$5 Zone Of The Day! - July 25th, 2012

DP Dough Philly is proud to offer a different calzone for $5 every day! Check our twitter feed, or refer to the calendar below. Tell your friends, tell your mom, or tell a random person you just met on the street.

The Cliff Lee Zone of the Week! - December 15th, 2010

Hello DP Dough phaithfuls,

I would like to start out by saying how excited I am as a Phillies fan to have Cliff Lee back in our pitching rotation. So in honor of his return to the great city of Philadelphia, we will be running the Cliff Lee Zone as our Zone of the week.

The Cliff Lee Zone is a Strike Zone with a little bit more heat. (Breaded Eggplant, Mozzarella, Ricotta, Spinach, Garlic, and Sriracha hot chili sauce).

This calzone goes for $6, but for you Yankees fans, it’s going to cost you $150MM.

This is also a reminder to pick up a DP DOUGH GIFT CARD for the holiday season. You can put as much or as little on them as you want, and they are rechargeable as well!

I hope to see you all in the store before the holiday break, but if not, Happy Holidays from all of us here at DP Dough!!!

So here’s the deal…

Next week’s zone of the week will be picked by you guys, our loyal customers and email subscribers. Come up with a calzone that you think would be really good, but let’s keep it reasonable here, we’re not Jose Garces or anything.

Dessert Calzones and more - March 23rd, 2010

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.

Helping Haiti…follow up - January 22nd, 2010

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.

Helping Haiti - January 14th, 2010

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.

The D.P. Dough Philly Team
