pizza and I wasn’t disappointed. I would definitely recommend and if I was in the area again I would return

A guaranteed 10/10 meal, would recommend as all pizzas our group had were amazing, with such unique flavours. All the staff were so lovely & super friendly, could not fault at all!

They produce brilliant pizzas probably the best pizza base I have eaten with a great choice of toppings.

We usually love dough and oil, one of our favourites, not just for the food but the atmosphere. We attended last week and were really disappointed by our visit. We travelled from Telford to show off this restaurant to friends as previous experiences have been great! On arrival it was busy so we were asked to wait and they’d ring us when there was a table, we found a bench in the town centre and waited, the lady said it would be half an hour to 45 minutes, after waiting for an hour on said bench with a 7 year old, far away from home, we decided to walk back to the restaurant and politely ask how long it was going to be as if it was any longer we’d need to find somewhere else to eat, for the young girl to then say ‘sorry I didn’t call, we didn’t have a table we though you’d fit on’ and then proceeded to give us one of the 5 empty tables they had. (Did you not think to ring and let us know that you didn’t have one?) Luckily my 7 year old had already ate and just wanted some mac and cheese! This was a shocking experience altogether really, from being excited to show off the restaurant to being very embarrassed by our choice! Appalled by the service, really let the restaurant down! Will not be in a hurry to show this one off again any time soon

Best pizza ever (and we’ve made and bought a lot of pizza!)

Excellent food and service. We shared a jerk chicken pizza, jerk ribs and sourdough ice cream and all were presented and tasted great. Staff were also friendly and helpful.

A different on a pizza joint you many choices service is super even when busy definitely recommend

Great pizzas, from simple to quite different (but very tasty). No booking, but turn up and wait / come back when they call you. Had a 30 min wait on bank holiday Monday but was spot on what they advised.

The best pizza I've had in ages. The staff are so pleasant and helpful as well.

Me and my family went here for dinner on the first night of our holiday. It was great the food and service was top tier and the prices were cheap for such amazing food. The atmosphere was also good. Amazing restraunt would come again.

Really good pizza. Really good.

I visit this place every time I come to England. The Jerk is one of the best pizzas I have ever had and the sweet corn side is also amazing.

Food here is always banging, so when I returned to Shrewsbury for a visit I had to go. Was nice to see a friendly face in our server Ed, just all round good vibes

Amazing food, lovely staff and great music. Fab little place!

One of the best pizza I ever had, even better than some that I tried in Italy 🥰😍 also very cozy place and great service. We will definitely be back

Great place to stop off for a bite to eat. Pizza was great as was the sides. Various events on in there so always a good atmosphere

Friendly staff and really great pizzas 🍕 plus not crazy prices, I hear they are expanding the business too, thanks guys!

Out of all the pizza's offered, The One is my recommendation to all who fancy something different

A really good pizza. I love pizza and this is the blend of great dough and great ingredients. Not piles of cheese or pile of toppings but enough that the pizza stays firm when sliced and very tasty. The only slight negative is the the serving staff perhaps could be a little more attentive.

Looked excellent. But we didn’t have reservation so didn’t get to taste it

No booking, but we managed to get in about 9pm. This place smells so good when you walk past, and I’m glad the pizza did not disappoint. I took half of mine home and it was as good cold as it was warm. If you’re fancying pizza, definitely go here!

It was a marvellous place for me till today when I ordered my first delivery. First missing garlic mayo, the food was cold and I found a hair in the mac and cheese, awful very disappointed 😞

We decided to visit on a busy Saturday lunchtime, the host that met us was wonderfully helpful and took a number to call us when they had a table free. After a quick 20 minute walk around the local shops we got a call back. The other members of staff at Dough & Oil were equally lovely and got us seated in a booth. We’re a family of pizza lovers and so expectations were high. We all agreed that without a doubt the pizzas we ordered were the best we’ve ever had (and we’ve tried a few!). We’ll definitely be visiting again, can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Really top quality pizza, highly recommended.

Great atmosphere and great pizza. Highly recommend ‘The One’.

The Squash was quite simply the best pizza I have ever eaten! I dropped in for lunch on the way up from the station, lovely staff, great ambience, a bit of a wait for the pizza, but what else would you expect for a freshly cooked original?

Absolutely spot on! Visited a few times now and tried the Phillipo, Miles Davies, Roni and The One and they were all delicious! The sourdough is an art in itself and you absolutely nailed it! The one and only thing I’d change are the stainless steel cups- why, oh why? They make every drink taste like metal. Keep up the great work!

Really good pizza and excellent service

Beautiful venue with vintage/diner/rustic furniture! Friendly staff and a really cool vibe. Yummy food and a great atmosphere. No negatives! 100% recommend! Perfect place to come with family or friends, has outdoor seating and a hangout area downstairs.

Great thin crust with lots of flavor. Wish we could have gotten a little more basil on our Margo pizza. Unless you pair an appetizer, I think 1 pizza per person is adequate given the thinness of the crust

We've eaten a lot of pizza in our time, trust me. This is up there, with one of the best. Super friendly service, beyond dog friendly (our dogs were sat on the bench with us!) Even sitting outside, we had great service. Do not miss Dough & Oil.

Great place Really enjoyed the food

Fantastic pizza and charcuterie board. Great service too.

We were sitting outside so atmosphere was only 4* as many cars pass by usually kids reving the engines. Food amazing nice variety totally recommended.

Delicious food!! Get the jerk corn it's so good

Really great pizza. We didn't book but they have a system where you leave your name and number and they ring you when they can fit you in. We had "the one" pizza and a Mac n cheese. Both tasted amazing

Absolutely delicious pizza.Really!! The best pizza I ever ate.Great atmosphere. We will definitely coming back next time.

Absolutely amazing, food, atmosphere, service and prices. We spotted this little gem whilst looking for a place to have lunch yesterday, I am craving more today it was that good 🤩 Having travelled and eaten pizzas in some of the best places Dough and Oil is up there possibly second favourite since I have never eaten pizza in Naples. That said, I still this could be no. 1. Would recommend to anyone looking to eat around Shrewsbury! PS: we went for the Roni and the Philipo

great atmosphere & good pizza☺️we had to wait 20 minutes for a table however popped to a nearby pub for a drink while we waited. we sat outside to eat and they had heat lamps which were great and kept us warm. the food was good quality and tasted very fresh. the aesthetic of dough and oil is retro/rustic & there’s a photo booth downstairs which we took full advantage of!! our server was nice also. would recommend if you’re looking for a good pizza place in shrewsbury :)

Lovely place and friendly staff and great food

Food is very, very good, I thought the cocktail tasted a bit weak though and the service felt a little stand offish. Despite that, there was no automatic service charge or gratuity added to the bill, which is a good thing and rare these days. I would definitely return. Update April 2024; to be fair, harder times in hospitality now sees them introduce a service charge although this is not mandatory and they openly point this out. There appears to be a lot of staff knocking around possibly to be able to cope with demand later in the day. Therein lies an issue, despite the amount of staff, you can still be waiting around a while to get their attention. A pet peeve is gatekeeping of the condiments, you wouldn’t know they existed unless you asked - chili oil and flakes, basil oil maybe and possibily more. Other establishments entrust patrons with bottle and leave it with you or better, have it ready on all tables regardless, not these guys. Regardless of the difficult situation in hospo, value for money is no longer here, let’s face it, markup on pizzas is the largest compared to other establishments. Please staff, pay less attention on showing us your wavy hair, white socks, vans shoes and illegible tattoos and put the effort in where it counts, smile and be there for your patrons

Six of us went here for an early evening meal before working at the theatre. Place was rammed so they took our number and we went to their sister bar opposite and had drinks whilst waiting for a free table. 30 mins later we sat outside for our pizza, and it was well worth the wait. Superb quality food, we had a few different pizzas and they were all fantastic. My Philo one with nduja sausage was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Nice beers to go with it too. Staff were great despite being run off their feet. Definitely a place I’d highly recommend.

If you want pizza stop reading reviews and book a table, you won't be disappointed. Best pizza outside Naples!

Best pizza in Shrewsbury by a long way and one of the best pizzas I’ve had anywhere on the planet. Not to be overlooked - ever!

10/10. We came 2 years ago and it was the best pizza we ever had, so when we were staying close by (approx 45 mins away) we came again to see if it was as good as we remembered. Somehow it was better than last time. Can’t complain about anything, keep up the great work.

This is a highly popular pizzeria in the centre of town. There are 2 vegan pizza choices which change from time to time. One is usually a bit more adventurous, the other, the Marinara is a bit plain and boring. The dough is fabulous and the toppings are generous and of great quality. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are pleasant. Just one thing...I wish they still sold the previous vegan options (or just one other) in addition to their latest ones or offer to veganise some of the others. For example, couldn't they swap out the dairy for vegan cheese on some of the vegetarian options? I suppose they don't feel they need to at the moment. Hopefully that will change over time.

It’s not often I go to a restaurant and feel so genuinely impressed by the customer service but I had to put something about my experience on Saturday. The server (it says Poppy on my bill) was really welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. She was able to answer any questions I had about allergies and was cheerful the whole time of our visit. The food was amazing and topped off with great service, thank you.

Delicious pizza & fantastic margaritas!

Amazing place , best pizza , Coeliac friendly and good value for money! Staff are friendly and it’s just a easy going place!

The food was amazing, the ingredients, the dough everything! And it is dog friendly, they accommodated us and our husky perfectly 💕

Amazing!!! Popped in asking for a table of which there was a wait no problem name down and they’ll ring us back. Beer time Popped across to oil (ale house) across the road fantastic beer especially if your into your ales 👏🏻 Was concerned as phone signal was pretty poor downstairs so I asked after about 30 mins if the table was ready unfortunately not! No problem they said we’ll come over and find you and 10 mins later they found us! Apologised for the wait no worries! I ordered the one I think it’s called 🤔 anyway 🤩 🤩 the best pizza I’ve had in a very long time. Forget your bog standard takeout pizza rubbish this goes to the next level. A sourdough pizza base, cooked to perfection reminded me of the base we had in Greece much like a naan bread texture. No sauce base!!! 👀 yes however it actually works using the ingredients such as the yoghurt, pomegranate, lamb, jalapeño (as they had no 🌶️ and coriander. It was amazing!! Unreal Friends had the Thai and Mac and cheese with bacon 🤩 again amazing. If you want the Mac and cheese and think it’ll be too much have the kids pizza and the Mac perfect amount. Price point was spot on large pizza one pint cane to roughly £19-20. Great place! Apologies tho we forgot to leave a tip as we all went Dutch this was by no means a reflection on the food and service as this was exceptional! We’ll be back!!!!

The Ranger pizza with side order of roast potato, raclette cheese and cornichon, probably the best pizza meal I've had!

I had such a good time there! Got stranded due to rail track landslide and it was really meant to be. Amazing pizza and super friendly staff, nice indie rock music. Great vibe overall.

Very nice food and very good service 👌

Delicious Pizza with great staff & atmosphere

This place has now become a staple for me and my partner, the food is always beautiful and the vibe is incredible. 10/10

So I had my details added to the call back list as there was nothing immediately available and was told it would be about a 30 mins wait. Had a walk around town and went back 40 mins later as I had not received a call, only to find out my name had been crossed off the list. Staff couldn't explain how that happened. Hickories had my money instead.

Amazing! Come here every couple of months. Love it everytime. Thai special is fabulous

Everything is just perfect! They nail it - so delicious!

Love it soooo much. Come here on the time on my lunch break, servers are always so lovely and the service is relatively quick. Cant fault any of the food at all it’s all perf.

We had such a great time in this restaurant. Staff arranged better table for 4 of us plus baby, highchair were provided as well.Pizzas were delicious. Highly recommend this place.

I have been here a few times and experienced lovely customer service, as well as the food, but this time not so much. When walking through the door to be seated, we were greeted with an unhappy employee who had a moustache and chin hair, who later served us. Food was practically thrown at us, became impatient and demanding when deciding how many sauces I wanted, and only seemed to be in a good mood when we wanted the bill. Food was amazing, just abit disappointed with the service.

So good we came back the second night of our trip to Shrewsbury! Incredible food great service and very reasonable prices. Definitely one to recommend and will come back when we next visit.

Yum yum pizza , good system of no bookings you just turn up and see what's the wait time and they ring you when your table is ready

Always been a lovely restaurant. Staff are always welcoming & friendly. Really tasty pizzas & sides, can’t ever complain ✌🏽

I have wanted to try dough and oil for a while. I had planned this week to get takeaway whilst I waited for my son to finish his activity in the town. So at around 5:30 on Friday I went in with my daughter and ordered threw pizza's. The blonde lady with a fringe checked with the chefs if they could do three pizza's which they said they could. I paid, left my name and was told to return in 30 minutes. So I returned after having collected my son, arriving at 6:10 (so having given an extra 10 minutes to prepare my food). I went inside and was ignored by numerous staff. The man with dark wavy hair, styled like curtains told me "I'll get to you in a bit" in a somewhat blunt manner. I overlooked this, it was busy, I appreciate people can be short when stressed. After 5 minutes of waiting he asked me if he could help. I explained I had placed an order for 3 pizza's and stated my name. He then began looking on various screens. Then he walked behind the counter and started talking to the chefs. It was obvious that my order hadn't been placed, but no-one explained this to me. I waited, still nothing. The man with curtains then began dealing with some issue on the phone. Each time he caught my eye he just gave an irritated look. I mean how dare I wait for the pizza's I have ordered and paid for. Then after about 10 minutes he approached me and told me "that'll be £39.95" I explained I'd already paid, he just walked off. I then after another few moments of being ignored and no explanation said I would need to go and move my car. I went and moved my car, returned to the store with two children in tow. This time the man with dark curtained hair ignored me. The lady who originally served me then asked what I needed. Again I explained that I had ordered pizza at 5:30 (by this point we were at around 6:25), she then asks my name, darts off and produces 3 pizza's. She then walks off. There was no apology or anything, or explanation. Absolutely horrendous service - treated as though I was nothing, expected to pay twice and given no explanation. Just left waiting with two children who at the point of leaving were very upset. The pizza was okay, but I won't return, I've had better service in fast food restaurants

Such a lovely little spot. We stupidly didn't make a booking so we popped to their sister bar across the road for a drink whilst we waited (worth it) The pizzas were great and the champion was the mac and cheese, nearly a week and we're still talking about it. 10/10 definitely recommend.

Delicious real pizzas Big size Filling and tasty.

Banging pizzas, swift friendly service. Ok selection of alcohol, nice ipa, fair price. However! I wasnt presented with a bill, just a card machine with total on. CBA to ask for one. I would've tipped but assumed there was a service charge.

Great place. Can't book so be prepared to wait and be called when your table is ready. Sourdough Pizza is possibly the best I've tasted in the UK. Great atmosphere, perfect for friends or family.

Best Pizza in Shropshire by some distance! Just lovely

Good vibes and a cool restaurant. However it can get very overwhelming with all the background noise. The times I’ve been, it’s taken quite a long time to be served. One time it took over an hour, I just think there seems to be a period where the workers are really stressed and it gets busy. Their pizza is nice though :)

After having a previous fantastic pizza experience we felt on this occasion the standard had slipped. The pizza arrived with no cutlery or napkins. We did need cutlery as the pizza was soggy in the middle so would have been messy to eat with your hands. We felt the Pizza toppings were sparse compared to previous ones, certainly didn’t feel good value for money. Something seems to have happened/changed that has dramatically impacted on Dough & oil. I hope this isn’t a slippery slope downhill.

The most amazing pizzas! A short wait to be seated as all tables occupied yet excellent service considering how busy they were - no food intolerances so absolutely no issue with menu choices. In fact service and food was exceptional for what is a very popular eatery in the town - can highly recommend if you don't walk in expecting to be seated immediately - it is well worth the wait for a table!

Pretty trendy pizza place but wasn’t amazed by it. The atmosphere was nice but very loud with fans going nonstop. The pizza itself was alright but not good enough to warrant a return trip here. I know that oil is in the name but I wasn’t expecting the ridiculous levels of oil on this pizza. The service was slow but very friendly, I don’t want to mark them down too much here because there were only two members of staff doing all the service for a full restaurant. Overall it wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad at all. If you’re a fan of this oily cheesy pizza it’s well worth a visit but it wasn’t to my taste.

Some of the best pizza in Shrewsbury and that's saying a lot

Some of the best pizza I’ve had in ages and a solid selection of beer to wash it down too. The lads serving were a friendly bunch and the food came in good time. Would recommend their sister bar, Oil, as well (just across the road).

Great food, very friendly and good service, cool and tasteful interior. The regular events live film nights look brilliant too.

Really cool place, good atmosphere. We were given water literally as we were sat which I was impressed with. The staff were all really friendly and helpful, the food was amazing. Definitely coming here again

Super delicious sourdough based pizzas. Craftsmanship 1a. There are even vegan and vegetarian pizzas. The service staff is super friendly and attentive. The ambience has a bit of a "diner" touch with modern elements.

Consistently great pizzas, friendly service to match and a really great vibe about the place too. Edit: 3 years later and this place is still our go to when out in Shrewsbury. Countless visits and never a letdown!

This is one of the best restaurants we have ever eaten at. There was a slight mix up with my food, however, it was handled so professionally. Service was amazing and the food was so delicious. Highly recommend

Got told about this place by a friend so we chanced a walk in. The pizzas are fantastic and I loved the decor in the restaurant.

Pizzas are amazing, the decor is chill. Very worth a visit

Went for a evening meal, food was delicious and service was excellent Alice was our server very welcoming and friendly will definitely come again, would recommend x

Stumbled upon this little gem whilst waiting to go ghost hunting at the prison. Delicious Miles Davis and Philipo (pizzas) with a Tommy Gun side, the dough was so good and the whipped feta, yummmm! Lovely staff, we sat outside and soaked up the Saturday night buzz with a Christmas twist. Couldn't have been better, highly recommended!

Great spot. Great food. Great service

Great food and atmosphere thanks for making me feel so welcome.

Excellent food, pizza freshly cooked and very tasty. Also had Mac cheese and breadsticks with feta whip - fabulous and reasonably priced. Service very good and friendly too. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely tAsty!!! Tlthey should start opening more around the world 🌍

I went here with my wife and 2 grandchildren after reading some of the previous reviews. The pizzas were OK but certainly not as good as many of the comments would lead you to believe. We had four different pizzas and they were all quite soggy in the middle. The music they played was also quite loud.

Absolutely love this place! Everything about it...5 stars!

Tasty food, reasonably priced, quick service. We ordered 3 pizzas and a salad plus drinks. It was busy at lunch so we had to sit at bench on stools shared with another family which wasn’t ideal but no other complaints.
