Five stars for Dough in Fairfield! We had a fantastic experience. The service was super fast, which was a huge plus with our hungry crew. It's definitely a great spot for families with kids, and I could easily see it working for a larger group too. Plus, the pizza was delicious and we loved that we could customize it to exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this place, mostly for the live entertainment. He played the guitar & song all the greats from the 70s. Secondly the food was delicious. Staff was really young, but they did pretty well. Decor is appealing. They have a full bar set up indoor and outdoor seating. I wouldn't mind returning again.

Good eats, great service. The menu is highly curated and the waitress had no problem walking me through the toppings and even allowed for flexibility for adjustments/additions. The other service members were pleasant and accommodating when it came to spices and extra plates kr clearing the tables. The atmosphere is rustic and thoughtful, down to the undertable coat hooks, and sound proofing ceilings, so a big table like ours still felt intimate and unobtrusive. The food was delicious and hot, with clear view of the large industrious pizza ovens. Thank you for making one of the last meals with my coworker special. Easy to see why this place gets busy. Plus u can smell it from a mile a way, no exaggeration. 10/10

Nice atmosphere. Quick service. Pizza with shishito peppers and with pepperoni and honey were flavorful. Steak was good. Only dish I did not love was Gazpacho. Will return

As a family w really like this place, we have dined here twice and have been satisfied both times. Hosts and servers are polite and on point, food is good, they are kid friendly and ambiance is great. Last time we were there we saw part of the restaurant reserved for an Italian 1 year old birthday party, so it seems that people like it for private events as well. Food was delicious and I love the fact that they give children crayons and coloring page.

Loved this place. Stopped by on a whim, and had an excellent dinner. Got the beet salad. Truly so good. And the Godzilla pizza. We also started out with some zucchini chips. Our waiter Matty was great. Attentive without being annoying. Can’t wait to try more pizzas!

This place is to die for!!! I pass it everyday in my way to work and everyone in the areas recommends it to me. Finally this past week I was able to go and I was NOT disappointed in the slightest. We were seated immediately. When you walk in it has a farm house and cozy vibe to it. We ordered the olives as an appetizer and it came with sourdough bread. The olives were out of this world. The mix that they use to coat the olives is insane. I’ll be back JUST for the olives!! We ordered the Margarita pizza and it was phenomenal- Very light and delicious. I always feel heavy and gross after eating pizza but I felt great after eating here. I look forward to returning!
