I’m going to let Drew Lazor’s Meal Ticket write up do the talking, but in short here are the new menu items:
PBB Zone (Peanut Butter Bacon Zone)
Smorez Zone (enough said)
D.P. Dogs (A delicious hot dog wrapped in our house made dough)
I’d suggest checking out the flickr gallery here

Meal Ticket swung by the U-City location of D.P. Dough (33 S. 40th St.) to check out some brand-new menu offerings from the spot many consider to be Drunk Kid Valhalla.
Managing partner Mike Nagao says that while D.P. Dough is a chain that values product consistency across the board, he stressed to the founders that their urban location calls for a more pliable approach. (Many other locations sit in more remote college towns.) They agreed and gave him the green light to whip up some items unique to his store.
There are now D.P. Dogs, sizable all-beef franks wrapped in housemade dough (one for $1.99, or three for five bucks) and served with a secret cheese sauce. They’re doing cinnamon/sugar “CinnaSinStix” with housemade cream cheese icing, and some insane cheesy pesto sticks, as well. Then there are the real bad boys: The Dessert Zones. These things are serious. Especially the PBB Zone, for which Nagao combines a cannoli-like ricotta cheese mixture, chunky peanut butter and a sprinkling of crispy bacon (!). It’s a salty-sweet kind of thing for sure, but the bacon is pretty subtle throughout the whole thing, just a slightly savory foonote to what by all accounts is a really solid idea for something to eat after you’ve had 60 beers (it comes with a side of maple syrup). There’s also a gooey, melty S’morez Zone, combining chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker crumbs.
Nagao teases that hes got a Nutella and banana concoction in the R&D stages right now, but we’re fairly confident y’all can get your calzone-ified sugar fix with those two dessert items while you wait for that one to drop.

Hello everybody!
The Super Bowl is just days away and we’d like to help you if you still haven’t decided on your food selection for the party you’re having or on what to take to the party you’re going to!
Any large orders placed today or tomorrow will receive 15% off our already discounted catering prices! We will also be able to guarantee delivery outside of our usual “zone” (excuse the pun) if you plan ahead with us. So if you’ve been getting these emails and lamenting the fact that you’re just too far, here’s your chance!
All of our food is great for sharing but we know what game day is all about and we won’t disappoint with our popular wings and large choice of sauces. Our catering prices and choices are here and don’t forget, if you let us know your order by tomorrow, you’ll get 15% off!

Email us at dpd@dpdoughphilly.com or call us at 215-796-9809 to place your order.
Thank you for the support during our fundraising period — we were impressed by the turnout and amount of positive feedback we recieved. Again, thanks to everyone that helped Haiti.
Just FYI, we donated the funds to Yele.

Unless you live under a rock or despise The Internets, you’ve surely heard of the tragedy in Haiti. Though there are numerous ways to help right now — texting, local volunteering, online donations — the four of us wanted to do our first globally good deed as proprietors.
Between now and Sunday’s close (that’s 2:30am Monday morning technically) we’ll be donating 5% of sales to Haitian relief. We haven’t picked which fund so if you know a good one let us know, but we’re going to find one that minimizes the administrative overhead so more money goes directly to the people that need it.
5% of sales. Not “a portion of the proceeds” or “5% of profits” or some other way to water down a charitable cause. 5% of sales. If you buy a $6.85 calzone, we donate $0.34 cents. Simple as that.
This is going on from now until Sunday 1/17. Thanks for your support.

We are now taking orders for any holiday parties or events that you may have between now and New Year’s Eve/Day. We”ll build a menu around what you need and the zones you prefer; also, don’t forget about our breadstix, cheesestix, wings and dunkers.
Lastly, we are testing out our mini zones (2 mini zones = 1 full size zone). This may be a great alternative for those of you who want to provide some food but don’t want to stuff the face of your guests.
Please email us at dpd@dpdoughphilly.com or call us at 215-796-9809 with your request.
Thanks!

From the D.P. Dough Philly team!
To show that we are the celebratory kind, we will be offering the following shenanigans:
1. Mary, as a zombie, will be rising from the dead to take your orders from open until 5 pm, at which point she must return to the crypt. After that, don’t be scared of ordering with our black cat, Leanne. Crossing her path will bring you nothing but good fortune – or just delicious food, which is good too.
2. Every order will come with a treat! If you’re eating in or taking out, you can pick out a “good one”, which according to Mike is defined by being chocolate. However, if you’re ordering delivery, you’ll probably get something un-meltable like hard candy since we’re sure you’d prefer getting your food hot.
3. We’ll be offering a free personal sized breadstix order with the purchase of any calzone and a soda. This special applies to all orders (eat in, take out, delivery, and Campus Food).
Have a very safe and happy Halloween everybody!
We have some new developments for you: specials and catering.
Since you’ve probably had our product there’s no need for me to sell you on how great these zones are for groups, thus I’m just going to ask that you give us 24hrs notice so we can staff accordingly for your large order. DP Dough + World Series = awesome
As for specials, we’re still in the process of nailing down our internal list but we have settled on some lunch ones for walk-ins:
Monday: Zone & Soda for $6.50 or 12 Wings & Soda for $8.00
Tuesday: 3 zones and 3 sodas for $18.00
Wednesday: 1 Cheestix, 0.5lbs of Dunkers, & 2 Sodas for $11.00
Thursday: 18 Wings & 2 Sodas for $12.00
Thanks,
Jason
We’re coming up on our second week of being open, and one thing that we are really loving is all the awesome people we’re making friends with. Here’s a quick shout out back at a few of these friends.
Shout out to future Pulitzer prize winning journalist Morgan of Underthebutton.com and her future best selling novelist friend, Stephanie. Morgan and Stephanie hung out with us the other night at the store and did an awesome article called “Getting in the Zone” on Under The Button. You can check out the article here. Thanks girls!

Shout out to big time eating competition champion, Bijan N. Rumor has it that Bijan won a burrito eating contest at big chain store all while rocking a DP Dough t-shirt and hat, and then proceeded to give us a shout out during his victory speech! You sir, are the man. If you have some photos from the event, send them over and well put them up on the blog.
