The Dough Roller

The name caught my attention since it sounded like the pizza would be fresh and sure enough it was! I loved how close it was to the beach so that you could grab a quick bite without having to travel a lot just to get some quick eats in between swimming and playing games on the beach. The pizza was so fresh and delicious and our waiter was wonderful as well. 2 of my friends got the taco salad which was also wonderful. I would be lying if I gave this place any less then 5 stars! I will definitely be returning to this place is!

What would like on your pizza? Fly? Perfect they have tons and tons of flies for your pizza. They actually tried to serve my 5 year old food on an oily dirty plate and I couldn’t believe how dirty hot and fly ridden this restaurant was. I have been to third world countries that were cleaner and with a friendlier staff. The pizza is good if you don’t mind vomiting little flies all over it. I suggest ordering out or buying a slice and eating it on the beach minus the flies and sweltering heat from the ovens OH YEAH there’s no AC in the place either.

Bring a fly swatter! The food was good but OMG the flies! The flies in here made the eating experience unbearable and when we brought it to the attention of the manager we got an oh well. Our waitress even told us that they closed down an enrire section because of the flies. I would avoid eating in unless you want them crawling all over you. And BTW… we camp and are used to bugs but holy crap.

This location was steps from our hotel on the boardwalk and was our go to for breakfast. The country omelet is amazing. Though I could never finish more than half. The sausage is amazing, heavy on the sage and very tender. We also came here for dinner once. I got the fish and chips and wasn’t impressed. I don’t know that I’d try them again for dinner unless we were getting pizza, but their breakfasts are a tasty feast.

We had pretty high hopes for this place, and the only thing that was good was the service. And the funnel cake fries. Those were pretty good.
We got a mediocre burger, some extremely generic pizza w/​a funky cheese mix, and an excellent looking buffalo chicken sandwich that ended up being one of the compressed frozen chicken patties.
The waitress was friendly and prompt, and our food delivery was timely.

Best meal we had our entire vacation! Food was good, service was great! Will defn go back!

Being a snobby new yorker when it comes to pizza, I have to admit, the dough roller is as close as you can get to thin crust on the boardwalk. It’s thin, cheesy, and sauce is pretty good too. I was skeptical but now a fan.

Food was great
Waitress was great
Service was fast
Very clean
Best pizza on the beach
Pepperoni with extra cheese

Service was good. She was new and hadn’t burned out on the tourists yet. Very nice and attentive.
My son had the cheeseburger kid’s meal and it came with a toy shark! You can’t beat that.
I had the hot Italian sausage sub. It was passable. Not amazing but decent.
Maybe should have had the pizza. That is their speciality.

The worst breakfast experience ever… What can I say… Nothing was good… Pancakes taste terrible, I had to give back the French toasts because I wasn’t able to chew them… Everything is done with poor quality ingredients and microwaved before serving. Don’t go there! Service/​deco are not bad at all but when you want to eat, what matters is only the food!

Our server was awful. My daughter got her pasta about 5 minutes after we ordered but the rest of us waited another 15 minutes for ours. She was done and bored by the time our food arrived. Then our server finally offered us a refill, she took the glasses and then didn’t return them for about 10 minutes. While the food was good, it was ruined by a horrible server. The place wasn’t even 50% full so there was no excuse for bad service.

Literally the worst place I’ve eaten in ocean city, I never understand why anyone would eat here when there are great restaurants all over town. Overpriced and terrible, atleast this one on the boardwalk. Haven’t tried the big one down the street so I can speak on that.

My boyfriend and I came here for lunch on a day trip to OC.
We were greeted by a woman who didn’t seem happy, almost as if it were a burden to wait on us.
$ 5.99 for the piña colada and strawberry daiquiri drinks — definitely have had better.
I got a cheesesteak which had cheese, onions, and lettuce on it and generally had no taste whatsoever.
The boyfriend got a chicken parmigiana sub.
For subs/​sandwiches; they do not come with fries and to add them to your meal would be an extra $ 2.99 which I thought was ridiculous.
Maybe the pizza is good? Probably should’ve gotten that.
We walked out paying $ 39 for two meals and two drinks.
Overall, not a good experience. Staff wasn’t friendly, food and drinks were below average, and personally I think they’re overpriced for the quality of food. We won’t be eating here again.

Everytme I go to ocean city Maryland I eat dough rollers! I have eaten at two locations and they both are consistent but this location. Is on the boardwalk so it open and way more noise and movement now that’s not a problem for me I am just letting you guys know. If you want more quiet go to the location on ocean drive. It’s less hustle bustle and closed in! Enjoy! Because it’s the best pizza I had in a very long time!

Unilocal, pleeeeasse let us do half stars.
If I could, I’d give this place 3.5. I’ve tried the cheese, veggie, and pepperoni pizza here. Cheese was actually the best. Anyway, the pizza is really good, but that’s all I could speak to. One of the two times I ate here, I ordered the pizza at the take out counter. When my husband and I saw the slices come out of the oven, we looked at each other like, «ew,» but looks were deceiving – it was really good. The crust is nice and crunchy but soft and yummy at the same time.
The server was okay. Not super friendly or rude – just getting through her shift. The inside was fair and air conditioned/​cool even though the front doors are open.

The food was great! Pizza was delicious. The best item on the menu though are the funnel fries! I could go through a Colonel’s bucket of those.

I don’t understand what it means to call a place «a tradition.» That doesn’t mean the food is good — just that you’re stupid enough to keep coming back.
I felt an overwhelming feeling of sadness and despair when we were seated in the back. The lighting is like a Lane Bryant inside a failing strip mall in the year 1987. It’s yellow and nauseating. Carousel horses mock you while you eat.
The place is PACKED with families — shrieking kids everywhere, while the entire front portion of the restaurant (which actually looks fairly tolerable) is left ½ empty. It was like a bait and switch. We asked to move immediately. We would have gone some place else if it wasn’t our «let’s just eat something before we head home, it’s this or the rest stop» meal.
The food is overpriced crap. It will take you 30 minutes to discern the menu. Why there are categories for Subs, Grinders, and Sandwiches is a study in repetition that would make a restaurant consultants head spin around — provided he’s not vomiting from the food. The salad was ok, but I only ordered it to avoid eating anything that would make me sick. Also, because it was one of the cheapest things on the menu and I will not be one of those people that gets shaken down for half his net worth in return for reheated Costco food.

I’m a 20% tipper but I gave our waiter 8%. I gave him the 8% because at least he didn’t kill us. We ordered and only asked for two other things. Crayons for the 8 year old and a side of ranch, neither of which we got. Apparently they don’t own a broom at this location since I was able to scavenge 5 crayons from the floor amid the straw wrappers and napkins. A runner brought our food out so other than the taking the order, our waiter didn’t do much other than letting our water run dry.
The food was good though. I just can’t stand poor service.

Dough rollers is a ocean city tradition. If you expect to be blown away with the best food you ever had, prepare for disappointment. If you want a nice fresh dough, thin crust pizza then you’ll enjoy it here. They also have other things like subs, sandwiches and salads. But if you come and don’t get a pie, then something is wrong with you. It’s a pizza place.
My favorite topping is the sausage. It’s not those small brown nuggets you get from dub shops. No, it’s fresh crumbled sausage. In the mood for pancakes? Pancakes are sold allllllllll daaaaaayyyyyy loooonnnnggggg. Service is always fast. Tables are always clean and I enjoy the old school lunch boxes and other cool things they have around.
Prices are fair and best of all they have a kids menu. They also give the kids a toy. Each year it’s something different. My kids look forward to going here. It’s usually our first stop!

We were looking for somewhere to grab a quick dinner and sit down away from the rain. This Dough Roller location was a poor choice.
My friend and I were seated in a booth with filthy floors. Napkins, crayons and food littered the floor. We were moved to another booth. There was old cheese stuck on the napkin dispenser.
Our poor server had difficulty with the tablet they use to order because it was his first day. Several staff stood around chatting by the kitchen area and only one gentleman was bussing tables. He cleared three and wiped them down while others watched.
My bbq chicken sandwich meal was somehow brought out in under five minutes along with our onion rings appetizer. The waitress said BBQ pork and when I asked, ‘chicken?’ she replied, ‘oh yeah, chicken.’ The sandwich was disgusting looking. Absolutely dried, crusty and old. The sauce was dried up from the quick reheat via microwave.
I returned the sandwich and asked for a burger instead. The bbq sandwich came with coleslaw. Someone sent the waiter back to us to say, «They said either I have to take back the coleslaw or you have to pay for it.» As I did not have a special bond to the slaw, I sent with the poor waiter.
The burger was the mushroom and onion and was cooked on a grill and tasted fine. My friend said his cheese pizza was fine too. That’s the only reason for two stars. Everything else was worth one.
We also had to ask for straws for our water, plates and utensils. No one came over to check on us for 15 minutes and they had only 5 tables occupied.
If you choose to visit OCMD at the very least try a different Dough Roller location as this one was more frustrating than eating sand.
