Dough & Oil in Shropshire

Just fantastic place will be back again and again

Great pizza 🍕 Best milkshake ever

Fantastic Pizza & Outstanding Service! We had a wonderful day trip to Shrewsbury and decided to visit Dough & Oil—what a fantastic choice! From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making us feel right at home. Now, let’s talk about the pizza—absolutely delicious! The dough was perfectly light and crispy, with amazing toppings that tasted so fresh. Every bite was bursting with flavour, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Whether you're a pizza lover or just looking for a great place to eat in Shrewsbury, I highly recommend Dough & Oil. We’ll definitely be back!

We went for a team dinner on 12/03/2025 and all decided never to go again Sat out waiting for a table- as wait was atleast 45 mins- it was freezing cold When we placed our order . As food cooking will also take time. and asked when can we be seated inside- we were informed oh you have already placed your order so no you cannot be moved We were then also informed there was no chicken options - only meat options were ham and something else And when we were waiting to pay and one kindly server took pity on us and said we can wait inside in the warm whilst we pay, we were then told, not very politely that we can’t stand inside as we are crowding the place We did say it’s freezing outside and it’s raining , the person still said nope we have to go out Yes all these remarks and encounters were with the same person and yes all 10 of us felt very let down by this We have gone to dough and oil before Have always loved the food and have had great service But this experience has been so awful, we vowed never to go back and had to finally go to a local pub for a cup of tea and some warmth I don’t know who that person was , manager or otherwise - all I can say to them is , no human deserves to be treated the way we were treated by yourself

We were not let in despite waiting as we were told initially. We were left out in the cold, and we had a disappointing experience.

I always enjoy going to Dough & Oil. The food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is always great.

Great place, really good pizza and good value

Cute little pizza place. Great pizzas. Good value.

So good and not expensive! Have the cloud9 cocktail :)

Good vibe. The tomato pizza base is a bit heavy on the oregano.

So nearly 5 stars but gluten free base for one guest was just 'ok'. Non gluten pizzas were great,especially the Miles Davis, and worthy of a return visit. Thank you team Dough and Oil

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, nice drinks and bar snacks. Great place to meet friends for a drink and option to have an amazing pizza too.

Wow what a find after having a drive out to Shrewsbury. Visited on a Friday evening and was fully booked, we had a call in 10 minutes to say a table was ready! We got served by a lovely friendly lady with dark hair. The food was delicious - Best pizza we have ever had and great value! Thanks for a lovely meal and we will visit again when in the area!

Visited a couple of times now and by far one of the best places for Pizza. Great innovative choices and friendly staff. Sometimes can’t get in due to fully booked but a reflection on how good the Pizzas are.

Really excellent pizza. Love the ambience in the restaurant and straightforward, swift service. I had the sweet leek pizza, M had the venison pepperoni and J had the special (hot honey chicken, BBQ sauce, sweetcorn and peppers). All of them were delicious and the house salad was amazing. Highly recommend.

Absolute gem … warm welcome, friendly & helpful staff. Excellent pizzas; the dough was prefect with tasty fresh ingredients- far better than the mass produced high street chain pizza. The side salad had a mix of fresh ingredients, with lashings of hard cheese shavings. Not even the lack of a hot drinks ( machine had broken down) could dent a prefect lunch. Well done team -

The restaurant is funky and the staff were really nice. The food was also exceptional

Delicious pizzas with interesting toppings. Great vibe for kids and grownups alike. The arcade machine downstairs was a particular highlight Very friendly staff too and excellent service. I would highly recommend this place.

We love it. We live really near. Very busy and have to wait to get in, but seriously worth it.

The pizza quality here is off the scale and service outstanding. Also great value. Absolutely love it here and try and call in once a month at least. If you like heat, try the spicy sausage one! It’s the best best I’ve ever eaten and always comes out to the same quality.

Been here a number of times and never disappointed. Fantastic quality pizza always.

Had a really enjoyable family meal here over the xmas period. With the family scattered all over the country we settled on Shrewsbury as a middle meeting place and the staff went above and beyond for us giving us access to a little basement area. I went for “The Roni” pizza, a sourdough base topped with mozzarella & tomato with a really nice flavoursome smoked venison pepperoni. Rather than a desert I opted for a vanilla milkshake which was fresh and enjoyable too.

Delicious pizza, fab Mac and cheese!

Daughter, son in law and grandson visiting, they were ravenous and wanted a quick early lunch, service was excellent and the pizzas fantastic. Daughter chose to share and normally i wouldn't have chosn anything with blue cheese or harrisa but bot were great flavor combinations and delicious. A great local restaurant.

Pizza was absolutely fantastic, but as I paid the bill I gave a the waitress 80 pounds, the food was 65 so I said call it 70 with a 5 pound tip...she didn't return so I went and asked why I hadn't gotten 10 pounds back, they said I had given them 70 so no change, I know 100 percent I gave them 80 as all I had any pockets were 20 pound notes, I didn't want to have an argument so I left but it left a sout taste in my mouth, never pay with cash at this restaurant

Really great place, had a 10 min wait to get in but sat outside looking at the menu and before we knew it we were asked to come inside, I had a lovely cocktail "rumrage" 🍸 followed by the mushroom pizza mac-n-cheese with bacon bits both were out of this world, all the stuff we spoke to were lovely and helpful, great price to, they could easily charge more if they wanted to I recon but the pricing is very fair. Highly recommend 👌

Our favourite place to eat. Fantastic food and friendly service. Very relaxed atmosphere. Thanks :)

Yum. Pizza is so good. Staff are good looking and cheerful, helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Did I mention the amazing, delicious pizza? And they have a photo booth. Very cool.

Great pizza Great staff Oh and beer 👌

Fantastic pizza. I had the pepperoni, which of course was venison, given the Shropshire location! Very cool ninja turtles feel to the place, with arcade games down stairs to boot. Really good stuff x

Warm welcome for our family of 4 for early Saturday evening food, ensuring that we got a normal booth (our 2 children would have struggled sitting up higher on bar stools). The kids loved their pizza and my wife enjoyed her order from the specials board. I'm a coeliac and have to be strictly gluten free. I had a choice of two bottled beers which was refreshing (literally) but unfortunately they were out of GF pizza bases. Anya (hopefully correct spelling!) was very apologetic and said she would see what chef Sam could do. The outcome was a decent cheese/meats platter with all the trimmings. Well done team, great service! Good price point and bustling but friendly atmosphere. Decoration was on point. We will return...

We went here before our ghost tour at Shrewsbury Prison. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We were lucky to be seated immediately (though it did get busy as people had to wait for a table due to how busy it was) and our food came really quickly. Would definitely recommend 'The Roni'. Lovely fresh pizza and tasty. Would definitely recommend but try to come a little earlier in the afternoon or be prepared to wait for a table (worth the wait!)

Pizza was burnt and it wasn't nice at all

Amazing pizzas and shakes, make sure you have an appetite before going!

Wow! What a place, loved it, Anya was the best! She looked after us, gave great reccos and was a slay girl. So happy to have found such a cool spot

Love this place. Great pizza. Great service. Super drinks. See you soon.

When we arrived they had no where for us to sit in however we did sit outside with a heater and we were quite snug. Food was very good as was the service. We would definitely return

If you want a pizza out of this world and I'd say in my opinion the best pizza in Shrewsbury if not anywhere then you must try here the place is fantastic the staff are so friendly and helpful and the food is sooo tasty the best ever Pizza without a doubt

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.

Tasty food and friendly staff, what else could you ask for?

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!

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

Best pizza I’ve had outside Italy!

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!)

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Really top quality pizza, highly recommended.

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.

Delicious pizza & fantastic margaritas!

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.

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!!!!

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.

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

Very nice food and very good service 👌
