Happy Dough Lucky in Nottingham

We ordered a selection of pizza's for work lunch, they were all wonderful. They arrived hot and on time, delivered with a smile. We would definitely recommend Happy Dough Lucky

This was my first time trying happy dough lucky pizza and it definitely won’t be my last. The pizza was so fresh and filling and had by far the best vegan cheese on a pizza I’ve tried in Nottingham. If you are a vegan you must make sure you come here as the pizza is incredible. The cheese is creamy and lacks the ‘stick to the top of your mouth’ texture that many other vegan pizzas have. It’s also great to see more exciting vegan toppings than just the normal margarita/vegetables. Can’t wait to try more soon! The team is also incredibly cheerful and welcoming!

I ordered a deliveroo from Happy Dough Lucky and the deliveroo rider decided to steal a box of doughballs from my order. Owner replaced these for me and added some doughnuts too for the inconveniencePizza, doughballs and doughnuts were all great, would definitely eat there againFantastic service, really appreciate them going the extra mile!

Fui con un amigo el fin de semana. Obviamente, una experiencia diferente ahora debido a las restricciones de Covid, pero lo suficientemente agradable.Eran buenos servidores, podían ver que se preparaba la pizza, lo cual era bueno. Disfruté mucho la pizza, sabrosa y estaría feliz de pedirles nuevamente.

El pizzero era genial, ¡era un placer ver a alguien con tanto entusiasmo por la vida! Corrió con alegre entusiasmo para traernos los menús, tomar nuestro pedido y sacar nuestra pizza con una sonrisa alegre. Una experiencia maravillosa, cómodos sofás y que el bigote del pizzero siga iluminando los días de los pizzeros de Nottingham.

TL; DR Tomó un trago, la comida cayó, así que rodamos. Dispara, cae y rueda.Nunca antes había sentido la necesidad de dejar una crítica negativa, y he estado en algunos lugares en mal estado para comer. Así que ahora sabes que lo he pasado muy mal comiendo en este lugar. El grupo de 4 personas pidió 4 pizzas. 40 minutos (est.) Más tarde se sirvieron 3 y me dijeron que venía el mío. Entonces, noté que un miembro del personal tomaba un trago en la barra y luego procedía a dejar caer mi pizza en el piso de la cocina después de que estaba cocinada. Luego vinieron a mi mesa 4 - 5 minutos más tarde para decirme qué sucedió (lo que yo había visto), y luego dijeron que mi pizza sería "unos minutos más".Se hizo la masa de mi pizza y luego se dejó en el mostrador durante otros 6 minutos más o menos, momento en el que les dije que simplemente cancelaran el pedido y nos trajeran la cuenta, ya que todos los demás habían terminado sus comidas. Tuve que pedirles que quitaran un pedido de papas fritas de la cuenta, y en ningún momento se disculparon ni ofrecieron nada para compensarme por la espera.Eran claramente poco profesionales y fueron una experiencia gastronómica muy desagradable. Definitivamente no volveré aquí.

¡Definitivamente recomendaría Happy Dough Lucky a mis amigos! El servicio fue increíble, nuestro camarero fue tan encantador y todo salió muy rápido.Las pizzas estaban deliciosas y las coberturas muy interesantes, me alegro de haber elegido algo que normalmente no elegiría porque era increíble (me dieron la remolacha y el queso de cabra).Su selección de cócteles también encajó bien con las pizzas.

We visited yesterday with our young daughter. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We all enjoyed our meal.

We had a brilliant evening for my daughters 3rd birthday. I contacted happy dough lucky on the friday after another restaurant wasnt able to accommodate our request, and they were able to help with our party of 13 for the next day.We arrived an hour early as our event we were attending finished early, happy dough lucky were great allowing us to have drinks and sit with our children in the rustic but modern warehouse type feel bar, the music was however a little loud for that time of day (6pm) but they were really great and turned it down when we asked politely.Now on to the amazing food, I actually think that this was the best pizza, doughballs and meatballs I've ever had, this was also echoed throughout the party, even my fussy 6 year old daughter ate every crumb... I mean who would have thought peas and pesto on a pizza base would be so amazing to taste!!!! Thank you again, we will definitely be back on our next trip to Nottingham. We wish you well and every success during this hard time the world is currently facing.

My go to restaurant in Notts! Pizzas are always delicious - without doubt the best around. Special mention to the team who are always so friendly & helpful - they even got eggs in especially for me!

We waited over an hour for our food to be made. If we had been told at the start that the oven wasn't ready and there'd be a wait, we would have gone elsewhere. There was absolutely no haste in making the food, and the chef was quite happy chatting away to people whilst our pizzas laid bare on the counter. There was a photoshoot going on for some reason at the same time and place, clearly their priorities are there.Pizza for £12 wasn't bad, but it's similar to Franco Manca or other decent pizza places. Nothing amazing and certainly not worth the 1+ wait.Would not recommend.

We had great pizza at this lovely place with friendly staff. Very simple napolitana pizzas with hands on local Italian inspiration

Stopped here for a pizza before going to the arena to see a concert. The food was excellent, and reasonably priced with a good selection of beers. Good, friendly service made the experience even better.

Cooked by Robert and absolutely the best pizza everytime we come here.forget rubbish like pizza hut, this is the real deal!

Almost as good as in Naples. At first we took 2 pizzas but was that good so we ordered another 1 for 2 :D

Decent venue and friendly staff. Pizza ‘fine’, but very measly toppings. Took a light year to get drinks. Kids literally running around on a Saturday evening. Salad was atrocious! Just don’t bother!

So after reading Some reviews I was expecting great things Arrived at 5:00pm on a Saturday evening Food was served on the left with a pizza oven at full blast and on right there was a bar Lack of staff seemed the issue only one person to take drink orders serve food as well as attend to other diners We had a show booked for 7pm which at the time of arriving 2 hours prior for food we did not think was going to be an issue Think again / service was poor had to go to bar a couple of times to prompt When pizza finally arrived was burnt Family of 4 £61 for drinks , pizza dough balls and chipsI don’t mind paying only when you receive service and food to compensate Thank god it’s only a pop up Not be attending again

After seeing the reviews I booked this restaurant for our family before heading to a show at the Motorpoint arena.Arrived to find they had no knowledge of our booking despite having it confirmed. This resulted in a 4 year old having sit on a bar stool for the entire meal, which is not ideal!! There was only two staff around, the chef and one person trying to serve at the bar and serve food, which resulted in s delay for everything despite both trying to do what they can.After a 45 minute wait the first pizza arrived but no sign of the rest of the food we ordered. Another 20 minutes and a gentle reminder we received the rest of our food. This is an absolute pet hate of mine and we were sharing the pizzas and side orders so meant we ate it in stages!We left 1.5 hours to eat, but by the time the food had arrived we had a grand total of ten minutes to eat to get to the show on time. For 3 pizzas, 5 side orders & 5 soft drinks was over £80. Happy to pay for good quality food but the side orders were over priced. The food was lovely and we did enjoy it but the service was so bad and delay just spoilt the whole meal. Will not be returning!

We went here before we dropped our daughter at her new university home after seeing good reviews. I'm pleased to say it was up to the standard I was expecting with great fresh pizzas made with quality dough and good friendly service. Amazing dough balls and great selection of drinks.Would definitely recommend it here but the state of the toilets (men's) was a real disappointment! Let's the restaurant down but it could have been a bad day?!Would definitely go back again

We visited on a Saturday around 5.30pm they only had 2 staff working one on the bar and one on the pizzas. It wasn’t very busy but it took over an hour to get three pizza’s. I chased the order up as we had a show to go to and they said it won’t be long the pizza only takes 4 min to cook. Why did we wait over an hour then when it wasn’t busy! when they did arrive there was very little cheese on them and the underside of the pizza’s were burnt. The food is very over priced for what you actually get with very poor service. Won’t be visiting again!

Excellent reviews on trip advisor so thought would try it out. For £12 pizza was expecting food as good as Oscar and Rosie’s or Franco manca in London. Pizza was tasteless, no where near as good as similar competitors and totally overpriced. After asking my friends many said they had visited off the back of trip advisor reviews but experienced the same thing. Was so disappointed and sadly £40 out of pocket after 2 pizzas 2 cokes and a hallumi fries - a bit of a joke!

Myself and a friend have visited and were extremely disappointed with both the quality and the price of this venue. London prices when in Nottingham is not acceptable. The staff are precocious and the owner is strange

The pizzas are really great with great flavour and cooked to perfection. Staff are friendly. There is also a nice quiet bar area as well that wasn’t too busy. I’d definitely recommend this place

We showed up on a Saturday afternoon after hearing great reviews. When we entered the waiter informed us it would be at least a 30 min wait for food, we sat down and he proceeded to take everyone else’s order which is understable as we were the last in. He then didn’t acknowledge us after trying to make eye contact and then started cooking everyone else’s food without even getting us a drink. Bit disappointing. All he had to do was crack a smile and get us a drink and we would have been happy to wait.

Out with my family and wanted to eat lunch somewhere which was new to us. Came across 'Happy Dough Lucky' down one of the smaller roads between Broadway and the Arena. It is in the Lacemarket building and so I was slightly unsure on the set up at first, but turns out it was a 'pop-up' restaurant which has kept going due to its popularity. It was a Saturday mid-day and it was quiet as they had just opened for lunchtime. Friendly welcome and good service. Nice to go somewhere with their own selection of pizzas and drinks, and appreciated the pizzas being explained and level of 'spiciness'. Waited for the pizza to be made from scratch. They tasted good and had good drinks. Certainly would go again if in that area. Can imagine it'll be busy in the evening. One to watch.

Tash and bob were fantastic. Loved the quality of service and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend for couples who want a bit of spice to their life.

Definitely our new favourite pizza place! The staff who served us Saturday evening (sorry didn't get their names!) were so friendly and were clearly passionate about the food and providing excellent service. The Pizza is AMAZING - not too heavy and all the ingredients are clearly fresh and of high quality. Great wine too! Thanks again - we'll be back soon to try the rest of the menu :)

My first experience at Happy Dough Lucky set a new standard for pizza and dough based products. Upon entry I was warmly greeted and escorted to my table and where the menu was both demonstrated as well as broken down into how the restaurant operates only using the freshest ingredients.Spoilt for choice I asked the gentleman what he would recommend, not only did he explain the contents of each dish but how its made making it easy for me to choose. I picked a starter called 'Aracini Balls' which have now taken place as my all time favourite starter! Following that the pizza for the main was an experience of its own with the dough consisting of several different textures; thin in the centre where the toppings were based, expanding out to a thick crispy crust, with a gooey centre! To finish off I chose the chocolate doughnut which like the pizza the texture was perfect with opening up to a melted gooey chocolate filling with a side of ice cream. All things considered with 3 dough based products each were incredibly light and did not even remotely feel 'fattening'. The service was second to none and after our meal I continued to reside within the restaurant to enjoy a drink and chat to the owner about the history of the restaurant which was incredibly engaging. I could not recommend this place any more! its really refreshing to have a venue with a distinctive product. I will be returning soon.

What an amazing place on all counts. Staff happy and helpful, climate was relaxed and homely. Best of all the food was exquisite, I had 3 courses of pure delight from starter to the last morsel of my desert. All freshly made and was advised costructively due to my dietary needs.I had my 'special place' for pizza and dough based products, i now have replaced that with Happy Dough Lucky. Thank you i shall be returning frequently.

Well worth a visit this place! Anybody looking for top class pizza, great cocktails and good music .... this is your place! The guy that runs it and his staff are great and very welcoming! Visiting Nottingham? Go treat yourself👍🏻

I recommend this place 10000000%. Food is amazing, the vibe and the service is the best. You'll have so much fun

We were the only ones eating at 7pm on a Saturday evening. The ‘restaurant ‘ is in the corner of a larger bar area , which was also pretty empty, so really lacked atmosphere. The pizza was good but nothing special-£12 a pizza with the amazing reviews I was expecting something else. I won’t be returning.

We came here before going to the arena for food, and were definitely not disappointed. The pizzas were well cooked with a good array of toppings. We had three of the veggie pizzas which all of which can be highly recommended. The guy running the floor was also doing an incredible job. He was literally “running the floor”. Can’t help that feel help is needed for him, despite him doing such a sterling job. The place is littered in dough puns, too. Great stuff.

This is up there in my top 3 of pizzas in the UK! Tasty base and generous toppings of excellent quality mozzarella. We had the lemon roasted broccoli which was so delicious! Staff were super friendly and run off their feet, but the service was spot on. We’ll definitely be back - it gets busy so would advise booking!

We visited before attending a concert nearby. The two guys who run this place have made a little piece of heaven! Sash and Rob you have got it spot on, your service was friendly and attentive and your pizzas were delicious. The current location for your pop up is nicely quirky and provides a good atmosphere. Pizzas mostly priced around £12, and guests can watch them being prepared, using authentic products. I can’t say it enough, we all loved it! Try it for yourselves........soon.

A week ago I went here with my two daughters, and we had the best pizzas that we have had for a long while. It was a Sunday so quite quiet but we were looked after brilliantly by the Boss - So thanks again - will be back !

Hands down the best Pizza i’ve had outside of Italy, if not just as good. If you’re in Nottingham you have to try this place, the staff are epic and the venue is great.

Pizza was amazing, with great Italian sourced ingredients. Rare to see a restaurant in notts with this much attention to detail and care for there food! Service was quick, and chatting with owners was engaging and interesting. Definitely coming back soon

This pizza restaurant occupies a small area of the Lacehouse and you need to book if you want to get a table, service was a little slow, choices are limited but the food is all good, well worth trying not a dominoes pizza.

Friendly place, pizzas taste good (there aren't the best one in Nottingham, but quite good) and the staff is so kind. Cool place to have a dinner.

This restaurant had fantastic reviews on trip advisor, so we figured we’d give it a try for my birthday celebrations. However we arrived to a completely locked building. We waited 5 mins and a member of staff appeared from nowhere to open up. Unfortunately that was off putting walking into a dark restaurant, it wasn’t very clean, the member of staff that opened up also appeared to be chef and waiter all at the same time, toilets didn’t have a lock, no hand wash etc. We sat down to look at the menu and all agreed this wasn’t the kind of service we expected. So we left, massively disappointed!

Visited Happy Dough Lucky Saturday night . Great pizzas . Good choice . Assortment of gins! Staff very good especially Sach , very helpful cheeky chappy😀. Open till 3 am. Will return

Came here for lunch, and ended up leaving a little disappointed. The food took a while to come, especially considering ourselves and one other person were the only people in the shop. When it came, the bits of the pizza that wasn’t burned were lovely. It’s just such a shame they were burnt. Fair play to the guy for giving us a little discount and an apology, but it’s still disappointing. What’s not disappointing are the chilli chips and the dough balls. I’d go just for them if you’re peckish

12 of us booked a week in advance and it’s lucky we did, Saturday nights get busy. Wait staff were great, pizzas were from a short but appealing menu and the sides are amazing. We are quite Mediterranean in our eating approach and normally share food amongst us, which worked in our favour as everyone got to try most and all loved it. All diets catered for and although pizzas come out in convoys of 4, this didn’t affect the evening at all. Drinks and food all reasonably priced and service was on point. Would go again.

Really nice pizza, service could have been better but everyone was nice even so. Quirky small place, would go again

Food was amazing and the staff were so so lovely! Would recommend to anyone :) Ping pong table was also a bonus! (Especially cause I won)

Where do I begin! We were meant to be going to Annie’s Burger Shack Freehouse across the road but got given a 2 hour wait time so had to find another option, we saw happy dough lucky and safe to say we were not disappointed! Welcomed by the loveliest bar man you’ll ever meet (dad later made friends with him) and sat in the bar area with a ping pong table and a brilliant playlist! The amount of starters we had was astronomical, highly recommend chilli fries, halloumi fries and the mozzarella balls- heaven on a plate and they kept on coming!Where do I even begin on the pizzas, the most delicious pizzas I’ve ever had in my 14 years of existence and the gluten free pizzas tasted no different which is very very difficult!Safe to say we’ll be popping in soon but hope to see you at Bustler market too, thank you so much for welcoming the six of us and thank you guys also for the best evening out in quite some time!

Rang up and booked a table, got in the same night for a table of 2 on the 9/2/19. The staff were very attentive! The food was really good, quite basic but done well! The menu was explained when asked and the drinks menu was simple but had everything you needed on there!! Very clean and open, it’s great to see the chef making pizzas by hand in front of you in his leather apron! The decor is quirky and the lighting is just right! The atmosphere was great, very friendly!! Opens til late and serves food til they sell out so all is fresh!! Thankyou for our lovely dinner! Will definitely be back for some drinks the next time I’m out in Nottingham!!

I visited Happy Dough Lucky with 4 friends on Friday night. The cocktails were great, the sides were amazing and the pizza was delicious. The staff were so friendly and made us feel so welcome. We'll definitely be coming back soon!

The owner travelled around different countries to learn how to make the perfect pizza, and he succeeded. I never ate a better pizza. The place is rustical and homelike at the same time with so many nice details and decoration, it's just lovingly furnished. The service is great, I'll definitely come back when I'm in Nottingham.

OMG this place was so good! Such a cute little place with a really nice vibe. Food was delicious! Would definitely recommended and return!!

Service was acceptable, though the ambience overall unremarkable as the venue seemed to be undergoing renovations. The pizza we ordered tasted ok although the dough could’ve been thicker and firmer, and by no means come at a staggering £12 in any case. We also ordered a salad to share (mozzarella and tomato) which would have been a small portion even for a kid. Overall a quite average experience, but definitely overpriced.

Pizza was amazing, with great ingredients. Service was quick, and chatting with owners was interesting. Definitely coming back soon.

Visited Happy Dough Lucky on 5th Feb 2019, great vibe to the place, you can watch the pizzas being made, friendly & attentive staff especially Sach. He gave us some recommendations to go after our meal and he made sure everything was as it should be with our food/drinks. Would definitely recommend going and will definitely visit again on our next visit to Nottingham.

Just eaten here and the food was delicious. Staff were excellent and attentive! Will be back again! Hopefully very soon!

I went to the restaurant with some friends for a quick pizza before a day out, we arrive we’re seated at 1:30, we then waited for 20 minutes before our drinks order was taken. Afterwards we waited until 2:20 for our drinks to arrive and our food order was taken, when the drinks did arrive the waiter spilt water all over my leg and offered no help or cleaning products. Furthermore we waited another 30 mins for the food which is normal and the food was decent but very poor service. Would not return!

Fantastic food. Amazing service. Would recommend the halloumi fries and arancini balls to start and margarita pizza (even though they are all amazing, they do the simple very well)

Went in with my mature friends, expecting something new and it was. Young friendly intelligent pizza craft with original recepies made in front of your eyes with a little spectacle. Halloumi fries and sweet potato fries were delicious! Gluten free menu was available with no hesitation. Great choices on a menu did not overwhelm us and the whole experience created a lovely atmosphere throughout the whole evening. Fantastic services and affordable night out. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent music inspired laughter and conversation. Thank you.

Visited yesterday with my partner, food and drinks were amazing. My partner is Ceoliac and all pizzas are available gluten-free, they were also able to change the recipe for Halloumi fries to allow her to have them. I would absolutely recommend to anyone who loves pizza!

We brought my partners 10 year old here for a special treat. Whilst I appreciate the fact the base of the pizza is really authentic and the restaurant is run by young hip people (It’s a pop-up Instagram and Facebook kind of place)and the service is friendly and attentive....The place is just too expensive.The restaurant was empty on a Saturday evening, very horrible weather, and we were told we were very lucky to get a table on a Saturday without booking, now whether or not the weather (!) had thrown them, and the lack of people meant they were having a break I’m not sure... but it really wasn’t great. We ordered 3 pizzas with chips and dough balls. The chips arrived way before everything else, then the dough balls, followed by the pizzas shortly afterwards. The bases were light, delicious and authentic. Very good. The toppings however were lacklustre and minimal and I’m sure mine didn’t have all of the toppings that the menu listed.3 pizzas, 1 chips, 1 dough balls, 3 soft drinks were £50. This is not a huge bill, but it really really did not seem worth it. So wanted to love it, but such a shame.I left feeling annoyed at the bill, as if I had just funded the next half year in Italy for the hipsters.

Can't fault the food , the venue or prices.But they're irritating as they deliberately ignore messages to book tables. One message they'll reply to, then not to the other.So it's hit and miss - you just need to turn up as they're totally inept at admin.

This place isn't just about the pizza, the welcome on arrival was so warm and friendly, kids loved the ping pong table and it was good to be able to order something off the menu for the kids. You have to try the chilli chips, they are amazing and the dough balls were soaking in garlic which were delicious. As for the pizzas, they were devine! Opposite Annie's Burger Shack....choose this place over a burger any day!

This was a great find . Lovely welcome very friendly staff great atmosphere. Cocktails amazing. Pizzas the best absolutely amazing. Can't wait to go back

Friendly staff and a lovely place, went Saturday afternoon got straight in no issues nice menu lovely fresh pizzas. Would recommend

Fantastic food really enjoyed the delicious pizza and chilli chips. The staff were so friendly helpful and genuine. Great atmosphere I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food! Really enjoyed the food and experience. Great atmosphere and the staff are so friendly. I would highly recommend. Beautifully fresh ingredients.

Happy Dough Lucky is a pop-pup pizza parlour situated in the Lacehouse opposite Annie’s Burger Shack in the Lace Market area of Nottingham. We arrived at about 12:30 on a Saturday and were the first customers closely followed by a couple of women and then later a couple of men. Considering how busy the city was that day (very, despite the cold weather) and how busy Annie’s was it was a disappointing turn out, but it’s no reflection on the food which was superior to my only real comparison – Peters pizza in Loughborough.The decor was typical Nottingham trendy to appeal to millennials and get them thinking about how cool it would be to travel around Italy eating local dishes. They had industrial styled toilets with rusty corrugated iron on the wall and a sink that conjured up images of a Victorian work house (I’m not sure why it just felt rather oppressive).The restaurant was very warm inside and smelt slightly of chip fat until our garlic dough balls started cooking and then we got the nice smell of fresh dough cooking. Rather in conflict with the Italian/travel themed decor was the music which was a mix of Motown, James Brown, Stevie Wonder and various old funk soul tracks. But we weren’t there for the music anyway.As Meghan Trainor might say, you know it’s all about the pizza base and at Happy Dough Lucky they are excellent – crispy on the edges and chewy and flavoursome toward the centre like a classic Neapolitan pizza should be. I am assuming they use the Caputo branded soft wheat flour for their dough since there were bags stacked near the kitchen area.I ordered the Lacehouse lager which was a nice light lager that went down smoothly during the meal. Siggy was driving so she stuck to Diet Coke especially when she tried to order a coffee and the quietly spoken chap serving us (and making the drinks, the food and working out the bill – a real ‘write the them tune, sing the the theme tune’ one man band) apologised that they didn’t have any milk. Or other staff apparently.We forgave him as the fresh smell of basil wafted through the air con and our dough balls arrived. These were covered in hot buttery goodness and very nice to eat.I was able to watch the chap make up our fresh pizza and the cooking time (in a standard industrial looking pizza oven rather than a wood burning oven – it’s a pop-up remember) was about ten minutes max. The tomato sauce on the base had a nice basil and deep tomato flavour and the spicy but sweet chilli jam complimented it well.If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll probably have already figured out what I ordered as dessert as I enjoyed my second pint of lager – it really was slipping down nicely despite my second pint tasting more hoppy than the first (my taste buds had woken up by then I guess).The tiramisu pot was an original twist on the classic tiramisu – all the constituent parts deconstructed leaving the finger biscuits half soft with coffee flavour and half crunchy. It was nice, but serving it in hipster jam jar frustrated rather than augmented the eating experience.All in all, I’m very glad we decided to give Happy Dough Lucky a go rather than opting for the path of least resistance (i.e. Annie’s). The pizza is very authentic and blessed with a fairly decent amount of topping, but I imagine Pizza Express regulars might be disappointed by the pop-up’s limited menu and non-chain alternative ambience.

Great night. Excellent service, couldn't have done more for us. Friendly and professional, especially Louis.

Booked earlier in the week (book as it's not a large restaurant) popped into Nottm for shopping then finished off with a bite to eat at HDL Can't recommend the food enough.Chips soft centre with a crispy outside.Dough balls seemed huge.Pizzas..I had the vegetarian (I'm not a veggie though). I love goats cheese and caramelized onion.. with the apple purée was the deal clenched for me.... Highly recommend (it's pizza No.10)I shared 50/50 with my wife who had the No.8 pizza which was ham and spicy sausage paste!!All had delicious mozzarella on them.take note... Nothing on the pizza was greasy like some cheaper pizzas you can get!!I love the had made pizza bases that are allowed to 'stand' for 48hrs.Ended with the tiramisu which we shared .. two spoons ;)On the whole... a really great night . Deffo go again.It's a relaxing no frills bar/restaurant... great staff welcoming you and on hand to assist with menu choices.What's nice is it's not a huge menu so you're not overwhelmed.

Could not leave a review for this restaurant fast enough call me the pizza is really unlike anything I've ever hi, This service is very friendly and fun peace. Absolutely give it a try, so good! Pizzas are numbered not named, and we got #2 and #5.

Pizza’s all looked at tasted the same even though we had varying pizzas. Chicken was non existent! Deserts were warmed in the microwave. Over priced, not worth it!

We had date night here after reading the amazing reviews on here. Pizza dough is out of this world - like naan bread texture and really good quality toppings. The decor is also really cool and quirky and takes influence from the owner’s travels. The garlic dough balls are also out of this world, and the chilli chips were beaut but a little too hot for us :) We were the only couple in on a Tues eve as they had a party of 30 in doing a food crawl. We will be back!!!

Made an account just to leave a review for Happy Dough Lucky. Not only do they make the best pizza I’ve had out of Italy, they also make it vegan! Highly recommended!

This place is fantastic. The pizza was unbelievable and we’ll definitely be going back again. Great service and atmosphere.

We really loved our impromptu visit to Happy Dough Lucky. The pizza was great, as were the garlic dough balls. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. We even managed to squeeze in dessert and would definitely recommend the Nutella doughnut.

After reading the wonderful reviews we were expecting more. I don't feel that it was good value for money, lacked atmosphere and we're under staffed. Wouldn't go back.

Quick visit on our ‘one night in Nottingham’ trip. Pizza was great. The story behind the place is really nice to know and makes it more enjoyable. Quirky place with a lot of character. Pizza was really good and definitely recommended.

Went with friend and her 9 month old daughter. Staff extremely helpful and welcoming. Amazingly delicious pizza. A bit on the spicy side, but this is the way we liked it.

Went here at the weekend and the pizza was so tasty and the staff were very friendly. Great cocktails too! Will be back very soon!

Had one of the best pizzas(if not the best!) of my fifty plus year old life yesterday evening.Could well have knocked the previous best,twenty long years ago in Milan,from its top spot with its delicious base alone The owner/ chef was very interesting and a fount of knowledge we will definitely be coming back .

I visited happy dough lucky on Saturday lunch time. The pizza was delicious and the staff so friendly and attentive. Will definitely return!

Visited with the kids, really frustrating experience. They had no pizza available, this in itself is fine however it took a good five minutes to tell me this, when we entered they asked if we wanted pizza, fetched a highchair, gave us menus took our drinks orders then told us that food is unavailable. Apologetic enough but very frustrating none the less.Also they do not provide baby changing facilities.

Really enjoyed our evening here. Sash ( owner and chef ) really personable and knowledgeable. Enjoyed talking about the pizza making! A great find ! Phil from Liverpool

Came here with my two children having read good reviews. Decent fresh pizza made to order in front of your eyes Laid back environment

After looking on trip advisor we decided to try here for a quick tea before the cinema due to its many excellent reviews. We were disappointed to say the least and can’t believe it’s rated so highly. We ordered a pizza to share with two sides; chicken strips and chips. The pizza was very average and the sides were very over priced. If the price point was cheaper we wouldn’t have been so disappointed. We felt the atmosphere itself is definitely more geared towards a night out. I could not recommend as there prices reflect a premium pizza/experience which it sadly wasn’t.

Decided to try out based on tripadvisor reviews. Nice atmosphere and friendly waiters (and owner?). We ordered the garlic butter balls mainly off the strength of reviews - they weren’t as garlicky as expected but perhaps our expectations were too high because of reviews... The courgette pizza and chicken pizza were both very good, with an authentic ‘wet’ or soggy centre the way we found pizza was in Naples.However the star of the show was certainly the ricotta and Nutella doughnut. Not a classical doughnut, I think this was made of pizza dough and stuffed with ricotta and Nutella served with soft serve ice cream (salted caramel, the night we went - I understand the flavour changes regularly). THIS. DESSERT. WAS. AWESOME!!!!!! The warm gooey doughnut was perfectly complemented by the ice cream. Bill came to £42 for 1 starter, 2 pizzas, 1 dessert and 1 pint - not exactly cheap but overall worth it. If returning I would probably stick to mains and that amazing doughnut

Search and you will find.. forget high street commercial outlets, life is far too short... this is a must for anyone looking for cracking artisans pizza.. staff are great, helpful and love what they do.. best pizza this side of Napoli .... well what are you waiting for.. go.. now!!

I visited on a Thursday evening, 7pm with two friends.It took approx 1 week of messaging and chasing up responses on Instagram dms to get a table booked, I tried to ring and the answer phone message asked me to use their WhatsApp to book. I decided to contact them through FB and to their credit, got a response very quickly to say my table was confirmed. If you don't want me to book through Instagram, don't try and do it - just tell me how else to.We arrived a couple of minutes after 7 due to traffic and had to wait about 5 mins for a table, despite it not being busy - they just didn't seem to have cleared any of the empty tables, but they have have had a rush just before we arrived, I don't know.We got seated and the host and waiter were both very nice, we had a good chat with the host over the course of the evening and everyone seemed very friendly. We ordered chilli fries, sweet potato fries, a Margherita, nduja sausage and a prosciutto & egg pizza. The fries came out first for some reason, we didn't order them as a starter but maybe that's just the protocol there. Can't comment on the chilli fries as I didn't try them but the sweet potato ones were crispy and sweet as they should be. The pizzas came out together and we shared them between the three of us. The crust was good, it tasted a little like popcorn, but that could have been the semolina. Good char on the base and the crust was thick, but the amount of cheese let it down - too thickly distributed so it created pools of oil that softened the base, making it floppy and difficult to eat. It also led to the dreaded situation where you take a bite and all the cheese comes off in one go, leaving you with a mouth full of mozzarella and a cheeseless pizza. The sauce let them down too, bland and thin in my opinion. The nduja was nice though, as was the egg which set nicely allowing us to share it between the slices.We also had dessert, a bowl of homemade Coco pops ice-cream each which came from a whippy machine. They didn't have enough for 3 bowls in one go though, so 15 minutes after watching my friends eat their, I got my bowl (admittedly they did provide the last of what was left in the machine to have whilst I waited). I liked the ice-cream, but it could have done with a few pops on top for crunch and got a little samey after a while. Overall I didn't dislike the food, I just wasn't enamoured with is, and as it's the 2nd best restaurant in notts on TripAdvisor, I was expecting much much more.We paid £69 for the three of us. 2x fries, 3x pizzas, 1 medium wine (£7.50!), 1 beer (£4.50) and three bowls of ice-cream (£4.50 each). Too much in my opinion, especially for what we got.

We went there with some friends and the place was buzzing. The staff are great the service is quick and the pizzas are amazing. Seriously that dough is spot on. Would defiantly recommend if you are looking to have good pizza in town. Positive: pizzas are too filling (70kg medium built)Negatives: pizzas are too filling so I couldn’t have what looked and smelled like a great doughnut

This place is the dogs bollocks, the vegan cheese is to die for and the service was in impeccable, extremely friendly and very welcoming. Great location and beautifully furnished. The food was delicious. 11/10.

Visited here with my husband, 7 and 3 year old. What can I say apart from wow! A real lovely experience. The children made such a fuss of and were so excited to get involved with the making of their pizza. The food itself is beautiful clearly made with top quality ingredients. Thank you to Sachin for making it a wonderful experience for all of us.

Really lovely pizzas and sweet potato fries. Good choice of freshly made meat and veggie pizzas and sides. Nice range of beers and cocktails. Would definitely go again if it sticks around.

My husband and I were in Nottingham for our wedding anniversary and saw the great reviews for Happy Dough Lucky so wanted to give it a go...it was incredible!!! The service was second to none and we felt welcomed straight away! The food...to sum it up my husband said his pizza was better than any we had had in Italy and the dough balls and chilli fries were also delicious! Couldn’t have asked for a better evening and can’t wait to see the guys set up in their own place soon. Thank you

Great food, nice music and excelent service. Pizza was really nice. Chili chips the best We will go back for sure

From start to finish everything was amazing! The food, the service, the atmosphere, my brother has coeliac disease and there is so much choice for him, he said it was the best gluten free pizza he had had in ages! Will definitely be coming again, would recommend the chilli chips as a side as they’re so tasty!

I’ll be honest, we decided to go to Happy Dough Lucky because we love bad puns - but the chili fries were something else, and all of our individual dietary needs were catered for: we had a gluten-free pizza, a vegetarian pizza without cheese, one without mushrooms... There really is something for everyone! Not to mention the amazing service and the cool atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

A great night, fantastic food, amazing drinks and the team and Sach in particular are the bees knees. If you haven’t tried this place yet, then do so. Happy Dough Lucky is just fantastic

The team should be proud of what they have achieved, this place is just great, like really really good - great food, great service and lovely atmosphere.I will be recommending it to both family and friends and our experience was exceptional. Each looked after us incredibly well and told us stories of their journey which was wonderful. So great to see a restaurant do things properly.Everyone should try this place (or three times) it’s by far the most charming and wonderful restaurant we’ve been to and we eat out a lot

Couldn’t fault a thing about this place. The staff were so friendly and efficient, the food was served quickly and was definitely one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Only downside was the cocktails went down far too easily! 100% would recommend!

The menu is not hugely extensive but the pizza selection is interesting and tempting and the pizzas we had were both great. Super friendly staff and a decent soundtrack in the background topped off a cracking lunch.
