| - The concept is simple - great pizza AND chicken under one Sam Fox inspired roof. And, they nail it.
I've dined at doughbird on several occasions and always leave satisfied with the food and experience. The hummus is very tasty and is quickly devoured if shared. I've enjoyed the Aviator pizza, which is basically a meatlover's, adorned with pepperoni, Italian sausage, and bacon. Alternatively, check out the creative Brussel Sprout pizza with sweet potato, and yes, can't forget the bacon. Each pizza creation is loaded with fresh tasting toppings and enough food to share between two people, while also splitting an appetizer.
Then, there's the bird. Rotisserie free range chicken that is served halves or wholes. The meat is juicy and tasty, but it wasn't particularly unique. What really stood out was the selection of sauces - I tried the chipotle bbq and pineapple teriyaki. I thought both were terrific. I need to go back and check out the horseradish creme fraiche, maybe even on the prime rib. Ok, now you've got me hungry again!
Finally, both the salads and desserts were surprisingly good. I would pair the delightful chicken and avocado salad with a meatier pizza for a nice balance. Then, finish it off with the "Elvis." It's a delicious blend of peanut butter, chocolate, banana, and yes, again, candied bacon. It's a dessert that will certainly leave you all shook up...
Bottom line: Doughbird is a neat new addition to the Sam Fax restaurant lineup. Great food and ambience. I was not blown away like I've been at some of his other establishments, but Yay, I'm a fan, nonetheless.
