The Dough Thrower

First, a haiku about celebrating your friend’s relationship: Your love blooms so bright, My heart swells with pride and joy A bond that’s so right. This place is awesome for food and a casual setting, perfect for double dates. Great food and service. BUT THOSE RIBS ARE JUST BANGING!!! It melts in your mouth like a pig tied up out in the open in a hot summers day.

Great pizza with a great favour. The Dough Thrower isn’t shy to push the boundaries in terms of what they can put on a pizza. Merging, blending and crossing over from alternative dishes. They are on the pricier side at an average of £15.50 a pizza but Wales has no competitor so be my guest Dough Thrower.

First time visit for 3 out of the 4 of the group, my OH had visited previously. Good customer service started with some questions to Ben via email in regards to sending a copy of the menu and some menu changes (I'm not a fan of chicken wings but I heard good things about the Korean BBQ sauce from previous reviews and wanted to try this with chicken dunkers which they had no problem with doing, it was really tasty and it really needs to be offered as an option on the dips!). Pizza's (regular and calzone) were really good, will probably try a Detroit next time, might also get a takeaway and there seemed to be a good few takeaway customers during our visit which didn't affect our service at all. Our waiter was friendly and provided good service and others in our group said the food was really good. Was a lovely night for a belated birthday (13th).

Edit: heard from Ben who has gone out of his way to encourage me to return and honestly this kind of customer service is rare. Its nice to see a place stand by a product they clearly believe in. Got a takeaway earlier, it tasted alright but the cooking wasn't very good, The middle was stodgy and soggy and the cheese hadn't even melted thoroughly. I expected better at this price point.

So far, my favourite pizza in Cardiff. The dough is up there, but they really excel on the flavour and topping combinations. The restaurant is small and low key, which is great for casual eating and soaking up the food. The drinks selection fits well and the side menu makes a refreshing change for a pizzeria. Would recommend booking to ensure you get a table!
