It was our first time at the Carmel King Dough location and we will definitely return! We've frequently visited the downtown location, but knew we'd be in Carmel on Tuesday evening to take advantage of their 2 for Tuesday special. This included a large salad and 14" speciality pizza for $35. Everything was delicious as always and our service was exceptional (thanks, Nadia!). The inside was clean and spacious. It's always interesting when restaurants have direct kitchen views. Easy to find parking and lots of other bars/restaurants nearby if you wanted to hop around. We didn't drink this evening, but loved their selection of Pax Verum beers. We will definitely return on a Friday for their happy hour!

Just recently started getting pizza from here. Probably in my top two as far as pizzas in the area. We've dined in three times and takeout twice. Really like the pizza and a decent beer selection. Only real issue is if you get a table closer to the front, the cold from the doors constantly opening is a bit annoying. They do a decent takeout business so people are always coming and going. Service is good and reasonably priced.

King Dough Carmel location is off Old Meridian Street. We went here on a Sunday night. Ordered a cheese pizza with some toppings and vegan Hive pizza, I think. The service was good, but it wasn't terribly busy to begin with. The decor is motivated by playing cards, which I rather liked. The pizza was well cooked, and there was nice char. The califlower wings were really good. Overall 8.5/10. It's plant-based friendly.

So, this is now one of my new pizza joints. That's rare for me to say that after only one visit. Food: Their pizza is oven-baked, and although it's not wood-fired, it comes out with much of the same char and blistering that a wood oven tends to produce. We had the Big Boy 14" pizza, and it was outstanding. Service: Service was great. We came on a Sunday afternoon at 4pm, so it wasn't busy during our visit, which means we got lots of attention from the wait staff. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Apparently it does get quite busy here at times. Ambiance: King Dough is located in the same storefront as one of my past favorite (now defunct) pizza restaurants. Back then, it was called Crust. I've always liked this corner space on Old Meridian. The decor is eclectic and has a quirky vibe - as does the wait staff. And, it works. the vibe of this place felt authentic and genuine, and just different enough to make everything stand out. We'll definitely be back here. But, be warned: This pizza is crave-worthy.

We were going to some friends house in Carmel so we thought we'd bring some pizza from King Dough. We've had great experiences at the downtown location. I was a little hesitant because the food at the downtown location is so good and a lot of times when restaurants grow they can't really duplicate that. That is not the case here we got the pizza to our friends house and everything was fantastic. Salad was delicious and the pizzas were killer. Next time we'll eat in the restaurant

King Dough's wings are the flavors you crave all week. They have an enormous "large" pizza with the good little meaty pepperonis and tons of other restaurant creations with the option to create your own pizza as well. I ordered takeout, and my pizza was ready when I got there--( I live 10 minutes away), but I had to wait a bit for the wings. Service was amazing, the host was friendly and attentive, checking frequently for my wings until they were done. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, a lot different than their flagship location, but honestly just as enjoyable and trendy & plenty of comfy seating options. This is one of my favorite pizza choices and I recommend. Dough made from scratch and tossed-- not flat crust or pan made-- and delicious salads. If you're thinking about it, yes yes! Go for it. Locally own and run.

This was our first visit to this location. We ordered the 14 inch big boy pizza and eight piece hot honey sesame wings. We've had that pizza previously at Theo downtown location and it was very good - just spicy enough with peppadew pepper, pepperoni, sausage and onion. The crust is delicious and chewy! The wings were the nice surprise. We will definitely get those again! It came with a side of ranch or bleu cheese and they didn't need any extra sauce.
